In this study, Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using silica extracted from corn cob ash. The synthesized Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the potential application of Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag NPs as an antibacterial material in water disinfection was investigated using Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 as model bacteria. The antibacterial activity of synthesized composite material showed 99.9% antibacterial effect within 20 min for the tested bacteria. From this experiment, the synthesized Fe₃O₄-ACCS-Ag nanocomposites also hold magnetic properties and could be easily recovered from the water solution for its reuse. The reused nanocomposites presented the decreasing antibacterial efficiencies with the reuse cycle but the composite used three times still killed 90% of bacteria in 20 min.

In recent years, energy-management studies in buildings have proven useful for energy savings. Typically, during heating and cooling, the energy from a given building is lost through its windows. Generally, to block the entry of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays, thin films of deposited metals or metal oxides are used, and the blocking of UV and IR rays by these thin films depends on the materials deposited on them. Therefore, by controlling the thicknesses and densities of the thin films, improving the transmittance of visible light and the blocking of heat rays such as UV and IR may be possible. Such improvements can be realized not only by changing the two-dimensional thin films but also by altering the zero-dimensional (0-D) nanostructures deposited on the films. In this study, 0-D nanoparticles were synthesized using a sol -gel procedure. The synthesized nanoparticles were deposited as deep coatings on polymer and glass substrates. Through spectral analysis in the UV-visible (vis) region, thin-film layers of deposited zinc oxide nanoparticles blocked >95 % of UV rays. For high transmittance in the visible-light region and low transmittance in the IR and UV regions, hybrid multiple layers of silica nanoparticles, zinc oxide particles, and fluorine-doped tin oxide nanoparticles were formed on glass and polymer substrates. Spectrophotometry in the UV-vis-near-IR regions revealed that the substrates prevented heat loss well. The glass and polymer substrates achieved transmittance values of 80 % in the visible-light region, 50 % to 60 % in the IR region, and 90 % in the UV region.

본 연구에서는 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 타소 지지체로 중형기공 실리카(SBA-15)를 이용한 전통적인 주형합성법을 이용하여 중형기공 탄소(CMK-3)를 합성하였다. 합성된 CMK-3는 추가적으로 비표면적과 물리적 성질을 증가시키기 위하여 활성화제로 수산화 칼륨 (KOH)양을 0, 1, 3, 및 4g으로 달리하여 활성화하였다. 그리고 활성화된 CMK-3(K-CMK-3)에 화학적 환원 방법을 이용하여 백금과 루테늄을 답지하였다. CMK-3에 담지된 백금-루테늄 촉매의 특성을 확인하기 위해 비표면적 장치(BET), X-선 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 투과전자현미정(TEM), 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석기(ICP-MS)를 이용하였다. 또한, 백금 루테늄 촉매의 전기화학적인 특성을 순환전류전압 실험으로 분석하였다. 결론적으로, 3 g의 KOH로 활성화된 CMK-3(K3g-CMK-3)가 가장 넓은 비표면적을 나타냈다. 또한, K3g-CMK-3의 높은 비표면적은 백금-루테늄의 균일한 분산과 함께 전기적인 촉매의 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
