Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), in order to make $TiO_2$ effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced $TiO_2$ was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced $TiO_2$ was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified $TiO_2$, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L $min^{-1}$). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

The $Ag/TiO_{2-x}N_x$ nanoparticles were synthesized by photochemical deposition in a $TiO_{2-X}N_X$ suspension system. The prepared products were characterized by means of XRD, Uv-vis and photoluminescence spectra (PL). Its photocatalytic activity was investigated by the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) solution under illumination of visible and ultraviolet light, respectively. Compared to $TiO_{2-x}N_x$, the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared $Ag/TiO_{2-x}N_x$ is obviously enhanced due to the decreasing recombination of a photoexcitated electron-hole pairs. The Mechanism in which photocatalytic activity is enhanced has been discussed in detail.

본 연구에서는 Mg을 첨가한 Cu-alloy에 의해 TiN의 확산방지능력을 향상시키고자 하였다. Cu(Mg) 박막은 대기노출시킨 TiN박막위에 증착되었으며 열처리시 Cu 박막내의 Mg은 TiN의 표면에 있는 산소와 반응하여 매우 얇은(~100 $\AA$) MgO를 형성하게되고 MgO에 의해 TiN의 확산방지능력은 Cu(4.5 at.%Mg)의 경우 $800^{\circ}C$까지 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 Cu(Mg) a]toy는 TiN위에서 접착특성이 좋지 않기 때문에 TiN을 $O_2$plasma 처리하였으며 $O_2$ plasma 처리후 $300^{\circ}C$ 진공열처리를 통해 접착력이 크게 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 $O_2$ plasma 처리에 의해 TiN표면에 Mg과 반응할 수 있는 산소의 양이 증가하는 데 기인하며 이에 따라 Mg의 계면이동이 크게 증가되어 치밀한 MgO가 형성됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 $O_2$ plasma 처리시 RF power를 증가시키면 계면으로 이동하는 Mg의 양이 오히려 감소하였고 이것은 TiN의 표면이 $TiO_2$로 변하여 Mg과 결합할 수 있는 산소의 양이 상대적으로 감소하였기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 또한 접착층으로서 Si을 50$\AA$ 증착하여 접착력을 크게 향상시켰으며 Si 증착에 의한 TiN의 확산방지능력은 감소되지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A visible light responsive N, Mo co-doped $TiO_2$ were prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction, TEM, $N_2$ adsorption, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared $TiO_2$ samples. Doping restrained the phase transformation from anatase to rutile and reduced the particle sizes. The band gap was much narrowed after N, Mo co-doping. The photocatalytic activities were tested in the degradation of an aqueous solution of a reactive dyestuff, methylene blue, under visible light. The photocatalytic activities of doped $TiO_2$ were much higher than that of neat $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic stability of N, Mo co-doped $TiO_2$ was much better than that of N doped $TiO_2$.

Nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ ($TiO_2$:N) nano-particles with a pure anatase crystalline structure were successfully synthesized through the hydrolysis of $TiCl_4$ in an ammonia aqueous solution. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), $N_2$-sorption, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) techniques. The absorption edge of nitrogen-doped $TiO_2$ shifted into the visible wavelength region. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performances were investigated for the $TiO_2$ mesoporous electrodes doped with different nitrogen concentrations. The $TiO_2$:N electrodes exhibited much higher PEC responses compared to the pure $TiO_2$ electrode because of the significantly enhanced visible-photoresponsibility of the $TiO_2$:N electrodes.

We made attempts to improve photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under visible light exposure by combining two additional treatments. N-doping of $TiO_2$ by ammonia gas treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ increased absorbance of visible light. By coating thin film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and subsequent vacuum-annealing at $800^{\circ}C$, $TiO_2$, became more hydrophilic, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$. Four types of $TiO_2$ samples were prepared, bare-$TiO_2$, hydrophilic-modified $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/TiO_2$), N-doped $TiO_2$ ($N/TiO_2$) and hydrophilic-modified and N-doped $TiO_2$ ($h-PDMS/N/TiO_2$). Adsorption capability was evaluated under dark condition and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ was evaluated by photodegradation of MB under blue LED (400 nm< ${\lambda}$) irradiation. N-doping on $TiO_2$ was characterized using XPS and hydrophilic modification of $TiO_2$ surface was analyzed by FT-IR spectrometer. It was found that N-doping and hydrophilic modification both had positive effect on enhancing adsorption capability and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ at the same time. Particularly, N-doping enhanced visible light absorption of $TiO_2$, whereas hydrophilic surface modification increased MB adsorption capacity. By combining these two strategies, photocatalytic acitivity under visible light irradiation became the sum of individual effects of N-doping and hydrophilic modification.

$Al_2$$O_3$ coatings were deposited on M2 high speed steels by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process, using a gas mixture of AlC1$_3$, $H_2$, $CO_2$ and Ar $Al_2$$O_3$ coatings had interference color and showed amorphous phase. $A1_2$X$A1_3$/($Ti_{0.5}$ /$Al_{0.5}$ )N double layer coatings were produced in the sequence of substrate $NH_3$ plasma pretreatment, ($Ti_{0.5}$$Al_{0.5}$)N depoition process, $Al_2$$O_3$ deposition process. $Al_2$ $O_3$/( $Ti_{0.5}$A $l_{0.5}$)N double layer coatings showed NaCl structure in ( $Ti_{0.5}$A $l_{0.5}$)N layer and amorphous phase in A1$_2$ $O_3$ layer. It was shown that $Al_2$ $O_3$ columns continuously grew onto ( $Ti_{0.5}$A $l_{0.5}$)N columns. ( $Ti_{0.5}$A $l_{0.5}$)N single coating and $Al_2$ $O_3$/( $Ti_{0.5}$A $l_{0.5}$)N double layer coating were oxidized at $700^{\circ}C$, 80$0^{\circ}C$, 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, 3hr in atmosphere.

N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids were successfully prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the N-doped $TiO_2$ microcuboids enhanced absorption in the visible light region, and exhibited higher activity for photocatalytic degradation of model dyes. Based on the experimental results, a visible light induced photocatalytic mechanism was proposed for N-doped anatase $TiO_2$ microcuboids.

열산화막으로 성장시킨 TiO₂/Ti에 70kev의 에너지로 N/sup +/ion 주입을 하고 이때 도우즈 범위를 0, 2, 5, 10×10/sup 17//cm²로 실시하였다. 한편, 이온주입에 따른 표면손상의 회복을 위해 각각 600℃∼2 hr동안 Ar분위기에서 실시하였다. N/sup +/ 도우즈 앙과 열처리에 따라 TiO₂ 색변화, 표면조도, 경도변화를 확인하여 의장용 재료로서의 Ti의 새로운 발색 가능성을 확인하였다. 기존 티타늄 산화층에 N/sup +/ 이온을 주입한 결과 도우즈 증가에 따라 갈색위주의 색변화가 가능하였고, 광택을 나타내는 표면조도는 열처리에 의해서 개선이 가능하였다. 한편 이온주입에 따른 경도는 열처리에 의해 10% 정도 향상이 가능하였다.

$TEMAT/H_2$플라즈마를 이용하여 $TiO_{2\pm}{\delta}$를 증착하였다. Power를 300W에서 500W로 증가시켜 고 밀도 플라즈마를 형성시킨 경우에는 Ti 함유량이 크게 증가하였고, 무시할 정도의 C, N이 함유되었다. 기판에 bias를 가한 경우에도 Ti 양이 증가되면서, 증착률이 크게 증가되었다. 또한 매우 적은 양의 $H_2O(~10^{-4}Torr)$는 TEAMT[tetrakis (ethylmethylamido) titanium] 분해를 효율적으로 이루어 주어 C, N의 양을 크게 감소시키면서 $TiO_2$에 요구되는 충분한 O을 제공하였다. 결과적으로 플라즈마 반응에 의하여 생성된 Ti 양이온이 TiOx 박막형성에 주요한 기여를 하고 있으며, 고 밀도 플라즈마의 사용은 Ti 양이온 생성을 크게 증가시켜 주고, 분위기 중에 존재하는 미량의 수분이 TEMAT 분해 효율성을 크게 하여 $TiO_2$박막증착을 이루고 있다.
