In order to prepare the uniform copper particles from copper chloride solution, the reduction behavior of copper particles from copper chloride and the effects of reduction agent and dispersing agent was investigated. In the case that 2.56 M of $C_6H_8O_6$ was used as a reduction agent, the highly dispersed Cu particles with sharp size distribution were generated from 0.96M of copper chloride solution, and the size of Cu particles was $6\~10\;{\mu}m$. To form $Cu(NH_3)_4Cl_2$ complex solution, $NH_4OH$ was added in the copper chloride solution before the reductive reaction of Cu ion. The generated Cu particles have a two kind of shape, spherical and rod-like. In the case that $N_2H_4{\cdot}H_2O$ was used as a reduction agent, the very fine spherical Cu particles with the size of $0.2\~0.5\;{\mu}m$ was obtained. Arabic gum as a dispersing agent was more effective than $Na_4P_2O_7{\cdot}10H_2O$.

The effect of Cu on the hydrogen reduction of $MoO_3$ powders was investigated by measuring the humidity change during a non-isothermal process of hydrogen reduction. The presence of Cu induced a shift in the reduction temperature and strongly affected the reduction processes of $MoO_3\rightarrowMo_4O_{11}\rightarrowMoO_2$, which comprised the contained chemical vapor transport of $MoO_x(OH)_2$. This study suggests that the surface of the Cu grains acts as a nucleation site for the reduction of $MoO_x(OH)_2$ to $MoO_2$ particles from $MoO_3$ or $Mo_4O_{11}$. Such an activated reduction process results in the deposition of Mo and $MoO_2$ particles on the surface of the Cu.

Ag powder was prepared from $AgNO_3$ by wet chemical reduction method using various reduction agent system involving $AgNO_3$, $AgNO_2$(AgCl) and Ag complex ion aqueous solution. The pure Ag powder could be prepared regardless of reaction system but the particle shape and distribution were affected very much according to the kind of reduction agents and reaction systems. The optimum reaction system for the preparation of the silver powder having the uniform particle shape and size distribution was Ag complex ion aqueous solution-reduction agent system and in particular, $H_2O_2$ and $C_6H_8O_6$as a reduction agent leaded the more uniform particle shape and size distribution.

일산화탄소탈수소화효소를 이용한 이산화탄소의 전기화학적 환원 반응의 최적화를 위해 pH와 온도의 영향을 살펴보았다. pH는 이산화탄소의 환원반응 용이성과 효소의 안정도 효과가 함께 반영되는 6.3에서 최적의 조건을 보였고, 온도는 이산화탄소의 용해도가 적어지더라도 효소의 활성이 가장 좋은 60도에서 최적 조건을 보였다. 일산화탄소탈수소화효소의 안정성 및 활성이 가장 중요한 조건임을 알 수 있었다.

In order to commercialize Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC), the cathode catalyst such as Platinum supported Carbon (Pt/C) need to have a high activity of Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). In this study, the 20% Pt/C was synthesized using the chemical reduction method while the crystallinity of Platinum (Pt) particles were controlled under heat treatment conditions. The activity of synthesized Pt catalysts was evaluated using electrochemical measurement. Compared with the $i_{ORR}$ at 0.8 V of 20% Pt/C heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ and the 20% Pt/C that were not heated and commercial 20% Pt/C, the $i_{ORR}$ at 0.8 V of 20% Pt/C heattreated at $500^{\circ}C$ was 9.5 and 1.7 times higher than those of the 20% Pt/C and commercial 20% Pt/C that were not heated. It was considered that the crystallinity and particle size affect the ORR activity of the Pt/C catalysts.

Recently, a cement plays an important roll in the materials field. So, in this research we would like to study on the properties of waste gas reduction in the photocatalytic cement. The fundamental phenomena of waste gas reduction in the photocatalytic cement were observed by the NOx analyzer with reaction chamber, UV Lamp, MFC, and humidity control bath. As a result of this study, the photocatalytic cement used photocatalytic powder, admixture and other materials can obtain NOx gas reduction and its photocatalytic efficiency. Developing for the photocatalytic cement, we need a various study.

Production of titanium powder directly from tantalum oxides ($TiO_2$) pellet through an electronically mediated reaction (EMR) by calciothermic reduction has been investigated. Feed material ($TiO_2\;pellet$) and reductant (Ca-Ni alloy) were charged into electronically isolated locations in a molten calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$) bath at $950^{\circ}C$. The current flow through an external circuit between the feed (cathode) and reductant (anode) locations was monitored during the reduction of $TiO_2$. The current approximately 3.2A was measured during the reaction in the external circuit connecting cathode and anode location. After the reduction experiment, pure titanium powder with low nickel content was obtained even though Ca-Ni alloy was used as a reductant. These results demonstrate that titanium powder can be produced without direct physical contact between the feed and reductant. In certain experimental conditions, pure titanium powder with approximately $99.5\;mass\%$ purity was successfully obtained.

Bismuth telluride ($Bi_2Te_3$) and its alloys are well-known thermoelectric materials for ambient temperature applications. In this study, the dissolved Bi-Te precursor solution was used to synthesis metallic $Bi_2Te_3$ powder via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and reduction process. The droplets of the Bi-Te precursor solution were decomposed to Bi-Te oxide powders by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The spherical $Bi_2Te_3$ powders were synthesized by reduction reaction in atmosphere of hydrogen gas at the temperature above $375^{\circ}C$ for 6h. The reduced $Bi_2Te_3$ powders have a mean particle size of $1.5{\mu}m$. The crystal structure of the powder was evaluated by X-Ray diffraction(XRD), and the microstructure with size and shape powders was observed by fieldemission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM).

In order to prepare the uniform copper particles from copper sulfate solution by using hydrazine as a reduction agents, the reduction behavior of copper particles from copper sulfate was investigated in detail at room temperature by the observation of reaction products. The effects of $NH_4$OH and $Na_4$$P_2$$O_{7}$ on the formation of uniform copper particles were discussed. ($NHCu_3$)$_4$$SO_4$was completely formed at over pH 11 by adding $NH_4$OH in copper sulfate solution. The fine $Cu_2$O with the particle size of 50 nm was produced in the initial reduction process of (NH$Cu_3$)$_4$$SO_4$solution with $Na_4$$P_2$$O_{ 7}$ and then the Cu$_2$O was converted into copper particles by inserting additional hydrazine. When Cu(NH$_3$)$_4$SO$_4$solution with $Na_4$$P_2$$O_{ 7}$ was reduced at $80^{\circ}C$ by hydrazine, the highly dispersed copper particles with the particle size of about 0.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was obtained.

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method from aqueous silver nitrate solution ana hydrazine as a reduction agent. The morphology, particle size and shape were dependent on the mixing method, reaction temperature and time, molar ratio of hydrazine and silver nitrate, the kind of surfactant, and the addition of surfactant. The stability of the colloidal silver was achieved by the adsorption of surfactant molecules onto the particle. Silver nanoparticles have a characteristic absorption maximum at 430 nm under UV irradiation. It was found that the colloid was nanometer m size and formed very stable dispersion of silver. The Ag nanoparticles obtained showed the spherical shape with the size range of 10-30 nm.
