Au-functionalized $WO_3$ nanotubes were synthesized using ZnO nanowire templates. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the Au nanoparticles on the outer surface of a typical $WO_3$ nanotube ranged from 5 to 25 nm. The multiple networked Au-functionalized $WO_3$ nanotube sensors showed responses of 820-3, 924% in the $NO_2$ concentration range of 1-5 ppm at $300^{\circ}C$. These responses were approximately 5-12 fold higher than those observed for pristine $WO_3$ nanotube sensors over the same $NO_2$ concentration range. A model describing the gas sensing mechanism of Au-functionalized $WO_3$ nanotubes is discussed.

The use of cellulose papers has recently attracted much attention in various device applications owing to their natural advantageous properties of earth's abundance, bio-friendly, large-scale production, and flexibility. Conventional metal oxides with novel structures of nanorods, nanospindles, nanowires and nanobelts are being developed for emerging electronic and chemical sensing applications. In this work, both ZnO (n-type) nanorod arrays (NRAs) and CuO (p-type) nanospindles (NSs) were synthesized on cellulose papers and the p-n junction property was investigated using the electrode of indium tin oxide coated polyethylene terephthalate film. To synthesize ZnO and CuO nanostructures on cellulose paper, a simple and facile hydrothermal method was utilized. First, the CuO NSs were synthesized on cellulose paper by a simple soaking process, yielding the well adhered CuO NSs on cellulose paper. After that, the ZnO NRAs were grown on CuO NSs/cellulose paper via a facile hydrothermal route. The as-grown ZnO/CuO NSs on cellulose paper exhibited good crystalline and optical properties. The fabricated p-n junction device showed the I-V characteristics with a rectifying behaviour.

We report on the fabrication and characterization of self- and artificially-controlled ZnO nanostructures have been investigated to establish nanostructure blocks for ZnO-based nanoscale device application. Systematic realization of self- and artificially-controlled ZnO nanostructures on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates was proposed and successfully demonstrated utilizing metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in addition with a focused ion beam (FIB) technique. Widely well-aligned two-dimensional ZnO nanodot arrays ($4{\sim}10^4$ nanodots of 130-nm diameter and 9-nm height over $150{\sim}150{\mu}m^2$ with a period of 750 nm) have been realized by MOCVD on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates patterned by FIB. A low-magnification FIB nanopatterning mode allowed the periodical nanopatterning of the substrates over a large area in a short processing time. Ga atoms incorporated into the surface areas of FIB-patterned nanoholes during FIB engraving were found to play an important role in the artificial control of ZnO, resulting in the production of ZnO nanodot arrays on the FIB-nanopatterned areas. The nanodots evolved into dot clusters and rods with increasing MOCVD growth time.

염료-감응형 태양전지 응용을 위하여 $TiO_2$ nanorods를 autoclave를 이용하여 FTO 기판위에 수열합성법으로 합성 하였다. $TiO_2$ nanorods는 증류수와 염산, Titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP) 전구체의 혼합 용액을 이용하여, $150-200^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 합성하였다. 합성된 $TiO_2$ nanorods의 두께와 길이, 밀도는 성장시간과 성장온도, 전구체의 양, 염산과 증류수의 비율 등의 성자조건 변화를 통하여 조절하였다. $TiO_2$ nanorods의 결정성과 표면형태를 관찰하기 위해 XRD, SEM 그리고 TEM을 이용하였으며, 광학적 특성을 관찰하기 위해서 UV-Vis을 측정하였다. 합성된 $TiO_2$ nanorods 형태는 수직으로 서장된 단결정 구조의 rutile 상으로 관찰되었으며, 길이는 약 $4-6{\mu}m$로 관찰되었다. 고온($200^{\circ}C$)에서 짧은 시간동안 성장시킨 $TiO_2$ nanorods가 태양전지에 응용이 유용한 샘플로 성장되었다. 또한, 반응시간과 전구체의 양이 증가할수록 $TiO_2$ nanorods의 밀도가 증가하였다.

The effect of precursor concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of $TiO_2$nano-flowers was investigated in this study. An increase in crystallite size was observed with an increase in the concentration of the precursor (titanium butoxide). The FE-SEM micrographs of the as-prepared samples show a three-dimensional flower-like morphology. The flowers consist of several nanorods coming out of a single core and have very sharp edges. Also, the variation in the aspect ratio of the nanostructure was observed with the concentration of the precursor. The photocatalytic properties of the samples show that the sample that has a high aspect ratio (AR~9) has a much better photocatalytic activity compared to the nano-crystal with a low aspect ratio (AR~6.1). It is believed that the excellent photocatalytic performance and short time synthesis of $TiO_2$nano-flowers using the microwave hydrothermal method can have potential applications in the field of photocatalysis.

The nano-array of the vertically aligned rod-like particles grown on ZnO coated glass-substrates was obtained via hydrothermal process. ZnO thin film coatings were prepared on the glass substrates using a MOD (metallorganic deposition) dip-coating method with zinc chloride dihydrate as starting material and 2-ethylhexanol as solvent. ZnO nanorods were synthesized on the seeded substrates by hydrothermal method at $80^{\circ}C$ using zinc-nitrate hexahydrate as a Zn source and sodium hydroxide as a mineralizer. Under the hydrothermal condition, the rod-like nanocrystals were easily attaching on the already ZnO seeded (coated) glass surface. It has been shown that the hydrothermal synthesis parameters are key factors in the nucleation and growth of ZnO crystallites. By controlling of hydrothermal parameters, the ZnO particulate morphology could be easily tailored. Rod-shaped ZnO arrays on the glass substrates consisted of elongated crystals having 6-fold symmetry were predominantly developed at high Zn precursor concentration in the pH range 7~11.

MoO₃ metal oxide nanostructure was formed by hydrothermal synthesis, and a perovskite solar cell with an MoO₃ hole transfer layer was fabricated and evaluated. The characteristics of the MoO₃ thin film were analyzed according to the change of hydrothermal synthesis temperature in the range of 100 ℃ to 200 ℃ and mass ratio of AMT : nitric acid of 1 : 3 ~ 15 wt%. The influence on the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell was evaluated. Nanorod-shaped MoO₃ thin films were formed in the temperature range of 150 ℃ to 200 ℃, and the chemical bonding and crystal structure of the thin films were analyzed. As the amount of nitric acid added increased, the thickness of the thin film decreased. As the thickness of the hole transfer layer decreased, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell improved. The maximum photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell having an MoO₃ thin film was 4.69 % when the conditions of hydrothermal synthesis were 150 ℃ and mass ratio of AMT : nitric acid of 1 : 12 wt%.

Supercapacitor is a capacitor with extraordinarily high energy density, which basically consists of current collector, active material and electrolyte. Ruthenium oxide ($RuO_2$) is one of the most widely studied active materials due to its high specific capacitance and good electrical conductivity. In general, it is known that the coating of $RuO_2$ on nanoarchitectured current collector shows improved performance of energy storage device compared to the coating on the planar current collector. Especially, the surface structure with standing coaxial nanopillars are most desirable since it can provide direct paths for efficient charge transport along the axial paths of each nanopillars and the inter-nanopillar spacing allows easy access of electrolyte ions. However, well-known fabrication methods for metal or metal oxide nanopillars, such as the process using anodize aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, often require long and complicated nanoprocess.In this work, we developed relatively simple method fabricating indium tin oxide (ITO) nanopillars via sputtering. We also electrodeposited $RuO_2$ nanoparticles onto these ITO nanopillars and investigated its physical and electrochemical properties.

Potassium hexatitanate ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$) with high thermal insulating capacity, good mechanical properties, and excellent chemical stability are promising functional materials in the field of reinforcing material, heat insulating paints and automotive brake linings. In this study, we successfully synthesized rod-shaped potassium hexatitanate ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$) by aerosol spray drying and post heat treatment as an eco-friendly process. The $KHCO_3-TiO_2$ porous particles were firstly synthesized from a colloidal mixture of $K_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ via aerosol spray drying. Size of $KHCO_3-TiO_2$ porous particles was ranged from $1{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$. The porous particles were then heated to fabricate rod-type $K_2Ti_6O_{13}$. The length and width of rod-type composites were affected by temperature and heating time. The length and width of $K_2Ti_6O_{13}$ were increased by 830 nm and 500 nm, respectively, as the reaction temperature and time increased.

This paper proposes a compact, energy-efficient, and smart gas sensor platform technology for ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applications. The compact design of the platform is realized by employing silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The sensing element is fully integrated with SOI CMOS circuits for signal processing and communication. Also, the micro-hotplate operates at high temperatures with extremely low power consumption, which is important for USN applications. ZnO nanowires are synthesized onto the micro-hotplate by a simple hydrothermal process and are patterned by a lift-off to form the gas sensor. The sensor was operated at $200^{\circ}C$ and showed a good response to 100 ppb $NO_2$ gas.
