Titanium dioxide films were prepared by RF sputtering method on glass for various oxygen partial pressures at power 270 W. The crystal structure, photocatalytic property and the hydrophilicity of $TiO_2$thin film the deposition conditions were investigated. Crystallized anatase phase was observed in $TiO_2$film deposited at the ratio of oxygen partial pressure 10% and 20% for 2 hrs. As the increase of deposition time, the grain size and void size of $TiO_2$film have increased and also $V_2$films have been good crystallinity. The ultraviolet-visible light absorption of $TiO_2$films was increased with increasing of deposition time and occured chiefly at the wavelength between 280 and 340 nm. The absorption band was shifted to a longer wave length as deposition time increased. Water contact angle on the X$TiO_2$film of anatase structure was decreased with increasing ultraviolet illumination time and became lower than $11^{\circ}$ from $83^{\circ}$. When hydrophilic $TiO_2$film changed by enough ultraviolet illumination was stored in the dark, the film surface gradually turned to hydrophobic state.

We report three-dimensional polycrystalline anatase TiO2 structures (3D a-TiO2) for environmental and bio-medical applications. The 3D a-TiO2 was synthesized without thermal treatment by the growth of rod-like polycrystals on Degussa P25 (P25) via low temperature (< $85^{\circ}C$) modified alkali hydrothermal processing. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopic results showed that the rod-like polycrystals of 3D a-TiO2 possessed the highly anatase nanostructures. The photocatalytic activity of 3D a-TiO2 was found to be 2.2 times higher than that of P25. The recyclability of the 3D a-TiO2 was found to be high: the decolorization rate was 94.8% of the initial value after fifteen cycles. In addition, 3D a-TiO2 exhibited excellent antibacterial activities for the sterilization of gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Even at the 10th recycled use, more than 98.4% of E. coli and S. aureus can be killed. These results indicated that 3D a-TiO2 might have utility in several promising applications such as photocatalytic water/air purification and bactericidal agents.

$TiO_2$ nanopowder has been synthesized by means of the flame method using a precursor of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP, Ti$(OC_3H_7)_4)$. In order to clarify the effect of cooling rate of hot flame on the formation of $TiO_2$ crystalline phases, the flame was controlled by varying the mixing ratio and the flow rate of gases. Anatase phase was predominantly synthesized under the condition having the steep cooling gradient in flame, while a slow cooling gradient enabled to form almost rutile $TiO_2$ nanopowder of above 95%.

Extremely fine $TiO_2$ powders were synthesized from titanium chloride by the precipitation and freeze drying method. The phase transformation and electrical conductivity were investigated as a function of temperature. X-ray analysis showed that the phase transformation of the synthesized powder from the anatase to rutile occured at 64$0^{\circ}C$ and finished at 92$0^{\circ}C$ due to small particle size and large specific surface area. The activation energy obtained from electrical conductivity vs. temperature was about 1.63eV. This relatively large value was due to porosity in the specimen.

The redox properties of a homogeneously-precipitated $TiO_2$ rutile powder with a BET surface area of ~$200 m^2$/g, consisting of an acicular primary particle, were characterized using photocatalytic reaction in aqueous 4-chlorophenol, Cu-EDTA and Pb-EDTA solutions under ultraviolet irradiation, compared to those of commercial P-25 X$200 m_2$ powder with a spherical primary particle as well as home-made anatase $TiO_2$ powder with ~$200 m^2$/g BET surface area. Here, the anatase powder also includes mainly the primary particles very similar to the acicular shapes of the rutile $TiO_2$ powder. The rutile powder showed the fastest decomposition rate and the largest amount in the photoredor, compared with the anatase or P-25 powder, while the anatase powder unexpectedly showed the slowest rate and the smallest amount in the same experiments regardless of almost the same surface area. From results, the excellent photoredox abilities of this rutile powder appears to be due to specific powder preparation method, like a homogeneous precipitation leading to direct crystallization from the solution, regardless of their crystalline structures even when having the similar particle shape and surface area.

For the production of functional $TiO_2$-biodegradable plastic (polybutylene succinate:PBS) composite material with photocayalytic activity, we attempted to prepare $TiO_2$ coatings on PBS substrate by HVOF and plasma spraying techniques under various conditions. The microstructures of coatings were characterized with SEM and XRD analysis, and the photocatalytic efficiency of coatings was evaluated by the photo degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde. The effects of primary particle size and spraying parameters on the formation behavior, photocatalytic performance of the coatings have been investigated. The results indicated that for both the HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings, the high anatase ratio of 100% can be achieved regardless of fuel gas pressure. On the other hand, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coating exhibited a largely decreased anatase ratio (from 100% to 49.1%) with increasing the fuel gas pressure, which may be attributed to much higher susceptibility of heat for 7 nm agglomerated powder. HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings show better performance as compared to that of plasma sprayed $P_{200}$ coatings owing to the higher anatase ratio. However, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coatings did not show the photocatalytic activity, which may result from the extremely small reaction surface area to the photocatalytic activity and low anatase ratio.

Carbon/$TiO_2$ composites were prepared by $CCl_4$ solvent mixing method with different mixing ratios. Since the carbon layers derived from pitch on the $TiO_2$ particles were porous, the Carbon/$TiO_2$ composite series showed a good adsorptivity and photo decomposition activity. The BET surface area for the carbon layer in the sample increases to increasing with pitch contents. The SEM results present to the characterization of porous texture on the Carbon/$TiO_2$ composite and pitch distributions on the surfaces for all the materials used. From XRD data, a weak and broad carbon peak of graphene with pristine anatase peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for the Carbon/$TiO_2$. The EDX spectra show the presence of C, O and S with strong Ti peaks. Most of these samples are richer in carbon and major Ti metal than any other elements. Finally, the excellent photocatalytic activity of Carbon/$TiO_2$ with slope relationship between relative concentration (C/$C_0$) of MB and t could be attributed to the homogeneous coated pitch on the external surface by $CCl_4$ solvent method.

TiO2는 3가지의 결정구조를 가지고 있으며 결정 입자, 구조, 상의 형태에 따라서 성질 및 기능에 영향을 주고 있다. anatase상의 애너지 밴드갭과 전자와의 재결합 확률이 크기 때문에 Rutile상 보다 우수한 성질을 갖고 있어 산화물 반도체로 이용하는 것이 적합하다. 본 실험에서는 나노로드의 TiO2를 수열처리법에 의해 합성한 후 박막을 제조하여 감응특성을 조사하였다. X선 회절분석기(X-Ray Diffraction)로 분석결과 ph=1의 루타일상을 제외하고, pH=2~7의 더 넓은 구간에서 뚜렷한 회절피크의 anatase 상이 나타났으며 다른 비정질상이 발생되지 않는 결정성이 좋은 단결정임이 나타났다. NaOH solution 을 이용하여 수열처리후 $180^{\circ}C$이상의 특정 온도 구간에서 수십 나노 로드 형태로의 2차 성장된 모습을 TEM과 EDS로 결정구조와 화학조성을 분석하였다. 그리고 BET 측정을 통해 $180^{\circ}C$의 소성온도에서 TiO2 입자의 비표면적이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 나노로드의 수용액을 Al2O3기판의 감지막 위에 떨어뜨려 네트워크된 막을 형성한후에 센서를 제작하였다. 히터 전압이 $400^{\circ}C$에서 나노 파우더센서에서는 반응이 일어나지 않은 반면, 나노 로드센서는 CH3SH에서 28% 의 높은 감도를 얻었고, Toluene의 반응에서는 15%의 감도가 나타났다. 그 외 NO, CO, H2등의 측정에서 아무런 반응이 일어나지 않았다. 이는 비교적 기공이 큰분자(Size)를 가진 CH3SH=76nm, Toluene=60nm에서 반응이 일어난 반면, H2=28nm, CO=22nm에서 감도가 나타나지 않은 것을 보아 흡착분자크기에 의한 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
