A $TiO_2$ nanofilm was deposited on ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowders using the atomic layer deposition method. The $TiO_2$ film was prepared at $300^{\circ}C$ using $Ti(N(CH_3)_2)_4$ and $H_2O$ as the precursor and reactant gas, respectively. The thickness and composition of the $TiO_2$ surface were characterized by TEM and EDS measurements. The TEM results showed that the growth rate of the film was about $0.12{\AA}/cycle$. The EDS and SAED analyses showed the presence of titanium oxide on the surface of the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowders, confirming the deposition of the $TiO_2$ nanofilm. The Zeta potential and sedimentation test results showed that the dispersibility of the coated nanopowders was higher than that of the uncoated nanopowders. This is attributed to the electrostatic repulsion between the $TiO_2$-coated layers on the surface of the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowders. The results revealed that the $TiO_2$-coated layers modified the surface characteristics of the ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanopowders and improved their dispersibility.

In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF) material $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe) was synthesized using the solvothermal method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible spectrophotometry, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and surface area measurements. The XRD pattern of the synthesized $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe) was similar to the previously reported patterns of MIL-101 type materials, which indicated the successful synthesis of $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe). The FT-IR spectrum showed the molecular structure and functional groups of the synthesized $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe). The UV-visible absorbance spectrum indicated that the synthesized material could be activated as a photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. FE-SEM and TEM images showed the formation of hexagonal microspindle structures in the synthesized $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe). Furthermore, the EDS spectrum indicated that the synthesized material consisted of Fe, N, O, and C elements. The synthesized $NH_2$-MIL-101(Fe) was then employed as an adsorbent and photocatalyst for the removal of Indigo carmine and Rhodamine B from aqueous solutions. The initial 30 min of adsorption for Indigo carmine and Rhodamine B without light irradiation achieved removal efficiencies of 83.6% and 70.7%, respectively. The removal efficiencies thereafter gradually increased with visible light irradiation for 180 min, and the overall removal efficiencies for Indigo carmine and Rhodamine B were 94.2% and 83.5%, respectively. These results indicate that the synthesized MOF material can be effectively applied as an adsorbent and photocatalyst for the removal of dyes.

In situ nitrogen doped hard carbon nanotubes (NHCNT) were fabricated by pyrolyzing tubular nitrogen doped conjugated microporous polymer. KOH activated NHCNT (K-NHCNT) were also prepared to improve their porous structure. XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, Raman spectra, $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, galvanostatic charging-discharge, cyclic voltammetry and EIS were used to characterize the structure and performance of NHCNT and K-NHCNT. XRD and Raman spectra reveal K-NHCNT own a more disorder carbon. SEM indicate that the diameters of K-NHCNT are smaller than that of NHCNT. TEM and EDS further indicate that K-NHCNT are hollow carbon nanotubes with nitrogen uniformly distributed. $N_2$ adsorption-desorption analysis reveals that K-NHCNT have an ultra high specific surface area of $1787.37m^2g^{-1}$, which is much larger than that of NHCNT ($531.98m^2g^{-1}$). K-NHCNT delivers a high reversible capacity of $918mAh\;g^{-1}$ at $0.6A\;g^{-1}$. Even after 350 times cycling, the capacity of K-NHCNT cycled after 350 cycles at $0.6A\;g^{-1}$ is still as high as $591.6mAh\;g^{-1}$. Such outstanding electrochemical performance of the K-NHCNT are clearly attributed by its superior characters, which have great advantages over those commercial available carbon nanotubes ($200-450mAh\;g^{-1}$) not only for its desired electrochemical performance but also for its easily and scaling-up preparation.

메탄의 부분 산화반응을 위해 규칙적인 메조기공을 갖는 실리카를 지지체로 한 니켈 촉매를 제조하였다. 니켈 플레이팅(Nickel plating) 방법을 이용하여 촉매 제조 시 기존 함침 촉매 제조법과 달리 니켈이 실리카 표면에 도포된다. 이때 니켈이 고분산 되어 안정적인 니켈입자를 형성하게 된다. 니켈 플레이팅 촉매의 경우, TEM-EDS 분석에서 니켈이 매우 고분산 된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 고분산된 촉매로 메탄 부분산화 반응 시 기존 함침촉매와는 달리 니켈의 소결과 탄소침적이 상대적으로 적어 촉매의 비활성화가 매우 낮았다. 팔라듐은 환원 조촉매로서의 역할을 하여, 메탄 전환율과 생성된 합성가스의 H2/CO 비 관점에서 우수한 반응 성능을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In order to understand the characteristics of fine particles emitted from coal-fired power plant stacks, it is important to analyze the size distribution and components of particles. In this study, particle size distributions were measured using the ejector-porous tube dilution device and an ELPI system at a stack in a coal-fired power plant. Main elemental components of particles in each size interval were also identified through TEM-EDS analysis for the particles collected in each ELPI stage. Particle size distributions based on number and mass were analyzed with component distributions from 0.006 to 10 ㎛. The highest number concentration was about 0.01 ㎛. The main component of the particles consisted of sulfur, which indicated that sulfate aerosols were generated by gas-to-particle conversion of SO2. In a mass size distribution, a mono-modal distribution with a mode diameter of about 2 ㎛ was shown. For the components of PM1.0 (particles less than 1 ㎛), the abundance order was F > Mg > S > Ca, and however, for the components of PM10 (particles less than 10 ㎛), it was in the order of Fe > S > Ca > Mg. The elemental components by particle size were confirmed.

전자기파의 흡수와 간섭 문제는 상업적, 군사적 용도에서 중요한 문제로 다루어져 왔다. 스텔스 기술은 전자기파 흡수 기술의 가장 전형적인 적용 방법 중에 하나이다. 본 연구는 유전성 및 자성 손실을 함유한 복합성의 필러를 개발하고자 시작되었다. 전도성 나노 소재인 탄소나노섬유 (CNFs)에 자성을 부여하기 위해 두 가지의 니켈-인과 니켈-철을 무전해 도금을 적용하여 각각 코팅하는 실험에 성공하였다. 제작된 복합 소재의 미세 구조를 SEM/TEM을 통해 관찰하였고, 이들의 성분 분석(EDS/ELLS)을 수행하였다. 코팅 층의 평균 두께는 약 $50\;{\sim}\;100\;nm$의 결과를 나타내었으며, 코팅 층의 성분은 Ni-6wt%P와 Ni-70wt%Fe의 결과를 각각 나타내었다.

In this study we present the reaction mechanism of $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) nanoparticles synthesized by microwave-assisted chemical synthesis. We performed reactions every 10 minutes in order to identify different phases during quaternary CZTSe formation. The powder samples were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that in the first minutes copper phases are predominant, then copper and tin secondary phases react to form ternary phase. The quaternary phase is formed at 50 minutes while ternary and secondary phases are consumed. At 60 minutes pure quaternary CZTSe phase is present. After 60 minutes the quaternary phase decomposes in the previous ternary and secondary phases, which indicates that 60 minutes is ideal reaction time. The EDS analysis of pure quaternary nanocrystals (CZTSe) showed stoichiometric relations similar to the reported research in the literature, which falls in the range of Cu/(Zn+Sn): 0.8-1.0, Zn/Sn: 1.0-1.20. In conclusion, the evolution pathway of CZTSe synthesized by this novel method is similar to other synthesis methods reported before. Nanoparticles synthesized in this study present desirable properties in order to use them in solar cell and photoelectrochemical cell applications.
