For the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH₃-SCR), a V₂O₅WO₃/TiO₂ (VW/nTi) catalyst was prepared using V₂O₅ and WO₃ on a nanodispersed TiO₂ (nTi) support by simple impregnation process. The nTi support was dispersed for 0~3 hrs under controlled bead-milling in ethanol. The average particle size (D₅₀) of nTi was reduced from 582 nm to 93 nm depending on the milling time. The NOx activity of these catalysts with maximum temperature shift was influenced by the dispersion of the TiO₂. For the V_0.5W₂/nTi-0h catalyst, prepared with 582 nm nTi-0h before milling, the decomposition temperature with over 94 % NOx conversion had a narrow temperature window, within the range of 365-391 ℃. Similarly, the V_0.5W₂/nTi-2h catalyst, prepared with 107 nm nTi-2h bead-milled for 2hrs, showed a broad temperature window in the range of 358~450 ℃. However, the V_0.5W₂/Ti catalyst (D₅₀ = 2.4 ㎛, aqueous, without milling) was observed at 325-385 ℃. Our results could pave the way for the production of effective NOx decomposition catalysts with a higher temperature range. This approach is also better at facilitating the dispersion on the support material. NH₃-TPD, H₂-TPR, FT-IR, and XPS were used to investigate the role of nTi in the DeNOx catalyst.

The $TiO_2/Si_3N_4/Ag/Si_3N_4/TiO_2$ multi layered structure was designed for the possible application of transparent electrodes in PDP (Plasma Display Panel). Multi layered film was deposited on a glass substrate at room temperature by DC/RF magnetron sputtering system and EMP (Essential Macleod Program) was adopted to optimize the optical characteristics of film. During the deposition process, the Ag layer in $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$ became heavily oxidized and the filter characteristic was degraded easily. In thus study, Si3N4 layer was used as a diffusion buffer layer between $TiO_2$ and Ag. in order to prevent the oxidation of Ag layer in $TiO_2/Si_3N_4/Ag/Si_3N_4/TiO_2$ structure. It was confirmed that $Si_3N_4$ layer is one of candidate materials acting as diffusin barrier between $TiO_2/Ag/TiO_2$.

With the increasing importance of environmental issues, the cementitious materials with self-cleaning or photocatalytic properties by introducing TiO₂ materials have been gaining a lot of attention. In this work, the influence of TiO₂ particle size and structure on its photocatalytic effect in cement paste was investigated. The degradation of methylene blue solution was used as the parameter for evaluating the photocatalytic effect of micro-TiO2 (m-TiO₂), nano-TiO2 (n-TiO₂), and TiO₂ nanotube (TNT). Moreover, the effect of these three TiO₂ materials on the cement hydration products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermgravimetric analysis (TG). According to the results, it can be found that all of the TiO₂ materials promoted the formation of hydration products, especially TNT. On the other hand, the m-TiO₂ exhibited a better photocatalytic effect compared to other materials.

$Al_2O_3$ composites powders with 1∼11 wt% $TiO_2$ were prepared by wet method and sintered at 1350$^{\circ}C$, 1450$^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Mechanical properties and microstructural evolution were investigated in this study. $Al_2O_3$-3 wt% $TiO_2$ composite were high bulk density of 2.37 g/$cm^3$ and low apparent porosity of 6.3%. The composites containing of 3 wt% $TiO_2$ showed moderately high bending strength of 68.9 MPa and the young's modulus of 35.5 MPa. The composites with increasing $TiO_2$ contents exhibit reduced thermal expansion coefficient due to the formation of $Al_2TiO_5$ phase.

In this work, we prepared a heterojunction anode with a surface layer of SnO₂-Sb-Ni (SSN) on a Ti/IrO₂ electrode by thermal decomposition to improve the electrochemical activity of the Ti/IrO₂ electrode. The Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode showed significantly improved electrochemical activity compared with Ti/IrO₂. For the 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ electrolytes, the onset potential of the Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode shifted in the positive direction by 0.1 V_SCE and 0.4 V_SCE, respectively. In 2.0-2.5 V voltages, the concentration in Ti/IrO₂-SSN was 2.59-214.6 mg/L Cl₂, and Ti/IrO₂ was 0.55-49.21 mg/L Cl₂. Moreover, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y increased by 3.79-7.60 times and 1.06-2.15 times compared with that of Ti/IrO₂. Among these voltages, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y were the most improved at 2.25 V. Accordingly, in the Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode, it can be assumed that the competitive reaction between chlorine ion oxidation and water oxidation is minimized at an applied voltage of 2.25V.

In order to increase the capacity of the lithium ion battery, the capacity of the anode should be increased. SnO₂ and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ were studied to replace the graphite as the anode materials. In this study, SnO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite materials were synthesized by solid-state method. The study reported here attempts to enhance the electrochemical capacity of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ through the incorporation of SnO₂. Sn-based Li ion storage materials are loaded on Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ surface. The SnO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite material has higher capacity than Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, but the cycling capacity was decreased due to SnO₂.

In this study, a TiO₂ nanotube was grown on a titanium plate by using anodic oxidation method for the evaluation of TiO₂ nanotube morphology. The TiO₂ nanotube was grown in an electrolyte containing ethylene glycol, 0.2 wt% of NH₄F and 2 vol% of H₂O. Applied voltage varied from 30 to 70 V and the morphology of the TiO₂ nanotube was observed. After anodization, a TiO₂ nanotube plate was immersed in 35℃ ethanol for 24 hours. Anatase and rutile crystal forms of TiO₂ nanoutbe were observed after annealing. 4-chrolobenzoic acid, a probe compound for OH radicals, was dissolved in H₂O in order to measure the OH radical. Liquid chromatography was used to check the concentration of the 4-chrolobenzoic acid. The OH radical generation by TiO₂ nanotube plate was proportionate to the length of the TiO₂ nanotube. Furthermore, when the number of TiO₂ nanotube plate increased, the OH radical generation increased as well.

In this study, NH₃-selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) efficiencies according to calcination/reduction conditions were compared when preparing various Ru[1]/TiO₂ catalysts. The Ru[1]/TiO₂ red catalyst had better NH₃ conversion and NH₃ to N₂ conversion than those of Ru[1]/TiO₂ cal. Physico-chemical properties of Ru[1]/TiO₂ catalysts were confirmed by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR) analyses, and the properties were shown to affect the dispersion and surface adsorption oxygen species (O_β) ratio of the active metal.

Carbon spheres (CS) were fabricated using glucose as a precursor in the hydrothermal method. Hollow TiO₂ (H-TiO₂) spheres with 200 nm, 500 nm, and 1,200 nm were synthesized by CS/TiO₂ core-shell particles via a sol-gel and calcination method. H-TiO₂ spheres with nano and micron sizes were characterized using FE-SEM, HR-TEM, and X-ray diffraction. The CIE color coordinate, solar reflectance, and heat shield temperatures of H-TiO₂/polyacrylate (PA) composite film were investigated using a UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer and homemade heat insulation temperature measuring device. H-TiO₂/PA composites exhibit excellent thermal insulation since the hollow structure filled with dry air has low thermal conductivity and near infrared light reflecting performance. The thermal insulation increased with increasing the hollow sphere (HS) size on H-TiO₂/PA composites. The PA composite film mixed with H-TiO₂ filled with 1200 nm HS reduced the heat shield temperature by 26 ℃ compared to that of the transparent glass counterpart.

The crystal structure, grain growth behavior, and dielectric properties of BaTiO₃ have been studied with the addition of Dy₂O₃. The powders were synthesized at ratios of (100-x)BaTiO₃-xDy₂O₃ (mol%, x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) by a conventional solid-state synthesis, and the powder compacts were sintered at 1250℃ for 2 hours in air. As the amount of added Dy₂O₃ was increased, the crystal structure of the sintered samples changed from a tetragonal to a pseudo-cubic structure, and the tetragonality decreased. In addition, a secondary phase of Ba₁₂Dy_4.67Ti₈O₃₅ appeared when Dy₂O₃ was added. The average grain size after sintering decreased and abnormal grains appeared as the amount of Dy₂O₃ increased. It can be explained that the grain growth behavior of the Dy₂O₃ added-BaTiO₃ occurs due to the two-dimensional nucleation and growth, and is governed by the interface reaction. Further, the correlation between crystal structure, microstructure, and dielectric properties was discussed.
