The artificial shells of hard inorganic nanocomposites on individual cells would protect the cells physically and chemically, and control cell division. These emerging properties could be combined with cell-surface functionalizations for applications to cell-based sensors and assays as well as for fundamental studies on single-cell biology. In this work, individual Chlorella cells were encapsulated within a silica/titania nanocomposite shell in a biocompatible fashion that utilized a designed peptide, RKKRKKRKKRKKDDDDDDDD, as a catalytic template for formation of both $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ on the cell surface. The cell viability was maintained, and the division of the encapsulated Chlorella cells was controlled. The cell viability was enhanced compared with the $TiO_2$-shell formation. In addition, the incorporation of $TiO_2$ to the shell made it possible to anchor the ligands of interest to the shell via catechol chemistry. All in all, the combination of biological $SiO_2$ and abiolgical $TiO_2$ for the shell formation gave more tunability of the artificial shells compared with the $SiO_2$ or $TiO_2$ shells only.

본 연구에서는 자성을 이용하여 재수득이 가능한 광 촉매 물질인 $ZnFe_2O_4@SnO_2@TiO_2$ core-shell nanoparticles (NPs)를 3단계 과정을 통해 합성하였다. 구조적 특성은 X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석으로 확인하였다. Spinel 구조의 $ZnFe_2O_4$와 tetragonal 구조의 $SnO_2$와 anatase 구조의 $TiO_2$가 합성된 것을 확인하였다. 합성한 물질의 자기적 성질은 vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)으로 확인하였다. Core 물질인 $ZnFe_2O_4$의 포화자화 값은 33.084 emu/g으로 확인하였다. $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$층의 형성의 결과, 두께 증가로 인한 자성은 각각 33, 40% 감소하였으나 재수득이 가능한 충분한 자성을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 합성된 물질의 광 촉매 효율은 methylene blue (MB)를 사용하여 측정하였다. Core 물질의 효율은 4.2%로 확인하였고 $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$ shell 형성의 결과 각각 73%와 96%로 증가하였고 높은 광 촉매 효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 항균 특성은 대장균(E. Coli)과 황색포도상구균(S. Aureus)을 사용하여 억제 영역을 확인하였다. Shell이 형성되면서 더 넓은 억제 영역이 형성되었고 이는 광 촉매 효율을 측정한 결과와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

1D core-shell nanostructures have attracted great attention due to their enhanced physical and chemical properties. Specifically, oriented single-crystalline $TiO_2$ nanorods or nanowires on a transparent conductive substrate would be more desirable as the building core backbone. However, a facile approach to produce such structure-based hybrids is highly demanded. In this study, a three-step hydrothermal method was developed to grow NiMn-layered double hydroxide-decorated $TiO_2$/carbon core-shell nanorod arrays on transparent conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates. XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and Raman were used to analyze the obtained samples. The in-situ fabricated hybrid nanostructured materials are expected to be applicable for photoelectrode working in water splitting.

$BaTiO_3$-coated Fe nanofibers are synthesized via a three-step process. ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanofibers with an average diameter of approximately 200 nm are first prepared using an electrospinning process followed by a calcination step. The $BaTiO_3$ coating layer on the nanofiber is formed by a sol-gel process, and a thermal reduction process is then applied to the core-shell nanofiber to selectively reduce the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ to Fe. The thickness of the $BaTiO_3$ shell is controlled by varying the reaction time. To evaluate the electromagnetic (EM) wave-absorbing abilities of the $BaTiO_3@Fe$ nanofiber, epoxy-based composites containing the nanofibers are fabricated. The composites show excellent EM wave absorption properties where the power loss increases to the high frequency region without any degradation. Our results demonstrate that the $BaTiO_3@Fe$ nanofibers obtained in this work are attractive candidates for electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

We prepared Cu oxides, and Ni and Pd-TiO2@SiO2 core-shellnanostructures, and tested their CO oxidation performances by temperature-programmed mass spectrometry. We found the starting temperatures of CO oxidation are around $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for Ni and Pd-TiO2@SiO2 nanostructures, respectively. Cu oxides are cubes with 50~200 nm with, prepared with different concentrations of NaOH and ascorbic acid. For the core-shell structures, we prepared 100 nm SiO2 spheres, first coated the surface with TiO2 precursor, and then coated with Ni and Pd. Their characteristics are further examined by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscope, FT-IR, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.

To understand the formation of core-shell structure in $BaTiO_3$ (BT) grains in multilayer ceramic capacitors, specimens were prepared with BT powders mixed with Y and Mg, and their microstructures were investigated with scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffractometry, and transmission electron microscopy. Microstructural investigation showed that Y dissolved easily in BT lattice to a certain depth inside of the grain, whereas Mg tended to stay at grain boundaries rather than become incorporated into BT. It was considered that in case of Y and Mg addition in a proper ratio, Y could play a dominant role in the formation of shell leading to a slight dissolution of Mg in the shell. Next, the effects of ball-milling conditions on the core-shell formation were studied. As the ball-milling time increased, the milled powders did not show a significant change in size distribution but rather an increase of residual strain, which was attributed to the milling damage. The increase in milling damage facilitated the shell formation, leading to the increased shell portion in the core-shell grain.

The formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/$TiO_2$-based nanotube (TNTs) composite are investigated. The CNT/TNT composite is synthesized via a solution chemical route. It is confirmed that this 1-D nanotube composite has a core-shell nanotubular structure, where the TNT surrounds the CNT core. The photocatalytic activity investigated based on the methylene blue degradation test is superior to that of with pure TNT. The CNTs play two important roles in enhancing the photocatalytic activity. One is to act as a template to form the core-shell structure while titanate nanosheets are converted into nanotubes. The other is to act as an electron reservoir that facilitates charge separation and electron transfer from the TNT, thus decreasing the electron-hole recombination efficiency.

A simple and quick separation technique for selenite in natural water was developed using $TiO_2$@$SiO_2/Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles. For the synthesis of nanoparticles, a polymer-assisted sol-gel method using hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was developed to control particle dispersion in the synthetic procedure. In addition, titanium butoxide (TBT) precursor, instead of the typical titanium tetra isopropoxide, was used for the formation of the $TiO_2$ shell. The synthesized nanoparticles were used to separate selenite ($Se^{4+}$) in the presence of $Se^{6+}$ or selenium anions for the photocatalytic reduction to $Se^0$ atom on the $TiO_2$ shell, followed by magnetic separation using $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles. The reduction efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction was 81.4% at a UV power of 6W for 3 h with a dark adsorption of 17.5% to the nanoparticles, as determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The developed separation method can be used for the speciation and preconcentration of selenium cations in environmental and biological analysis.

Optical filters to control light wavelength of displays or cameras are fabricated by multi-layer stacking process of low and high index thin films. The process of multi-layer stacking of thin films has received much attention as an optimal process for effective manufacturing in the optical filter industry. However, multi-layer processing has disadvantages of complicated thin film process, and difficulty of precise control of film morphology and material selection, all of which are critical for transmittance and coloring effect on filters. In this study, the composite $TiO_2$, which can be used to control of UV absorption, coated on nano hollow silica sol, was synthesized as a coating material for optical filters. Furthermore, systematic analysis of the process parameters during the chemical reaction, and of the structural properties of the coating solutions was performed using SEM, TEM, XRD and photo spectrometry. From the structural analysis, we found that the 85 nm nano hollow silica with 2.5 nm $TiO_2$ shell formation was successfully synthesized at proper pH control and titanium butoxide content. Photo luminescence characteristics, excited by UV irradiation, show that stable absorption of 350 nm-light, correlated with a 3.54 eV band gap, existed for the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica reacted with 8.8 mole titanium butoxide solution. Transmittance observed on substrate of the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica showed effective absorption of 200-300 nm UV light without deterioration of visible light transparency.
