In this study, we prepared nano-sized $TiO_2$ particles for various process variables by the diffusion flame reactor and we collected $TiO_2$ particles by thermophoresis. It is found that the size of $TiO_2$ particles increases, as the flame temperature or the inlet $TiCl_4$ concentration increase or the total gas flow rate decreases. We investigated the photo-degradation of phenol wish the prepared $TiO_2$ particles. We found the optimum amounts of $TiO_2$ photocatalysts for our experimental apparatus and investigated the photo-degradation efficiencies of phenol, changing the process variables such as size of $TiO_2$ photocatlysts, phase ratio of rutile/anatase, concentration of phenol, input ratio of $O_2$. Degradation efficiencies of phenol were almost 95% in 15 minutes for the standard conditions of our experiments.

We fabricated UV absorption functional $10{\sim}50nm-TiO_{2-x}/quartz$ structures layer using ALD (atomic layer deposition) method. We deposited $10nm-TiO_{2-x}$ layer on quartz substrate using ALD, and film thickness was determined by an ellipsometer. The others specimen thickness was controlled by ALD time lineally. We characterized controlling phase UV and visible optical property using an X-ray difractometer, a UV-VIS-IR spectrometer and a digital camera. $ALD-TiO_{2-x}$ layers were non-stoichiometric $TiO_{2-x}$ form and amorphous phases comparing with bulk $TiO_2$. While the conventional bulk $TiO_2$ had band gap of $3.0{\sim}3.2eV$ resulting in absorption edges at 380 nm and 415 nm, $ALD-TiO_{2-x}$ layers showed absorption edges at 197 nm and 250 nm. Therefore, our nano-thick $ALD-TiO_{2-x}$ was able to absorb shorter UV region and showed excellent transmittance in visible region. Our result implies that our newly proposed nano-thick $TiO_{2-x}$ using ALD process may improve transmittance in visible rays and be able to absorb shorter UV light effectively.

Recently, the design of the multi-layered $TiO_2$ electrodes has been attracted for high efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. In this study, conversion efficiency of the multi-layered $TiO_2$ electrodes was investigated by using small and large $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Nanostructured $TiO_2$ powders were prepared by $TiCl_4$ hydrolysis. Differently sized $TiO_2$ powders of which the average diameter was 7.6 and 18 nm were obtained by controlled calcination temperature. It was confirmed that multi-layered $TiO_2$ electrodes significantly influence short-circuit current (Jsc) and also show higher conversion efficiency than dye-sensitized solar cells consisting of each particles.

산업이 발달하면서 다양한 화학물질이 배출되고 이로 인하여 환경이 오염되고 있으며, 특히, 대부분의 유기 화합물은 대기오염에 많은 영향을 주는 물질로 알려져 있다. 최근 유기 화합물을 제거하기 위해서 UV와 가시광에서 반응하는 광촉매 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 밴드갭에 변화를 주는 doped $TiO_2$와 가시광에서 반응하는 조촉매를 이용하여 광촉매의 특성을 향상시키는 coupled $TiO_2$를 제조하였다.

$SrTiO_3$ reaction mechanism formed from $TiCl_4$ and $SrCl_2$ solution by direct-wet-process was studied. Through this study it is identified that crystalline $SrTiO_3$ is formed above pH 13.8 amorphous $SrTiO_3$ above pH7 and crystallization temperature of amorphous $SrTiO_3$ is at 37$0^{\circ}C$. the final products are composed of 60% crystalline $SrTiO_3$ and 40% amorphous $SrTiO_3$ The amorphous $SrTiO_3$ is identified with the IR absorption spectrum of Sr-Ti-O by FT-IR spectrometer. Under pH 7 gelationus metatitanate (H2TiO3) is formed from TiCl4 but above pH7 the activity by the formation of metatitnic acid ion $[TiO_3]^{2-}$ is so high that $SrTiO_3$is formed more easily through the reaction with $Sr^{2+}$.

The effects of $Nd_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ addition on the microstructures and microwave dielectic properties of $BaO-Nd_2O_3-TiO_2$ system were investigated. $BaNd_2Ti_4O_{12}$ or $BaNd_2Ti_{5}O_{14}$ phases were observed for compositions based on BaO/$Nd_2O_3$ = 1 ratio. The compositions deviated from $BaO/Nd_2O_3=1$ ratio were composed of major phases of $BaNd_2Ti_4O_{12}$ or $BaNd_2Ti_5O_{14}$, and the compound of $Nd_2O_3$ and $TiO_2(Nd_2Ti_2O_7)$ or that of BaO and $TiO_2(BaTi_4O_9)$. The microstructure of ceramic with $BaO{\cdot}Nd_2O_3{\cdot}4TiO_2$ composition varied from spherical grains to needlelike grains with increasing sintering temperature. With increasing $Nd_2O_3$, the optimum sintering temperature with maximum density increased, and the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) and quality factor(Q) decreased due to the formation of secondary phases. With increasing $TiO_2$, the optimum sintering temperature and the dielectric constant decreased with increased Q value. And the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency, ${\tau}_f$ shifted toward positive direction. The dielectric ceramics with $BaO/Nd_2O_3=1$ showed Q values of above 2000 and dielectric constants of above 80 at 3GHz.

Effects of compositions on the microwave dielectric properties of the MgO-$TiO_2$ system were investigated as a function of the molar ratio of MgO to $TiO_2$ ($0.9{\leq}MgO/TiO_2\;(x){\leq}1.2$). With the compositional changes, secondary phases of $MgTi_2O_5$ and $Mg_2TiO_4$ were also detected along with $MgTiO_3$. Microwave dielectric properties of the specimens were dependent on the types of phases developed in the sintered specimens. A single phase of $MgTiO_3$ showed a dielectric constant (K) of 18.2, a quality factor (Qf) of 198,000 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of $-51\;ppm/^{\circ}C$. However, the dielectric properties of the specimens with a secondary phase of $MgTi_2O_5$ (K=19.9, Qf=48,000 GHz) and/or $Mg_2TiO_4$ (K=15.6, Qf=56,000 GHz) were worsened. Dependence of the microwave dielectric properties on the secondary phase of the MgO-$TiO_2$ system was also discussed in terms of dielectric mixing rules.

The research was conducted in order to improve the hydrogen generation efficiency of the electrical plasma technology from tap water by using $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, mixed Cu - $TiO_2$ powder, and mixed Ni - $TiO_2$ powder as the catalysts. Experiments were performed with the pulsed power and nitrogen carrier gas. The result has shown that the hydrogen concentration with the presence of $TiO_2$ powder was created higher than that of without using photocatalyst. The hydrogen concentration with using $TiO_2$ was 3012ppm corresponding to the applied voltage of 16kV, while it without using the $TiO_2$ was 1464ppm at the same condition . The effect of $TiO_2$ powder was strongly detected at the applied voltages of 15kV and 16kV. This phenomena might be resulted from the co-effect of the pulsed power discharge and the activated state of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. The co-effect of the mixed catalysts such as Cu-$TiO_2$ and Ni-$TiO_2$ (the mixed photocatalyst $TiO_2$ and transition metals) were also investigated. The experimental results showed that, Cu and Ni powder dopants were greatly enhancing the activity of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. Under these experimental conditions the extremely high hydrogen concentrations at the optimal point were produced as 4089ppm and 6630ppm, respectively.

The microwave dielectric ceramic properties of $CaTiO_3-(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3$ were investigated. The solid solution of $CaTiO_3-(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3$ had the perovskite structure in the range of all composition. The dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of solid solution were decreased with the contend of $(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3$, whereas, the $Q{\times}f$ value was increased. In the $(1-X)CaTiO_3-X(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3$ system, the microwave properties could be controlled by the variation of X, X is weight fraction. Typical value of K=119, $Q{\times}f=2970$ and $TCF=14ppm/^{\circ}C$ were obtained for $0.2CaTiO_3-0.8(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3$.

$TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ was prepared by precipitation from the mixed solution of titanium chloride and hydrochloric acid followed by modification with sulfuric acid. The characterization of prepared catalyst was performed by using IR, XPS, XRD and DT-TGA. Infrared spectra of $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ showed bidentate sulfate ion coordinated to the surface of $TiO_2$. The acid strength of modified catalyst was at least $H_0{\leq}-14.52$, showing the superacidic properties which are attributed to the double bond nature of S=O of the complex formed by the interaction of $TiO_2$ with sulfate ion. For $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$, the specific surface area increased and the transition from the amorphous to anatase phase occurred at a higher temperature, as compared with pure $TiO_2$.
