$TiO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel process using titanium tetra isopropoxide as a precursor at room temperature. Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared by photoreduction of $AgNO_3$ on $TiO_2$ under UV light irradiation and calcinated at $400^{\circ}C$. Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were characterized for their structural and morphological properties by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic properties of the $TiO_2$ and Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were evaluated according to the degree of photocatalytic degradation of gaseous benzene under UV and visible light irradiation. To estimate the rate of photolysis under UV (${\lambda}=365nm$) and visible (${\lambda}{\geq}410nm$) light, the residual concentration of benzene was monitored by gas chromatography (GC). Both undoped/doped nanoparticles showed about 80 % of photolysis of benzene under UV light. However, under visible light irradiation Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles exhibited a photocatalytic reaction toward the photodegradation of benzene more efficient than that of bare $TiO_2$. The enhanced photocatalytic reaction of Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is attributed to the decrease in the activation energy and to the existence of Ag in the $TiO_2$ host lattice, which increases the absorption capacity in the visible region by acting as an electron trapper and promotes charge separation of the photoinduced electrons ($e^-$) and holes ($h^+$). The use of Ag-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles preserved the option of an environmentally benign photocatalytic reaction using visible light; These particles can be applicable to environmental cleaning applications.

Highly self-cleaning thin films of $TiO_2-SiO_2$ co-doped with Ag and F are prepared by the sol-gel method. The asprepared thin films consist of bottom $SiO_2$ and top $TiO_2$ layers which are modified by doping with F, Ag and F-Ag elements. XRD analysis confirms that the prepared thin film is a crystalline anatase phase. UV-vis spectra show that the light absorption of $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films is tuned in the visible region. The self-cleaning properties of the prepared films are evaluated by a water contact angle measurement under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic performances of the thin films are studied using methylene blue dye under both UV and visible light irradiation. The $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films exhibit higher photocatalytic activity under both UV and visible light compared with other samples of pure $TiO_2$, Ag-doped $TiO_2$, and F-doped $TiO_2$ films.

항균 활성도를 조사하기 위해 이산화티탄미립자 표면에 나노메탈(Au, Ag)을 균일하게 도핑한 나노복합체($Ag-TiO_2,\;Au-TiO_2,\;Ag-TiO_2$@$TiO_x$)를 초음파환원법과 졸-겔 법으로 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조된 나노메탈-이산화티탄 복합체의 항균 활성도는 고체배지 표면에 나노복합체와 함께 E. coli를 도말하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 후 생존된 콜로니 개수의 측정을 통해서 이루어졌다. 나노복합체의 초기 항균 효율은 나노메탈이 도핑된 이산화티탄미립자($Ag-TiO_2,\;Au-TiO_2,\;Ag-TiO_2$@$TiO_x$)) 복합체가 도핑하지 않은 이산화티탄미립자($TiO_2$)에 비해 높은 항균 효율을 나타내주었다. 이후, 나노복합체를 $4^{\circ}C$에서 보관 후 장기보관에 따른 항균특성을 비교해본 결과, 나노메탈만 도핑된 복합체($Ag-TiO_2,\;Au-TiO_2$)보다는 $Ag-TiO_2,$의 표면을 다시 산화티탄막으로 코팅한 복합체($Ag-TiO_2$@$TiO_x$)의 항균특성이 오랫동안 유지되는 것을 알수 있었다. 이는 산화티탄막으로 다시 코팅한 $Ag-TiO_2$@$TiO_x$의 경우에 Ag 나노메탈의 산화방지 및 나노복합체의 콜로이드 안정성 향상이 이루어졌기 때문으로 사료된다.

The phtoelectrochemical porperties of $Nb_2O_5$, $Sb_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ doped and pure $SrTiO_3$ ceramic electodes were investigated.

Photocurrents of $Nb_2O_5$, $Sb_2O_3$ and $V_2O_5$ doped electrodes and $V_2O_5$ doped ceramic electrode appears at wavelength of 390nm and 500nm respectively.

고주파 마그네트론 동시 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막에 Ag를 도핑한 $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막을 제작하고, 열처리 온도에 따른 박막의 물리적, 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. XRD 측정 결과로부터 금속을 도핑한 박막이 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 결정크기가 더 작은 것을 확인하였으며, SEM 측정 결과로부터 $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막은 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 골자의 크기가 작고 균일하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 제작된 박막은 가시광선 영역에서 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. $600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박막은 아나타제 결정상이 나타났으며, $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 박막은 아나타제와 루타일상이 혼합되어 나타났다 특히, $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 경우 아나타제에서 루타일로의 상전이에 따른 밴드갭 에너지의 변화에 의해 박막의 흡수단이 장파장 영역으로 이동하였다. 또한 박막 내의 흡수와 산란효과에 의해 투과율이 감소하였다. $Ag/TiO_2$ 박막의 광활성은 순수 $TiO_2$ 박막보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the photo-deposition method was used to introduce Ag onto the surface of TiO₂ to synthesize an Ag-TiO₂ composite. The effects of the varying amounts of AgNO₃ precursor and annealing time periods on the Ag content in the composites, as well as their antibacterial characteristics under visible light conditions were studied. SEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the Ag-TiO₂ composite. Compared with TiO₂, the Ag particles were too small to be observed. An XPS analysis of the Ag-TiO₂ surface confirmed the Ag content and showed the peak intensities for elements such as Ag, Ti, O, C, and Si. The highest Ag content was observed when 33.3 wt.% of AgNO₃ and an annealing time of 6 h were employed; this was the optimum annealing time for Ti-Ag-O bonding, in that the lowest number of O bonds and the highest number of Ag bonds were confirmed by XPS analysis. Superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus and Escherichia coli, in addition to the widest inhibition zones were exhibited by the Ag-TiO₂ composite with an increased Ag content in a disk diffusion test, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%.

To synthesize a high-performance photocatalyst, N doped $TiO_2$ nanotubes deposited with Ag nanoparticles were synthesized, and surface characteristics, electrochemical behaviors, and photocatalytic activity were investigated. The $TiO_2$ nanotubular photocatalyst was fabricated by anodization; the Ag nanoparticles on the $TiO_2$ nanotubes were synthesized by a reduction reaction in $AgNO_3$ solution under UV irradiation. The XPS results of the N doped $TiO_2$ nanotubes showed that the incorporated nitrogen ions were located in interstitial sites of the $TiO_2$ crystal structure. The N doped titania nanotubes exhibited a high dye degradation rate, which is effectively attributable to the increase of visible light absorption due to interstitial nitrogen ions in the crystalline $TiO_2$ structure. Moreover, the precipitated Ag particles on the titania nanotubes led to a decrease in the rate of electron-hole recombination; the photocurrent of this electrode was higher than that of the pure titania electrode. From electrochemical and dye degradation results, the photocurrent and photocatalytic efficiency were found to have been significantly affected by N doping and the deposition of Ag particles.

The objective of this work was to increase the efficiency of ultraviolet-light emitting diodes at 375 nm for sterilization. Since $TiO_2$ had antibacterial properties, which were attributed to the appearance of hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radical anions on the surface species under ultra violet radiation at about 387 nm, photo-reactive layers such as Ag-doped $TiO_2$ were coated on aluminum substrates by electrostatic spraying. Crystallinity and surface morphology of the coating layer were examined by X-ray diffraction ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ scan and field emission-scanning electron microscope, respectively. In an antibacterial test, we observed above 99% reduction of Escherichia coli populations on 3 or 5 mol% Ag-doped $TiO_2$ layers after irradiation for 2 hrs at 375 nm, while very low inactivation on bare aluminum substrates occurred after irradiation as the same condition.

In this study, we have fabricated the 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped $(Ba,Sr)TiO_3$ thick films on the Ag/Pd printed $Al_2O_3$ substrates for the LTCCs (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) applications. From the X-ray diffraion analysis, 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films on the Ag/Pd printed $Al_2O_3$ substrates, which sintered at 900 $^{\circ}C$ have perovskite structure without any pyro phase. The dielectric properties of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films were measured from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. To investigate the electrical properties of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films, we employed the impedance spectroscopy. The complex impedance of 3 wt% $Li_2CO3$ doped BST thick films were measured from 20 Hz to 1 MHz at the various temperatures.
