A series of $CeO_2-TiO_2$ composite samples with different Ce/Ti molar ratios were prepared by the paper template. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm a face-centered cubic lattice of $CeO_2$ with Ce/Ti =8:2 or 9:1 and a two phase mixture of anatase titania and face-centered cubic ceria with Ce/Ti = 7 : 3. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results suggest that the products are micron braid structures consisting of fibers with diameters in a range of $1-6{\mu}m$ and lengths of several hundred micrometers. $N_2$ absorption-desorption testing shows that the composite at Ce/Ti molar fraction of 8 : 2 has the largest BET surface area (about $81m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$). Compared to the pure $CeO_2$ sample, the composites show superior catalytic activity for $H_2$ reduction and CO oxidation. For the micron braid structure $CeO_2-TiO_2$ composite (Ce/Ti = 8 : 2), due to the high surface area and the solid solution with appropriate $Ti^{4+}$ incorporation, the CO conversion at about $280^{\circ}C$ was above 50% and at $400^{\circ}C$ was 100%.

The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

The effect of $BaF_2$ flux in $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) formation was investigated. Phase transformation of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) was characterized by using XRD, SEM, and TEM-EDS, and it was revealed that the sequential formation of the $Y_4Al_2O_9$(YAM), $YAlO_3$(YAP) and $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$(YAG) in the temperature range of 1000-1500$^{\circ}C$. Single phase of YAG was revealed from 1300$^{\circ}C$. In order to find out the effect of $BaF_2$ flux, three modeling experiments between starting materials (1.5$Al_2O_3$-2.5$Y_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$-$BaF_2$, and $Al_2O_3$-$BaF_2$) were done. These modeling experiments showed that the nucleation process occurs via the dissolution-precipitation mechanism, whereas the grain growth process is controlled via the liquid-phase diffusion route. YAG:Ce phosphor particles prepared using a proposed technique exhibit a spherical shape, high crystallinity, and an emission intensity. According to the experimental results conducted in this investigation, 5% of $BaF_2$ was the best concentration for physical, chemical and optical properties of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$(YAG:Ce) that is approximately 10-15% greater than that of commercial phosphor powder.

CAD/CAM 가공이 가능한 치과용 3Y-TZP블록을 제조하였다. 블록 제조를 위하여 3Y-TZP분말에 $HfO_2$와 $CeO_2$ 분말을 첨가하여 $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 한 후 $1450^{\circ}C$에서 소결하였으며, 이때 $HfO_2$와 $CeO_2$ 분말의 첨가량 및 열처리 조건에 따른 블록의 기계적 특성 및 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. EDS mapping 이미지를 통하여 $HfO_2$와 $CeO_2$ 분말이 3Y-TZP에 비교적 분산이 잘되어 있음을 확인하였다. 본 실험에서는 3 wt% $HfO_2$가 첨가된 블록이 가장 높은 굽힘 강도(1 GPa)를 나타내었으며, 3 wt% $CeO_2$가 첨가된 블록은 수열분위기하에서의 $t-ZrO_2$의 안정성을 향상 시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

$CeO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared by a flame spray pyrolysis from aqueous solution of cerium nitrate. The morphology, structure crystallinity and specific surface area of as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Telle (BET). The $CeO_2$ nanoparticles about 5 nm in diameter showed a cubic fluorite structure and polyhedral morphology. The average particle size increased as the cerium nitrate concentration increased. UV absorption performance of the as-prepared nanoparticles was measured by UV-visible spectroscopy. UV absorption of $CeO_2$ nanoparticles was more effective than that of commercial $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Effect of dopants such as Ti and Zn to $CeO_2$ nanoparticles on UV absorption properties was also investigated. In case of $Ti/CeO_2$, and $Zn/CeO_2$ nanoparticles, they showed a little higher UV absorption values compared with $CeO_2$ nanoparticles. The as-prepared nanoparticles can be promising materials with high UV absorption value.

The crystal structure and properties of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) and CeO$_2$ thin films deposited on r-plane (1(equation omitted)02) sapphire substrate by pulsed- laser deposition(PLD) have been investigated. C-axis oriented epitaxial YBCO thin films with critical temperature (Tc) of 88 K were routinely grown on (200) oriented CeO$_2$ buffer layers with thickness in the range between 20 to 80 nm. When the thickness of the (200)oriented CeO$_2$ buffer layer increases over than 80 nm, the superconducting properties of YBCO thin films on that were deteriorated. The decrease in Tc of YBCO thin films was explained by the microcrack formation in CeO$_2$ buffer layer. These results indicate that the thickness of the (200) oriented CeO$_2$ buffer layer is critical to the epitaxial YBCO thin nim growth on r-plane (1(equation omitted)02) sapphire substrate.e.

YBCO 박막형 초전도체(coated conductor) 제조를 위해서는 여러 층의 완충층이 필요하다. 현재 일반적인 완충층의 구조는 seed layer로써 $Y_2O_3$, diffusion barrier로 YSZ, capping layer로 $CeO_2$가 사용되고 있다. 특히, capping layer로 $CeO_2$는 YBCO와 lattice mismatch가 매우 우수한 산화물로 이용되고 있다 본 연구에서는 $CeO_2$ capping layer가 증착 방법에 따라 그 위에 증착되어지는 초전도층의 특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. $CeO_2$를 thermal evaporation과 PLD (pulsed laser deposition) 증착 방법으로 증착 한 후 그 위에 PLD 방법으로 YBCO를 증착하여 coated conductor의 성능을 평가하였다.

Catalytic gasification of mandarin waste residue was carried out using direct and indirect catalyst-contact methods for the first time. In the indirect method, non-catalytic reaction in a reactor was followed by catalytic upgrading of vapor product in another reactor. Two different catalysts, $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, were employed. $CeO_2-ZrO_2$ support was prepared using hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical water. The catalysts were characterized by $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. Under the condition of equivalent ratio (ER) = 0, the indirect catalyst-contact method led to a higher gas yield than the direct method. Under ER = 0.2, the yield of biogas obtained over $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was higher than that obtained over $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Also, the coke formation of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was lower than that of $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Such results were attributed to the higher reducibility and better lattice oxygen mobility of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, which were advantageous for partial oxidation reaction.

We have fabricated good quality superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on Hastelloy(Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) metallic substrates with CeO$_2$and BaTiO$_3$buffer layers in-situ by pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. YBCO film with CeO$_2$ single buffer layer shows T$_{c}$ of 71.64 K and the grain size less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. When BaTiO$_3$is used as a single buffer layer, the grain size of YBCO is observed to be larger than that of YBCO/CeO$_2$by 200 times and the transition temperature of the film is enhanced to be about 84 K. CeO$_2$/BaTiO$_3$double buffer layer has been adopted to enhance the superconducting properties, which results in the enhancement of the critical temperature and the critical current density to be about 85 K and 8.4 $\times$ 10$^4$ A/cm$^2$ at 77 K, respectively mainly due to the enlargement of the grain size of YBCO film.ilm.
