Nickel nanoparticle-poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$ composite (Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$) was prepared by in situ polymerization method. The physical and chemical properties of Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$ were investigated by XRD, FT-IR, BET, TGA, SEM and TEM techniques. The catalytic performance of this novel heterogeneous catalyst was determined for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and phenylboronic acid in the presence of methanol-water mixture as solvent. The effects of reaction temperature, the amount of catalyst, amount of support, solvent, and amount of metal for the synthesis of Ni-PVP/$TiO_2-ZrO_2$, were investigated as well as recyclability of the heterogeneous composite. The catalyst used for this synthetically useful transformation showed considerable level of reusability besides very good activity.

Effects of MnO2 addition ranged from 0.0wt% to 5.0wt% on the microstructure and dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 Ceramics have been investigated. The solubility limit of MnO2 in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 is about 0.5wt%, and MnO2 as a valence state of Mn3+ is substituted for (Zr, Ti) lattice site in PZT solid-solution. The addition of MnO2 up to 0.5wt% in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 brings increase of density, but decreased of grain size and tetragonality. Dielectric constant slightly decreases, but both coupling factor(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) increase with the addition of MnO2. However, excess amount of MnO2 addition more than 0.75wt% results in rapid decrease of resistance. Dielectric constant and tan $\delta$ increase due to the second phase and inhomogeneous Mn distribution.

Pyrochlore is known as one of the most promising materials for the immobilization of radionuclide in high level waste. This study included the synthesis, phase relation and characteristics of $pyrochlore(CaCeZr_xTi_{2-x}O_{7,\;x=0.2\~2.0)$ in the system of Ca-Ce-Zr-Ti-O. Using the CPS(Cold pressing and sintering) method, the mixtures of $CaCO3_,\;CeO_2,\;ZrO_2\;and\;TiO_2$ oxides were pressed, and sintered at $1100\~1600^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours. The optimal synthetic conditions at various compositions were differed from 1300 to $1600^{\circ}C$ Even in the optimal temperatures, pyrochlore or fluorite coexisted with minor amount of perovskite, $CeO_2\;or\;Ce_{0.75}Zr_{0.25}O_2$. It was confirmed that pyrochlore and fluorite structures were stable at $x\leq0.6\;and\;x\geq1.0$, respectively. Especially, the compositions of pyrochlore or fluorite showed non-stoichiometric compositions in that contents of Ca and Ti were more deficient and those of Zr and Ce were more excess than batch compositions with the increase of x value. These characteristics stemmed from the behavior of elements occupied at eight- and six-coordinated site, and then caused the coexistence of perovskite, $CeO_2\;or\;Ce_{0.75}Zr_{0.25}O_2$ along with pyrochlore or fluorite.

Single phases of multi-component oxides films, ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17, could be synthesized by using the combinatorial approach through surface sol-gel route, coating the appropriate mole ratio of 100 mM zirconium butoxide, tantalum butoxide and titanium butoxide precursors on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrate, following pyrolysis at 450 oC, and annealing them at 770 oC. Both the films and bulks of ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17 showed very stable dielectric properties in temperature range, ?140 to 60 oC, and frequency range, 100 Hz to 1 MHz, promising their applications in wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The dielectric constants of the films were lower and a little more dependent on frequency than those of the bulks. The reduction of dielectric property in the film was mainly due to the interfacial effects that worked as series and parallel-connected capacitances toward the substantial film capacitance.

In this study, the fabrication of PZT films was performed from a multilayer structure comprising $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$ and PbO thin films prepared by rapid themal chemical vapor deposition(RTMOCVD). $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$ and PbO are the component layers of oxide multilayer system for a single phase PZT thin film. The composition control of PZT thin film was done by the thickness control of individual component layer. The composition ratio of Pb:Ti:Zr with thickness were 1:0.94:0.55. Occurrence of a single-phase of PZT was initiated at around $550^{\circ}C$ and almost completed at $750^{\circ}C$ under the fixed time of 1hr. As the concentration of Pb increased, the roughness and crystallization in the film increased. From the as result of using XPS and TEM, the single phase formation through annealing is evident. The electrical properites of the prepared PZT thin film(Zr/Ti=40/60, 300 nm) on a Pt-coated substrate were as follow: dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r=475$, coercive field Ec=320 kV/cm, and remanant polarization $P_r=11{\mu}C/cm^2$ at an applied voltage of 18 V.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PSN-PZT[0.91Pb(Sb$\sub$1/2/Nb$\sub$1/2/)$\sub$0.03/(Zr$\sub$0.495/Ti$\sub$0.505/)$\sub$0.97/O$_3$-0.04Pb(Ni$\sub$1/2/W$\sub$1/2/)O$_3$+0.05BiFeO$_3$+0.3wt％MnO$_2$+0.6wt％CuO〕 ceramics were investigated according to Zr/Ti ratio. As Zr/Ti ratio is increased, electromechanical coupling factor(k$\sub$p/) and dielectric constant increased and then decreased after the ratio of Zr/Ti=50/50. Also, mechanical qualify factor(Q$\sub$m/) decreased and then increased after the ratio of Zr/Ti=50/50.

Electrical properties of $ZrO_2-TiO_2Yb_2O_3$mixed conductor (Ti-YbSZ) were investigated. This mixed conductor can be applied as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures. The total conductivity decreased with increasing the $TiO_2$concentration. At high temperatures, the rate of the conductivity degradation became smaller than that at low temperatures. From the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the total conductivity of Ti-YbSZ, the electronic conductivity increased with increasing $TiO_2$concentration at low oxygen partial pressures and at high temperatures. Both 15 and 20 mol% $TiO_2$doped YbSZ showed high oxygen permeability. Mixed conductors, which has high $TiO_2$concentration in YbSZ, are promising materials for using as a membrane for gas separation at high temperatures.

Titania is widely used as an effective photocatalyst for the photodegradation of environmental pollutants in air. In this study, novel N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were synthesized via sol-gel method and characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer. N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were nano-sized with an average particle size of about 20 nm. The XRD pattern of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts showed both anatase and rutile phases. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was evaluated by degradation of NO under UV and visible light irradiation at various parameters such as amount of photocatalyst, concentration of NO, and intensity of light. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was effective for the enhancement of the degradation of NO and higher than that of $TiO_2$ photocatlysts under UV and visible light irradiation.

A single phase Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 was prepared by the oxalate method from aqueous solution of BaCl2 TiCl4 and ZrOCl2. The structure ananlysis has been carried out by Rietveld analysis method at room temperature. Powder X-ray data of Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 was indexed with the triclinic lattice(a=7.4587 $\AA$ b=14.0672 $\AA$, c=13.3327 $\AA$, $\alpha$=89.87, $\beta$=79.45 ${\gamma}$=84.46) The R (Residual) values of structure refinement were in a range between 10.00 and 8.00 This analysis proved that the added Zr occupied Ti sites in th structure of Ba2Ti9O20. Ba2(Ti8,472Zr0.528)O20 has excellent dielectric properties(dielectric constant K=40.49 at 5.42 GHz Q=4621) so that it can be used as good microwave dielectric materials.
