While sintering the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3-BaTiO3 system through solid-reaction route, pyrochlore(Pb3Nb4O13) phase while reduces the dielectric constant is inevitably formed. Substitution of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 with PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 can retard the occurrence of pyrochlore phase. The perovskite solid-solution without containing pyrochlore phase can be obtained when we consolidated the materials consisting of PbTiO3 and BaTiO3 at 1200℃ for 2 hours. The sintered body composed of 0.8Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.1PbTiO3-0.1BaTiO3 composition showed the diffused phase transition(DPT) phenomena and the maximum value of dielectric constant at 0℃ (Tc') with the value of 1.3×104.

Disinfection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in drinking water was investigated by using $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2$ based photocatalyst prepared by sol-gel method. The disinfection test was carried out in an annular flow reactor with circulating sterile water containing the photocatalysts powder under UV-A irradiation. The disinfection activity was proportional to the anatase`s intensity of crystalline peak of the $TiO_2$ photocatalysts. 100% disinfection of E.coli without endotoxin was achieved with $TiO_2$ coated photocatalytic system under UV-A irradiation within 2 h. However, toxic endotoxine was exist in the disinfection of E.colithe under UV-C irradiation even though 100% disinfection of E.colithe within 30 min, which suggest that $TiO_2$ coated photocatalytic system with UV-A is useful tool for the disinfection of E.coli in drinking water.

Microwave characteristics of the system (1-X) ${Na}_{1/2}{Sm}_{1/2}TiO_3$[NST]-X ${Li}_{1/2}{Nd}_{1/2}TiO_3$[LNT] were investigated. The dielectric constant and unloaded Q were 86,1950 respectively for NST at 3GHz and 80,500 for LNT. 0.4 NST - 0.6 LNT system has the dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}r$=86.2, Q=930(3GHz), temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency ${\tau}f$ = 8 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ when sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 2h.

A porous $TiO_2$ pellet was electrochemically converted to the metallic titanium by using a $CaCl_2$ molten salt system at $850^{\circ}C$. Ni-$TiO_2$ and graphite electrodes were used as cathode and anode, respectively. The electrochemical behaviour of $TiO_2$ pellet was determined by a constant voltage control electrolysis. Various reaction intermediates such as $CaTiO_3$, $Ti_2O$ and $Ti_6O$ were observed by XRD analysis during electrolysis of the pellet. Once $TiO_2$ pellet was converted to a porous metallic structure, the porous structure disappeared by sintering and shrinking with increasing the reaction time at high temperature.

The LNT ceramics which has the large negative temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ($\tau_1$) were manufactured by varying the $TiO_2$ contents. The effects of secondary phase $TiO_2$ which was caused by excess $TiO_2$ on the microstructure, phase transformations and microwave dielectric properties in ($Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2}$)$TiO_3$ binary system were studied by X-ray and SEM. In case of adding up to 5 mol% $TiO_2$ on LNT, the liquid phase $TiO_2$which was created in the grain boundary of LNT not only increased the bulk density but also caused the nonhomogeneous structure of LNT which reduced the microwave dielectric characteristics. But the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was improved by the 10 mol% addition of $TiO_2$.

In the area of artificial photosynthesis, particularly for the generation of hydrogen form water, much attention has been paid on organic-inorganic hybrid system. Most of all, a dye/TiO2-combined system has been suggested and its potential utility was well manifested. However, due to its complicated nature of charge interactions in between dye and TiO2 -interface there remains a great challenge to establish the charge-activity relationship, per se light driven charge generation and recombination kinetics with respect to the amount of hydrogen produced. Further complexity of that hybrid system has been witnessed when sacrificial donor and aqueous media are considered. To unveil the operating mechanism on such a dye/TiO2-combined system, we have prepared organic dyes suitable to account for the effect of sacrificial donor as well as water interactions, and prepared the typical dye-grafted TiO2 films to investigate charge-activity relationship. Femtosecond flash photolysis clearly defined the dye effects anchored on to the TiO2 platform. In addition, photodynamic data contemplated well to the dye orientation proposed by the DFT calculations. Recent findings provide fundamental understanding on the dye-grafted TiO2 system and establish a firm background how future dye-sensitized organic-inorganic hybrid system can be designed for the light driven hydrogen generation from water.

Microwave(2.45 GHz) was used as energy source in hydrothermal reaction to fabricate ultrafine BaTiO3 powder. Using microwave of 700 W, crytal BaTiO3 began to fom after 5 min in microwave-autoclave sys-tem. The crystallinity was not noticeably increased with increasing longer reaction time than 10 min. On the other hand in microwave-reflux system crytal BaTiO3 began to form after 15min and the crystallinity was not noticeably increased with increasing longer reaction time than 1hr,. In either case particle size dis-tribution was considerably uniform due to the effect of homogeneous heating by microwave. In addition mi-crowave heating gave an extremely small degree of particle agglomeration compared to electric heating. Av-erage sizes of as-synthesized powders were 30-60nm. Ba/Ti ratio in sol played an important role in det-ermining the particle size. It seems that excess barium forms different phases such as Ba(OH)2 which makes thin layer on the surface of BaTiO3 powder. This thin layer would inhibit the agglomeration of Ba-TiO3 powders and keep the small grain size. In microwave-autoclave system tetragonal-BaTiO3 was formed directly by the reaction of only 15 min. In the case of microwave-reflux system tetragonal-BaTiO3 was formed by driyng over 25$0^{\circ}C$.

Nano-sized $TiO_2$-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide and $Sr(OH)_2\;{\cdot}\;8H_2O$ as precursors. 3, -5, -7 wt%Ag spot-coated $TiO_2$-60 wt% SrO composite powders were synthesized by a Ag electroless deposition method using $TiO_2$-60 wt% SrO composite powders calcined at $1050^{\circ}C$, which mainly exhibited the $SrTiO_3$phase. However, a small number of rutile $TiO_2$, $Sr_2TiO_4$ and $SrO_2$ phases were also detected. In the Ag spot-coated powders synthesized by electroless deposition, nano-sized particles about 5-25 nm in diameter adhered to the $TiO_2$-60 wt% SrO composite powders. The photocatalytic activity of Ag spot-coated $TiO_2$-SrO and $TiO_2$-SrO composite powders for degradation of phenol showed that all of $TiO_2$-SrO composite powders were highly active under UV light irradiation. 7 wt%Ag spot-coated $TiO_2$-60wt.%SrO composite powders had a relatively higher photocatalytic activity than did $TiO_2$-SrO composite powders under visible light.

The effects of sintering additives such as $Bi_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ on the microwave dielectric and sintering properties of (Zn, Mg)$TiO_3$ system were investigated. Highly dense samples were obtained for $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ at the sintering temperature range of $870{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ with $Bi_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ additions of <1wt.%, respectively. The microwave dielectric properties of $(Zn_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})TiO_3$ with 0.45 wt.% $Bi_2O_3$ and 0.55 wt.% $V_2O_5$ sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ were as follows: $Q{\times}f_o$=56,800 GHz, ${\varepsilon}_r$=22, and ${\tau}_f=-53ppm/^{\circ}C$. In order to improve temperature coefficient of resonant frequency, $TiO_2$ was added to the above system. The optimum amount of $TiO_2$ was 15 mol.% when sintered at $870^{\circ}C$, at which we could obtain following results: $Q{\times}f_o$ = 32,800 GHz, ${\varepsilon}_r$ = 26, and $\tau_f=0ppm/^{\circ}C$.
