$Al_2O_3$ has received wide attention with established use as a catalyst and growing application in structural or functional ceramic materials. On the other hand, the boehmite (AlO(OH)) obtained by sol-gel process has exhibited a decrease in surface area during phase transformation due to a decline in surface active site at high temperature. In this work, $Al_2O_3$-CuO/ZnO (ACZ) and $Al_2O_3$-CuO/CeO (ACC) composite materials were synthesized with aluminum isopropoxide, copper (II) nitrate hemi (pentahydrate), and cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate or zinc (II) nitrate hexahydrate. Moreover, the Span 80 as the template block copolymer was added to the ACZ/ACC composition to make nano size particles and to keep increasing the surface area. The ACZ/ACC synthesized powders were characterized by Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Field-Emmision Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Bruner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis and thermal electrical conductivity (ZEM-2:M8/L). An enhancement of surface area with the addition to Span 80 surfactant was observed in the ACZ powders from 105 $m^2$/g to 142 $m^2$/g, and the ACC powders from 103 $m^2$/g to 140 $m^2$/g, respectively.

The physicochemical properties of crystalline titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) were investigated by comparing amorphous (amTiO₂), anatase (aTiO₂), metaphase of anatase-rutile (arTiO₂), and rutile (rTiO₂) NPs, which were prepared at various calcination temperatures (100℃, 400℃, 600℃, and 900℃). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses confirmed that the phase-transformed TiO₂ had the characteristic features of crystallinity and average size. The surface chemical properties of the crystalline phases were different in the spectral analysis. As anatase transformed to the rutile phase, the band of the hydroxyl group at 3,600-3,100 cm^-1 decreased gradually, as assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). For ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra, the maximum absorbance of anatase TiO₂ NPs at 309 nm was blue-shifted to 290 nm at the rutile phase with reduced absorbance. Under the electric field of capillary electrophoresis (CE), TiO₂ NPs in anatase migrated and detected as a broaden peak, whereas the rutile NPs did not. In addition, anatase showed the highest photocatalytic activity in an UV-irradiated dye degradation assay in the following order: aTiO₂ > arTiO₂ > rTiO₂. Overall, the phases of TiO₂ NPs showed characteristic physicochemical properties regarding size, surface chemical properties, UV absorbance, CE migration, and photocatalytic activity.

The sensitivity characteristics of $SnO_2$-based gas sensor prepared by sintering method have been studied at the presence of CO and Propane gas. Samples mixed with 1wt% $La_2O_3$ and 1wt% $PdCl_2$ showed highest sensitivity to CO and propane gas at 250$^{\circ}$C but the addition of $CeO_2$ did not enhance the sensitivity. For slectivity for gas a $SnO_2-La_2O_3$ (1wt%) sample without $PdCl_2$ showed better results. A sample sintered sintered at 115$0^{\circ}C$ has shown the optimum condition in sensitivity and electroding

본 연구는 염화세륨 수용액으로부터 중탄산암모늄의 첨가에 의한 탄산세륨 합성시, 반응 조건(염화세륨 농도: 0.5-2M, 반응온도: $20-60^{\circ}C$)에 따라 형성되는 탄산세륨 결정에 대하여 고찰하였다. 반응성 결정화 과정에서 반응물의 농도 및 반응온도에 따라 lanthanite 형태의 결정상[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}8H_2O$]과 tengerite 형태의 결정상[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}2.5H_2O$] 등 두 형태의 탄산세륨 결정을 얻을 수 있었다. 염화세륨의 농도와 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 탄산세륨의 결정상은 lanthanite에서 tengerite형태로 변하였으며, 함수의 탄산세륨은 건조 조건에 따라 무수의 수산기가 함유된 탄산세륨의 결정상 구조로 전이되었다. Lanthanite와 tengerite 구조의 탄산세륨은 판상의 결정립들이 서로 간에 응집된 상태로서 크기나 형태가 두 결정상 모두 같은 형상을 가지며, 결정립의 크기는 lanthanite구조가 약 $3{\mu}m$, tengerite구조가 약 $5{\mu}m$이었다. 그러나 수산기가 함유된 탄산세륨[$Ce(OH)(CO_3)$]은 침상의 결정립이 응집되어 있는 상태로서 결정립의 크기는 장축이 약 $7{\mu}m$이었으며, 결정수가 함유되어 있는 탄산세륨과 무수의 수산기 함유 탄산세륨의 형상은 서로 다른 형태를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Microstructural and corresponding hardness changes of TiFe compounds with Zr (0~6 at%) or Ce (0~3 at%) were studied using samples prepared at different solidification rates. In arc-melted (TiFe)-Zr samples, the $Fe_{23}$ $Zr_6$ and $(Ti,\;Zr)_2Fe$ phases formed in the TiFe matrix, while in the (TiFe)-Ce sample, the $CeO_2$ phase formed along the grain boundary of the TiFe matrix. As the Zr content was increased, the volume fractions of the $Fe_{23}$ $Zr_6$ and $(Ti,\;Zr)_2Fe$ phases increased, forming a network structure. Accordingly, the hardness values of the samples also increased. With a small addition of Ce of approximately 0.1 at%, the as-cast microstructure could be effectively refined, reducing the average grain boundary diameter from ${\sim}100{\mu}m$ to ${\sim}14{\mu}m$. In the rapidly solidified sample prepared through a melt-spinning method, the constituent phases were identical to those of the arc-melted samples while the grains were refined. The microstructural changes of TiFe alloys can affect the hydrogen storage ability as well as the mobility of the hydrogen atoms in the alloys.

In this work, we studied a fluorite structure oxides: Yttria stabilized zirconia, (YSZ); Gd doped $CeO_2$ (GDC); erbia stabilized $Bi_2O_3$ (ESB); Zr doped erbia stabilized $Bi_2O_3$ (ZESB); Ca doped erbia stabilized $Bi_2O_3$ (CESB) in the temperature range of 250 to $600^{\circ}C$ using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). As is well known, grain boundary blocking effect was observed in YSZ and GDC. However, there is no grain boundary effect on ESB, ZESB, and CESB. The Nyquist plots of these materials exhibit a single arc at low temperature. This means that there is no space charge effect on ${\delta}-Bi_2O_3$. In addition, impedance data were analyzed by using the brick layer model. We indirectly demonstrate that grain boundary ionic conductivity is similar to or even higher than bulk ionic conductivity on cubic bismuth oxide.

The degradation phenomena and thermal stability of 2.5Y-TZP at low-temperature were studied by means of XRD, Raman spectra and microstructural analysis. The degradation of heat-treated 2.5Y-TZP at 20$0^{\circ}C$-20hr in air was observed on the TZP surface, be caused by the cracks generated from tlongrightarrowm transformation, and the cracks was propagated inside the polycrystalline body. The ZrO2 grain boundaries and grains near the crack were revealed as if these were diffused and dissolved. And it was also observed mlongrightarrowt transformation as the degraded TZP was refired at 140$0^{\circ}C$, and it was thought to be the fact that the moisture in atmosphere during the aging process contributed to the degradation. The thermal stability of 2.5Y-TZP was improved dramatically with an addition of 3w/o CeO2 or a provision of high Y2O3 concentration on the TZP surface.

무기안료는 우수한 열적, 화학적 안정성으로 인해 페인트, 고화도 세라믹 잉크, 아트 타일, 건물의 외장재 등의 다양한 응용 분야에 적용될 수 있어 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 기존에는 $PbCrO_4$, CdS, CdSe 등의 조성이 노란색 무기 안료로 널리 사용되어 왔으나 Cd, Cr, Pb, Se 같은 유해물질을 포함하고 있어 최근에는 사용에 제한되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ceria 기반의 조성을 이용하여 고상법으로 친환경 노란색 무기안료를 합성하였다. XRD와 SEM을 통해 합성된 $Ce_{1-x}Zr_xBi_yO_{2-y/2}$ 노란색 무기안료의 결정구조와 형상을 확인하였고, UV-vis. spectrophotometer와 CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ 분석으로 Zr과 Bi함량에 따른 노란색 무기안료의 발색 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 노란색 무기안료의 결정구조는 주로 하소온도의 변화에 의존하는 것으로 확인되었고, 발색 특성과 흡수단은 하소온도와 Zr, Bi 함량이 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 합성된 모든 무기안료는 자외선과 500 nm 이하의 가시광선을 효율적으로 흡수하였고, $Ce_{0.44}Zr_{0.36}Bi_{0.20}O_{0.19}$(x = 0.36, y = 0.20) 조성의 무기안료에서 가장 선명한 노란색 색조를 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: The conventional cerium-doped Gd₂Al₂Ga₃O₁₂ (GAGG(Ce)) scintillator-based gamma-ray imager has a bulky detector, which can lead to incorrect positioning of the gammaray source if the shielding against background radiation is not appropriately designed. In addition, portability is important in complex environments such as inside nuclear power plants, yet existing gamma-ray imager based on a tungsten mask tends to be weighty and therefore difficult to handle. Motivated by the need to develop a system that is not sensitive to background radiation and is portable, we changed the material of the scintillator and the coded aperture. Materials and Methods: The existing GAGG(Ce) was replaced with Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO), a scintillator with high gamma-ray detection efficiency but low energy resolution, and replaced the tungsten (W) used in the existing coded aperture with lead (Pb). Each BGO scintillator is pixelated with 144 elements (12 × 12), and each pixel has an area of 4 mm × 4 mm and the scintillator thickness ranges from 5 to 20 mm (5, 10, and 20 mm). A coded aperture consisting of Pb with a thickness of 20 mm was applied to the BGO scintillators of all thicknesses. Results and Discussion: Spectroscopic characterization, imaging performance, and image quality evaluation revealed the 10 mm-thick BGO scintillators enabled the portable gamma-ray imager to deliver optimal performance. Although its performance is slightly inferior to that of existing GAGG(Ce)-based gamma-ray imager, the results confirmed that the manufacturing cost and the system's overall weight can be reduced. Conclusion: Despite the spectral characteristics, imaging system performance, and image quality is slightly lower than that of GAGG(Ce), the results show that BGO scintillators are preferable for gamma-ray imaging systems in terms of cost and ease of deployment, and the proposed design is well worth applying to systems intended for use in areas that do not require high precision.
