A control system for ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition was developed that can coat a large size glass panel with a transparent conductive oxide. It consists of several ultrasonic atomizer devices to cover a large area and a host computer for individually controlling the devices. The sub-controller in an ultrasonic atomizer device can adjust the flow rate of the atomized conductive oxide gas by setting the flow rate of the solution and regulating the level of the solution in the tank. To construct a feedback control loop for level regulation, a level sensor that utilized an infrared distance sensor and an electric circuit for adjusting the ultrasonic oscillator were developed. The host program was also developed, which can monitor and control the sub-controllers. A proportional-integral controller was developed for a simplified model, and its operation was verified through an experiment.

$TiOF_2$, which has remarkable electrochemical and optical properties, is used in various applications such as Li-ion batteries, electrochemical displays, and photocatalysts. In addition, it is possible to utilize the template which is allowed to synthesize fluorine doped $TiO_2$ powders with hollow or faceted structures. However, common synthesis methods of $TiOF_2$ powders have some disadvantages such as the use of expensive and harmful precursors and batchtype processes with a limited production scale. In this study, we report a synthetic route for preparing $TiOF_2$ powders by using an inexpensive and harmless precursor and a continuous ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process under a controlled atmosphere to address the aforementioned problems. The synthesized powder has an average size of $1{\mu}m$, a spherical shape, a pure $TiOF_2$ phase, and exhibits a band-gap energy of 3.2 eV.

The structural formation of inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrices is a key technology for producing advanced nanocomposites with a unique combination of optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) nanoparticles are attractive for increasing the refractive index and dielectric constant of polymer nanocomposites. Current synthesis processes for $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles require expensive precursors or organic solvents, complicated steps, and long reaction times. In this study, we demonstrate a simple and continuous approach for synthesizing $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles based on a salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. This process allows the synthesis of $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles with diameters of 20-50 nm and a highly crystalline tetragonal structure. The optical properties and photocatalytic activities of the nanoparticles show that they are suitable for use as fillers in various nanocomposites.

Despite numerous advances in the preparation and use of GaN, and many leading-edge applications in lighting technologies, the preparation of high-quality GaN powder remains a challenge. Ammonolytic preparations of polycrystalline GaN have been studied using various precursors, but all were time-consuming and required high temperatures. In this study, an efficient and low-temperature method to synthesize high-purity hexagonal GaN powder is developed using sub-micron $Ga_2O_3$ powder as a starting material. The sub-micron $Ga_2O_3$ powder was prepared by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process. The GaN powder is synthesized from the sub-micron $Ga_2O_3$ powder through a nitridation treatment in an $NH_3$ flow at $800^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of the synthesized powder are systematically examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectrophotometer.

본 연구의 목적은 친환경 액체 추진제 분해반응에 적용하기 위하여 백금이 담지된 헥사알루미네이트 펠렛 촉매를 개발하는 것이다. 초음파 분무 열분해법으로 제조한 hexaaluminate를 지지체로 사용하고 백금을 활성금속으로 사용한 펠렛 촉매를 두가지 방법으로 제조하였다. 백금 전구체를 헥사알루미네이트 분말에 담지한 후에 바인더를 첨가하여 성형한 펠렛 촉매의 경우(M1 method 촉매), $550^{\circ}C$에서 소성한 촉매는 메조기공이 잘 발달하였다. 그러나 이 촉매를 $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성하면 메조기공이 거의 무너지고 약간의 거대기공만 존재하였다. 반면에, 헥사알루미네이트를 성형하여 펠렛을 제조한 후, 펠렛 위에 백금을 담지한 촉매의 경우(M2 method 촉매), $1,200^{\circ}C$에서 소성한 후에도 표면적과 메조기공이 잘 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 백금 분산도 측면에서도 M2 method로 제조한 촉매의 내열성이 더 우수하였다. 펠렛 촉매 제조 방법과 소성온도가 ammonium dinitramide (ADN) 또는 hydroxyl ammonium nitrate (HAN)을 주성분으로 하는 액상 추진제의 분해반응에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. ADN 기반 액체 추진제 및 HAN 기반 액체추진제의 분해반응에서 Pt/hexaaluminate 펠렛 촉매를 사용하면 분해 개시 온도를 큰 폭으로 내릴 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히, M2 method로 제조한 촉매의 경우, 소성온도를 $1,200^{\circ}C$로 올린 경우에도 분해 개시 온도가 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 M2 method로 제조한 Pt/hexaaluminate 펠렛 촉매가 내열성을 보유하고 있으며, 친환경 액상 추진제의 분해 반응용 촉매로서 잠재력이 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

자발착화 연소반응법 (Glycine Nitrate Process)을 응용한 초음파분무열분해장치를 이용하여 이차전지의 양극재료인 Ni치환형 $LiMn_2O-4$ 분말을 합성하였고, 각각의 하소온도에 따른 분말의 특성을 평가하였다. 전구용액은 산화제로 $Mn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_20$EX>, $LiNO_3$, $Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_20$를 사용하였고, 자발착화 에너지를 공급하기 위한 연료로는 glycine를 사용하였다. 분말의 결정상을 확인하기 위해 X-선 회절 시험을 시행하였으며, 각각의 조성별로 ICP측정결과 여러 조성들($LiNi_xNm_{2-x}O_4\;0{\leq}x{\leq]0.5$) 중 $LiNi_{0.3}Nm_{1.7}O_4$의 분말이 비교적 우수한 특성을 나타내었지만, 전기화학적 특성 평가 결과 이론용량값에 미치지 못하는 용량값을 나타내었다. 이것은 분말 합성 시 미량의 미 반응된 유기물들이 분말 표면에 피복되어 전기적 성질을 변화시키고 있기 때문임을 확인하였다. 이러한 특성을 개선하고자 추가적으로 하소 공정을 실시하여 전지의 성능를 평가 하였다. 분말의 미세구조와 형태, 크기, 전기 화학적 특성을 관찰하여 하소 전 후의 분말을 비교하였다.

We investigated the effect of ZnO buffer layer on the formation of ZnO thin film by ultrasonic assisted spray pyrolysis deposition. ZnO buffer layer was formed by wet solution method, which was repeated several times. Structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films deposited on the ZnO buffer layers with various cycles and at various temperatures were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence spectrum analysis. The structural investigations showed that three-dimensional island shaped ZnO was formed on the bare Si substrate without buffer layers, while two-dimensional ZnO thin film was deposited on the ZnO buffer layers. In addition, structural and optical investigations showed that the crystalline quality of ZnO thin film was improved by introducing the buffer layers. This improvement was attributed to the modulation of the surface energy of the Si surface by the ZnO buffer layer, which finally resulted in a modification of the growth mode from three to two-dimensional.

Spherical $MgB_2$ powders was synthesized with the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis(USP) process using aqueous solutions of boron and magnesium ion. The properties of synthesized $MgB_2$ powder were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. A small amount of MgO was detected as the secondary phase out of the synthesized powder and the ratios of $MgB_2$ to MgO increased with increasing furnace temperature. The particle size and morphology of $MgB_2$ powder were investigated with varying molar concentration of the boron and magnesium solution and furnace temperature between $600^{\circ}C$ and $1000^{\circ}C$ in $Ar/H_2$. The average particle size of $MgB_2$ showed narrow distribution ranging from 300nm to 400nm. The morphology of particles exhibited mostly spherical shapes and uniform distribution.

Using the ultrasonic pyrolysis method, spherical $SiO_2$ powders were synthesized from aqueous $SiO_2$ sol as a starting material. The effects of pyrolysis conditions such as reaction temperature, $SiO_2$ sol concentration, and physical properties of precursor were investigated for the morphologies of the resulting $SiO_2$ powders. The particle size, shape, and crystallite size of the synthesized $SiO_2$ powders were demonstrated according to the pyrolysis conditions. Generally, the synthesized $SiO_2$ particles were amorphous phase and showed spherical morphology with a smooth surface. It was revealed that increased crystallite size and decreased spherical $SiO_2$ particle size were obtained with increases of the pyrolysis reaction temperature. Also, quantity of spherical $SiO_2$ particles decreased with the decrease in the concentration and surface tension of the precursor.
