Urea solution as a reductant of SCR has been widely used to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engine. But it has lots of problems which are freezing at low temperature due to liquid state, deposition of solid formation in the exhaust, dosing device, and complex package such as mixers for uniform concentration of ammonia. In order to overcome these obstacle, ammonium carbonate which is one of solid ammonium materials to produce ammonia gas directly by sublimation process is considered. Simple reactor with visible widow was designed to predict equilibrium temperature and pressure of ammonium carbonate. To simulate real operation conditions under automobile environment, several cycles of heating and cooling condition were settled, two different re-solidification materials were extracted from the reactor and visible window. Analytical study is performed to characterize these unknown materials by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and EA(Elemental Analyzer). From analytical results, re-solidification materials from heating and cooling cycles are very similar to original material of ammonium carbonate.

The fine particles of binary ceramic composite of titania-partially-stabilized zirconia(TPSZ) were synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at the various temperatures, compositions and concentrations and the effects of process factors for synthesis on the characteristics of fine particles were discussed. The starting salt solutions were prepared to have the ionic concentrations of 0.025~0.1 M aqueous solutions. The fine particles were prepared to have the compositions of 90~97.5 wt% of $ZrO_2$ and 2.5~10 wt% of $TiO_2$. The temperatures for particle synthesis were regulated to be 400~550$^{\circ}C$ as a drying zone, 800~1100$^{\circ}C$ as a pyrolysis zone. The produced fine particles were collected by a wet process and analyzed to investigate characteristic properties after being dried. The compositions of ceramic fine particles were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy(ICP-AES) technique and phases, morphologies and particle sizes of those were investigated by Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) and Particle Size Analyzer(PSA) techniques.

There are many methods to improve the performance of concrete. Especially, admixture materials used in concrete as the replacement materials of cement, could fluidity, strength and durability of concrete. So recently, the terminology "High-Performance Concrete(HPC)" has been introduced into the construction industry. Most hige-performance concrete have a high cementitious content and a low water-cementitious material ratio. The proportions of the individual constituent vary depending on lacal preferences and local materials. Therefore, many trial batches are usually necessary before a successful mix is developed. The objective of this experiments is to investigate the fundamental properties of high performance concrete based binary cimentitious materials such as ordinary portland cement and ground granulated blast furnace slag. In this study, Use granulated blast furnace slag (30%, 45%, 60%) and water cementitious content (26%, 30%, 34%) take the gauge of capacity that strength, carbonation and XRD, X-Ray Diffraction test

It is essential that concrete component is made up with aggregate, cement and water. But today, Public concern is increasing of a variety structure and ocean environmental, resource recycle. Also, According to heat of hydration rising, Concrete is make a causative of concrete-crack. Concrete-crack cause a falling-off in quality of concrete. consequently, High-performance concrete is evaluated by concrete material properties and carbonation resistance with different admixture(fixing fly-ash 20%), granulated blast furnace slag replacement ratio (30%, 45%) different W/B (26%, 30%, 34%) and XRD(X-ray Diffraction) analysis.

Polyaniline/$SiO_2$ catalyzed one-pot mannich reaction of acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines are carried out in ethanol to afford various ${\beta}$-amino ketones. The various wt% of polyaniline were supported on pure silica synthesized by using chemical oxidative method. The catalyst prepared has been characterized by means of thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Solvent stability of catalyst was tested using UV-Visible spectroscopy. This protocol has several advantages such as high yield, simple work up procedure, non-toxic, clean, easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst.

Zirconium oxide ($ZrO_2$) nano porous membranes were fabricated by electrochemical two-step anodization with an electropolished zirconium substrate in inorganic water-based and organic electrolyte systems containing small amounts of fluoride. Using two-step anodization and organic electrolytes, highly regular and ordered nanotubular $ZrO_2$ oxide layers can be compared with aqueous electrolytes. The morphology and size of the nano porous layers were characterized by FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy). Luminescence properties were investigated by photoluminescence measurements.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods arrays were deposited on ZnO buffered p-Si(100) substrates by hydrothermal method. The ZnO buffer layer with a thickness of 30 nm was deposited by metal oxide chemical vapor deposition at $500^{\circ}C$. The structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods arrays controlled by precursor concentrations from 0.06 to 0.5 M were studied by FE-SEM(field emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), and PL(photoluminescence), respectively. It was found that the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanorods arrays are changed significantly with increase of precursor concentration. The sizes of diameter and length of nanorods were increased as the concentration increase, and good optical property was shown with the concentration of 0.3 M.

The structural and electrochemical properties of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ ($Fd{\bar{3}}m$, disordered spinel) cathode material were studied and compared with stoichiometric $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ ($P4_332$, ordered spinel). First cycle discharge capacity of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ was similar to that of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ at C/3 and 1C rate, but cycling performance of $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ was better than that of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ especially at high rate of 1C. This can be explained by performing synchrotron based in-situ XRD and results of GITT measurements. It is considered that faster lithium ion diffusion in the $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ cathode results in the improvement of the rate capability. To study structural changes during cycling, synchrotron in-situ XRD patterns of both the samples were recorded at C/3 and 1C rate. Compared to stoichiometric $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$, disordered $Li_{0.99}Ni_{0.46}Mn_{1.56}O_4$ spinel sample has pseudo one phase behavior and one step phase transition between two cubic phases. So, $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ would experience a much greater strain and stress, originating from the two phase transitions between three cubic phases and suffer from capacity loss during cycling especially at high rate.

N- or O-doped STS304 stainless films were synthesized by an unbalanced magnetron sputtering process with various argon and reactive gas ($N_2$, $O_2$) mixtures. These films were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and Knoop microhardness tester. The Results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that a STS304 stainless steel film synthesized without reactive gas using a bulk STS304 stainless steel target had a ferrite bcc structure ($\alpha$ phase), while the N-doped STS304 stainless film was consisted of a nitrogen supersaturated fcc structure, which hsa a strong ${\gamma}$(200) phase. In the O-doped films, oxide Phases ($Fe_2$$O_3$ and $Cr_2$$O_3$) were observed from the films synthesized under an excess $O_2$ flow rate of 9sccm. AES analysis showed that nitrogen content in N-doped films increased as the nitrogen flow rate increased. Approximately 43 at.%N in the N-doped film was measured using a nitrogen flow rate of 8sccm. In O-doped film, approximately 15 at.%O was detected using a $O_2$ flow rate of 12sccm. the Knoop microhardness value of N-doped film using a nitrogen flow rate of 8 sccm was measured to be approximately $H_{ k}$ 1200 and this high value could be attributed to the fine grain size and increased residual stress in the N-doped film.
