다공 소재는 큰 비표면적과 규칙적으로 정렬된 구조의 특성으로 인해 자성메모리 소자용 재료, 나노 와이어 제작용 템플릿, 마이크로 반응기, 메타물질용 소재 등으로 각광을 받고 있다. 자기조립 수직배열 다공구조 재료를 제작하는 방법으로 흔히 알루미늄의 양극산화 방법과 이원공정계의 상분리 방법이 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 상변태를 비롯한 패턴형성과 계면 운동을 가장 정확하게 다루는 이론적 모델로 알려진 상장모델(Phase Field model)을 이용하여 이원공정계의 박막성장과정 동안의 자발적 상분리에 의한 수직배열 자기조립 다공구조 형성을 시뮬레이션 한다. 상장모델을 기초로 하여 상분리 메커니즘에 의해 발현된 미세조직을 해석하고 다양한 공정변수가 미세조직 발현에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구한다. 또한 상장모델을 통해 얻은 결과는 기존에 발표된 연구들의 결과와 비교를 통해 유효성을 입증한다.

식각 공정변화 즉 상부 ICP 파워, 반응기 압력, 실리콘 기판 온도변화에 따른 실리콘 딥 비어 (deep via) 의 형상 변화 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 메커니즘을 연구하기 위해 $SF_6/O_2$ 플라즈마에 노출된 실리콘 기판의 공정변화에 따른 표면 온도변화를 실시간으로 측정하여 플라즈마 내 positive ions의 거동을 분석하였다. 실리콘 기판의 표면온도를 상승시키는 주된 요인은 positive ions임을 확인할 수 있었으며 이는 기판에 적용된 negative voltage로 인하여 나타난 이온포격이 그 원인임을 알 수 있었다. 상대적으로 radical은 실리콘 표면온도 상승에 큰 역할을 하지 못하였다. 기판 표면온도가 상승 할수록 실리콘 딥 비어 구조에 undercut, local bowing과 같은 측벽 식각이 활성화됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 이는 기판에 들어오는 positive ions가 측벽식각을 유도하는 것으로 해석할 수 있었다.

The reduction of $SO_2$ to elemental sulfur by CO over a series of iron niobate with nominal Nb/Fe atomic ratios of 1/0, 10/1, 5/1, 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 and 0/1 was studied with a flow fixed-bed reactor. Strong synergistic phenomena in catalytic activity and selectivity were observed for the iron niobate catalysts, and the best catalytic performance was observed for the catalyst with Fe/Nb atomic ratio of 1/1. The active phase of the activated iron niobate catalysts was identified to be $FeS_2$ using XRD and XPS. Selective reduction of $SO_2$ by CO was followed by the COS intermediate mechanism.

Nanoparticles play an important role as a catalyst in many chemical syntheses. Colloidal nanoparticles were usually synthesized with reducing, capping, and shape directing agents which induce surface poisoning of catalysts. A new green synthesis for silver nanoparticles was developed by utilizing less additives which could be a hazardous waste. A crystallization technique was employed to reduce the amount of reducing and capping agents during synthesis resulting in less surface poisoning of the nanoparticle. The synthesized Ag nanoparticles using monosaccharides and disaccharides as reducing agents could be used as a catalyst for the redox reaction of resazurin and the mechanism of the reaction using Ag nanoparticles was studied.

The purpose of study is to analyze mechanism with early high portland cement and hardening accelerator. As the result, it was concluded that hardening accelerator makes accelerates appearance of $Ca(OH)_2$ through experiment using TG-DTA when it hydrates with cement. On the result of compressive strength, as increasing the amount of hardening accelerator used, early compressive strength was improved. Also, as a result of hydration heat, hardening accelerator accelerates hydration of $C_3S$ that is cement's component. On the result of XRD's analyzation, hydration product for each age could be check and it was shown that as increasing the amount of hardening accelerator used, peak point of hydration product was recorded high. As the result of SEM, appearance of C-S-H was shown as the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$'s appearance and each age according to additive contents of hardening accelerator. Therefore hardening accelerator used on this study is effective on getting early compressive strength.

For aerospace propulsion systems, Titanium Hydride Potassium Perchlorate (THPP) is a material commonly used as a pyrotechnic initiator that generates gas when energy is supplied or as a supplement charge for NASA standard initiator (NSI). However, when the energetic materials are stored for a long time, it faces the problem of 'aging'. In this study, changes in thermodynamic properties of THPP aged under various humidity environments were identified through thermal analysis and surface analysis. First, a considerable amount of cracks on the surface of the oxidant was found in the aged THPPs. Particularly, when the humidity level increased, the number and length of the cracks rapidly increased. Also, the deterioration of Viton was found only in the thermally aged sample whereas the oxidation of the fuel was more pronounced in the hygrothermally aged samples. The extracted kinetic parameters of THPP on the reaction progress vary greatly by the humidity level, indicating that moisture significantly changes the performance and combustion reaction of THPP, which may eventually result in a reduced lifespan.

Recently, needs for utilization of recycled aggregate have been increasing. However, its utilization has been limited due to its high alkalinity, which mostly came from the unremoved cement paste particles that were attached at the surface of recycled aggregate. Various efforts has been made to reduce its alkalinity by using $CO_2$, but currently available methods that uses $CO_2$ generate the problem with pH recovery. Considering the fact that supercritical $CO_2$ ($scCO_2$) can provide more rapid carbonation of cement paste than by normal $CO_2$, $scCO_2$ was utilized in this work. The reaction between $scCO_2$ and hydrated cement paste has been systematically evaluated. According to the results, it was found that powder type showed higher carbonation compared to that of cube specimens. It seems the carbonation by $scCO_2$ has occurred only at the surface of the specimen, and therefore still showed some amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ calcium aluminates after reaction with $scCO_2$. With powder type specimen, all $Ca(OH)_2$ was converted into $CaCO_3$. Moreover, additional calcium that came from both calcium aluminate hydrates and calcium silicate hydrates reacted with $scCO_2$ to form $CaCO_3$. After carbonation with $scCO_2$, the powder type specimen did not show pH recovery, but cube specimens did show due to the presence of portlandite.

Formic acid has been known as one of key sources of hydrogen. Among various monometallic catalysts, hydrogen can be efficiently produced on Pd catalyst. However, the catalytic activity of Pd is gradually reduced by the blocking of active sites by CO, which is formed from the unwanted indirect oxidation of formic acid. One of promising solutions to overcome such issue is the design of alloy catalyst by adding other metal into Pd since alloying effect (such as ligand and strain effect) can increase the chance to mitigate CO poisoning issue. In this study, we have investigated formic acid deposition on the bimetallic $Pd/Pd_3Fe$ core-shell nanocatalyst using DFT (density functional theory) calculation. In comparison to Pd catalyst, the activation energy of formic acid dehydrogenation is greatly reduced on $Pd/Pd_3Fe$ catalyst. In order to understand the importance of alloying effects in catalysis, we decoupled the strain effect from ligand effect. We found that both strain effect and ligand effect reduced the binding energy of HCOO by 0.03 eV and 0.29 eV, respectively, compared to the pure Pd case. Our DFT analysis of electronic structure suggested that such decrease of HCOO binding energy is related to the dramatic reduction of density of state near the fermi level.

The degradation mechanism of Triclosan(TCS), which is a potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent and has been considered as an emerging pollutant, was investigated in the Fenton and the hybrid reaction with Fe$^{2+}$ and UV-C. The results show that the Fe$^{2+}$ is oxidized to 30% by $H_2O_2$, 28% by UV-C, and 15% by UV-A for 10 min. The degradation rate of TCS for beginning time(10 min) was higher in UV-C only reaction than that in hybrid reaction, which of the order was inverted according to the lapse of reaction time. The effect of methanol was the greatest in Fenton reaction, in which the degradation rate of TCS decreased from 90% to 5% by the addition of methanol. Chloride, ionic intermediate, was produced to 77% for 150 min of hybrid reaction(Fe$^{2+}$ + UV-C), which was the greatest. In case with methanol, the generation rate of chloride for 15 min was ignorable in all reactions($\leq$2%) but the hybrid reaction with Fe$^{2+}$ and UV-C(12%). Additionally, the removal rate of TOC in each reaction was estimated as the followed orders; Fe$^{2+}$ + UV-C > Fe$^{2+}$ + $H_2O_2$ > Fe$^{2+}$ + UV-A > UV-C > UV-A. However, the Fenton reaction was almost stopped after 90 min because the reaction between Fe$^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ cannot be kept on without adding the oxidant. The phenomena was not observed in the hybrid reaction. In view of generating chloride, the reductive degradation of TCS may be in the hybrid reaction with Fe$^{2+}$ and UV-C, which is favorable to mineralize halogenated organic compounds such as TCS. Consequently, the hybrid process with Fe$^{2+}$ and UV-C may be considered as the alternative treatment method for TCS.
