This paper reports the effect of Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles on a TiO₂ sol-gel Schottky diode. TiO₂ nanoparticles were blended with TiO₂ sol-gel to fabricate the Schottky diode. TiO₂ nanoparticles showed strong anatase and rutile X-ray diffraction peaks. However, the mixture of TiO₂ sol-gel and TiO₂ nanoparticles exhibited no anatase and rutile peaks. The forward current of the Schottky diode drastically increased as the concentration of TiO₂ nanoparticles increased up to 10 wt. % and decreased after that. The possible conduction mechanism is more likely space charge limited conduction.

In this study, the photo-deposition method was used to introduce Ag onto the surface of TiO₂ to synthesize an Ag-TiO₂ composite. The effects of the varying amounts of AgNO₃ precursor and annealing time periods on the Ag content in the composites, as well as their antibacterial characteristics under visible light conditions were studied. SEM analysis revealed the spherical morphology of the Ag-TiO₂ composite. Compared with TiO₂, the Ag particles were too small to be observed. An XPS analysis of the Ag-TiO₂ surface confirmed the Ag content and showed the peak intensities for elements such as Ag, Ti, O, C, and Si. The highest Ag content was observed when 33.3 wt.% of AgNO₃ and an annealing time of 6 h were employed; this was the optimum annealing time for Ti-Ag-O bonding, in that the lowest number of O bonds and the highest number of Ag bonds were confirmed by XPS analysis. Superior antibacterial properties against Bacillus and Escherichia coli, in addition to the widest inhibition zones were exhibited by the Ag-TiO₂ composite with an increased Ag content in a disk diffusion test, the bacterial reduction rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli being 99.9%.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is used as a substrate material for power semiconductors; however, SiC chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) requires considerable time owing to its chemical stability and high hardness. Therefore, researchers are attempting to increase the material removal rate (MRR) of SiC CMP using various methods. Mixed-abrasive CMP (MAS CMP) is one method of increasing the material removal efficiency of CMP by mixing two or more particles. The aim of this research is to study the mathematical modeling of the MRR of MAS CMP of SiC with SiO₂ and TiO₂ particles. With a total particle concentration of 32 wt, using 80-nm SiO₂ particles and 25-nm TiO₂ particles maximizes the MRR at 8 wt of the TiO₂ particle concentration. In the case of 5 nm TiO₂ particles, the MRR tends to increase with an increase in TiO₂ concentration. In the case of particle size 10-25 nm TiO₂, as the particle concentration increases, the MRR increases to a certain level and then decreases again. TiO₂ particles of 25 nm or more continuously decreased MRR as the particle concentration increased. In the model proposed in this study, the MRR of MAS CMP of SiC increases linearly with changes in pressure and relative speed, which shows the same result as the Preston's equation. These results can contribute to the future design of MAS; however, the model needs to be verified and improved in future experiments.

In this study, the structural properties were Investigated for the deposited (Ba,Sr)(Nb,Ti)O$_3$[BSNT] thin films grown on Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si substrate by RF sputtering method. The structural properties of the BSNT thin films affected by the Ar/02 ratios were Investigated. In the case of the BSNT thin films deposited with condition of 60/40(Ar/O$_2$) ratio, the BaTiO$_3$, SrTiO$_3$ and BaNbO$_3$ phases were showed. The composition ratio of Nb and Ti in the BSNT thin films were nearly equivalent. Also, in the BSNT thin films deposited with condition of 60/40 and 80/20(Ar/O$_2$) ratios, the composition of Ba, Sr, Nb and Ti were relatively uniform. The Ba, Sr, Nb and Ti in the BSTN thin films were not diffused into the Pt layer.

코어-쉘 TiO₂/Ag 나노입자를 수정된 졸-겔 공정과 함께 acetoxime을 환원제로 사용한 물/dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DDBA)/cyclohexane의 역 미셀 방법으로 합성하였다. 합성된 TiO₂/Ag 나노입자의 구조, 형태 및 크기를 XRD, UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, TEM 및 TGA를 이용하여 조사하였다. TiO₂/Ag 나노입자의 크기는 [물]/[DDBA]의 몰비를 조절하여 제어할 수 있었다. TiO₂/Ag 나노입자의 크기와 다분산성은 [물]/[DDBA]의 몰비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 아나타제 결정상의 TiO₂ 나노입자 위에 생성된 Ag 나노입자는 430 nm 주변에서 강한 표면 플라즈몬 공명(SPR) 흡수 특성을 나타내었다. SPR 피크는 나노입자 크기의 증가에 따라 장파장으로의 적색 이동이 나타났다. 70 wt% 조성으로 TiO₂/Ag 나노입자를 분산시켜 전도성 페이스트를 제조하고, 스크린 인쇄법으로 PET 필름에 코팅하여 전도성을 조사하였다. TiO₂/Ag 나노입자 페이스트로 코팅된 필름은 상용 Ag 페이스트의 경우보다 높은 405~630 μΩ/sq 영역의 표면저항을 나타내었다.

50Li$_2$O-xTiO$_2$-(50-x)P$_2$O$_{5}$의 조성을 가진 유리에서 중간산화물인 TiO$_2$의 치환량을 증가시키면서 유리를 제조하여 전기 전도도의 변화를 고찰하였다 TG-DTA를 이용하여 열적 특성을 관찰하였으며, FT-IR을 이용하여 유리의 구조변화를 관찰하였다. TiO$_2$의 양이 증가함에 따라 밀도와 유리 전이온도는 증가하였다. 이는 유리 내에서 P-O-Ti 교차결합이 형성되면서 결합 강화가 발생하기 때문이다. 전기 전도도는 TiO$_2$치환량과 함께 증가하여 x=20에서 1.27$\times$$10^{-6}$ S/cm(상온)의 최대값을 나타내었다. 전기 전도도는 유리의 지배적 구조가 pyrophosphate unit으로 변화하면서 크게 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이는 비가교 산소의 증가로 인한 Li+ 이동도의 증가 때문이다.

We investigated a correlation between morphology and photoelectrochemical properties of TiO₂ nanotubes fabricated by well-controlled anodization processes. Anodization in an ethylene-glycol-based electrolyte solution accelerated the rapid grow rate of TiO₂ nanotubes, but also cause problems such as delamination at the interface between TiO₂ nanotubes and a Ti substrate, and debris on the top of the nanotube. The applied voltages for the anodization of TiO₂ were adjusted to avoid the interface delamination. The heat treatment and the anodizing time were also controlled to enhance the crystallinity of the as-prepared TiO₂ nanotubes and to increase the surface area with the varied length of the anodized TiO₂ nanotubes. Additionally, a 2-step anodization process was utilized to remove the debris on the tube top. The photoelectrochemical properties of TiO₂ nanotubes prepared with the carefully tailored conditions were investigated. By removing the debris on TiO₂ nanotubes, applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of TiO₂ nanotubes increased up to 0.33%.

$TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2-Al_2O_3$ nanolaminated films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the 316L stainless steel (SS316L) substrates at a temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. The growth kinetics of $ALD-TiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ thin films were systematically investigated in order to precisely control the thickness of each layers in the $TiO_2-Al_2O_3$ nanolaminated films using a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. And, the exact deposition rates of $ALD-TiO_2$ on $Al_2O_3$ surface and $ALD-Al_2O_3$ on $TiO_2$ surface were revealed to be 0.0284 nm/cycle and 0.11 nm/cycle, respectively. At given growth conditions, the microstructures of $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2-Al_2O_3$ nanolaminated films were amorphous. The potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that the $TiO_2-Al_2O_3$ nanolaminated film coated SS316L had a best corrosion resistance, although all ALDcoated SS316L exhibited a clear improvement of the corrosion resistance compared with a bare SS316L.

지지체 TiO₂가 다른 VOx/TiO₂ 촉매들에 대해 특성 분석과 SCR 반응을 수행하였다. Sigma Aldrich 사의 anatase TiO₂와 TiOCl₂와 TTIP를 출발 원료로 제조한 TiO₂를 사용하여 VOx/TiO₂ 촉매를 제조하고, 이를 각각 VS, VC, VP로 표시하였다. VS 시료의 비표면적은 VC 및 VP 시료 대비 1/10 이하로서 바나듐 산화물의 분산성은 상대적으로 낮았다. XPS 분석 결과, 촉매 표면의 흡착 산소의 비는 Ti³⁺가 존재하는 VS와 VP 시료가 VC 시료에 비해 높았다. 또한 VC와 VP시료에서 바나듐은 바나듐 산화물의 분산성과 관련하여 주로 V⁴⁺와 V³⁺ 상태로 존재하였다. 250 ℃ 이하 NH₃-SCR 활성에는 바나듐 산화물의 분산성보다는 흡착 산소 양이 더 기여한 반면, 300 ℃ 이상 활성에는 바나듐 산화물의 분산성이 더 기여하는 것으로 판단되었다. 촉매들의 fast SCR 활성은 3 시료 모두 NO₂/NOx = 0.5에서 가장 높았으며, VS < VC < VP 시료 순으로 나타났다. 빠른 NH₃-SCR 촉매 활성에는 촉매의 바나듐 산화물의 분산성이 영향을 크게 미친다고 판단되었다.
