$Ni_{0.2}V_2O_5$ aerogel (ARG) was synthesized via the sol gel method and has been studied with an emphasis on the characterization of its electrochemical properties. ARG appear to be amorphous layered material. Electron micrograph revealed that entangled fibrous textures has been grown to form anisotropic corrugated sheets. Several sites for the Li ion intercalation exist between the layers of ARG and average cell potential was 3.1 V vs $Li/Li^+$ Th charge transfer resistance increases 3 to 4 times as lithium composition increases, but the interphase resistance remains almost constant regardless of the lithium composition in thc ARG.

This research was studied to optimize the recipe of rice pound cake with two concentrations of Euonymus alatus and grape seed oil, using central composite design (CCD). The mixing condition of rice pound cake was optimized by subjecting it to sensory evaluation and mechanical and physicochemical analysis, using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of the mechanical and physicochemical analysis showed significant values for color (lightness, redness, yellowness), texture (hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness), loss rate, volume, specific volume, sweetness, saltiness, moisture content and pH (p<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation showed significant values for color, flavor, taste, softness, appearance and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimized compounding ratio was found to be 4.28 g of Euonymus alatus and 33.18 g of grape seed oil.

Slurry sol(30at% anatase TiO$_2$)을 이용하여 스핀코팅으로 유리기판에 TiO$_2$박막을 제조하였다. 박막의 두께는 코팅주기의 횟수로 조절하였다. 한 코팅주기는 스핀코팅, 건조, 열처리를 포함한다. 박막의 반응성은 막 위에서의 자외선강도가 0.4mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 조건에서 벤젠기체의 광분해 속도를 통해 조사하였다. 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 표면적인 증가로 인해 반응성은 증가하였으며, 4$\mu\textrm{m}$정도이상의 두께에서 반응성은 더 이상 증가되지 않았다. porous한 TiO$_2$박막은 비교적 넓은 유효 표면적을 가지고 있으며, 그것은 두께증가에 따라 반응속도를 결정하는 결과를 낳았다.

Ferroelectric $Bi_{3.35}Sm_{0.65}Ti_3O_{12}(BST)$ thin films were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by a sol-gel spin-coating process. In this experiments, $Bi(TMHD)_3$, $Sm_5(O^iPr)_{13}$, $Ti(O^iPr)_4$ were used as precursors, which were dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol. Thereafter, the thin films with the thickness, of 240nm were annealed from 600 to $720^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr, and post-annealed in oxygen atmosphere for 1 hr after deposition of Pt electrode to enhance the electrical properties. The remanent polarization and coercive voltage of the BST thin films annealed at $720^{\circ}C$ were $19.48\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and 3.40 V, respectively, and a fatigue-free characteristics. As a result, Sm-substituted bismuth titanate films with good ferroelectric properties and excellent fatigue resistance are useful candidates for ferroelectric memory applications.

Nano-size Au particle doped $TiO_2$ films were prepared with $Ti(OC_3H_7^i)_4$, polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP), $HAuCl_4$ and $C_3H_7OH$ etc. by sol-gel method. $TiO_2$ gel films were obtained by the dip-coating method on the $SiO_2$ glass substrates, and then heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The thickness of $TiO_2$ films were $0.7\~1.8\;{\mu}m$. It was found that the thickness of films prepared from PVP containing solution was about $2\~8$ times higher values than that of thin films without PVP. The size of Au particles doped in the films were about $350\~750\;nm$. Nano-size Au particle dispersed $TiO_2$ films showed high absorption peak at visible region 450nm, which made them good candidates for non-linear optical materials and photo-catalytic materials. The contact angle of $TiO_2$ film for water was $12.5^{\circ}$, and therefore it is clear that $TiO_2$ films have very high hydrophilic properties and the self-cleaning effects.

Different weight percentages of Ag, Pt, and Au doped nano $TiO_2$ were synthesized using the acetic acid hydrolyzed sol-gel method. The crystallite phase, surface morphology combined with elemental composition and light absorption properties of the doped nano $TiO_2$ were comprehensively examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ sorption analysis, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray, and DRS UV-vis analysis. The doping of noble metals stabilized the anatase phase, without conversion to rutile phase. The formation of gold nano particles in Au doped nano $TiO_2$ was confirmed from the XRD patterns for gold. The specific surface area was found to be in the range 50 to 85 $m^2$/g. TEM images confirmed the formation a hexagonal plate like morphology of nano $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic activity of doped nano $TiO_2$ was evaluated using 4-chlorophenol as the model pollutant. Au doped (0.5 wt %) nano $TiO_2$ was found to exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than the other noble metal doped nano $TiO_2$, pure nano $TiO_2$ and commercial $TiO_2$ (Degussa P-25). This enhanced photocatalytic activity was due to the cathodic influence of gold in suppressing the electron-hole recombination during the reaction.

The effect of electron beam (EB) irradiation on the electrical properties of Zn-Sn-O (ZTO) thin films fabricated using a sol-gel process was investigated. As the EB dose increased, the saturation mobility of ZTO thin film transistors (TFTs) was found to slightly decrease, and the subthreshold swing and on/off ratio degenerated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level showed that the relative area of oxygen vacancies ($V_O$) increased from 10.35 to 12.56 % as the EB dose increased from 0 to $7.5{\times}10^{16}electrons/cm^2$. Also, spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis showed that the optical band gap varied from 3.53 to 3.96 eV with increasing EB dose. From the results of the electrical property and XPS analyses of the ZTO TFTs, it was found that the electrical characteristic of the ZTO thin films changed from semiconductor to conductor with increasing EB dose. It is thought that the electrical property change is due to the formation of defect sites like oxygen vacancies.

The photodegradation efficiency of formic acid on $TiO_2$ photocatalytic membranes was investigated. A new titania membrane reactors for purification of water combining microfiltration with photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds were developed. Titania membrane tubes(average pore size of $0.2\mu m$) were prepared by the slip casting, and porous thin films of $TiO_2$ were formed on the tube surface by the sol-gel process to increase the surface area, and consequently to increase photodegradation efficiency of organic compounds. The UV light with the wavelength of 365 nm was used as a light source for photocatalytic reactions. The photodegradation efficiency of the organic compounds was strongly dependent on the flux of the solution, the microstructure of the membrane (sol pH), and the amount of $O_2$ supplied. The effects of the primary oxidant such as $H_2O_2$ and dopants such as $Nb_2O_5$ on the photodegradation efficiency were also investigated. The results showed that more than 80% of formic acid could be degraded using membrane coated with a $TiO_2$ sol of pH 1.45. The photodegradation efficiency could be improved by about 20% when adding $H_2O_2$ in feed solution or doping $TiO_2$ membranes with $Fe_2O_3$.

The powders of L $a_{0.8}$C $a_{0.2}$Mn $O_3$ Colossal Magnetoresistance (CMR) materials were synthesized by sol-gel process. Lanthanum(H), Calcium(II) and Manganese(III) 2,4-Pentanedionate were dissolved in a mixed binary solution consisted of propionic acid and methanol with PEG (15 wt%) aqueous solution. The progress of reactions was monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. The Lao scao.2Mn03 gel powders were annealed at various temperatures. The structural changes were investigated by FT-IR, CP/MAS $^{ 13}$C solid state NMR spectroscopy and XRD. The thermochemical property, particle characterization, microstructure of sintered sample, and cation composition of gel powder were studied by TG/DTA, FE-SEM and ICP-AES. The magnetic characterizations were identified through measurement of magnetic moment by VSM.

The dense sintered bodies with >95% theoretical densities were successfully obtained from the $BaZrO_3,\;BaCeO_3,\;Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution, and core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite powders prepared by sol-gel methods. The activation energy of $Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution calculated from the Arrhenius plot of the proton conductivities was similar to that of $BaZrO_3$. The activation energy of core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite, however, was much lower than that of $BaZrO_3$ or $Ba(Zr_{0.7}Ce_{0.3})O_3$ solid solution, and was very similar to that $BaCeO_3$. These results could be assigned to the Ce-rich grain boundary which was clearly observed by EDX in core-shell structured $0.7BaZrO_3-0.3BaCeO_3$ composite.
