The most general photocatalyst, $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$, are acknowledged to be ineffective in range of visible light. Therefore, many efforts have been directed at improving their activity such as: band-gap narrowing with non-metal element doping and making composites with high specific surface area to effectively separate electrons and holes. In this paper, the method was introduced to prepare a photo-active catalyst to visible irradiation by making a mixture with $TiO_2$ and $WO_3$. In the $TiO_2-WO_3$ composite, $WO_3$ absorbs visible light creating excited electrons and holes while some of the excited electrons move to $TiO_2$ and the holes remain in $WO_3$. This charge separation reduces electron-hole recombination resulting in an enhancement of photocatalytic activity. Added Ag plays the role of electron acceptor, retarding the recombination rate of excited electrons and holes. In making a mixture of $TiO_2-WO_3$ composite, the mixing route affects the photocatalytic activity. The planetary ball-mill method is more effective than magnetic stirring route, owing to a more effective dispersion of aggregated powders. The volume ratio of $TiO_2(4)$ and $WO_3(6)$ shows the most effective photocatalytic activity in the range of visible light in the view point of effective separation of electrons and holes.

본 연구에서 쉽고 빠른 마이크로 조사법을 사용하여 합성한 $Cu_2Se$-그래핀 나노복합체를 광촉매 분해 효과를 연구하였다. 제조된 나노복합체는 XRD, SEM, TEM, 라만분광분석, XPS 및 UV-Vis 흡수분광법을 사용하여 특성화하였다. 그리고 광촉매 분해특성을 가시광선 조사하에 표준염료인 로다민 B의 분해를 통하여 연구하였다. $Cu_2Se$-그래핀 복합체는 상당히 우수한 광촉매 분해 효과를 나타내었고, 이는 180 min 동안 가시광선 조사하에서 약 95%의 분해 효과를 나타내고 있음을 이들 결과로부터 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 $Cu_2Se$-그래핀 복합체는 염료 오염물질에 대한 적합한 촉매로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The degradation of one of the commercially important hydrogel based on acrylic acid and acryl amide, (acrylic acid-co-acryl amide) hydrogels, by means of ultrasound irradiation and its combination with heterogeneous ($TiO_2$) was investigated. 24 kHz of ultrasound irradiation was provided by a sonicator, while an ultraviolet source of 16 W was used for UV irradiation. The extent of sonolytic degradation increased with increasing ultrasound power (in the range 30-80 W). $TiO_2$ sonophotocatalysis led to complete (acrylic acid-co-acryl amide) hydrogels degradation with increasing catalyst loading, while, the presence of $TiO_2$ in the dark generally had little effect on degradation. Therefore, emphasis was totally on the sonolytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of hydrogels and a synergy effect was calculated for combined degradation procedures (Ultrasound and Ultraviolet) in the presence of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. $TiO_2$ sonophotocatalysis was always faster than the respective individual processes due to the enhanced formation of reactive radicals as well as the possible ultrasound-induced increase of the active surface area of the catalyst. A kinetics model based on viscosity data was used for estimation of degradation rate constants at different conditions and a negative order for the dependence of the reaction rate on total molar concentration of (acrylic acid-co-acryl amide) hydrogels solution within the degradation process was suggested.

황칠원액을 에탄올로 추출한 황칠의 essential oil을 올레핀 메타테시스(olefin metathesis) 반응의 하나인 ROMP(ring opening metathesis polymerization)법을 이용하여 경화 반응을 수행하였으며, 자연 경화 및 UV 광경화법의 경화 특성 및 경화된 필름의 물성에 대해서 비교 연구하였다. 경화 전후의 황칠의 조성 변화에 대해서 가스 크로마토그래피 질량분석법(GC-MS, gas chromatography mass spectrometry)을 통해 연구하였으며, ROMP법에 의해 경화된 필름의 겔 함량(gel contents, 40%)은 자연 경화(8%)나 UV 광경화법(25%)에 비해 높은 값을 보여주었다. $100^{\circ}C$의 온도 및 2 wt%의 Grubbs' catalyst 조건에서 ROMP 경화반응은 2 h 이내의 경화 반응이 완료되어 자연 경화에 비해 비교적 빠른 경화 속도를 보여주었으며, UV 광경화법에 비해 주름이 없으며 외관상 균일한 도막이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 또한 기존에 경화반응에 참여하는 것으로 알려져 있는 폴리아세틸렌계 성분 이외에 sesquiterpene류인 ${\alpha}$-selinene, ${\beta}$-selinene, ${\delta}$-cadinene 등도 ROMP 경화 반응에 참여함을 확인하였다.

The nanosized $TiO_2$ photocatalysts were prepared by the hydrolysis of $TiCl_4$ and calcined at different temperatures. The resulting materials were characterized by TGA, DSC, XRD, and TEM testing techniques. XRD, TEM, and BET measurements indicated that the particle size of $TiO_2$ was increased with rise of calcination temperature and surface area was decreased with rise of it. The prepared $TiO_2$ photocatalysts were used for the photocatalytic degradation of congo red. The effects of calcination temperature, $TiO_2$ loading, the initial concentration of congo red, and usage frequencies were investigated and the rate constants were determined by regressing the experimental data. Calcination is an effective treatment to increase the photo activity of nanosized $TiO_2$ photocatalysts resulting from the improvement of crystallinity. The optimum calcination temperature of the catalyst for the efficient degradation of congo red was found to be $400^{\cric}C$. The rate constant was decreased with increase in the initial concentration of congo red and increased with increase in the $TiO_2$ loading. In the case of $TiO_2$ photocatalysts, the photocatalytic activity wasn't greatly affected by the usage frequencies.

This study evaporates TiO$_2$ layer thickness differently with RF sputtering method on Si Wafer(n-100). Thin film is made with the structure of Si+TiO$_2$ and Si+TiO$_2$+Al by evaporating TiN which is used as Antireflection of superintegrated semiconductor integrated circuit with Photo Catalyst. The research is performed to increase the characteristics of photon energy according to TiO$_2$ thickness and the reliability and reproducibility of TiO$_2$ thin film. Reversal of electric Permittivity values is induced by dipole polarization shown in the dielectric of thin film. Complex electric constant ($\varepsilon$$_1$, $\varepsilon$$_2$) has larger peak values as it's thickness is thinner and then it is larger according to the increase of frequency. Electric Permittivity by photon energy has large value in imaginary number and is reduced exponentially by the increase of carrier density according to that of photon energy.

A CNT-$TiO_2$ nano composite was prepared from titanium chloride ($TiCl_4$) via sol-gel process using multi walled carbon nano tube (MWCNT) followed by calcination at $450^{\circ}C$. Spectral analysis revealed that the formed $TiO_2$ resided on the carbon in anatase form. The effect of adsorption was investigated using aqueous solution of methylene blue and procion blue dye. The photochemical reaction of CNT-$TiO_2$ composite in aqueous suspensions was studied under UV illumination in batch process. The reaction was investigated by monitoring the discoloration of the dyes employing UV-Visible spectro-photometeric technique as a function of irradiation time. The catalyst composites were found to be efficient for the photodegradation of the dye.

TiO₂ is a versatile metal oxide material that is frequently used as a photo-catalyst for organic pollutant oxidation and a functional material for ultraviolet-ray protection. To improve its chemical/physical properties and widen the range of industrial application, it is demanded to control the crystalline feature and morphology precisely by applying advanced nano-synthesis methods. In this study, we prepared TiO₂ nanoparticles using the water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion method and compared them with the particles synthesized by the conventional precipitation method. Also, we tried to find the optimum conditions for obtaining nano-sized, anatase-rich TiO₂ particles by the W/O microemulsion method. We analyzed the crystalline feature and particle size of the prepared samples using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In summary, we found the W/O microemulsion is more effective than precipitation in obtaining nano-sized TiO₂. The best result was derived when the microemulsion was formed using AOT surfactant, hydrolysis was performed under basic condition and the sample was calcined at 200℃.
