  • This study interrogated multi-layer heterojunction anodes were interrogated for potential applications to water treatment. The multi-layer anodes with outer layers of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ and/or $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ onto $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ electrodes were prepared by thermal decomposition and characterized in terms of reactive chlorine species (RCS) generation in 50 mM NaCl solutions. The $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ layer on Ti substrate (Anode 1) primarily served as an electron shuttle. The current efficiency (CE) and energy efficiency (EE) for RCS generation were significantly enhanced by the further coating of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 2) and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 3) layers onto the Anode 1, despite moderate losses in electrical conductivity and active surface area. The CE of the Anode 3 was found to show the highest RCS generation rate, whereas the multi-junction architecture (Anode 4, sequential coating of $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$, $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$, and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$) showed marginal improvement. The microscopic observations indicated that the outer $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ could form a crack-free layer by an incorporation of anatase $TiO_2$ particles, potentially increasing the service life of the anode. The results of this study are expected to broaden the usage of dimensionally stable anodes in water treatment with an enhanced RCS generation and lifetime.

  • The photocatalytic oxidation of Rhodamine B(RhB) was studied using photocatalytic reactor filled with module of quartz tube. Module of quartz tube consisted of small quartz tube (inner diameter, 1.5 mm; outer diameter, 3 mm) bundle coated with powder $TiO_2$ and uncoated large quartz tube (inner diameter, 20 mm; outer diameter, 22 mm). Two 30 W germicidal lamp was used as the light source and the reactor volume was 0.5 l. The effects of parameters such as the coating materials and numbers, initial concentration, $H_{2}O_2$ dose and metal deposition (Ag, Pt and Fe) and simultaneous application of $H_{2}O_2$ and metal deposition. The results showed that the initial reaction constant of quartz module coated with powder $TiO_2$ was higher 1.4 time than that of the $TiO_2$ sol and optimum coating number is twice. In order to increase reaction rate, simultaneous application of photocatalytic and photo-fenton reaction using Fe coating and dose $H_{2}O_2$ dose increased reaction rate largely.

  • In this study, Pb(Zr$_{x}$ Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_{3}$ (x=0.65, 0.52, 0.35) thin films were fabricated by Sol-Gel method. A stock solution with excess Pb 10[mol%] of Pb(Zr$_{x}$ Ti$_{1-x}$ )O$_{3}$ was made and spin-coated on the Pt/SiO$_{2}$/Si substrate at 4000[rpm] for 30[sec.]. Coated specimens were dried on the hot-plate at 400[.deg. C] for 10[min.]. Sintering temperature and time were 500~800[.deg. C] and 1~60[min.]. The coating process was repeated 6 times and the final thickness of the thin films were about 4800[A]. To investigate crystallization condition, PZT thin films were analyzed with sintering temperature, time and composition by the XRD. The microstructure of thin fulms were investigated by SEM. The ferroelectric perovskite phases precipitated under the sintering of 700[.deg. C] for 1 hours. In the PZT(52/48) composition, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were 2133, 2.2[%] at room temperature, respectively.ively.

  • Thin films of Ag-SiO2-TiO2 composite oxides with SiO2/TiO2 of 20/80 molar compositions were prepared by the sol-gel method, using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and titanium isopropoxide (TIP) as precursors. Ag-SiO2-TiO2 films coated on commercial glass substrates have successfully been synthesized using sol-gel method. The Ag-SiO2-TiO2 film with 0.5% Ag-added concentration and 20 mol% SiO2-mixture gives optimal results on crystalline structure, optical property, surface area, and photochromic property. Absorption near the wavelength of the incident light decreased gradually. The reversibility of the two-photon writing process in Ag-SiO2-TiO2 film is clearly seen.
