$Cu_2O$ nano cubes with high catalase activity were synthesized by reduction of freshly prepared Cu in distilled water at $40^{\circC}$ and their catalase activities of $H_2O_2$ were studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation showed that most of these nanocubes were uniform in size, with the average edge length of 30 nm. Selected area electron diffraction of TEM revealed that the nanocube consisted of single crystalline $Cu_2O$, but it changed to CuO phase. The catalase activity depends on the amount of both cuprite phase and surface area.

To find out rational design and synthetic strategies toward efficient hydrogen storage materials, molecular modeling and quantum mechanical studies have been carried out on the MOFs(Metal-Organic Frameworks) having various organic linkers and nanocube frameworks. The calculation results about the free volume ratio, surface area, and electron density variation of the frameworks indicated that the capacity of the hydrogen storage of MOFs was largely dependent on the specific surface area and electron localization around benzene ring rather than the free volume of MOFs. The prediction of the modeling study could be supported by the hydrogen adsorption experiments using IRMOF-1 and -3, which showed more enhanced hydrogen storage capacities of IRMOF-3 compared with the IRMOF-1's at both experimental conditions, 77K, ∠ $H_2$ 1 atm and ambient temperature, ∠ $H_2$ 35 atm.

In this work, highly uniform size-controlled $Cu_2O$ nanocubes can be successfully formed by means of pulse electrodeposition. The size distribution, crystal structure, and chemical state of deposited $Cu_2O$ nanocubes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The phase transition from $Cu_2O$ to Cu can be controlled by constant current electrodeposition as a function of deposition time. In particular, the size of the $Cu_2O$ nanocubes can be controlled using pulse electrodeposition as a function of applied current density.

This paper reports syntheses of $TiO_2$ nanocubes and theirs application to DSSC. We synthesized $TiO_2$ nanocubes via solvothermal method using titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and tetramethylammoiumhydroxide (TMAH). By adding longer alkyl chain ammonium hydroxide that slowed down the growth rate of the crystal, $TiO_2$ nanocubes were obtained with average particle size in the range of 40 nm to 70 nm. By TEM investigation, each particle was found to be single crystal of anatase having six-faces of (001) and {100} crystallographic planes truncated by {101} series of planes, which are clearly distinguishable from spherical nanoparticles. Among various application, utilizing nanocubes as photo-electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell, we investigated photo-electron conversion performances in comparison with spherical shaped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles by I-V characteristics and IPCE measurements, etc.. Photocurrent-transient analysis revealed that $TiO_2$ nanocubes have a higher transient electron transfer rate by more than 10 times compared with spherical particles of similar size. Fast electron transport along the cube edges having small curvature was suggested as a plausible origin of high diffusion coefficient of electron in nanocube $TiO_2$.

$Ni_3[Co(CN)_6]_2$ PBAs의 하소과정을 통해 단분산된 $NiO/NiCo_2O_4$ 나노큐브를 성공적으로 합성했다. 단분산된 $Ni_3[Co(CN)_6]_2$ PBAs 나노큐브는 수열합성 반응 시 생성된 핵 들의 '자기조립'에 의해 형성된다. 이때 입자의 자기조립 속도는 온도와 계면활성제인 SDBS(Sodiumdodecylbenzenesulfonate)의 양에 의해 영향을 받으며, FESEM 분석을 통하여 SDBS: 0.25 g, 온도: $60^{\circ}C$에서 단분산된 200 nm의 PBA 나노큐브들을 얻을 수 있었다. 최적의 하소 조건을 결정하기 위해 Thermogravimetric-Differential Thermal Analysis(TG-DTA)를 통해 열적 거동을 확인하였다. 그리고 PBA 전구체 및 $NiO/NiCo_2O_4$ 입자의 형상과 결정성을 확인하기 위해 Field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM)과 X-ray diffraction(XRD) 분석을 진행하였다.
