The synthesis and characterization of catalysts supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). $Pt/Au/TiO_2$ is added to a CNTs(cabon nano tube) carbon support to improve the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell. XRD and SEM showed that uniform anatase $TiO_2$ and Pt/Au particles were about 200 nm and 20${\sim}$25 nm in diameter. The composite catalyst activities were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), demonstrating that it is more promising for use in fuel cells.

Pt has been widely used as catalyst for fuel cell and exhausted gas clean systems due to its high catalytic activity. Recently, there have been researches on fabricating composite materials of Pt as a method of reducing the amount of Pt due to its high price. One of the approaches for saving Pt used as catalyst is a core shell structure consisting of Pt layer on the core of the non-noble metal. In this study, the synthesis of Pt shell was conducted on the surface of $TiO_2$ particle, a non-noble material, by applying ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Anatase $TiO_2$ particles with the average size of 20~30 nm were immersed in the ethanol dissolved with Pt precursor of $H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}6H_2O$ and exposed to UV irradiation with the wavelength of 365 nm. It was confirmed that Pt nano-particles were formed on the surface of $TiO_2$ particles by photochemical reduction of Pt ion from the solution. The morphology of the synthesized Pt@$TiO_2$ nano-composite was examined by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy).

The purpose of this investigation was to study the stability of perovskite structure, the variation of electrical properties and a microstructure with varing amount of PbTiO3 additive in PZN-PT-BT system. The results are as follows: 1. The pyrochlore phase was reduced as the amount of PbTiO3 additive was increased and completely eliminated at 0.15PT in PZN-PT-BT system. 2. The aging rate was increased in proportion to tetragonality because the internal stress was increased in proportion to tetragonality. 3. On increasing the amount of PbTiO3 additive, the Curie temperature was increased in proportion to tetragonality. 4. As the amount of PT in the composition increase, the variation of dielectric constant was sharpened and the diffuseness of the transition decreased.

성능이 우수한 다성분계 전극을 개발하기 위하여 Pt, Ru, Sn, Sb 및 Gd의 5 종류 금속을 이용하여 1성분계 전극의 성능과 산화제 생성량 및 2성분계 전극의 성능과 산화제 생성 경향을 고찰하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. RhB 농도 감소는 Ru/Ti > Sb/Ti > Pt/Ti > Sn/Ti > Gd/Ti 전극의 순서로 나타났으나 단위 전력당 2분간 제거된 RhB 농도 감소는 Ru/Ti > Sb/Ti > Pt/Ti > Gd/Ti > Sn/Ti 전극의 순서로 나타났다. 생성된 산화제 농도는 ClO$_2$ > free Cl > H$_2$O$_2$ > O$_3$의 순서였으며 Gd/Ti 전극의 경우 산화제가 거의 생성되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 모든 전극에서 OH 라디칼이 거의 생성되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. Ru/Ti와 Sb/Ti 전극의 높은 RhB 분해와 산화제 생성 농도는 정확하지는 않지만 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 2. Ru계 2성분 전극(Ru-Gd/Ti, Ru-Pt/Ti, Ru-Sn/Ti 및 Ru-Sb/Ti)은 모두 1성분계 전극보다 RhB 분해성능이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, Ru계 2성분 전극 중 가장 성능이 우수하였던 전극은 Ru:Sn=9:1 전극으로 나타났다. Sn-Sb/Ti 전극은 Sn:Sb=1:9의 전극 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으나 Sb/Ti 전극과의 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. Pt계 전극(Pt-Gd/Ti, Pt-Sn/Ti, Pt-Sb/Ti)은 대체로 두 성분 혼합에 따른 RhB 분해효과 상승은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 2성분계 전극 중 RhB 제거 성능이 가장 우수하였던 Ru:Sn=9:1 전극에서 4종류의 산화제 생성 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. Ru:Pt=9:1 전극은 RhB 분해 성능이 5 전극 중 가장 낮았으며, 산화제도 생성량이 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. Ru-Sn/Ti 계 전극의 RhB 분해 성능과 산화제 생성 농도가 실험한 모든 1, 2성분계 전극에서 높은 것으로 나타나 향후 3, 4성분계 전극 제조시 이를 바탕으로 제조하고 다른 물질들은 보조재료로서 사용할 필요성이 있는 것으로 사료되었다.

Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT)는 높은 유전율로 인해 강유전체 메모리 소자의 응용을 위한 연구가 되고 있으며 또한 전왜(electrostrictive)성을 갖고 있어 이력현상을 갖지 않음으로 최근 들어 미세전기기계소자(MEMS)로의 연구가 활발히 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MEMS 소자로서의 응용을 위해 저응력 SiNx가 형성된 Si 기판위에 Pt 전극 혹은 산화물 전극 SrRuO3를 갖는 PMN-PT 박막 캐패시터를 제조하였다. 박막 하부의 구조는 금속전극의 경우 Pt/Ti/LTO/SiNx/Si이고 산화물전극은 SrRuO3/Ru/SiNx/Si의 구조를 갖는다. PMN-PT 박막은 alkoxide를 기반으로 회전 coating 방법을 사용하여 박막 하부층의 변화를 주어서 성장시켰다. PMN-PT 용액의 합성은 분말합성법에서 사용하는 columbite 방법을 응용하여 상대적으로 반응정도가 낮은 Mg를 Nb와 우선 반응하여 Mg-Nb solution을 얻고 Pb-acetate 용액과 합성하여 PMN을 제조한 후 PT를 반응시켜서 제조하였다. PMN-PT 박막에서 동일한 공정조건 하에서 박막 하부층의 구조에 따라서 PMN-PT 박막의 조성이 A2B2O6의 조성을 가지는 파이로클러어상이 형성되거나 또는 ABO3인 페로브스카이트상이 형성되는 것을 관찰하였다. 금속 전극인 Pt를 하부전극으로 사용한 경우는 혼재상이 형성되어 패로브스카이드 PMN-PT를 얻기 위해 seed layer로서 PbTiO3를 사용하였으며 이러한 seed layer 위에 형성된 PMN-PT를 형성하는 경우 rutile 구조인 RuO2 위에 성장시킨 PMN-PT는 파이로클로어와 페로브스카이트의 혼재상이 얻어졌으나 pseudo-perovskite 구조인 SrRuO3 박막 위에 형성된 PMN-PT 박막에서는 페로브스카이트가 주된 상으로 얻어졌다. 즉 하부층(전극 또는 seed layer)으로 perovskite 구조를 갖는 박막을 형성하게 되면 페로브스카이트를 갖는 PMN-PT 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 전기적인 특성은 상부전극으로 Pt를 사용하여 HP 4194A로 측정을 하였다. PT seed layer를 포함한 PMN-PT 박막은 유전상수 1086과 유전손실 2.75%을 가졌다.

Carbon-coated $TiO_2$ was prepared by $CCl_4$ solvent mixing method with different heat treatment temperature (HTT). Since the carbon layers derived from pitch on the $TiO_2$ particles were porous, the carbon-coated $TiO_2$ sample series showed a good adsorptivity and photo decomposition activity. The BET surface area was decreased by the increasing of the heat treatment temperature. The SEM results present to the characterization of surface texture on the carbon-coated $TiO_2$ sample and carbon distributions on the surfaces for all the materials used. The main elements of C, O and Ti were shown from EDX spectra. And the quantity of these elements is very rich in the samples. From XRD data, the pristine anatase peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for the carbon-coated $TiO_2$ at the different HTTs. However, the rutile peaks were observed for the carbon-coated $TiO_2$ at HTT of 1073 K and 1123 K. Finally, the excellent photocatalytic activity of carbon-coated $TiO_2$ with UV-vis spectra between absorbance and time could be attributed to the homogeneous coated carbon on the external surface and structural phase transform, and the photocatalytic activity was decreased by the increasing of the HTT.

BST(70/30) and BST(50/50) thin films were prepared by Sol-Gel method and studied about the microstructural and dielectric properties with Pt and ITO bottom electrodes. The stock solution was synthesized and spin coated on the Pt/Ti$SiO_2$/Si and Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)/ glass substrate. the coated films were dries at 350$^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour for the crystallization. The thin films coated on ITO substrate were crystallized easily and the packing density and roughness of surface were better that those of films coated on Pt substrates. In the BST(50/50) composition the structural properties were similar to the BST(70/30) composition and grain size were decreased with increasing the contents of Sr. The dielectric constant was higher in the BST(50/50) composition compared with the BST(70/30) composition. Using the ITO substrate, the dielectric constant was higher than the Pt substrate while the dielectric loss was showed a reverse trend. The dielectric constant with and increase of temperature was decreased slowly.

[ $TiO_2$ ] 광촉매에 의한 분해 반응의 활성을 높이기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되었다. 광촉매 반응은 1차 반응을 따랐으며 초기농도가 높을수록 분해효율이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 산화제로 과산화수소가 주입되었을 경우 분해효율을 조사하였으며, 과산화수소를 주입하였을 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 더 높은 분해효율을 보였다. 또한 과산화수소 주입량을 달리했을 때, 주입량이 증가할수록 효율이 높아지다가 일정량 이상에서는 오히려 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 과산화수소 최적첨가량이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 한편 $TiO_2$에 전이금속을 첨가하여 전이금속이 $TiO_2$ 촉매의 분해효율에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. Pt(0.5%)-$TiO_2$가 가장 높은 분해효을을 보였으며, Pt첨가함량이 더 큰 Pt(2%)-$TiO_2$는 함량이 증가했음에도 불구하고 큰 차이는 아니지만 오히려 효율이 감소하였다. 따라서 촉매표면에서 전자와 정공이 생성되었을 때, Pt가 전자를 포획함으로써 전자와 정공의 재결합율을 감소시켜 OH라디칼을 생성할 수 있는 정공이 많아져 반응효율을 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 금속에 따른 최적 첨가함량이 존재함을 알 수 있다. 반면에 Pd를 첨가했을 경우는 첨가 함량에 관계없이 모두 분해효율이 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며 이는 전이금속 고유의 성질이나, 또는 대상물질에 따라 각기 다른 경향이 존재함을 나타내며 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

In this article, Pt/TiO₂ was manufactured in the form of powder and honeycomb, and the influence of SO₂, which is a poisonous substance to catalyst, and regeneration method were investigated. The catalytic activity of Pt/TiO₂ before and after the exposure to SO₂ was also compared. The initial activity of Pt/TiO₂ was proportional to the injected H₂ concentration (1~5%). And the optimum temperature of the catalyst and conversion rate of H₂ were 183 ℃ and 95%, respectively. It was confirmed that when exposing 2,800 ppm of SO₂ to the powder and honeycomb Pt/TiO₂, the performance of catalyst was not measurable and also 0.69% sulfur (S) remained on the catalyst surface. As a result of the cleaning and heat treatment for the poisoning catalyst, the activity of the powder catalyst exhibited a conversion rate of H₂ greater than 96%. Whereas, the honeycomb catalyst showed a conversion rate of H₂ greater than 95% when it was regenerated through the heat treatment of H₂ or air atmosphere.

$MgTiO_3$thin films have been grown on various substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to investigate the application for microwave dielectrics and optical devices. Epitaxial $MgTiO_3$thin films were obtained on sapphire (c-plane$A1_2O_3$$MgTiO_3$thin films deposited on $SiO_2/Si$ and platinized silicon ($Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$) substrates were highly oriented. $MgTiO_3$thin films grown on sapphire were transparent in the visible and had a sharp absorption edge about 290 nm. These $MgTiO_3$thin films had extremely fine feature of surface morphology, i.e., rms roughness of 0.87 nm, which was examined by AFM. We have investigated the dielectric properties of the $MgTiO_3$thin films in $MIM(Pt/MgTiO_3/Pt)$ capacitors. Dielectric constant and loss of $MgTiO_3$thin films deposited by PLD were about 24 and 1.5% at 1 MHz, respectively. These $MgTiO_3$thin films also exhibited little dielectric dispersion.
