F-containing $TiO_2$ nanopowders are synthesized using simple wet processes (precipitation-based and hydrothermal) from ammonium hexafluorotitanate (AHFT, $(NH_4)_2TiF_6$) as a precursor to apply as a photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). The surface properties of the prepared samples are evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results confirm that the synthesized anatase $TiO_2$ has sphere-like shapes, with numerous small nanoparticles containing fluorine on the surface. The photocatalytic activity of F-containing $TiO_2$ compared with F-free $TiO_2$ is characterized by measuring the degradation of RhB using a xenon lamp. The photocatalytic degradation of F-containing $TiO_2$ exhibits improved photocatalytic activity, based on the positive effects of adsorbed F ions on the surface.

콘크리트는 장기간 사용환경에 노출되면서 다양한 표면열화과정을 거친다. 실리케이트 기반 함침제는 콘크리트 표면에 적용되어 불용성 수화물을 형성하는데, 이 과정에서 다양한 공학적 장점을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 분산형 실리케이트를 사용하여 표면의 내구성능을 강화하고 이후 광촉매를 분무함으로서 표면 함침된 콘크리트의 자기정화능력을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 실리케이트 함침 콘크리트에 대하여 압축강도 뿐 아니라, 흡수성, 건조 수축, 염소이온저항성, 황산저항성, 동결융해 저항성 등과 같은 내구성 실험이 수행되었다. 또한 아세트 알데이드 및 메틸렌블루 반응 평가를 통하여 독성카스의 제거와 자기정화성능을 평가하였다. 실리케이트 함침 후 광촉매 도포를 함으로서 광촉매의 부착성을 확보할 수 있었으며, 콘크리트의 내구성 개선과 광촉매 고유의 정화성능을 유지할 수 있었다.

산화티탄은 가장 많이 연구된 반도체 산화물로 환경 정화와 에너지 생산에 응용이 크게 기대되고 있다. 공기와 물 속의 유해 유기물을 제거하고 물분해를 통한 수소 생산은 대표적인 응용 분야이다. 산화티탄의 저렴한 가격, 낮은 독성, 화학적 및 열적 안정성은 잘 알려진 장점이다. 그러나, 산화티탄의 단점은 가시광 영역에서 광촉매 활성이 낮다는 점이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 귀금속, 금속, 양이온, 음이온 도핑 방법으로 산화티탄의 표면과 전기적 구조를 변형시켜 가시광 영역에서 광촉매 활성을 높이기 위한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 이번 총설에서는 산화티탄의 가시광 감응을 유도하는 방법에 대한 광범위한 정보를 정리하였다.

본 연구에서는 보다 효율적인 광 전기화학적 수소제조를 위하여 광촉매로써 산화텅스텐에 티타늄을 함침하여 $Ti/WO_3$ 나노입자를 제조하였다. 제조한 $Ti/WO_3$의 물리적 특성은 X-선 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 발광분광계(PL), 원자간력 현미경(AFM), 정전기 현미경(EFM)을 통해 확인하였다. 메탄올/물 (1/1) 광분해 수소제조 실험 결과, 순수 아나타제 티타니아나 산화텅스텐 광촉매보다 $Ti/WO_3$ 광촉매에서 촉매활성이 향상되었으며, 0.5 g의 0.10 mol % $Ti/WO_3$ 촉매를 사용한 경우 8시간 반응 시 3.02 mL의 수소가 발생되었다.

To improve surface wettability, each sample was treated by atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system. Argon and oxygen gases were used for treatment gas to modify the $TiO_2$ surface by APP with RF power range from 50 to 200 W. Water contact angle was decreased from $20^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ with argon only. However, water contact angle was decreased from $20^{\circ}$ to < $1^{\circ}$ with mixture of argon and oxygen. Water contact angle with $O_2$ plasma was lower than water contact angle with Ar plasma at the same RF power. It seems to be increasing the polar force of $TiO_2$ surface. Also, analysis result of X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) shows the increase of intensity of O1s shoulder peak, resulting in increasing of surface wettability by APP. Moreover, each water contact angle increased according to increase past time. However, contact angle increase with plasma treatment was lower than without plasma treatment. Additionally, the efficiency of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst was improved by plasma surface-treatment through the degradation experiment of phenol

Titanium dioxide films $(TiO_2)$ doped cobalt transition metal were prepared on titanium metal by water spray pyrolysis technique. Micro-morphology, crystalline structure, chemical composition and binding state of sample groups were evaluated using field emission scanning microscope(FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), Raman spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer(XPS). $TiO_2$ films of rutile structure were predominately formed on all sample groups and $Ti_2O_3$ oxide was coexisted on the surface of cobalt doped-sample groups. The optical absorption peaks measured by using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer were observed at specific wavelength region in sample groups doped cobalt ion. This result could be analyzed by introducing crystal field theory.

The formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/$TiO_2$-based nanotube (TNTs) composite are investigated. The CNT/TNT composite is synthesized via a solution chemical route. It is confirmed that this 1-D nanotube composite has a core-shell nanotubular structure, where the TNT surrounds the CNT core. The photocatalytic activity investigated based on the methylene blue degradation test is superior to that of with pure TNT. The CNTs play two important roles in enhancing the photocatalytic activity. One is to act as a template to form the core-shell structure while titanate nanosheets are converted into nanotubes. The other is to act as an electron reservoir that facilitates charge separation and electron transfer from the TNT, thus decreasing the electron-hole recombination efficiency.

Research was performed to increase the efficiency of a plasma reactor for $H_2$ yield. In the preceding studies $H_2$ was increased by adding Ni as a transitional metal catalyst and $TiO_2$ as a photocatalyst. In these experiments, it was found that distilled water, discharge frequency, and electrode configuration had a significant impact on $H_2$ generation. A substantial amount of hydrogen yield was observed at 2 kHz of discharge frequency and 12 kV of applied voltage. Within this favorable discharge conditions, the weight rate of $TiO_2$ and Ni powders was investigated. Plasma phenomenon was measured by electrical, optical and acoustical devices. It was found that emitted light, electric current and acoustical signals acquired from the discharge demonstrated systematical correlation. Changing the electrode's configuration allowed discharge distribution along the perimeter of the electrode's tip, which increased the density of streamers and plasma energy loadings, as the value of inception voltage for the discharge propagation decreased.

Photocatalytic green energy H2 production utilizing inexhaustible solar energy has been considered as a potential solution to problems of energy scarcity and environmental contamination. However, the design of a cost-effective photocatalyst using simple synthesis methodology is still a grand challenge. Herein, a low-cost transition metal, Cu-loaded one-dimensional TiO2 nanorods (Cu/TNR) were fabricated using an easy-to-use synthesis methodology for significant H2 production under simulated solar light. X-ray photoelectron spectral studies and electron microscopy measurements provide evidence to support the successful formation of the Cu/TNR catalyst under our experimental conditions. UV-vis DRS studies further demonstrate that introducing Cu on the surface of TNR substantially increases light absorption in the visible range. Notably, the Cu/TNR catalyst with optimum Cu content, achieved a remarkable H2 production with a yield of 39,239 µmol/g after 3 h of solar light illumination, representing 7.4- and 27.7-fold enhancements against TNR and commercial P25, respectively. The notably improved H2 evolution activity of the target Cu/TNR catalyst was primarily attributed to its excellent separation and efficiently hampered recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs. The Cu/TNR catalyst is, therefore, a potential candidate for photocatalytic green energy applications.
