To enhance the photodecomposition of concentrated ammonia into N2, Pt/V-TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared using solvothermal and impregnation methods. Nanometer-sized particles of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mol% V-TiO2 were prepared solvothermally, and then impregnated with 1.0 wt% Pt. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks assigned to V2O5 at 30.20 (010) and Pt metal at 39.80 (111) and 46.20 (200) were seen in the 1.0 wt% Pt/ 10.0 mol% V-TiO2. The particle size increased in the order: pure TiO2, V-TiO2 and Pt/V-TiO2 after thermal treatment at 500 °C, while their surface areas were in the reverse order. On X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the bands assigned to the Ti2p3/2 and Ti2p1/2 of Ti4+-O were seen in all the photocatalysts, and the binding energies increased in the order: TiO2 < Pt/V-TiO2 < V-TiO2. The XPS bands assigned to the V2p3/2 (517.85, 519.35, and 520.55 eV) and V2p1/2 (524.90 eV) in the V3+, V4+ and V5+ oxides appeared over V-TiO2, respectively, while the band shifted to a lower binding energy with Pt impregnation. The Pt components of Pt/ V-TiO2 were identified at 71.60, 73.80, 75.00 and 76.90 eV, which were assigned to metallic Pt 4f7/2, PtO 4f7/2, PtO2 4f7/2, and PtO 4f5/2, respectively. The UV-visible absorption band shifted closer towards the visible region of the spectrum in V-TiO2 than in pure TiO2 and; surprisingly, the Pt/V-TiO2 absorbed at all wavelengths from 200 to 800 nm. The addition of vanadium generated a new acid site in the framework of TiO2, and the medium acidic site increased with Pt impregnation. The NH3 decomposition increased with the amount of vanadium compared to pure TiO2, and was enhanced with Pt impregnation. NH3 decomposition of 100% was attained over 1.0 wt% Pt/1.0 mol% V-TiO2 after 80 min under illumination with 365 nm light, although about 10% of the ammonia was converted into undesirable NO2 and NO. Various intermediates, such as NO2, -NH2, -NH and NO, were also identified in the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. From the gas chromatography (GC), FT-IR and GC/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analyses, partially oxidized NO and NO2 were found to predominate over V-TiO2 and pure TiO2, respectively, while both molecules were reduced over Pt/V-TiO2.

$ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were synthesized via a modified sol-gel technique by incorporating 30 and 70 wt% $TiO_2$ nanopowder into a ZnO sol-gel matrix. Zinc acetate dihydrate was used as the ZnO precursor and de-ionized water as the solvent, while titanium oxysulfate was employed for the synthesis of $TiO_2$ nanopowder. The synthesized $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites showed both the ZnO (wurtzite) and $TiO_2$ (anatase) phases. The average ZnO crystallite size of the $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites was found to be about 26.3 nm. The TEM results confirmed that spherical $TiO_2$ particles were embedded in the ZnO matrix. $TiO_2$ particles attached onto the rod-like ZnO particles were also observed. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites exhibited optical absorption properties superior to those of pure ZnO and $TiO_2$.

Copper oxide (CuO) was synthesized from $CuCl_2$ by solution method. Anatase $TiO_2$ particle was dispersed into the solution before preparing CuO, so that $TiO_2$/CuO heterojunction was created through the nucleation of CuO onto the $TiO_2$ surface. Some amount of CuO was reduced to $Cu_2O$ by treating glucose into the solution, thereby preparing $TiO_2/Cu_xO$ complex. The obtained $TiO_2/Cu_xO$ complex showed advanced phtocatalytic activity under the sun light compared with the P-25 sample. In addition, the the $TiO_2/Cu_xO$ complex showed excellent antipathogenic effect.

The decomposition of gaseous $CH_3CHO$ was investigated by metal loaded $TiO_2$ (pure $TiO_2,\;Pt/TiO_2,\;Pd/TiO_2,\;Mn/TiO_2\;and\;Ag/TiO_2$) with $UV/TiO_2$ process and $UV/TiO_2/O_3$ process at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Metal loaded $TiO_2$ was prepared by photodeposition. Decomposition of $CH_3CHO$ was carried out in a flow-type photochemical reaction system using three 10W black light lamps ($300{\sim}400nm$) as a light source. The experimental results showed that the degradation rate of $CH_3CHO$ was increased with Pt and Ag on $TiO_2$ compared to pure $TiO_2$, but decreased with depositing Pd and Mn on pure $TiO_2$. The considerable increase in the degradation efficiency of the $CH_3CHO$ was found by a combination of photocatalysis and ozonation as compared to only by ozonation or photocatalysis. Loading of Pt on $TiO_2$ promoted conversion of gaseous ozone. The degradation rate of gaseous $CH_3CHO$ decreased with an increase of water vapor in the feed stream for the both $UV/TiO_2\;and\;UV/TiO_2/O_3$ processes. The pure $TiO_2$ was more affected by the water vapor than Pt loaded $TiO_2$.

BaTi₄O/sub 9/계 세라믹스에 저온 소결 조제로 첨가된 lithium-borosilicate계 유리 프리트의 첨가에 따른 상분해 현상을 XRD, TEM에 의하여 분석하였다. 유리 프리트의 첨가가 없는 BaTi₄O/sub 9/계 세라믹스는 첨가량과 열처리 온도에 관계없이 BaTi₄O/sub 9/상과 소량의 TiO₂상만이 관찰되었으나 저온 소결 조제로 사용된 유리 프리트의 첨가량이 증가할수록 BaTi₄O/sub 9/계 세라믹스는 BaTi₄O/sub 9/상 보다 Ti-rich상인 Ba₂Ti/sub 9/O/sub 20/상, BaTi/sub 5/O/sub 11/상, 또는 BaTi/sub 5/O/sub 11/상과 Ba₄Ti₃O/sub 30/상으로 공존하며 분해되는 것을 관찰하였다. 공존하며 분해되는 것을 관찰하였다. 유리 프리트가 10 wt% 첨가시 600℃ 까지는 BaTi₄O/sub 9/상과 TiO₂상으로 존재하였으나 700℃ 전후에서 BaTi/sub 5/O/sub 11/상과 Ba₄Ti/sub 13/O/sub 30/상으로 분해되기 시작하여 875℃에서는 BaTi₄O/sub 9/상이 완전히 분해되어 BaTi/sub 5/O/sub 11/상이 주상으로 Ba₄Ti/sub 13/O/sub 30/상은 이차상으로 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 Ba₄Ti/sub 13/O/sub 30/상이 상대적으로 감소하고 있는 것도 관찰할 수 있었다.

Nanocomposites were fabricated as titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) doped with nanometals (Au, Ag) by sonochemical reduction method and sol-gel method in order to investigate their antimicrobial activities. Then, the antimicrobial activity of the resulting samples was compared by the measurement of colony numbers survived on the agar plate incubated for 24 h after the loading E. coli on the solid-state media with the nanocomposites. The initial antimicrobial activity of the metal (Au, Ag)-doped $TiO_2$ was higher than that of the pristine $TiO_2$. Afterwards the nanocomposite samples were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for a long time and the aged samples exhibited the different antimicrobial activity. With the elapse of aging times, Ag-doped $TiO_2$ with $TiO_2$ coating ($Ag-TiO_2$@$TiO_x$) exhibited the higher antimicrobial activity than those of $Ag-TiO_2$and $Au-TiO_2$. The $TiO_2$ coating on the $Ag-TiO_2$ may prevent the oxidation of Ag nanometals and stabilize colloidal nanocomposites.

$TiO_2$ and N-substituted $TiO_{2-x}N_x$ were synthesized by using precipitation method. $TiO_{2-x}N_x$ compound absorbed whole UV light as well as long wavelength of visible light (400 - 700 nm) because of the change of band gap from 3.2 eV to 1.77 eV. Results obtained revealed that $TiO_{2-x}N_x$ showed higher activity than pure $TiO_2$ or P-25 for visible-photocatalytic degradation of 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

TiO$_2$ and TiO$_2$-CdS powders which were expected to be highly activated photocatalysts were prepared using supercritical fluid method (SCF). The prepared photocatalyst TiO$_2$ powders were crystalline of anatase and ultrafine spherical powders with large specific surface area. When photodecompositoion reaction was done with TiO$_2$ powders prepared by SCF as a photocatalyst in DCA (Dichloroactic Acid) solution, a hazardous organic compound, the photocatlyst, properties of TiO$_2$ powders prepared by SCF were better than that of commercial TiO$_2$ powders.

A BaTiO$_3$ was annexed to SrTiO$_3$, (x)BaTiO$_3$-(1-x)SrTiO$_3$ (0.7$\leq$X$\leq$1) ceramics with stable dielectric and electrical properties in high voltage were manufactured. Structural, dielectric and electrical properties were surveyed with the contents of SrTiO$_3$. The open porosity and sintering density were excellent in 0.9BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$, the grain size of 0.9BaTiO$_3$-0.1SrTiO$_3$ was maximum at 12.40[${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$]. Increasing SrTiO$_3$ mol ratio, the curie temperature was shifted low temperature and the supreme permittivity was increased. In line with increasing of supplied voltage, permitivity was decreased slightly.

The dielectric properties of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ multilayered thick films with printing times were investigated. $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ thick films were deposited by Screen-printing method on alumina substrates. The obtained films were sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ with bottom electrode(Pt) for 2hours. The structural and the dielectric properties were investigated for various printing times. The BST phase appeared in all of the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ mutilayered thick films. The $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ multilayered thick film thickness, obtained by one printings, was $50{\mu}m$. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ multilayered thick film, obtained by five printings, were about 266, 0.8% at 1Mhz, respectively.
