$TiO_2$ is a wide band-gap semiconductor (3.4 eV) and can only absorb about 5% of sun light in the ultraviolet light region, which largely limits its practical applications because of the lower utility of sun light and quantum yield. In order to move the absorption edge of $TiO_2$ fims to visible spectrum range, we have made the impurity level within a band-gap of $TiO_2$ thin film by introduction of oxygen vacancy. Oxygen-defected $TiO_2$ thin film have prepared by reactive sputtering with the partial pressure of $Ar:O_2=10:90{\sim}99.33:0.66$ ratio. As a result, we could have the impurity level of about 2.75 eV on condition that oxygen partial pressure is below 7%.

Two types of $TiO_2$, nanotube and nanoparticle, were used for the mesoporous coatings by doctor blade technique followed by calcining at $450^{\circ}C$. The coatings were used as working materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) later on and their photovoltaic characterization was carried out. The nanoparticle was synthesized from hydrogen titanate nanotube by hydrothermal treatment at $180^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. The solar energy conversion efficiency (${\eta}$) of DSCs prepared by this nanoparticle reached 8.07％ with $V_{OC}$ (open-circuit potential) of 0.81 V, $I_{SC}$ (short-circuit current) of $18.29mV/cm^2$, and FF (fill factor) of 66.95％, respectively. For the preparation of nanotube, the concentration of NaOH solution varied from 3 M to 5 M. In the case of DSCs fabricated with nanotubes from 3 M NaOH solution, the ${\eta}$ reached 6.19％ with $V_{OC}$ of 0.77 V, $I_{SC}$ of $12.41mV/cm^2$, and FF of 64.49％, respectively. On the other hand, in the case of 5 M solution, the photovoltaic ${\eta}$ was decreased with 4.09％ due to a loss of photocarriers. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the solar energy conversion efficiency of DSCs made from $TiO_2$ nanoparticle showed best results among those under investigation.

One-dimensional rutile $TiO_2$ is an important inorganic compound with applicability in sensors, solar cells, and Li-based batteries. However, conventional synthesis methods for $TiO_2$ nanowires are complicated and entail risks of environmental contamination. In this work, we report the growth of $TiO_2$ nanowires on a Ti alloy powder (Ti-6wt%Al-4wt%V, Ti64) using simple thermal oxidation under a limited supply of $O_2$. The optimum condition for $TiO_2$ nanowire synthesis is studied for variables including temperature, time, and pressure. $TiO_2$ nanowires of ${\sim}5{\mu}m$ in length and 100 nm in thickness are richly synthesized under the optimum condition with single-crystalline rutile phases. The formation of $TiO_2$ nanowires is greatly influenced by synthesis temperature and pressure. The synthesized $TiO_2$ nanowires are characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM).

In this study, the activity test and characterization were performed to evaluate the hydrogen sulfide removal characteristics using a V/TiO₂ catalyst at room temperature. The optimal vanadium loading was 10 wt%, and the durability was greater than 60 minutes at 60~80% relative humidity. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and raman spectroscopy results confirmed that the structure of the vanadium site exposed to the surface was a dominant factor in catalyst activity. From Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray crystallography (XRD) analyses, it was found that sulfur can be accumulated on the catalyst surface, which results in a decrease in durability under catalytic activity tests. Therefore, it is judged that a combined process of catalytic oxidation and regeneration is needed.

In this work, the $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ thin films as blocking layers were coated directly onto the metal-mesh electrode surface to prevent unnecessary inflow of back-transfer electrons from the electrolyte ($I^-/I_3^-$) to the metal-mesh electrode. The DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of SUS mesh coated with blocking $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ layers, dye-attached mesoporous $TiO_2$ film, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited F:$SnO_2$. From the experimental result, it was ascertained that the efficiency of metal electrode coated with $TiO_2$ by Dip-coating was superior to that of metal electrode coated with $SnO_2$ by Dip-coating and screen printing with the results of experiments. The photo-current conversion efficiency of the cell obtained from optimum fabrication condition was 3% ($V_{oc}$=0.61V, $J_{sc}$=11.64 mA/$cm^2$, ff=0.64) under AM1.5, 100 mW/$cm^2$ illumination.

Nitrogen oxides (NO, $NO_2$ and $N_2O$) have been controlled effectively by the SCR catalysts coated on monolith or honeycomb in commercial sites with ammonia as reductant at high temperature range $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$. However, the catalytic filter has much merit on the point of controlling the particles and nitrogen oxides simultaneously. It will be more advanced-system if the catalytic working temperature is reduced to the normal filtration temperature of under $200^{\circ}C$. This study has focus on the development of the catalytic filter working at the low temperature. So the additive effect of the components such as Pt and Mn (which are known the catalytic component of $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ was investigated. The $V_2O_5-WO_3$ catalytic filter exhibited high activity and selectivity at $250{\sim}320^{\circ}C$ showing more than 95% NO conversion for the treatment of 600 ppm NO at face velocity 2 cm/s. The Pt-$V_2O_5-WO_3$ catalytic filter shifted the optimum working temperature towards the lower temperature ($170{\sim}200^{\circ}C$). And NO conversion was 100% and higher than that of $V_2O_5-WO_3$ catalyst at $250{\sim}320^{\circ}C$. The $MnO_X-V_2O_5-WO_3$ catalytic filter showed the wide temperature range of $220{\sim}330^{\circ}C$ for more than 95% NO conversion. This is a remarkable advantage when considered the $MnO_X$ catalytic filter presents the maximum activity at $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ and $V_2O_5-WO_3$ catalytic filter shows the maximum activity at $250{\sim}320^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the effect of alkaline oxides on the humidity sensitivity of $V_2O_{5}$(2mol%)-doped $TiO_2$(98mol%) was investigated as functions of $Li_{2}Co_{3}$, $Na_{2}Co_{3}$. III-1. Measurement of Density. When the mole% of $Li_2$O is varied 0,1,2,5mol%, the more the mole% of additives is increased, the more difference of bulk and apparent density is largely narrowed. The difference of two densities of sample containing 2mol% $Na_2O$ was large all the moat. The sample containing 1mol% $Na_2O$ was small most. III-2. Observation of porosity. The porosity and total intrusion volume according to various amounts of $Li_2O$ was reduced and those of sample containing 2mol% $Na_2O$ as 31.13%, 0.1155mL/g was the highest and 1mol% $Na_2O$ was lowed most and 5, 10mol% $Na_2O$ was more high compare with sample without alkaline oxides. III-3. Characteristic of humidity sensitivity. 1. Impedance of samples containing $Li_2O$ was high compare with sample without alkaline oxides, so we thought it showed Poor sensitivity because it have no impedance changing rapidly as function of relative humidity. 2. When the humidity was increasing from 30RH% to 90RH%, the impedance of sample containing 2mol% $Na_2O$ at 120HZ changed exponential rapidly from 6${\times}$$10^{7}$$\Omega$) to 1.25${\times}$$10^4$$\Omega$. At under 50RH% and over 50RH%, the humidity sensitivity of samples containing 2mol% $Na_2O$ was best especially in the range of the low humidity. III-4. Characteristic of TG curves. When algal me oxide $M_{2}CO_{3}$(M=Li, Na) were added into $V_{2}O_{5}$-doped $TiO_2$, the stability of humidity sensitivity of samples containing amounts of $Li_2O$ was unstable. The samples containing 1mol% $Na_2O$ was unstable.
