Natural biotemplates - such as bacteria, fungi and viruses - are used in nanostructured metal oxide production. The pollen can be found abundantly in nature, and their microcapsules can be easily isolated from the pollen by chemical treatments. To date, pollen microcapsules are mostly used as drug carriers and catalytic agent templates. In the present study, nanoporous-structured nickel oxide is produced using Pistachio pollen microcapsules. The raw pollen, chemically treated pollen and metal-coated pollen were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The natural Pistachio pollen which were procured from Gaziantep, Turkey, are spherical, with a diameter of approximately $23{\mu}m$. The maximum surface area obtained for nickel oxide-coated microcapsules is $228.82m^2/g$. This result shows that Pistachio pollen are an excellent candidate for the production of porous nanostructured materials for supercapacitor electrodes.

본 연구는 알루미나를 이용하여 수용액 중에 존재하는 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO{_3}^-$, $Cl^-$ 이온의 제거 특성을 분석하기 위하여 실시하였다. 알루미나는 $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$와 $NH_4OH$를 사용하여 합성한 수화물을 $450{\sim}750^{\circ}C$로 5 h 동안 열처리하고 FT-IR과 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)법으로 물성을 분석하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 알루미나의 비표면적은 열처리 온도가 증가하면 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. 알루미나에 의한 흡착능은 $SO{_4}^{2-}$와 $NO{_3}^-$가 각각 23 mg/g와 12.4 mg/g의 값을 보였다. 반면에 $Cl^-$는 4 mg/g으로 비교적 낮은 값을 보였다. 일반적으로 음이온 제거 효율은 알루미나의 제조를 위한 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 감소하였으며, $450^{\circ}C$로 처리한 알루미나의 경우에 가장 좋은 처리 효율을 나타내었다. 양이온인 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$의 제거 효율은 알루미나의 열처리 온도에 비례하여 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In this study, we prepared the activated graphite nanofibers (A-GNFs) via chemical activation with KOH reagent. The effect of A-GNFs on the surface and textural properties of Ni-loaded graphite nanofibers (Ni/GNFs) was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The textural properties of samples were investigated by $N_2$/77K adsorption isotherms. The electrochemical performances were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. As a results, the electrochemical performances of Ni/GNFs were improved with usage of A-GNFs. This could be interpreted by the high specific surface area and large total pore volume of the A-GNFs.

Dye removal from waste water via adsorption by activated carbons (ACs) developed from agricultural wastes represents an ideal alternative to other expensive treatment options. Physical and chemical ACs were prepared from rice husks. The textural properties of the ACs were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-$N_2$ adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. The chemistry of the carbon surface was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, base and acid neutralization capacities, pH of the active carbon slurry, and $pH_{pzc}$. The adsorption capacities of the ACs for the basic dye (methylene blue) and acid dye (acid green 25) were determined using parameters such as contact time, pH, and temperature. NaOH-ACs showed the highest surface area and total pore volume, whereas steam-ACs showed the lowest ones.

In this study, we successfully prepared CNT/$TiO_2$, Pt/CNT and Pt/CNT/$TiO_2$ composites and investigated their photocatalytic activity in MB solution by irradiation under UV light. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the functional group on the surface of MWCNTs, which oxidized by MCPBA. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to analyze the prepared composites. The results of the decomposition of the MB solution indicated that the Pt/CNT/$TiO_2$ composite had the best photocatalytic activity among the three kinds of composites.

The excessive phosphate in water causes eutrophication which destroys water environment. In this study, mesoporous silica was synthesized and several functional groups were attached on it. Samples were tested to identify the ability to remove phosphate. The structures of synthesized materials were analyzed by X-ray diffractions (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and surface area analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). To determine the maximum phosphate adsorption capacities and sorption rate, the equilibrium test and kinetic test was conducted. Among functionalized SBA-15 samples, pure SBA-15 didn't adsorb phosphate but Al-SBA-15 and Ti-SBA-15 showed good performances to remove phosphate. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of Al-SBA-15 was efficient compared to other adsorbents.

In this research, we report the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous graphene aerogels (hpGAs) for application to electrochemical energy storage. For electrochemical systems, the specific capacitance is a key parameter to evaluate the characteristics of electrode materials. By taking full advantage of large surface area, 3D hpGAs would achieve the larger specific capacitance over rGO film and GAs. Microscopic structures and topologies of hpGAs were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to determine the chemical compositions of rGO film, GAs, and hpGAs. Raman spectra were recorded from 100 to 2500 cm-1 at room temperature using a Raman spectroscopy equipped with a ${\times}100$ objective was used. The specific area and pore distribution of GAs and hpGAs were obtained using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller apparatus.

본 연구를 통해 반도체 산업에서 유래된 마이크로웨이브 증폭 에칭기술(MEE)을 이용하여, 마이카의 표면 구조를 변화시키고 오일 흡유량을 조절할 수 있었다. 마이크로웨이브 에너지가 마이카에 조사되면, 마이카 표면이 몇 분 이내에 에칭이 된다. 에칭의 결과로 마이카의 오일 흡유량이 증가되고, 마이카 $SiO_2$층의 표면 변화에 의해 백색도가 증가한다. 추가적으로, 땀을 흡수한 이후에도 높은 백색도가 유지된다. 마이카의 표면구조의 변화는 불산에 슬러리화된 마이카에 마이크로웨이브 조사를 통해서 이루어졌다. 에칭의 정도는 산의 농도, 조사 시간, 조사 에너지의 양, 슬러리의 농도에 의해 조절되었다. 에칭된 마이카의 표면 구조는 '달' 표면 모양과 유사하게 보인다. 표면적과 거칠기 등의 특성은 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Spectrophotometer, goniophometer로 측정되었다.

We use UV(ultraviolet)-$O_3$ treatment to increase the surface area and porosity of $TiO_2$ films in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). After the UV-$O_3$ treatment, surface area and porosity of the $TiO_2$ films were increased, the increased porosity lead to amount of dye loading and solar conversion efficiency was improved. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images clearly showed that the nanocrystalline porosity of films were increased by UV-$O_3$ treatment. The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller surface area of the $TiO_2$ films were increased from $0.71cm^2/g$ to $1.31cm^2/g$ by using UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Also, UV-$O_3$ treatment of $TiO_2$ films significantly enhanced their solar conversion efficiency. The efficiency of the films without treatment was 4.9%, and was increased to 5.6% by UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Therefore the process enhanced the solar conversion efficiency of DSSCs, and can be used to develop high sensitivity DSSCs.
