Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were carbonized with or without iron (III) acetylacetonate to induce catalytic graphitization within the range of 900-1,500$^{circ}C$, resulting in ultrafine carbon fibers with a diameter of about 90-300 nm. Their structural properties and morphologies were investigated. The carbon nanofibers (CNF) prepared without a catalyst showed amorphous structures and very low surface areas of 22-31 $m^{2}$/g. The carbonization in the presence of the catalyst produced graphite nanofibers (GNF). The hydrogen storage capacities of these CNF and GNF materials were evaluated through the gravimetric method using magnetic suspension balance (MSB) at room temperature and 100 bar. The CNFs showed hydrogen storage capacities which increased in the range of 0.16-0.50 wt$\%$ with increasing carbonization temperature. The hydrogen storage capacities of the GNFs with low surface areas of 60-253 $m^{2}$/g were 0.14-1.01 wt$\%$. Micropore and mesopore, as calculated using the nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption isotherms, were not the effective pore for hydrogen storage.

The aim of this work was to select suitable fermentation treatments for the efficient bioconversion of cactus (Opuntia humifusa Raf.) bioactive components with an improved radical scavenging activity for use as a nutraceutical. To obtain microorganisms for the microbial conversion of cactus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC8294, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3099, Lactobacillus plantarum KERI 236 and Monascus pilosus KCCM 60029 (ATCC 22080) were used for fermentation. Fermentation by Lac. plantarum KCTC 3099 was the most effective at scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and reducing iron (III). In particular, uronic acid levels showed a remarkable increase in fermentation. The polyphenol and quercetin content of the fermented cactus showed large increases from $108.65{\mu}g/mL$ and $2.71{\mu}g/mL$ to $227.83{\mu}g/mL$ and $9.73{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, showing a maximum level at 36 h of fermentation with Lac. plantarum KCTC 3099. Thus, cactus fermentation with Lac. plantarum is an useful process for the enhancement of antioxidant contents and activity of fresh cactus.

Mechanochemical synthesis of zinc ferrite, $ZnFe_2O_4$, was attempted from a powder mixture of iron (III) oxide, alpha-$Fe_2O_3$ and zinc (II) oxide, ZnO. Nanocrystalline zinc ferrite, $ZnFe_2O_4$ powders were successfully synthesized only bymilling for 30 hours. Evidence of the $ZnFe_2O_4$ formation was absent for the powders milled for 10 and 20 hours; the milling lowered the crystallinity of the starting materials. Heating after milling enhanced the formation of $ZnFe_2O_4$, crystal growth of $ZnFe_2O_4$ and the unreacted starting materials. The unreacted starting materials decreased their amounts by heating at higher temperatures.

Hot filament 플라즈마 화학기상 증착법(HFPECVD)를 사용하여 질산화철의 농도에 따른 탄소나노튜브의 성장 특성을 관찰하기 위해 실험을 진행하였다. 암모니아($NH_3$)를 희석가스로 사용하였고, 아세틸렌($C_2H_2$)를 탄소 원료가스로 각각 사용하였다. 암모니아 가스 플라즈마를 사용하여 전처리 된 질산화철 촉매층의 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) 이미지를 관찰하여 본 결과, 나노 사이즈의 촉매 그레인(grain)을 발견할 수 있었다. 그리고 탄소 나노튜브의 직경과 성장 밀도 또한 전처리 된 촉매 층에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy)를 사용하여 탄소나노튜브를 관찰한 결과 bamboo 구조를 한 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브(MWCNT)를 관찰할 수 있었다.

The activation of Mg-10 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ was completed after one hydriding-dehydriding cycle. Activated Mg-10 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ absorbed 5.54 wt% H for 60 min at 593 K under 12 bar $H_2$, and desorbed 1.04 wt% H for 60 min at 593 K under 1.0 bar $H_2$. The effect of the reactive grinding on the hydriding and dehydriding rates of Mg was weak. The reactive grinding of Mg with $Fe_2O_3$ is believed to increase the $H_2$-sorption rates by facilitating nucleation (by creating defects on the surface of the Mg particles and by the additive), by making cracks on the surface of Mg particles and reducing the particle size of Mg and thus by shortening the diffusion distances of hydrogen atoms. The added $Fe_2O_3$ and the $Fe_2O_3$ pulverized during mechanical grinding are considered to help the particles of magnesium become finer. Hydriding-dehydriding cycling is also considered to increase the $H_2$-sorption rates of Mg by creating defects and cracks and by reducing the particle size of Mg.

The charge transfer compounds $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH,\;(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$ were prepared from reactions of the TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) and metal halides. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic (UV,IR, EPR and XPS) methods, magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity measurements. The d.c electrical conductivities of the pressed pellets are in the order of $10^{-1}-10^{-3} Scm^{-1}$, which lies in the range of semiconductor region at room temperature. It means that the partially ionized TTF has stacked in low-dimensional chain in each compound. Spectroscopic properties also indicate that TTF molecules are partially ionized and charge transfer has occurred from (TTF)n to Fe(III) center in $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH$ whereas to the $-SbX_4^-$ entity in $(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$. The EPR g values are consistent with TTF radical formation and EPR linewidths suggest the delocalization of unpaired electrons along TTF stacks. A signal arised from metal (Fe and Sb) ions were not detected in EPR spectra, indicating that metal ion is in the diamagnetic state in each compound. The diamagnetic state was also examined by the magnetic susceptibility measurement. The magnetic properties reveal the significant interaction between the $TTF^+$ radical cations in the stacks. The oxidation state of metal ions was also investigated by XPS spectra.

The preparation of nanocrystalline hematite, ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, paricles and their surface coating with silica layers are described. The hematite particles with the size of 30~60 nm are firstly prepared by thermal decomposition of trinuclear acetate-hydroxo iron (III) nitrate complex, $[Fe_3$(OCOCH_3)_7$OH${\cdot}$2H_2O]NO_3$, at $400^{\circ}C$. Subsequently the hematite surfaces are coated with siliva layers by a controlled hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TEOS with varying the TEOS concentration and pH. Monodispersed and spherical $SiO_2-coatedFe_2O_3$ particles with the average particle diameter of ~90 nm and extremely narrow size distribution can be obtained at the pH of 11 and the TEOS concentration of 0.68M, which are found to be the optimum conditions in the present study in achieving the homogeneous deposition of silica layers on hematite surfaces. Diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra reveal that the characteristic optical reflectance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles is preserved almost constant even after coating the surfaces, suggesting that the $SiO_2$ layers can be regarded as protecting layers without degrading the optical properties of hematite particles.

Prussian blue (PB) is known to be an effective material for radioactive cesium adsorption, but its nano-range size make it difficult to be applied for contaminated water remediation. In this study, a simple and versatile approach to immobilize PB in the supporting matrix via surface functionalization was investigated. The commercially available poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge was functionalized by acrylic acid (AA) to change its major functional group from hydroxyl to carboxylic, which provides a stronger ionic bond with PB. The amount of AA added was optimized by evaluating the weight change rate and iron(III) ion adsorption test. The FTIR results revealed the surface functional group changing to a carboxyl group. The surface functionalization enhanced the attachment of PB, which minimized the leaching out of PB. The $Cs^+$ adsorption capacity significantly increased due to surface functionalization from 1.762 to 5.675 mg/g. These findings showed the excellent potential of the PB-PAA-PVA sponge as a cesium adsorbent as well as a versatile approach for various supporting materials containing the hydroxyl functional group.

높은 산화상태를 갖는 철화합물인 ferrate(Fe$^{6+}$)를 Cu(II)-EDTA가 오염된 폐수를 처리하는데 적용하였다. Fe(VI)는 3가 철염에 차아염소산을 가하여 습식 산화시키는 방법을 적용하여 제조하였으며 93% 이상의 순도를 얻을 수 있었다. 용액에서의 Fe(VI)의 안정성은 pH가 낮을수록 자체분해반응이 가속화됨으로써 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 자외선-가시광선 분광광도계를 사용하여 Fe(VI)의 환원정도를 측정하였다. 실험실규모의 연속회분식 반응장치를 Cu(II)-EDTA 함유 폐수처리에 적용함으로서 Cu(II)-EDTA의 산화특성, Fe(III)에 대한 구리이온의 거동 특성 그리고 유기물의 제거능을 조사하였다. 연속처리를 위한 반응조 및 pH 조정조에서 총 구리의 제거는 체류시간 120분에서 각각 69% 및 75%로서 최대 제거율을 보였으며 체류시간 120분 경과 후 Cu(II)-EDTA의 비착물화 정도는 80% 이상을 보였다. 본 연구를 통하여 Fe(VI)를 다기능성 처리제로서 사용하여 Cu(II)와 EDTA가 함께 존재하는 폐수를 연속적으로 처리하는 공정을 개발하였다.
