$ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ 수용액과 $NH_4OH$ 수용액을 반응시켜 얻은 지르코니아 수화물을 반응조건으로 100∼250$^{\circ}$C, 1∼48시간과 1, 5 M NaOH 수용액에서 수열합성하여 결정형 나노크기의 지르코니아 분말을 제조하였다. 수열합성 온도가 낮을 경우 구형의 정방정상 나노입자가 합성되었으며, 합성온도가 증가하면서 입자크기의 증가 및 입자모양도 막대상으로 변하면서 결정상도 단사정상을 나타내었다. NaOH 용액의 몰 농도가 증가함에 따라 합성된 입자의 폭과 길가 크며 장단축비는 감소하였다. 반면에 NaOH 용액의 농도가 낮을 경우 입자 길이가 폭에 비해 상대적으로 크고, 이에 따라 장단축비가 큰 막대상 입자가 합성되었다.

Mg and its alloys have been of great interest because of their low density of 1.7, 30% lighter than Al, but their wide applications have been limited because of their poor resistances against corrosion and/or abrasion. Corrosion resistance of Mg alloys can be improved by formation of anodic films using anodic oxidation method in aqueous electrolytes. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is one of anodic oxidation methods by which hard anodic films can be formed as a result of micro-arc generation under high electric field. PEO method utilize not only substrate elements but also chemical components in electrolytes to form anodic films on Mg alloys. PEO films formed on AM50 magnesium alloy in an acidic fluozirconate electrolyte were observed to consist of mainly $ZrO_2$ and $MgF_2$. Liu et al reported that PEO coating on AM30 Mg alloy consists of $MgF_2$-rich outer porous layer and an MgO-rich dense inner layer. PEO films prepared on ACM522 Mg die-casting alloy in an aqueous phosphate solution were also reported to be composed of monoclinic $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$. $CeO_2$-incorporated PEO coatings were also reported to be formed on AZ31 Mg alloys in $CeO_2$ particle-containing $Na_2SiO_3$-based electrolytes. Magnesium tin hydroxide ($MgSn(OH)_6$) was also produced on AZ91D alloy by PEO process in stannate-containing electrolyte. Effects of $OH^-$, $F^-$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$ and $SiO{_3}^{2-}$ ions and alloying elements of Al and Sn on the formation of PEO films on pure Mg and Mg alloys and their protective properties against corrosion have been investigated in this work. $PO{_4}^{3-}$, $F^-$ and $SiO{_3}^{2-}$ ions were observed to contribute to the formation of PEO films but $OH^-$ ions were found to break down the surface films under high electric field. The effect of pulse current on the formation of PEO films will be also reported.

Although a lot of studies in fracture toughness of Y-TZP ceramics for structural applications have been done, it remains an important challenge to be able to improve fracture toughness of Y-TZP ceramics. In this research, milling method adding monoclinic zirconia and $Al_2O_3$ to 3Y-TZP was introduced to improve the fracture toughness of 3Y-TZP. Experimental results showed that addition of small amount of $Al_2O_3$ causes to make lots of oxygen vacancies (VO) by substituting $Al^{3+}$ for $Zr^{4+}$. It is believed that the produced vacancies provides useful routes far mass transfer. Y-TZP ceramics having higher microhardness and better fracture toughness was fabricated by sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$.

Ceria(CeO2) stabilized zirconia(CeSZ) sol was synthesized with zirconium n-butoxide Zr(OC4H9)4 and cerium nitrate hexahydrate Ce(NO3)3.6H2O as precursors and ethylacetoacetate(EAcAc) as a chelating agent under atmosphere. CeSZ films were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel using the prepared polymeric sol by dipcoating and the coating characteristics were investigated by XRD, ellipsometry, scratch test and SEM. The CeSZ film began to crystallize from amorphous to tetragonal phase at 40$0^{\circ}C$ and it was not converted into monoclinic phase up to 100$0^{\circ}C$ by the addition of 16mol% CeO2 as a stabilizer which could suppress phase transformation of zirconia. The CeSZ films were prepared by varying the EAcAc contents and the cncentration of CeSZ sol and measured the thickness and refractive index. From these results, it was found that the EAcAc contents and concentration of CeSZ coating sol evidently affect the densification of CeSZ film. The CeSZ film coated with 0.4M CeSZ sol and heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 10min had thickness of 50nm and 17% porosity. The CeSZ film on 304 stainless steel effectively acted as a protective layer against oxidation up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ and had superior corrosion resistance in 25% H2SO4 solution for 4.5 hrs.

고체 산화물 연료전지의 전해질로 주로 사용되는 8mol.%$Y_2$$O_3$-$ZrO_2$는 전기 전도성은 우수하나 기계적 특성이 좋지 못하므로, 전기적 특성과 기계적 특성이 동시에 우수한 고체산화물 연료전지의 전해질의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 두 가지 요구조건을 충족시키기 위해서 수행되어졌다. 단위전지의 공기극 재료인 LSM(La(sub)0.75Sr(sub)0.25MnO$_3$) 기판과 Si wafer를 기판으로 기계적 성질이 우수한 3mol.%의 YSZ(3-YSZ)와 전기 전도성이 우수한 8mol.%의 YSZ(8-YSZ)를 각각 단층 및 다층 박막의 네 가지 형태로 전자빔 코팅에 의해 전해질 막을 제작하였다. 박막층의 분석결과, 결정조직은 증착된 3-YSZ 박막의 정방정 및 일부 단사정 구조, 8-YSZ 박막은 입방정 구조의 결정성이 나타났다. 단층막 보다 다층막이 낮은 내부 응력을 보였으며, 다층막이 기존의 8-YSZ 단층막의 열처리 전, 후와 비슷한 미세 경도 값을 보였다.

Solar thermal reactor was studied for hydrogen production with a two step thermochemical cycle including T-R(Thermal Reduction) step and W-D(Water Decomposition) step. NiFe2O4 and Fe3O4 supported by monoclinic ZrO2 were used as a catalyst device and Ni powder was used for decreasing the T-R step reaction temperature. Maintaining a temperature level of about $1100^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$, for 2-step thermochemical reaction, is important for obtaining maximum performance of hydrogen production. The controller was designed for adjusting high temperature solar thermal energy heating the foam-device coated with nickel- ferrite powder. A Pill temperature control system was designed based on 2-step thermochemical reaction experiment data(measured concentrated solar radiation and the temperature of foam device during experiment). The cycle repeated 5 times, ferrite conversion rate are 4.49~29.97% and hydrogen production rate is 0.19~1.54mmol/g-ferrite. A temperature controller was designed for increasing the number of reaction cycles related with the amount of produced hydrogen.

The present work aims to fabricate Na_1+xZr₂Si_xP_3-xO₁₂ compound at various calcination temperatures based on the zircon mineral. The fabricated compound was calcinated at 250, 500, and 1000℃. The effect of calcination temperature on the structure, crystal phase, and radiation shielding properties was studied for the fabricated compound. The X-ray diffraction diffractometer demonstrates that, the monoclinic crystal phase appeared at a calcination temperature of 250℃ and 500℃ is totally transformed to a high-symmetry hexagonal crystal phase under a calcination temperature of 1000℃. The radiation shielding capacity was also qualified for the fabricated compounds using the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code in the g-photons energy interval between 15keV and 122keV. The impacts of calcination temperature on the g-ray shielding behavior were clarified in the present study, where the linear attenuation coefficient was enhanced by 218% at energy of 122keV, when the calcination temperature increased from 250 to 1000℃, respectively.
