To improve the photocatalyticactivity of $TiO_2$-coated coal fly ash, tungsten hydroxide was doped by impregnation method and was oxidized by heat treatment in temperature ranges of $WO^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The changes of crystal structure and crystal size of $TiO_2$and $WO_3$on coal fly ash were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structure of titanium dioxide showed only anatase type and $TiO_2$-$WO_3$ compounds appeared in the heat treatment temperature ranges of $500∼600^{\circ}C$. By adding $V_3$in $TiO_2$coated on fly ash, the growth of crystal size of anatase was restrained and the anatase phase was stabilized in temperature ranges of TEX>$500∼<800^{\circ}C$. And $WO_3$acted as a trap site of electrons excited from anatase by irradiating UV. The maximum removal efficiency of NO gas for $TiO_2$/$WO_3$-coated coal fly ash was 84% and appeared when the ammonium tungstate of $1.3${\times}$10^{-3}$ M was doped and then heated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs.

In photocatalytic reaction, the doping of metal matter can alter the titania surface properties. As such the metal matter can increase the rate of the reaction. The influence of metal doping and calcination condition of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst was investigated at the batch-type photoreactor. Several metal matters were doped to the $TiO_2$ catalyst to improve photodegradation efficiency. During the experiments, water content was 3wt%, and reactor temperature was $40^{\circ}C$. Palladium-doped $TiO_2$ was found to be the best, where as platinum or tungsten-added also showed good results. Additional doping of platinum or tungsten on Pd/$TiO_2$ had no increase on the removal efficiency. To obtain proper calcination condition, various experiments about calcination temperature and time were carried out. As a result, the optimum calcination condition was temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, time of 1 hour.

Halide-activated pack cementation was utilized to deposit B-doped silicide coating. The pack powders were consisted of $3Wt.c/oNH_4Cl$, 7Wt.c/oSi, $90Wt.c/oAl_2O_3+TiB_2$. B-doped silicide coating was consisted of two layers, an outer layer of $NbSi_2$ and an inner layer of $Nb_5Si_3$. Isothermal oxidation resistance of B-doped silicide coating was tested at $1250^{\circ}C$ in static air. B-doped silicide coating had excellent oxidation resistance, because continuous $SiO_2$ scale which serves as obstacle of oxygen diffusion was formed after oxidation.

The dielectric properties and microstructure of SrTiO3-based grain boundary layer (GBL) capacitor were investigated, and SrTiO3 GBL capacitor was made by penetrating the Frit (PbO-Bi2O3-B2O3 system). The Nb2O5-doped SrTiO3 ceramics were fired for 4-hours, at 145$0^{\circ}C$ in H2-N2 atomsphere to get semiconductive ceramics. The grain size of SrTiO3 sintered at reduction atmosphere had increased as the amount of Nb2O5 increases and then decreased as the amount of Nb2O5 exceeded 0.2 mole%. Insulating reagents which contained PbO-Bi2O3-B2O3 system frit and oxide mixture were printed on the each semiconductive ceramics and fired at varying temperature and for different holding time. The optimum dielectric properties could be obtained by second heat treatment at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, when frit paste was printed. A SrTiO3-based GBLC had the apparent permitivity of about 3.2$\times$104, the dielectric loss of 0.01~0.02 and the stable temperature coefficient of capacitance. The influence of frit paste on dielectric properties was similiar to that of oxide paste but the stability of temperature property of capacitance was improved.

Using the $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}){TiO_3}$(BST) powders prepared by the Sol-Gel method, the EST thick films were fabricated on the ${Al_2}{O_3}$ substrates coated with Pt by the screen printing method. Compared with pure EST thick films, the structural and dielectric properties of the EST thick films doped with 1${\sim}$10 wt % MgO were investigated. It was observed that the Mg substitution into EST causes a shift in the cubic-tetragonal EST phase transition peak to a lower temperature. The microstructure of the EST substituted with Mg was homogeneous and dense. Mg substitution into EST had a significant effect on the grain size reduction. Dielectric constant was decreased with increasing the MgO content and temperature. In the case of EST thick films doped with 1 wt% MgO, the relative permittivity and dielectric loss were 158] and 1.4 % at 1 MHz.

During the past few years, titanium salts were investigated as alternative coagulants for the removal of organic matter of different molecular sizes in contaminated water. The flocculation efficiency of Ti-salt was comparable to those of $FeCl_3$ and $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ salts, commonly used coagulants. Incinerated sludge-$TiO_2$ showed higher surface area and photocatalytic activity than commercially available $TiO_2$. Metal-doped forms were produced by adding coagulant aids such as iron (Fe-), aluminium (Al-) and (Ca-) calcium salts during Ti-salt flocculation to increase pH. Ca- and Al- doped $TiO_2$ showed very high photocatalytic activity compared to Fe-doped $TiO_2$. When tested in a pilot scale plant for treatment of dye wastewater to check practical feasibility of the novel process, the removal ratio of the chemical oxygen demand was comparable to those of commonly used coagulants but the settling of sludge was faster. The $TiO_2$ generated after sludge incineration showed a high photocatalytic activity for degradation of volatile organic compounds and increased the rate of hydrogen production by water photosplitting. $TiCl_4$ coagulant and $TiO_2$ produced from different water sources with different concentrations had low acute toxicity compared to heavy metals and commercial $TiO_2$ when examined based on D. Magna mortality. This paper presents the production, characterisation and the photoactivity of $TiO_2$ produced from Ti-salt flocculated sludge. Different case studies are discussed to highlighted recent advances in this field.

SDC (Samarium doped Ceria) electrolyte was developed for Intermediate temperature SOFC ($500^{\circ}C-800^{\circ}C$) which showed a good electrical conductivity. In this study, we used sintering aids to reduce the SDC sintering temperature down to $1000^{\circ}C$, especially which can help the SOFC scale-up. In order to reduce the SDC sintering temperature, $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ were used as a sinering aids for decreasing sintering temperature. $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ doped SDC sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ showed 99% of the theoretical density and higher electrical conductivity than the pure SDC sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$. When measuring the OCV (Open circuit voltage) with the $Li_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ doped SDC electrolyte, however, the OCV values were lower than the theoretical OCV values which means that the modified SDC still had electronic conductivity.

A mechanism for formation of surface reoxidation layer in Surface Boundary Layer Capacitor (SBLC) has been studied. SBLC were prepared by reduction of $BaTiO_3$ doped with $Bi_2O_3$ and electrode firing of silver paste containing $Bi_2O_3$ The apparent dielectric constant was in the order of $10^5$ and the insulation resistance larger than $10^6$$\Omega$ It can be expected that $Bi_2O_3$ dopant in $BaTiO_3$ plays the role of inhibition of grain growth and decreasing the resistivity of $BaTiO_3$. In order to confirm the process of surface reoxidation layer effects of atmosphere and annealing time in electrode sintering were investigated.

In this study, the photo-deposition method was used to introduce Ag onto the surface of TiO₂ to synthesize an Ag-TiO₂ composite. The effects of the varying amounts of AgNO₃ precursor and annealing time periods on the Ag content in the composites, as well as their antibacterial characteristics under visible light conditions were studied. SEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the Ag-TiO₂ composite. Compared with TiO₂, the Ag particles were too small to be observed. An XPS analysis of the Ag-TiO₂ surface confirmed the Ag content and showed the peak intensities for elements such as Ag, Ti, O, C, and Si. The highest Ag content was observed when 33.3 wt.% of AgNO₃ and an annealing time of 6 h were employed; this was the optimum annealing time for Ti-Ag-O bonding, in that the lowest number of O bonds and the highest number of Ag bonds were confirmed by XPS analysis. Superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus and Escherichia coli, in addition to the widest inhibition zones were exhibited by the Ag-TiO₂ composite with an increased Ag content in a disk diffusion test, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%.

Effects of oxygen deficiency on the room temperature ferromagnetism in Fe-doped reduced $TiO_2$ have been investigated by comparing the air-annealed $Ti_{0.97}Fe_{0.03}O_2$ compound with secondly post-annealed one in vacuum ambience. The air-annealed sample showed a paramagnetic behavior at room temperature. However, when the sample was further annealed in vacuum, a strongly enhanced ferromagnetic behavior was observed at same temperature. $M{\"{o}}ssbauer$ spectra of air-annealed sample at 295K showed a single doublet of $Fe^{3+}$, suggesting that the Fe ions are paramagnetic. On the other hand, the absorption spectra after vacuum-annealing exhibited two doublets, in which one is the same component with air-annealed sample and the other is new doublet corresponding to $Fe^{2+}$ state. This result suggests that the occurrence of ferromagnetism in reduced sample may be interpreted as the contribution of unquenched orbital moment of $Fe^{2+}$ ions.
