B-doped Si nanoparticles were synthesized by using inductive coupled plasma and specially designed double tube reactor, and their microstructures were investigated. 0~10 sccm of $B_2H_6$ gas was injected during the synthesis of Si nanoparticles from $SiH_4$ gas. Highly crystalline Si nanoparticles were synthesized, and their crystallinity did not change with increase of $B_2H_6$ flow rates. From SEM measurement, their particle sizes were approximately 30 nm regardless of $B_2H_6$ flow rates. From SIMS analysis, almost saturation of B in Si nanoparticles was detected only when 1 sccm of $B_2H_6$ was injected. When $B_2H_6$ flow rate exceeded 5 sccm, higher concentration of B than solubility limit was detected even if any secondary phase was not detected in XRD or HR-TEM results. Due to their high electronic conductivity, those heavily B-doped Si nanoparticles can be a potential candidate for an active material in Li-ion battery anode.

Acetone, a metabolite detected from the exhaled breath of people doing a diet, can be used for non-invasive monitoring of diet efficiency. Thus, gas sensors with rapid response and recovery characteristics to acetone need to be developed. Herein, we report ultrafast acetone sensors using Ce-doped In₂O₃ nanoparticles prepared by the one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The pure In₂O₃ sensor shows a high response and fast response time (τ_res = 6 s) upon exposure to 2 ppm acetone at 300 ℃, while exhibiting a relatively sluggish recovery speed (τ_recov = 1129 s). When 20 wt% Ce is doped, the τ_recov of the sensor significantly decreased to 45 s withholding the fast-responding characteristic (τ_res = 6 s). In addition, the acetone response (resistance ratio, S) of the sensor is as high as 5.8, sufficiently high to detect breath acetone. Moreover, the sensor shows similar acetone sensing characteristics even under a highly humid condition (relative humidity of 60%) in terms of τ_res (6 s), τ_recov (47 s), and S (4.7), demonstrating its high potential in real applications. The excellent acetone sensing characteristics of Ce-doped In₂O₃ nanoparticles are discussed in terms of their size, composition, phase, and oxygen adsorption on the sensing surface.

탄화철을 합성하는 공정을 수소($H_2$) 환원과 $CO-H_2$ 혼합가스에 의한 탄화의 2단계 과정으로 나누어서 수행했다. 환원종료 후 미량의 암모니아 가스를 첨가하여 환원철의 표면을 개질한 후, 탄화시간 경과별 탄화상태를 C/S 분석기(Low C/S determinator), 뫼스바우어 분광 분석기(Mossbauer spectroscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction patterns), SEM(Scanning electron microscopy), TEM(Transmission electron microscopy), XPS(Photoelectron spectroscopy), 및 라만분광기 (Raman spectroscopy)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, 미량의 암모니아가스로 환원철 표면을 개질함으로써 탄화철의 분해 및 유리탄소의 석출을 방지할 수 있을 뿐만아니라 6.68wt% 이상 10wt% 까지 탄소가 과고용된 상태에서도 분해되거나 유리탄소를 석출하지 않고 안정상태를 유지하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 철(Fe)과 세멘타이트(cementite, $Fe_3C$)가 혼합되지 않고 고탄화철(SIC, super iron carbide)인 Fe5C2 상태의 안정한 단일상을 얻는데 성공하였다.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powder was easily synthesized by the direct nitridation of Al melt containing ~20 wt.% Mg catalyst and the nitriding behavior was investigated by thermodynamic calculation and through observations of electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The addition of Mg catalyst decreased the nitriding temperature below $1,000^{\circ}C$, which is comparable to the high nitriding temperature of $1,400^{\circ}C$ required in carbothermal method. It was caused by a significant increase of the solubility of nitrogen gas due to the increase of Mg catalyst in Al melt. The dissolved nitrogen gas met Mg catalyst and was transformed into metastable $Mg_3N_2$. Finally the metastable phase reacted with Al to AlN.

In the present work, we report a novel microstructure of scalenohedral calcite synthesized without any additives by a simple and ecofriendly carbonation process carried out in a liquid-gas system as well as the effects of experimental conditions on the crystal growth of the scalenohedral calcite phase. Various process parameters, pH, temperature, $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration, $CO_2$ flow rates, and the total volume concentration, were investigated to enhance the sensitivity of the process. The highest average length of the scalenohedral calcite was obtained at pH 6.0, temperature of $45^{\circ}C$, $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration of 0.2M, $CO_2$ flow rate of 80mL/min, and total volume of 1L. The synthesized calcite was characterized by XRD, SEM, and FTIR to identify the phases and surface morphology.

Mimicking the bacterial synthesis of magnetosomes, in which the functionalized surface of a cytoplasmic (lipid) membrane is considered to be stimulating the crystal growth of magnetite, we have successfully grown magnetite films at $30^{\circ}C$ using an arachic acid monomolecular layer as a functionalized surface. The lipid monomolecular layer was spread on an aqueous solution of FeCl$_2$ which was oxidized by flowing a mixed gas, with ratio $O_2$/$N_2$=1/2000, on the surface of the lipid layer. Mossbauer and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the Fe$_3$O$_4$ films contain small amounts of ferric hydroxyl impurity phases of ${\alpha}$-FeOOH and ${\tau}$-FeOOH. This is because the oxygen partial pressure at the ferrite/aqueous interface changed as the film (through which the gas penetrated) increased in thickness. Methods to obtain single phase magnetite films are proposed.

분리막에 대한 지속적인 성장과 더불어 나노섬유 분리막은 현재 기체, 수처리, 에너지 등 다양한 분야에서 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있다. 나노섬유를 제조하는 방법에는 연신(drawing), 템플레이트 합성(template synthesis), 상분리(phase separation), 자가조립(self-assembly), 전기방사(electrospinning)법이 있으며, 특히, 전기방사법은 다른 제법들에 비해 높은 생산성과 생산비용이 낮은 장점이 있다. 또한, 재료의 선택성이 용이하며, 높은 비표면적과 기능기 추가가 용이하다. 분리막에 있어서 나노섬유의 적용은, 이차전지분야에서 기존의 PP, PE 혹은 PE/PP 격리막 위에 나노섬유를 도포함으로써 고온에서 안정성과 고출력을 가진 분리막을 개발할 수 있으며, 수처리 분야에서는 나노섬유 사이에 항균성 물질 등 다양한 첨가제를 추가하여 고기능성 분리막을 개발할 수 있다. 따라서 나노섬유 분리막은 에너지 분야에서 수처리 분야에 이르기까지 다양한 용도에 활용가능하며, 다양한 기능성의 발현으로 고부가 가치가 기대된다.

Using the quarternary ammonium salts as phase transfer catalyst, the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-chlorooctane with sodium-cyanide was investigate kinetically with respect to the formation of octanenitrile. The product was analyzed with gas chromatograph, and quantity of octanenitrile was measured. The reaction condition was considered by the effect of the reaction temperature, of the species and the amount of catalyst, of the speed of strirring, and of the concentration of reactants. The reaction was carried out in the first order on the concentration of 1-chlorooctane and sodium cyanide, respectively. The over-all order was 2nd. The activation energies for the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-chlorooctane and 1-bromooctane under tetrabutylammonium hydrogen-sulfate were calculated as 2.05 and 10.08kcal/mol, respectively. The effect of various caltalysts was decreased in the order of tetrabutylammonium bromide, terabutylammonium, tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate, and tetrabutylammonium iodide. The reaction rate was dependent on the concentration of sodium-cyanide dissolved in the aqueous phase, and the good result was shown when the mol ratio between 1-chlorooctane and sodium cyanide was one per three.

The Ni-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering of mixture of gas-atomized metallic glass powders and ductile brass powders. The successful consolidation of metallic glass matrix composite was achieved by strong bonding between metallic glass powders due to viscous flow deformation and lower stress of ductile brass powders in the supercooled liquid state during spark plasma sintering. The composite shows some macroscopic plasticity after yielding, which was obtained by introducing a ductile second brass phase in the Ni-based metallic glass matrix.
