$Au@TiO_2$ core-shell decorated rGO nanocomposite (NC) was prepared using a simple solvothermal method followed by heat treatment for gas sensor application. The crystal structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The $NO_2$ sensing response of the $Au@TiO_2/rGO$ NC was tested at operating temperatures from $250^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$, and was compared with those of the bare rGO and $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell NPs. The $Au@TiO_2/rGO$ NC-based sensor showed a far higher response than the rGO or $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell based sensors, with the maximum response detected when the operating temperature was $400^{\circ}C$. This improved response was due to the high rGO gas absorption capability for $NO_2$ gas and the catalytic effect of $Au@TiO_2$ core-shell NPs in oxidizing $NO_2$ to $NO_3$.

Au/V, Au/Ti의 이중구조 박막을 대기 중에서 $500^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후 Auger electron spectroscopy(AES)와 X-ray photoelectron spectroscepy(XPS)를 이용하여 분석 하였다. 열처리 과정에서 Au와 SiO2 기판 사이의 V-와 Ti- 하층박막은 Au 표면 위에 산화 물을 형성하였다. 산화물의 화학조성은 Au/V, Au/Ti 박막에서 V2O5와 TiO2로 각각 판명되었다.

The surfaces of $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanoparticles have been modified by gold (Au) nanoparticles by a reduction method in solution. Their interfacial electronic structures and optical absorptions have been studied by depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Upon Au-modification, UV-vis absorption spectra reveal a broad surface plasmon peak at around 500 nm. For the as-prepared Au-modified $TiO_2$ and ZnO, the Au $4f_{7/2}$ XPS peaks exhibit at 83.7 and 83.9 eV, respectively. These are due to a charge transfer effect from the metal oxide support to the Au. For $TiO_2$, the larger binding energy shift from that (84.0 eV) of bulk Au could indicate that Au-modification site of $TiO_2$ is different from that of ZnO. On the basis of the XPS data with sputtering depth, we conclude that cationic (1+ and 3+) Au species, plausibly $Au(OH)_x$ (x = 1-3), commonly form mainly at the Au-$TiO_2$ and Au-ZnO interfaces. With $Ar^+$ ion sputtering, the oxidation state of Ti dramatically changes from 4+ to 3+ and 2+ while that (2+) of Zn shows no discernible change based on the binding energy position and the full-width at half maximum (FWHM).

본 연구에서는 불순물이 포함된 Al 기판으로부터 두 단계의 양극산화 (anodization) 법에 의해 균일한 나노기공을 갖는 AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)을 제조하였다. 생성된 AAO템플릿 위에 Deposition-Precipitation(DP)방법을 사용하여 수직으로 형성된 $TiO_2$ 나노섬유에 Au를 첨가시켜 2 wt.% $Au/TiO_2$ 나노섬유룰 제조하였다. 두 단계의 양극산화를 통해 규칙적으로 배열된 AAO 기공 형상과 기판 위에 수직으로 배향된 $TiO_2$ 나노섬유의 형상을 SEM을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노섬유의 특성은 XRD와 Raman 분석을 통하여 $TiO_2$의 아나타제(anatase)와 루타일(rutile) 결정구조와 $TiO_2$ 나노섬유에 담지된 Au의 존재를 확인하였다. 또한 일산화탄소(CO) 산화반응을 통해 AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)기판 위에 형성된 $TiO_2$와 2 wt% $Au/TiO_2$ 나노섬유의 광촉매적 활성을 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$와 $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite 박막을 co-sputtering법으로 제작하였다. Ta-doped $TiO_2$ 박막은 금흥석(rutile)에서 아나타제 상으로 변하는 구조를 유도하는 고용체를 형성했다. $Au/TiO_2$ nanocomposite film의 경우에는, 지름이 약 15 nm인 Au particles들이 $TiO_2$ matrix에 균질하게 분포되었다. Ta가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 전극의 anodic photocurrents가 UV뿐만 아니라 가시광선 영역에서도 관찰되었다. Ta이 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 전극과 $Au/TiO_2$ 나노 콤포사이트 사이의 가시광선 영역에서 photoresponse는 계면 상태로 부터의 bandgap의 감소와 전자의 photoexcitation 때문이다.

Gold catalysts supported on TiO2 have shown a unique catalytic behavior on CO oxidation, depending on surface effects. Particle size has an influence on the surface activity. To make monodisperse Au nanoparticles, organic capping ligands, such as alkylthiols, were used by a "greener" synthesis method [1,2] and Au nanoparticles were deposited on TiO2. However, organic capping ligands must be removed for high catalytic activities by the Au nanoparticles without changing the Au size [3]. We used UV ozone treatment to decompose thiol ligands. The samples have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to examine the surface modification by UV ozone treatment. We show the size distribution of the gold nanoparticles by light scattering analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Au/TiO2 have been prepared using the wetness impregnation method. The catalytic performance of CO oxidation over Au supported on TiO2 under oxidizing reaction conditions (40 Torr CO and 100 Torr O2) were tested. The results show that the catalytic activity depends on particle size and the time of UV ozone exposure, which suggests the role of sulfur bonding in determining the catalytic activity of Au/TiO2 catalysts.

Well-ordered $TiO_2$ nanotubes with Au nanoparticles are a desirable configuration to enhance the gas sensing properties such as response and selectivity due to their high surface area to volume ratio and catalytic effect of Au nanoparticles. We have synthesized the well-ordered $TiO_2$ nanotubes directly on a Pt IDEs patterned $SiO_2/Si$ substrate and then decorated Au nanoparticles on inner and outer surface of $TiO_2$ nanotubes using electrodeposition method. The Au-decorated $TiO_2$ nanotubes shows ultrahigh response to $C2_H_5OH$ and the highest increasing ratio to $H_2$ compared with other gases.

The electrical characterization of Au islands on TiO2 at nanometer scale (as a Schottky nanodiode) has been studied with conductive atomic force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum. The diverse sizes of the Au islands were formed by using self-assembled patterns on n-type TiO2 semiconductor film using the Langmuir-Blodgett process. Local conductance images showing the current flowing through the TiN coated AFM probe to the surface of the Au islands on TiO2 was simultaneously obtained with topography, while a positive sample bias is applied. The boundary of the Au islands revealed a higher current flow than that of the inner Au islands in current AFM images, with the forward bias presumably due to the surface plasmon resonance. The nanoscale Schottky barrier height of the Au/TiO2 Schottky nanodiode was obtained by fitting the I-V curve to the thermionic emission equation. The local resistance of the Au/TiO2 nanodiode appeared to be higher at the larger Au islands than at the smaller islands. The results suggest that conductive atomic force microscopy can be used to reveal the I-V characterization of metal size dependence and the electrical effects of surface plasmon on a metal-semiconductor Schottky diode at nanometer scale.

Au doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles have been synthesized using a reverse micelle technique combined with metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. Au doped $TiO_2$ was coated with glass substrate. The size of the particles and thickness of the coating can be controlled by manipulating the relative rates of the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TTIP within the micro-emulsion. The average size of synthesized Au doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticle was about in the size range of 15 to 25 nm and the Au particles formed mainly the range of 2 to 10 nm in diameter. The effect of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to TTIP and the molar ratio of water to surfactant, are discussed. The synthesized nanopaticles were coated on glass substrate by a spin coating process. The thickness of thin film was about 80 nm. The degradation of MB on a $TiO_2$ thin film was enhanced over 20 % efficiency by the incorporation of Au.
