In this study, ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized via the coprecipitation method using different annealing temperatures from 200℃ to 800℃. By varying the treatment temperature, the morphology changed from amorphous to tetragonal, and finally to polygonal particles. As temperature increased, the sizes of the nanoparticles also changed from 5 nm at 200℃ to approximately 500 nm at 800℃. The fabricated material was used to modify the working electrode of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE), which was subsequently used to survey the detection performance of the antibiotic, chloramphenicol (CAP). The electrochemical results revealed that the material exhibits a good response to CAP. Further, the sample that annealed at 600℃ displayed the best performance, with a linear range of 1-300 μM, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.15 μM. The sensor modified with ZnCo₂O₄ also exhibited the potential for utilitarian application when the recovery in a real sample was above 97%.

In order to the long-term stability of DSE for electroplating process, the lifetime equations were calculated from the results of the accelerated life testing, and the lifetime of DSE was predicted. The nano-embossing pre-treatment led to 2.65 times in the lifetime of DSE. The degradation mechanism of DSE with a thick metal oxide layer for applied highly current density process condition was identified. The improvement of durability of DSE seems to be closely related to adhesion between titanium plate and mixed metal oxide layer.

In recent years, the supercapacitor and hybrid capacitor have related with substitutional energy source focused of many scientists because of their usage in power sources for electric vehicles, computers and other electric devices. The storage energy of electrical charge is based on electrostatic interactions in the electric double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface, resulting in high rate capability and long cycle performance compared with batteries based on Faradaic electrode reactions. So we have been considered to carbon nanofibers as the ideal material for supercapacitors due to their high utilization of specific surface area, good conductivity, chemical stability and other advantages. In this work, we aimed to find out that the capacitance have increased because of electrochemical capacitance to provide by carbon nanofibers. Also carbon nanofibers based on chemical method and water treatment have been resulted larger capacitances and also exhibit better electrochemical behaviors about 15% than before of nontreated state. And also optical observations with treated and nontrteated carbon nanofibers discussed by the TEM, SEM, EDX, BET works and specific surface area analyzer. Their results also focused on the surface area of electrode and electrical capacitance was also improved by the effect of surface treatments.

Pt 상부 전극 증착온도가 Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$(PZT) 박막의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. Pt 상부 전극을 $200^{\circ}C$이상의 고온에서 증착하는 경우, Pt 전극의 하부에 위치한 PZT 박막은 강유전 특성이 심하게 저하되었으나, Pt 전극이 증착되지 않았던 부분은 강유전 특성이 저하되지 않았다. 이와 같은 현상이 발생된 것은 진공 chamber 내의 수증기가 Pt 상부전극의 촉매 작용에 의해 수소 원자로 분해되고, 이 분해된 수소 원자가 고온에서 Pt 하부의 PZT 박막 내로 확산해 들어가 PZT박막에 산소 공공을 만들어 내기 때문이다. Pt의 촉매 작용이 없이는 수증기의 수소 원자로의 분해가 어려우므로 Pt 전극이 덮여져 있지 않는 PZT 박막은 강유전 특성이 저하되지 않는다. 이러한 강유전 특성의 저하는 산소 분위기의 RTA(rapid thermal annealing)처리에 의해 회복이 되었다. 한편, 누설전류 특성은 Pt 상부 전극의 증착온도가 증가함에 따라 향상되는 특성을 보였다.

콜로이드 방법에 의해 은입자를 카본블랙에 담지시켜 알칼리형 연료전지의 산소극의 촉매로 사용하였다. $AgNO_3$와 $NaBH_4$의 혼합용액에 sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate를 첨가하여 콜로이드 용액을 만들었고 이를 전기영동법으로 확인하였다. 입자크기에 대한 전극성능의 영향과 화학흡착을 고찰한 결과 $200{\AA}$의 촉매로 제조한 전극이 가장 우수하였으므로 이를 위해 계면활성제의 첨가효과, 담지시의 교반시간과 담체로 사용되는 카본의 분산성에 따른 은입자의 응집현상을 검토하였다. 열처리 효과에 의한 입자 크기의 증가를 고려할 때 계면활성제의 첨가량을 $10mg/{\ell}$으로 하고 9시간 교반하여 $100{\AA}$의 입자크기를 갖는 촉매를 제조한 뒤 이를 이용하여 전극을 제작하는 것이 가장 좋았다. 또한 카본블랙을 초음파 분산기로 분산시키는 경우 30초 이후에는 재응집현상이 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

Many fundamental studies have been carried out regarding waste water and hazardous gas treatment technology using the photolysis effect of $TiO_2$. However, photolysis of both organic and organic-inorganic binders immobilizing $TiO_2$ makes permanent use impossible. In this study we manufactured a catalytic electrode by nickel-$TiO_2$ composite plating in order to immobilize $TiO_2$. The surface properties according to the current density changes of cathode and concentration changes of $TiO_2$ powder in nickel plating bath has been analysed with EDX, XRF, SEM, Raman spectrometer etc. The characterization of the catalytic electrode in decomposition of organic compound has been obtained by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer through analysing concentration changes of methyl orange solution containing the catalytic electrode vs. time with projecting UV-light in the solution. The study shows that a catalytic electrode of nickel-$TiO_2$ composite plating with high-efficiency in decompostion of organic compound has been formed under high concentration of $TiO_2$ powder and low current density of cathode.

This study aimed to develop a new dust collecting system equipped with an activated carbon (A.C.) coated electrode. Before fabrication, pre-treatment of A.C. was performed to remove metal ions within the A.C. to enlarge its specific surface area. Then, pre-treated A.C., black carbon, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), and methanol were mixed to make a gel compound, which was coated onto aluminum plates to fabricate electrodes. The optimal mixing ratio of A.C., black carbon, PVAc, and methanol was found to be 10 g: 2 g: 3 g: 20 mL. After fabrication, the electrodes were used in the batch-type experiment for $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal. The reduction rates of the gases were high at the beginning and slowly reduced with time. Dust collection experiments were conducted in continuous flow, with various voltages applied. Compared to 5 kV, dust removal efficiency was 1.5 times higher when 10 kV was applied. Increasing the number of electrodes applied also increased the collecting efficiency. The correlation coefficient between actual collecting efficiency and trend line was higher than 99%. Consequently, the novel dust collection system equipped with A.C. coated electrode appears to be a promising substitute for existing dust-control devices.

The effect of a dense $TiO_2$ blocking layer prepared using the sol-gel method on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells was studied. The blocking layer formed directly on the working electrode, separated it from the electrolyte, and prevented the back transfer of electrons from the electrode to the electrolyte. The dyesensitized solar cells were prepared with a working electrode of fluorine-doped tin oxide glass coated with a blocking layer of dense $TiO_2$, a dye-attached mesoporous $TiO_2$ film, and a nano-gel electrolyte, and a counter electrode of Pt-deposited FTO glass. The gel processing conditions and heat treatment temperature for blocking layer formation affected the morphology and performance of the cells, and their optimal values were determined. The introduction of the blocking layer increased the conversion efficiency of the cell by 7.37% for the cell without a blocking layer to 8.55% for the cell with a dense $TiO_2$ blocking layer, under standard illumination conditions. The short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) and open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) also were increased by the addition of a dense $TiO_2$ blocking layer.

$TiO_2$-doped activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were successfully prepared as capacitive deionization (CDI) electrode materials by facile ultrasonication-assisted process. ACFs were treated with titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and isopropyl alcohol solutions of different concentrations and then calcinated by ultrasonication without heat-treatment. The results show that a certain amount of anatase $TiO_2$ was present on the ACF surface. The specific capacitance of the $TiO_2$-doped ACF electrode was remarkably improved (by 93.8% at scan rate of $50mV\;s^{-1}$) over that of the untreated ACF electrode, despite decreases in the specific surface area and total pore volume upon $TiO_2$ doping. From the CDI experiments, the salt adsorption capacity and charge efficiency of the sample with TTIP percent concentration of 15% were found to considerably increase by 71.9 and 57.1%, respectively. These increases are attributed to the improved wettability of the electrode, which increases the number of surface active sites and facilitates salt ion diffusion in the ACF pores. Additionally, the Ti-OH groups of $TiO_2$ act as electrosorption sites, which increases the electrosorption capacity.
