Carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have emerged as promising building blocks in applications for nanoelectronics and energy devices due to electrical property, ease of processability, and relatively inert electrochemistry. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in core-shell nanomaterials, in which inorganic nanowires are surrounded by inorganic or organic layers. Especially, carbon encapsulated semiconductor nanowires have been actively investigated by researchers in lithium ion batteries. We report a method to synthesize silicon nanowire (SiNW) core/carbon shell structures by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using methane (CH4) as a precursor at growth temperature of $1000{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Unlike carbon-based materials synthesized via conventional routes, this method is of advantage of metal-catalyst free growth. We characterized these materials with FE-SEM, FE-TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. This would allow us to use these materials for applications ranging from optoelectronics to energy devices such as solar cells and lithium ion batteries.

Borazine (B3N3H6) as an inorganic analogue of benzene was synthesized by reaction of cheap raw materials (NaBH4 and (NH4)2SO4), and by using simple glass reaction apparatus in a scale up to 20 g per run with highly improved yield over 50%. It appears that synthesis of borazine is competing with formation of poly(aminoborane) as an inorganic analogue of polyethylene. The synthesized borazine and its polymerized product were characterized by comparison with products obtained from a commercial one. Bulk pyrolysis of the borazine polymer to 1500 ℃ produced a pure boron nitride (BN) with 75% ceramic yield, which displayed good oxidation resistance under dry air.

Single $TiO_2$ coating prepared by sol-gel process usually experiences cracks in coating layer. In order to prevent cracks, an inorganic-organic hybrid $TiO_2-SiO_2$ coating was synthesized by combining precursors with an organic functional group. Five different coatings with various ratios of (1:8, 1:4, 1:1, 1:0.25 and 1:0.125) titanium alkoxide (TBOT, Tetrabutylorthotitanate) to organo-alkoxysilane (MAPTS, ${\gamma}$-Methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane) on carbon steel substrate were made by sol-gel dip coating. The prepared coatings were analyzed to study the coating properties (surface crack, thickness, composition) by scanning electron microscope (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also performed to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of the coatings. Crack free $TiO_2-SiO_2$ hybrid coatings were prepared with the optimization of the ratio of TBOT to MAPTS. The corrosion rates were significantly decreased in the coatings for the optimized precursor ratio without cracks.

In this paper, It was reported the dielectric constant in organic inorganic hybrid silica material such as SiOC film modeling of bond structure by annealing in organic properties. The organic inorganic hybrid silica material were deposited using bis-trimethylsilymethane (BTMSM, [(CH3)3Si]2CH2) and oxygen gas precursor by a plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The organic inorganic hybrid silica material have three types according to the deposition condition. The dielectric constant of the films were performed MIS(Al/Si-O-C film/p-Si) structure. The C 1s spectra in organin inorganic silica materials with the flow rate ratio of O2/BTMSM=1.5 was organometallic carbon with the peak 282.9 eV by XPS. It means that organometallic carbon component is the cross-link bonding structure with good stability. The dielectric constant was the lowest at annealed films with cross-link bonding structure.

Polyimide/silica(PI/silica) hybrid materials having physical or chemical bonds between the PI and silica network were prepared using sol-gel process through hydrolysis and polycondensation of tetraethoxysilane with the polyamic Acid(PAA) or end-capped PAA solution. PAA solution was synthesized by ring opening reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride and oxydianiline monomers in dimethyl acetamide solution. End-capped PAA solution was synthesized by the addition of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in PAA solution. PI/silica hybrid samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, differential thermogravimetry, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile tester. It has been demonstrated that the properties of hybrid samples were affected by the silica content and the bond type between PI and silica.

Methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃) thin films were grown at low temperatures on glass substrates via 3-zone chemical vapor deposition. Lead iodide (PbI₂) and lead bis (dipivaloylmethanate) [Pb(dpm)₂] precursors were used as lead sources. Due to the high sublimation temperature (~400℃) of the PbI₂ precursor, a low substrate temperature could not be constantly maintained. Therefore, MAPbI₃ thin films degraded into the PbI₂ phase. In contrast, for the Pb(dpm)₂ precursor, a substrate temperature of ~120℃ was maintained because the sublimation temperature of Pb(dpm)₂ is as low as 130℃ at a high vapor pressure. As a result, high-quality MAPbI₃ thin films were successfully grown on glass substrates using Pb(dpm)₂. The rms (root-mean-square) roughness of MAPbI₃ thin films formed from Pb(dpm)₂ was as low as ~19.2 nm, while it was ~22.7 nm for those formed using PbI₂. The grain size of the films formed from Pb(dpm)₂ was as large as approximately 350 nm.

Second-order nonlinear optical(NLO) materials have been extensively studied for applications in photonic devices, such as frequency doubling and electro-optical(EO) modulation, because of their large optical nonlinearity, excellent processibility, low dielectric constant, and high laser damage thresholds. The poling behaviour of NLO chromophore in organic/inorganic matrixes showed the randomization of poled NLO chromophore in the absence of poling Held. The liquid crystal molecules in a droplet showed a long-range orientational order along a director. Therefore, liquid crystal effects on poling behaviour of NLO chromophore dispersed in organically modified inorganic sol-gel materials were investigated. Using sol-gel process for the development of NLO material has received increasing attention, Organically modifked inorganic NLO sol-Eel materials are obtained via incorporation of the organic NLO active chromophore into an alkoxysilane based inorganic network. One of the most important thing in this works was that tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) and methyltrimathoxysilane(HTMS) were used as precursor followed by hydrolysis and condensation without using any acidic catalyst during the process. The NLO chromophores in the liquid crystal nanodomains were well mixed with I/O hybrid matrix, deposited on transparent ITO-coated glasses. The poling behaviour of liquid crystal effects of NLO chromophore dispersed in I/O hybrid matrix were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy. Size distribution and morphology of the NLO chromophores doped in the liquid crystal nanodomains dispersed in I/O hybrid matrix were investigated by SEM.

Inorganic pigments have high thermal stability and chemical resistance at high temperature. For these reasons, they are used in clay, paints, plastic, polymers, colored glass and ceramics. $CoAl_2O_4$ nano-powder was synthesized by reverse-micelle processing the mixed precursor(consisting of $Co(NO_3)_2$ and $Al(NO_3)_3$). The $CoAl_2O_4$ was prepared by mixing an aqueous solution at a Co:Al molar ratio of 1:2. The average particle size, and the particle-size distribution, of the powders synthesized by heat treatment (at 900; 1,000; 1,100; and $1,200^{\circ}C$ for 2h) were in the range of 10-20 nm and narrow, respectively. The average size of the synthesized nano-particles increased with increasing water-to-surfactant molar ratio. The synthesized $CoAl_2O_4$ powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and color spectrophotometry. The intensity of X-ray diffraction of the synthesized $CoAl_2O_4$ powder, increased with increasing heating temperature. As the heating temperature increased, crystal-size of the synthesized powder particles increased. As the R-value(water/surfactant) and heating temperature increased, the color of the inorganic pigments changed from dark blue-green to cerulean blue.

SiOC films were made using the oxygen and bistrimethylsilylmethane mixed precursor. The chemical properties of SiOC films divided into three properties, organic, hybrid and inorganic depending on the flow rate ratio between oxygen and bistrimethylsilylmethane precursor. The films with organic properties decreased dielectric constant, because of pore incorporation in final materials. In this study, the porosity of SiOC films with organic properties was investigated using the Makwell-Garnett equation. The porosity of the films could be correlated with the blue shift in the infrared spectra scopy, and increased with the decreasing the dielectric constant of the film.

A homogeneous and stoichimetric fine powder of the ferroelectric $Pb_[0.97}La_{0.02}(Zr_{0.64}Sn_{0.25}Ti_{0.11})O_3$ (PLZST) has been prepared by the hydroxide coprecipitation method. Studies on the crystallization behavior of precursor as a function of temperature by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy technique were consistent with the formation of the pyrochlore phase from amorphous, initially at low temperatures around 500~$550^{\circ}C$. Further heat treatment up to $750^{\circ}C$ resulted in development of the perovskite phase with no significant pyrochlore crystallite growth. At intermediate temperatures the precursor yields a fine mixture of pyrochlore and perovskite phases. When the pyrochlore phase was heat teated in air, slight weight increase was observed in the temperature range of 300~$700^{\circ}C$, which is thought to be caused from oxygen absorption. In argon atmosphere, weight increase was not observed. On the other hand, weight loss began to occur near $700^{\circ}C$, with giving off mostly CO2 gas. This implies that the pyrochlore phase seems to be crystallorgraphycally and thermodynamically metastable. An apparent activation energy of 53.9 ㎉/mol was estimated for the pyrochlore-perovskite phase transformation.
