저온 플라즈마 반응과 광촉매 반응을 복합적으로 사용하여 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds)의 일종인 고농도(1000 ppm) 톨루엔의 분해에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 사용된 촉매는 균일한 기공크기를 갖는 hexagonal 형태의 Mn-Ti-MCM-41 촉매로서, 수열 합성법으로 합성하였고, XRD, XPS, TEM, BET/ICP, $NH_3$/Toluene-TPD 등의 특성 분석을 통해서 톨루엔의 분해반응에 적절한 촉매임을 확인할 수 있었다. 상온($20^{\circ}C$)에서 반응을 실시하였고, 반응기에 인가된 전압은 9.0 kV로 고정하였다. 실험결과, 플라즈마 단독 시스템에서 톨루엔의 분해반응을 실시하였을 때 광촉매 단독 시스템에서 보다 40% 이상 활성이 향상되었다. 그러나 플라즈마 단독 시스템에서는 페놀, $C_2{\sim}C_4$의 알켄류 등의 부생성물의 발생량이 증가하였다. 한편, 플라즈마-광촉매 복합 시스템에서 톨루엔의 분해를 실시하였을 경우, 부생성물의 발생량이 현저하게 줄어들었다. 한편, 플라즈마-광촉매 복합 시스템에서 톨루엔의 분해를 실시하였을 경우, 부생성물의 발생량이 현저하게 줄어들었다. 특히, Mn5mol%-Ti-MCM-41 촉매를 사용하였을 경우 분해된 톨루엔의 농도 800 ppm 중에서 $CO_2$로의 전환율은 43.9%로 다른 촉매들에 비해 가장 높은 선택도를 보였다. 이는 플라즈마-광촉매 복합 시스템이 톨루엔의 분해 반응에 있어서 광촉매 반응이나 플라즈마 단독 반응에 비해 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

AC and ZnS modified $TiO_2$ composites (AC/ZnS/$TiO_2$) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The composite obtained was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, and according to the UV-vis absorption spectra (UV-vis). XRD patterns of the composites showed that the AC/ZnS/$TiO_2$ composites contain a typical single and clear anatase phase. The surface properties as observed by SEM present the characterization of the texture of the AC/ZnS/$TiO_2$ composites, showing a homogenous composition in the particles showing the micro-surface structures and morphology of the composites. The EDX spectra of the elemental identification showed the presence of C and Ti with Zn and S peaks for the AC/ZnS/$TiO_2$ composite. UV-vis patterns of the composites showed that these composites had greater photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. A rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of Rh.B was determined using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. An increase in the photocatalytic activity was observed. From the photocatalytic results, the excellent activity of the Y-fullerene/$TiO_2$ composites for the degradation of methylene blue under visible irradiation could be attributed to an increase in the photo-absorption effect caused by the ZnS and to the cooperative effect of the AC.

최근 산화아연 나노입자의 물리-화학적 특성을 이용하여 다양한 분야에 응용하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산화아연 나노입자의 산화-환원 반응을 이용하여 광촉매의 응용 연구를 진행하였다. 이러한 산화아연 광촉매는 산화티타늄 광촉매에 비하여 물 용매에서의 $Zn(OH)_2$를 형성하여 광촉매 활성을 감소시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 분무 열분해 방법을 이용하여 산화아연 나노입자를 합성하고 이렇게 합성된 산화아연 나노입자의 물에 대한 안정성 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과 1일 동안 물 용매 처리를 한 산화아연 나노입자의 표면에 molecular $H_2O$의 증가로 인하여 광촉매 효율이 증가하는 결과를 나타내었으며 본 연구에서 합성된 산화아연 나노입자가 물 용매에서 안정하다는 결과를 도출하였다.

Different weight percentages of Ag, Pt, and Au doped nano $TiO_2$ were synthesized using the acetic acid hydrolyzed sol-gel method. The crystallite phase, surface morphology combined with elemental composition and light absorption properties of the doped nano $TiO_2$ were comprehensively examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ sorption analysis, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray, and DRS UV-vis analysis. The doping of noble metals stabilized the anatase phase, without conversion to rutile phase. The formation of gold nano particles in Au doped nano $TiO_2$ was confirmed from the XRD patterns for gold. The specific surface area was found to be in the range 50 to 85 $m^2$/g. TEM images confirmed the formation a hexagonal plate like morphology of nano $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic activity of doped nano $TiO_2$ was evaluated using 4-chlorophenol as the model pollutant. Au doped (0.5 wt %) nano $TiO_2$ was found to exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than the other noble metal doped nano $TiO_2$, pure nano $TiO_2$ and commercial $TiO_2$ (Degussa P-25). This enhanced photocatalytic activity was due to the cathodic influence of gold in suppressing the electron-hole recombination during the reaction.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a direct band gap semiconductor with 3.37 eV, which has in a hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO is a good candidate for a photocatalyst because it has physical and chemical stability, high oxidative properties, and absorbs of ultraviolet light. During ZnO is irradiated by UV light, redox (reduction and oxidation) reactions will occur on the ZnO surface, generating the radicals O2- and OH. These two powerful oxidizing agents have been proven to be effective in decomposition of harmful organic materials, converting them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, we assume that oxygen on the surface of ZnO is a very important factor in the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles. Recently, ZnO nanoparticles are studied in various application fields by many researchers. Photocatalyst research is progressing much in various application fields. But the ZnO nanoparticles have disadvantage that is unstable in water in comparison titanium dioxide (TiO2). The Zn(OH)2 was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoaprticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their phtocatalytic activity changes. The characterization of ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET test. Also we defined the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles using UV-VIS Spectroscopy. And we explained changing of photocatalytic activity after the water treatment using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).

Nanocrystalline Zn$Fe_2O_4$ oxide-semiconductor with spinel structure was synthesized by the polymerized complex (PC) method and investigated for its photocatalytic and photoelectric properties. The observation of a highly pure phase and a lower crystallization temperature in Zn$Fe_2O_4$ made by PC method is in total contrast to that was observed in Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. The band gap of the nanocrystalline Zn$Fe_2O_4$ determined by UV-DRS was 1.90 eV (653 nm). The photocatalytic activity of Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by PC method as investigated by the photo-decomposition of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) under visible light (${\geq}$ 420 nm) was much higher than that of the Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by SSR as well as Ti$O_{2-x}N_x$. High photocatalytic activity of Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by PC method was mainly due to its surface area, crystallinity and the dispersity of platinum metal over Zn$Fe_2O_4$.
