The surface of natural graphite was modified by the use of hydrogen peroxide and evaluated as an anode material for lithium ion capacitors (LICs). The surface treatment was carried out under various ultrasonic conditions of 200, 300, and 400W, which were applied to a mixture of natural graphite and hydrogen peroxide solution for 1 h. While the bulk structure was maintained, the hexagonal symmetry and physical properties of natural graphite, such as BET surface area, tap density, and particle size, were affected by the surface treatment. FT-IR and XPS measurements confirmed the signature of C=O on the surface of graphite samples after treatment. Both the pristine and surface-treated graphites showed a similar reversible capacity of $370mAhg^{-1}$, and the coulombic efficiency of surface-treated graphite decreased with higher ultrasonic energies (89.1%, 89.0%, and 88.0% for 200, 300, and 400 W) comparing with pristine graphite (89.4%). The capacity retention of LICs was greatly improved with the treated natural graphite. The graphite treated under the ultrasonic energy of 300 W and pristine natural graphite showed capacity retention of 77.5% and 42.9%, implying that the surface treatment was an effective method for the improvement of natural graphite as an anode material for LICs.

$La_{7.33}Bi_2(SiO_4)_6O_2$ specimens were fabricated by standard solid-state synthesis route for solid oxide electrolytes. The calcined powders exhibited uniform particles with a mean particle size of about $28{\mu}m$. The room-temperature structure of $La_{7.33}Bi_2(SiO_4)_6O_2$ specimens was analyzed as hexagonal, space group P63 or P63/m, and the unit cell volume increased with increase a sintering temperature. The specimens sintered at $1,175^{\circ}C$ showed X-ray patterns of homogeneous apatite single phase without the second phase such as $La_2Si_2O_7$ and $La_2SiO_5$. The specimen sintered at $1,175^{\circ}C$ showed the maximum sintered density of 5.49 $g/cm^3$. Increasing the sintering temperature, total conductivities increased, activation energy decreased and the values were $1.98{\times}10^{-5}Scm-1$ and 1.23 eV, respectively.

The Zn1-xMnxO ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) samples have been synthesized in the form of powder by the coprecipitation method at low temperature using $Zn(CH_3COO)_2$. $2H_2O$ and $Mn(CH_3COO)_2$. $4H_2O$ powders, as well as HCl and $NH_4OH$ solutions as starting materials. Characterization was conducted using XRD, TEM, XRF, FTIR and VSM. The result shows that the $Zn_{(1-x)}Mn_xO$ ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) nanoparticles have the wurtzite phase with a hexagonal structure and particle sizes ranging from 17.48 to 118.83 nm. In a qualitative analysis of XRF, the peaks that confirm the existence of the manganese element in Mn-doped ZnO samples were observed. Meanwhile, FTIR test result shows that there are peaks at around $500cm^{-1}$ and $400cm^{-1}$ in the FTIR spectra for Mn doped ZnO samples which clearly reveal the existence of the (Zn, Mn)-O strain mode. The (Zn, Mn)-O absorption peak positions have shifted to a lower wave number with increasing Mn doping content. The peak intensity is also lower if compared to that of the ZnO sample without doping. From the VSM test, it is shown that $Zn_{(1-x)}Mn_xO$ ($0.00{\leq}x{\leq}0.06$) nanoparticles are all paramagnetic having monotonically increased susceptibility as increasing Mn content.

Surface enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has attracted attention because the technique enables detection of various chemicals, even down to single molecular scale. Among the diverse candidates for SERS substrates, Au nanoparticles are considered promising due to their fine optical properties, chemical stability and ease of surface modification. Therefore, the fabrication and optical characterization of gold particles on solid supports is highly desirable. Such structures have potential as SERS substrates because the localized surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles is very sensitive to combined molecules and environments. In addition, it is well-known that the properties of Au nanoparticles are strongly dependent on their shape. In this work, arrays of shape-controlled Au nanoparticles were fabricated to exploit their enhanced and reproducible optical properties. First, shape-controlled Au nanoparticles were prepared via seed mediated solution-phase synthesis, including spheres, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra. Then, these shape-controlled Au nanoparticles were arranged on a PDMS substrate, which was nanopatterned using soft lithography of poly styrene particles. The Au nanoparticles were selectively located in a pattern of hexagonal spheres. In addition, the shape-controlled Au nanoparticles were arranged in various sizes of PDMS nanopatterns, which can be easily controlled by manipulating the size of polystyrene particles. Finally, the optical properties of the fabricated Au nanoparticle arrays were characterized by measuring surface enhanced Raman spectra with 4-nitrobenezenethiol.

ZnO shows a direct band gap of 3.37eV, large exciton binding energy (~60 meV), high oxidation ability, high sensitivity to many gases, and low cost, and it has been used in various applications such as transparent electrodes, light emitting diodes (LEDs), gas sensors and photocatalysts. Among these applications ZnO as photocatalyst has considerably attracted attention over the past few years because of its high activities in removing organic contaminants generated from industrial activities. In this research, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by spray-pyrolysis method using the zinc acetate dihydrate as starting material at synthesis temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ with concentration varied from 0.01 to 1.0M. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were examined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transformation Infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The Miller indices of XRD patterns indicate that the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles showed a hexagonal wurtzite structure. With increased precursor concentration, a primary, secondary particle sizes of ZnO nanoparticles increased by 0.8 to $1.5{\mu}m$ and 15 to 35nm, and their crystallinity was improved. Methyleneblue (MB) solution ($1{\mu}M$) as a test comtaminant was prepared for evaluating the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized in different precursor concentration. The results show that the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO nanoparticles was gradually enhanced by increased precursor concentration.

Aluminum nitride(AlN) is a compound (III-V group) of hexagonal system with a crystal structure. Its Wurzite phase is a very wide band gap semiconductor material. It has not only a high thermal conductivity, a high electrical resistance, a high electrical insulating constant, a high breakdown voltage and an excellent mechanical strength but also stable thermal and chemical characteristics. This study is on the preferred orientation characteristics of AlN thin films by reactive evaporation using $NH_3$. We have manufactured an AlN thin film and then have checked the crystal structure and the preferred orientation by using an X-ray diffractometer and have also observed the microstructure with TEM and AlN chemical structure with FT-IR. We can manufacture an excellent AlN thin film by reactive evaporation using $NH_3$ under 873 K of substrate temperature. The AlN thin film growth is dependent on Al supplying and $NH_3$ has been found to be effective as a source of $N_2$. However, the nuclear structure of AlN did not occur randomly around the substrate a particle of the a-axis orientation in fast growth speed becomes an earlier crystal structure and is shown to have an a-axis preferred orientation. Therefore, reactive evaporation using $NH_3$ is not affected by provided $H_2$ amount and this can be an easy a-axis orientation method.

분무열분해 공정을 이용하여 규칙적인 메조기공을 가지는 실리카 분말을 제조하고 고표면적을 얻기 위한 합성조건을 최적화하였다. 주형제로 이용된 CTAB의 양과 액적들의 반응기 내에서 체류시간을 변화시켜주면서 입자를 제조하고 SEM, BET, SAXS, 그리고 DLS를 통해 분말특성을 조사하였다. 기체 유입속도를 고정하고 CTAB/TEOS 몰비를 0.05에서 0.30으로 변화시킴에 따라 비표면적은 200에서 $1,290m^2/g$으로 변화였다. CTAB/TEOS 몰비를 고정했을 때 입자의 비표면적은 기체의 유입속도에 따라 1,062에서 $1,305m^2/g$ 사이에서 변화되었다. 제조된 입자들의 BJH 탈착에 의한 평균 기공 크기는 $21{\sim}23{\AA}$를 가졌으며, CTAB/TEOS 몰비나 기체 유입속도에 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 최대 표면적은 CTAB/TEOS 비를 0.2, 기체 유속을 20 l/min으로 했을 때 $1,305m^2/g$를 얻었다. 제조된 실리카 분말은 육방형구조의 규칙적인 기공에 기인한 $2{\theta}=2.6^{\circ}$ 강한 피크와 $2{\theta}=4.4$ 및 $5.1^{\circ}$ 약한 피크를 가지는 것을 SAXS 분석결과로 확인하였다. 제조된 실리카 분말은 구형의 형상을 가졌으며 $1.0{\mu}m$의 평균크기를 가졌다.

산화망간이 영양소물질과 오염물질과의 반응 및 망간이 식물의 필수 미량원소 등으로 인해 토양학에서 산화망간은 중요한 연구의 대상이 되어왔다. 토양 내에서 가장 흔한 산화망간 광물중의 하나인 버네사이트를 철의 존재 하에서 합성하였다. 토양 내에서 흔한 원소의 하나인 철이 버네사이트의 결정도, 형태 및 화학적 활성에 미치는 영향을 X-선회절, 전지현미경, 양이온 교환능력 및 크롬 산화력을 이용하여 연구하였다. 침전용액내의 철의 함량이 증가할수록 버네사이트의 결정도와 입자의 크기는 감소하였다. 침전된 버네사이트는 낮은 철의 농도에서 육각 판상형이 우세하였으나 농도가 증가 할 수록 미세입자로된 입단이 증가하였다. 그리고 크롬 산화능력은 철의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 양이온 치환능력은 철의 농도와 상관관계가 없었다. 침전용액속의 철은 버네사이트의 결정핵의 형성을 증가시켰고 표면흡착에 의해 결정의 성장을 방해하였다. 철은 토양 망간단과 내에서 산화철과 산화망간의 공존으로 미루어 보아 토양내의 버네사이트의 작은 입자, 낮은 결정도 및 높은 화학적 활성에 기여한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 입증된 버네사이트의 높은 양이온 교환 능력과 산화력은 버네사이트를 환경과 농업에 활용 가능성이 있음을 제시해준다.
