Barium titanate nanoparticles were synthesized under N$_2$ atmosphere by the hydrolysis and condensation of barium hydroxide octahydrate and titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The synthesized particles were aggregates of nanosized primary particles. The primary particles of about 20-50 nm in diameter became building blocks of larger secondary particles, which are in most cases spherical in shape. The size and morphological evolution of secondary particles are strongly related to the precursor concentration. The observations suggest that formation and control of secondary particles is an essential step in the alkoxidehydroxide sol-precipitation process to obtain monodispersed barium titanate nanopowders.

Nanosized $WO_3$ powders were synthesized by the sol-precipitation process using $WCl_{6}$ as the starting material, ethanol as a solvent and $NH_4$OH solution as a precipitant, followed by a washing-drying treatment and calcination. The effects on the powder crystallinity and microstructure of calcination temperature were investigated with XRD and FE-SEM. The $WO_3$ powders calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ showed good crystallinity and their mean particle size was 30nm and 70nm, respectively. These powders were used for the preparation of pastes which were printed as thick films on alumina substrates with comb-type Pt electrodes. The particle size strongly influenced the $NO_2$ gas sensing property of the thick films. A significant reduction in the $NO_2$ sensitivity was observed for the film prepared from larger particle size, having thus a larger grain size. For the film having a smaller grain size, on the other hand, the higher $NO_2$ sensitivity was observed and the sensitivity increased with $NO_2$ concentration.

There is increasing interest in zirconia as a dental material due to its aesthetics, as well as the exceptionally high fracture toughness and high strength that are on offer when it is alloyed with certain oxides like yttria. In recent years, many solution based chemical synthesis methods have been reported for synthesis of zirconia, of which the sol-gel method is considered to be best. Here, we synthesize zirconia by a sol gel assisted precipitation method using either PEG or PVA as a stabilizing agent. Zirconia sol is first synthesized using the hydrothermal method. We used NaOH as the precipitating agent in this method because it is easy to remove from the final solution. Zirconium and yttrium salts are used as precursors and PEG or PVA are used as stabilizers to separate the metal ions. The resulting amorphous zirconia powder is calcined at $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 h to get crystallized zirconia. XRD analysis confirmed the partially stabilized zirconia synthesis in all the synthesized powders. SEM was taken to check the morphology of the powder synthesized using either PEG or PVA as a stabilizing agent and finally the transparency was calculated. The results confirmed that the powder synthesized with 10 % PVA as the stabilizing agent had highest percentage of transparency among all the synthesized powder.

고분자 전해질 연료전지의 연료에 포함된 일산화탄소의 선택적 산화를 위하여, 귀금속 촉매를 대체하기 위한 CuO-$CeO_2$ 복합 산화물 촉매를 졸-겔법과 공침법으로 제조하였다. 졸-겔법으로 촉매 제조 시 Cu/Ce의 비와 가수분해 비를 변화시켰다. 제조한 촉매의 활성은 귀금속 촉매($Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$)와 비교하였다. Cu/Ce의 비를 변화시키면서 제조한 촉매 중 Cu/Ce의 비가 4:16인 촉매가 가장 높은 CO 전환율(90%)과 선택도(60%)를 나타내었다. 촉매의 제조에서 가수분해 비가 증가할수록 촉매 표면적이 증가하였고, 아울러 촉매 활성 또한 증가하였다. 공침법으로 제조한 촉매와 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 가장 높은 CO 전환율은 각각 82% 및 81%인 반면, 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매의 경우는 90%가 얻어졌다. 이는 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매가 공침법으로 제조한 촉매나 귀금속 촉매보다 더 높은 촉매활성을 보임을 의미한다. CO-TPD 실험을 통하여, 낮은 온도($140^{\circ}C$)에서 CO를 탈착하는 촉매가 본 반응에서 더 높은 촉매활성을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

An electrochromic nickel oxide thin film was fabricated on a flexible PET/ITO substrate using a nanocrystallite- dispersed coating sol and bar coater. Nanocrystalline NiOx of 3-4 nm crystallite size was first synthesized by base precipitation and thermal conversion. This NiOx nanocrystallite powder was mechanically dispersed in an alcoholic solvent mixed with a silane binder to prepare a coating sol for thin film. This sol method is different from the normal sol-gel method in that it does not require the conversion of precursor by heat treatment. Therefore, this method provides a very facile method to prepare NiOx thin films on any kind of substrate and it can be easily applied to mass production. The electrochromic performance of this NiOx thin film on PET/ITO electrode with a thickness of about 400 nm was investigated in a nonaqueous LiClO4 electrolyte solution by cyclic voltammetric and repeated chronoamperometric measurements in conjunction with spectrophotometry. The visible light modulation of 44% and the colorization efficiency of 41 ㎠/C at 550 nm were obtained at the step potentials of -0.8/+1.2 V vs Ag and a duration of 30 s.

다이옵사이드(CaMgSi₂O₆)는 생체활성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 우수한 기계적 성질도 보유한 물질로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 지르코니아 세라믹스의 생체활성을 향상시키기 위하여 지르코니아 기판 표면에 다이옵사이드를 솔젤법으로 코팅하고 in vitro 시험을 통해 지르코니아 기판의 생체활성 증진을 고찰하였다. 코팅용 다이옵사이드 솔은 Ca(NO₃)₂·H₂O, MgCl₂·H₂O 및 Si(OC₂H₅)₄를 각각의 몰비로 에탄올에 용해한 후 가수분해시켜 제조하였다. 다이옵사이드 코팅에 의한 생체활성 증진을 고찰하기 위하여 SBF 용액 내에서 in vitro 시험을 진행하였는데, 침적초기에는 주로 코팅층 다이옵사이드 입자들의 표면용해가 관찰되었고, 새로운 하이드록시아파타이트 입자의 석출은 14일 침적시편에서 주로 관찰되었다. In vitro 시험 시 SBF(Simulated Body Fluid) 용액에 대한 다이옵사이드 코팅층의 용해와 기판 표면에 석출되는 하이드록시아파타이트 층의 양과 형태는 코팅횟수와 코팅층 두께에 의존하였다.

CuCl nanocrystallites dispersed nonlinear optical silica and borosilicate glasses were fabricated by sol-gel process. CuCl powder was dissolved in TEOS(Si(OC2H5)4) and TMB((CH3O)3B), precursors of silica and borosilicate glasses, with ethanol, water and HCl, and precipitated through the heat treatment in the matrix glass. The optical properties of CuCl doped glasses were measured using the spectrophotometer at room temperature and low temperature(77K); Z1, 2 and Z3 exciton peaks from the absorption spectra, were observed at about 370 nm and 380 nm, respectively. The average radius of nanocrystallites, calculated from the blue shift of Z3 excitons, was measured according to annealing temperature and time. The precipitation temperature of CuCl nanocrystallites was decreased when boron was added to silica glass. Increase of annealing temperature and time made average radius of nanocrystallites saturated about 2 nm.

Two-component ceramic (alumina-zirconia) composites were fabricated by a soft-solution process in which polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a polymeric carrier. Metal salts and PEG were dissolved in ethyl alcohol without any precipitation in 1:1 volume ratio of alumina and zirconia. In the non-aqueous system, the flammable solvent made explosive, exothermic reaction during drying process. The reaction resulted in formation of volume expanded, porous precursor powders by a vigorous decomposition of organic components in the precursor sol. The PEG content affected the grain size of sintered composites as well as the morphology of precursor powders. The difference of microstructure in sintered composite was attribute to the solubility and homogeneity of metal cations in precursor sol. At the optimum amount of the PEG polymer, the metal ions were dispersed effectively in solution and a homogeneous polymeric network was formed. It made less agglomerated particles in the precursor sol and affected on uniform grain size in sintered composite.

PbTiO3 thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin coating method using metal alkoxide and diethanolamine (DEA). The precipitation of the PbTiO3 sol occurred at pH 7.3 with HNO3 addition, regardless of the amount of DEA. The gelation time of the PbTiO3 sol was reduced with increasing amount of HNO3 and/or water. When the PbTiO3 films prepared by 0.2 molar coating solution were annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, dense and single phase perovskite films were obtained. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of the film were 239 and 0.01 at 1 kHz, respectively.
