The $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ multilayered structure for the transparent electrodes in plasma display panel was designed by essential macleod program (EMP) and the multilayered film was deposited on a glass substrate by direct-current (DC)/radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system. During film deposition process, the Ag layer in $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ structure became oxidized and the filter characteristic was degraded easily. In this study, ZnS layer was adopted as a diffusion blocking layer between $TiO_2$ and Ag to prevent the oxidation of Ag layer efficiently in $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ structure. Based on the AES depth profiling analysis, the Ag layer was effectively protected by the ZnS layer as compared with the $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$ multilayered films without ZnS as an antioxidant layer. The 3 times stacked $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ films have low sheet resistance of $1.22{\Omega}/{\square}$ and luminous transmittance was as high as 62% in the visible ranges.

$TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ was prepared by precipitation from the mixed solution of titanium chloride and hydrochloric acid followed by modification with sulfuric acid. The characterization of prepared catalyst was performed by using IR, XPS, XRD and DT-TGA. Infrared spectra of $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$ showed bidentate sulfate ion coordinated to the surface of $TiO_2$. The acid strength of modified catalyst was at least $H_0{\leq}-14.52$, showing the superacidic properties which are attributed to the double bond nature of S=O of the complex formed by the interaction of $TiO_2$ with sulfate ion. For $TiO_2/SO_4{^{2-}}$, the specific surface area increased and the transition from the amorphous to anatase phase occurred at a higher temperature, as compared with pure $TiO_2$.

A visible-light photoactive $TiO_{2-x}N_x$ photocatalyst was synthesized successfully by means of cogrinding of anatase-$TiO_2(a-TiO_2)$ in $NH_3$ ambient, followed by heat-treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ in air environment. In general, it is well known that the grinding-operation induces phase transformation of a-$TiO_2$ to rutile $TiO_2$. This study investigates the influence of the amount of $NH_3$ gas on the phase transformation rate of a-$TiO_2$ and enhancement of visible-light photocatalytic activity, and also examines the relation between the photocatalytic activity and the period of grinding time. The phase transformation rate of a-$TiO_2$ to rutile is retarded with the amount of NH3 injected. And the visible-light photocatalytic activity of samples, was more closely related to the period of grinding time than $NH_3$ amount injected, which means that the doping amount of nitrogen into $TiO_2$ more effective to mechanical energy than $NH_3$ amount injected. XRD, XPS, FT-IR, UV-vis, Specific surface area (SSA), NOx decomposition techniques are employed to verify above results more clearly.

BiFeO₃ with perovskite structure is a well-known material that has both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties called multiferroics. However, leaky electrical properties and difficulty of controlling stoichiometry due to Bi volatility and difficulty of obtaining high relative density due to high dependency on the ceramic process are issues for BiFeO₃ applications. In this work we investigated the sintering behavior of samples with different stoichiometries and sintering conditions. To understand the optimum sintering conditions, nonstoichiometric Bi_1±xFeO_3±δ ceramics and Ti-doped Bi_1.03Fe_1-4x/3Ti_xO₃ ceramics were synthesized by a conventional solid-state route. Dense single phase BiFeO₃ ceramics were successfully fabricated using a two-step sintering and quenching process. The effects of Bi volatility on microstructure were determined by Bi-excess and Ti doping. Bi-excess increased grain size, and Ti doping increased sintering temperature and decreased grain size. It should be noted that Ti-doping suppressed Bi volatility and stabilized the BiFeO₃ phase.

The newly developed ${\alpha}-case$ controlled mold material for Ti investment castings was suggested in this research. The $Al_2O_3$ mold containing interstitial $TiO_2$ and substitutional $Ti_3Al$ was manufactured by the reaction between $Al_2O_3$ and Ti. It is obvious that as the $TiO_2$ and $Ti_3Al$ content in the mold surface were increased, the depth of the interfacial reaction was significantly reduced. In addition, substitutional $Ti_5Si_3$ in the mold surface owing to the reaction between Ti and $SiO_2$ from the binder was effective for ${\alpha}-case$ reduction. Therefore, the ${\alpha}-case$ reduction was accomplished by the diffusion barrier effect of interstitial $TiO_2$, substitutional $Ti_3Al$ and $Ti_5Si_3$.

The grain growth behavior of $0.95Na_{1/2}Bi_{1/2}TiO_{3}-0.05BaTiO_{3}$ (NBT-5BT) has been investigated with respect to the grain shape. The powder compacts of NBT-5BT were sintered at 1200 for various times. The corresponding equilibrium shape was a round-edged cube with flat {100}-faces. Abnormal grains were not observed in the specimens sintered for 1 to 12 h but abnormal grains appeared when sintered for 24 h. Before the formation of abnormal grains, a valley was observed in the measured grain size distribution of NBT-5BT, showing that the grain size distribution was a combination of two unimodal distributions. The present result suggests that the grain growth in NBT-5BT was governed by the growth of facet planes which would occur via 2-dimansional nucleation and growth.

In order to investigate the effect of $V_2O_5$ loading of $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst on the NO reduction and the formation of $N_2O$, the experimental study was carried out in a differential reactor using the powder catalyst. The NO reduction and the ammonia oxidation were, respectively, investigated over the catalysts compose of $V_2O_5$ content (1~8 wt%) based on the fixed composition of $WO_3$ (9 wt%) on $TiO_2$ powder. $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts had the NO reduction activity even under the temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. However, the lowest temperature for NO reduction activity more than 99.9% to treat NO concentration of 700 ppm appeared at 340 with very limited temperature window in the case of 1 wt% $V_2O_5$ catalyst. And the temperature shifted to lower one as well as the temperature window was widen as the $V_2O_5$ content of the catalyst increased, and finally reached at the activation temperature ranged $220{\sim}340^{\circ}C$ in the case of 6 wt% $V_2O_5$ catalyst. The catalyst of 8 wt% $V_2O_5$ content presented lower activity than that of 8 wt% $V_2O_5$ content over the full temperature range. NO reduction activity decreased as the $V_2O_5$ content of the catalyst increased above $340^{\circ}C$. The active site for NO reduction over $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts was mainly related with $V_2O_5$ particles sustained as the bare surface with relevant size which should be not so large to stimulate $N_2O$ formation at high temperature over $320^{\circ}C$ according to the ammonia oxidation. Currently, $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts were operated in the temperature ranged $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ to treat NOx in the effluent gas of industrial plants. However, in order to save the energy and to reduce the secondary pollutant $N_2O$ in the high temperature process, the using of $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst of content $V_2O_5$ was recommended as the low temperature catalyst which was suitable for low temperature operation ranged $250{\sim}320^{\circ}C$.

A study using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) was conducted in conjunction with ammonia as a reducing agent for controlling nitrogen oxides, a typical secondary inducer of fine dust in the atmosphere. For NH₃-SCR experiments, a commercial catalyst of V/W/TiO₂ only and also V/W-Sb/TiO₂ catalyst with Sb were used, and phosphorous durability was confirmed. As a result of NH₃-SCR experiments, it was confirmed that the addition of Sb to V/W/TiO₂ had durability against phosphorous. In addition, the physical and chemical properties were comparatively analyzed through BET, XPS, H₂-TPR, NH₃-TPD, and FT-IR analysis. From the anaylsis results, when Sb was added to V/W/TiO₂ catalyst, P was also added resulting in the formation of SbPO₄ and the generation of VOPO₄ was suppressed. The phosphorous durability was confirmed by maintaining the redox characteristics of the catalyst before P was added.

pellets were fabricated as a reactor control material by the powder process. Sinterability of $Dy_2O_3+TiO_2$ mixtures and phases of solid solutions were analyzed by using TMA and XRD, respectively. The thermal conductivity of pellet was determined from the measurement data of the specific heat and the thermal diffusivity of the pellet. The sinterability and the sintered density varied as a function of Dy content in $Dy_xTi_yO_z$. The pellet of $3\;g\;Dy/cm^3\;Dy_xTi_yO_z$ melted in the sintering temperature of $1580{\circ}C$. There were two phases of $Dy_2TiO_5+Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and a single phase of $Dy_2TiO_5$ for the pellet that has the Dy content of and , respectively. The thermal conductivity of $Dy_xTi_yO_z$ was nearly constant in the temperature range of $25~600{\circ}$. It was 1.69~1.78 W/mK for the pellet sintered in and 1.49~1.55 W/mK for the pellet sintered in $1550{\circ}$.
