In this study, zinc or cerium exchanged zeolite was introduced to develop a novel anti-corrosion pigment. The primer paint was made using them and was coated on galvanized(GI) steel. The anti-corrosion performance was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). And scanning vibrating electrode technique(SVET) was employed to observe the cut-edge corrosion process of the coated GI steel. From EIS and SVET results, it could be confirmed that Ce ion-exchanged zeolite showed the anti-corrosion performance higher than Shieldex C303 and Zn ionexchanged zeolite. Finally, it was found that metal ion-exchanged zeolite may provide new possibility as the smart cathodic corrosion inhibitor delivery systems on galvanized steels.

This paper demonstrates the successful application of yttria-stabilized zirconia thin films deposited by atomic layer deposition to the anode-side interlayer for cerium oxide electrolyte based solid oxide fuel cell. At the operating temperature over $500^{\circ}C$, the electrical conductivity of cerium oxide electrolyte is known to dramatically increase and, therefore, the open circuit voltage of the cell decreases leading to the decrease of the performance. Ultra-thin (60 nm) atomic layer deposited yttria-stabilized zirconia thin film in this study conformally coated the anode-side surface of the cerium oxide electrolyte and efficiently blocked the electrical conduction through the electrolyte. Accordingly, the open circuit voltage increased by up to 20%, and the maximum power density increased by 52% at $500^{\circ}C$

In this study cerium nano particles(CNPs) with 0-4.0 wt% was incorporated to the conventional dental pit and fissure sealant(ConciseTM) to produce new pit and fissure sealant the physical properties and cytotoxicity. The physical properties were measured for polymerizing depth the degree of water absorption and solubility. The cytotoxicity of cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay using immortalized human oral keratinocyte(IHOK). As a result of this preceding study the polymerizing depth was decreased by the increasing of the amount of CNPs. The solubility degree of the sealant added CNPs with 2.0 wt% showed was the lower and the water absorption showed no significantly difference with the control groups(p>0.05). The cytotoxicity test results showed high survival rates in all experimental groups. Therefore, pit and fissure sealant by the addition of CNPs excellent cell viability be produced without weaken the physical property of the cell viability fissure sealant containing CNPs does not weaken physical properties and has no cytotoxic effects biocompatibility. Considering its properties effect of CNPs, further studies are required for distribution technology application.

The two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle is composed of the T-R (Thermal Reduction) and W-D (Water Decomposition) steps. The mechanism of this cycle is oxidation-reduction, which produces hydrogen. The reaction temperature necessary for this thermochemical cycle can be achieved by a dish-type solar thermal collector (Inha University, Korea). The purpose of this study is to validate a water splitting device in the field. The device is studied and fabricated by Kodama et al (2010, 2011). The validation results show that the foam device, when loaded with $CeO_2$ powder, was successfully achieved hydrogen production under field conditions. Through this experiment, we can analyze the characteristics of the catalyst and able to determine which is more advantageous thing to produce hydrogen compared with previous experiment that used ferrite-device.

The physical properties of ceramic materials including oxides are greatly influenced by the material density. Therefore, various efforts have been made to increase the material density. One of the most popular strategies is to use sintering additives in sintering materials. The conventional sintering additive was a spherical powder having a three-dimensional structure. In this study, sintering additive with 2-dimensional (2D) layer structure was used to increase the sintering density of cerium oxide and its effect was confirmed. In this study, 1 nm-thick $TiO_x$ and $MnO_x$ nanosheets were used as sintering additives.

In order to investigate the effect of cerium oxide addition, Cu-ZnO-CeO₂ catalysts were prepared using co-precipitation method for water gas shift (WGS) reaction. A series of Cu-ZnO-CeO₂ catalyst with fixed Cu Content (50 wt%, calculated as CuO) and a given ceria content (e.g., 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 wt%, calculated as CeO₂) were tested for catalytic activity at a GHSV of 95,541 h^-1, and a temperature range of 200 to 400 ℃. Cu-ZnO-CeO₂ catalysts were characterized by using BET, SEM, XRD, H₂-TPR, and XPS analysis. Varying composition of Cu-ZnO-CeO₂ catlysts led the difference characteristics such as Cu dispersion, and binding energy. The optimum 10 wt% doping of cerium facilitated catalyst reduction at lower temperature and improved the catalyst performance greatly in terms of CO conversion. Cerium oxide added catalyst showed enhanced activities at higher temperature when it compared with the catalyst without cerium oxide. Consequently, ceria addition of optimal composition leads to enhanced catalytic activity which is attributed to enhanced Cu dispersion, lower binding energy, and hindered Cu metal agglomeration.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of pit and fissure sealant containing cerium oxide nano particles(CNP). Used to mix with pit and fissure sealant (Concise^TM, USA). CNP was added into liquid (0- 4.0 wt%) of pit and fissure sealant. The specimens for the vickers hardness (VHN; 10 × 2 mm), Three-point flexure (FS; 2 × 2 × 25 mm) with flexure modulus (FM) were obtained from cements at 1, 7, and 14 days after storing in (37±1)℃ distilled water. All mechanical strength tests were conducted using machine (Instron 3344) with a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Duncan posthoc test(p<0.05). Mechanical properties of conventional pit and fissure sealant could be enhanced by addition of CNP. Three-point flexure and modulus of pit and fissure sealant containing CNP were showed a slightly higher value not significantly with the group(p>0.05). The vickers hardness values were increase significantly with incubation time(p<0.05). Results indicated that CNP can be used considered as potential reinforcing agent for increasing mechanical properties for conventional pit and fissure sealant. Therefore, it was suggest that the additional effects of CNP and research on a wide range of substances.

Alumina-based catalysts with different Ce loadings were studied in the decomposition of $CF_4$ using microwave heating system. Heating material of microwave system used Silicon Carbide. The crystallographic phases of catalysts were investigated by XRD and decomposition rates of $CF_4$ were examined by GC-TCD. The catalysts of 10 wt% Ce modified $Al_2O_3$ showed higher $CF_4$ decomposition rate than un-modified $Al_2O_3$ for $500^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature. The k value of catalysts shows the order of $Ce(20)/Al_2O_3=Ce(0)/Al_2O_3<Ce(5)/Al_2O_3<Ce(10)/Al_2O_3$. XRD patterns of $Ce(0)/Al_2O_3$ were no difference before and after the reaction and showed $Al_2O_3$ phases. With the increase in Ce loadings, $CeO_2$, $AlF_3$ of XRD peaks was observed. The results was indicated that Ce modifed $Al_2O_3$ than un-modifed $Al_2O_3$ was decreased reaction temperature to $200^{\circ}C$ with same decomposition rate. Also the appropriated cerium sulfate loadings on $Al_2O_3$ were 5~10 wt%.

건식공정 (pyrochemical process 혹은 pyroprocessing)은장수명핵종의 소멸처리를 위해서는 장수명핵종을 분리한 뒤 연료로 제조하여야 하며, 분리 공정은 습식공정과 건식공정으로 크게 나누어진다. 용융염을 사용하는 습식공정에 비해 2차 방사성폐기물의 발생량이 적고 공정이 간단하고, 핵확산에 대한 저항성이 매우 크다는 장점 때문에 미래의 핵주기 기술로서 주목받고 있다. 소멸처리를 위해서는 사용 후 핵연료 내에 존재하는 장수명 핵종군 원소들을 분리하고 소멸처리용 연료에 적합한 형태의 물리 화학적 형태로 전환시켜야 한다.(중략)
