In this article, the effect of silica addition on the phase transformation characteristics of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles synthesized by using an $O_2$-enriched coflow, hydrogen, diffusion flame was investigated. TTIP(titanium tetra-isopropoxide) and TEOS(tetraethyl-orthosilicate) were used as precursors for $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, respectively. Based on the results from TEM and XRD analysis, it is believed that the silica addition on the flame synthesis of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles reduces the particle size distribution and raises the temperature of the phase transition from anatase to rutile. But the reduced sizes of the synthesized particles due to the silica addition made the sintering and phase transformation of particles more easily.

본 연구에서는 에너지 여과장치와 직접 고온 가열 장치를 이용하여 실리카 나노입자의 비정질 구조 분석과 가열실험을 통한 구조변화에 대해 연구하였다. 실리카 나노입자의 전자회절도형은 세 개의 diffuse한 ring으로 구성이 되어 있으며, $900^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 실리카 나노입자는 서서히 결정화가 이루어짐을 알 수가 있었다. 세 개의 diffuse한 ring은 비정질 실리카 구조가 $SiO_4$ tetrahedra가 구조의 기본 단위로 이루어졌으며, 가열에 의해 이들이 점이적으로 tridymite 이상적인 층상 구조로 결정화되어 간다는 것을 이해할 수 있었다. 또한 전자현미경 내의 고진공하에서 $850^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도 가열로 인해 $SiO_2$로부터 증발된 SiO가 grid에 재증착되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 남아 있는 $SiO_2$는 전기로를 이용한 가열 실험결과와 같이 비정질 구조에서 orthorhombic trydimite로의 결정화가 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다.

Silica-manganese oxides with a core-shell structure were synthesized via precipitation of manganese oxides on the $SiO_2$ core while varying the concentration of a precipitation agent. Elemental analysis, crystalline property investigation, and morphology observations using low- and high-resolution electron microscopes were applied to the synthesized silica-manganese oxides with the core-shell structure. As the concentration of the precipitating agent increased, the manganese oxide shells around the $SiO_2$ core sequentially appeared as $Mn_3O_4$ particles, $Mn_2O_3+Mn_3O_4$ thin layers, and ${\alpha}-MnO_2$ urchin-like phases. The prepared samples were assembled as electrodes in a supercapacitor with 0.1 M $Na_2SO_4$ electrolyte, and their electrochemical properties were examined using cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge cycling. The maximum specific capacitance obtained was 197 F $g^{-1}$ for the $SiO_2-MnO_2$ electrode due to the higher electronic conductivity of the $MnO_2$ shell compared to those of the $Mn_2O_3$ and $Mn_3O_4$ phases.

졸겔법에 의해 제조된$ MO-SiO_2$(M=Zn, Sn, In, Ag, Ni)이성분계 실리카 겔에서 금속이온의 종류에 따른 실리카 구조의 변화를 XRD, FT-lR, $^{29}$Si-NMR로 분석하였다. XRD peak을 관찰한 결과 $Ag-SiO_2$겔에서 $AgNO_3$의 부분적인 재결정화가 나타났지만, 첨가된 금속이온과 실리카 매트릭스의 결합에 의한 결정상은 관찰되지 않았다. FT-IR 분석결과 첨가되는 금속이온 중 Zn, Sn, In은 부분적으로 Si-O-M의 결합형태를 이루어 Si-O-Si 대칭 진동에 의한 흡수 peak의 위치를 변화시켰다. $^{29}$Si-NMR 관찰에 의해 Zn, Sn, In등의 금속이온은 실리카의 저온 졸겔 반응에 영향을 미치지 않고 불완전한 네트워크를 갖는 선형적 실리카 구조 내에서 비가교 산소와 결합하며 존재하였다. Ag, Ni는 실리카 네트워크가 형성되는 과정에서 실리카 형성을 위한 졸겔반응의 촉매로서 작용하여, 이러한 금속이온이 첨가된 실리카 네트워크는 보다 치밀한 구조적 특성을 나타내었다.

Synthetic mica $NaMg_{2.5}(Si_4O_{10})F_2 (Na-TSM)$ was treated with HCl solution and H-type exchange resin to investigate the chemical stability and the ion exchange by measuring the dissolution of chemical components and the exchanged $H^+$ ion. The replacement of $Na^+$ ion occurred in contact with HCl solution and H-type ion exchange resin at the surface of Na-TSM particles reached $Na^+$ ions at maximum value of 70~80%. $Mg^{2+}$ ion of octahedral layer became to dissolve from the pH2 solution and th amount of it dissolved in-creased almost proportional to $H^+$ ion concentration from around 0.02N $H^+$ ion equilibrium concentration. The crystalline structure of Na-TSM was destructed by dissolution of Mg2+ ion in cncentrated hydrochloric acid solution and resulted silica gel precipitation.

Electrochemical characterization was conducted on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-ceramic composite (PVA-CC) separators for supercapacitor applications. The PVA-CC separators were fabricated by mixing various ceramic particles including aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$), silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$), and titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) into a PVA aqueous solution. These ceramic particles help to create amorphous regions in the crystalline structure of the polymer matrix to increase the ionic conductivity of PVA. Supercapacitors were assembled using PVA-CC separators with symmetric activated carbon electrodes and electrochemical characterization showed enhanced specific capacitance, rate capability, cycle life, and ionic conductivity. Supercapacitors using the $PVA-TiO_2$ composite separator showed particularly good electrochemical performance with a 14.4% specific capacitance increase over supercapacitors using the bare PVA separator after 1000 cycles. With regards to safety, PVA becomes plasticized when immersed in 6 M KOH aqueous solution, thus there was no appreciable loss in tear resistance when the ceramic particles were added to PVA. Thus, the enhanced electrochemical properties can be attained without reduction in safety making the addition of ceramic nanoparticles to PVA separators a cost-effective strategy for increasing the ionic conductivity of separator materials for supercapacitor applications.
