Photocatalysis has been applied to decompose the waste and toxic materials produced in daily life and in the global environment. Pure $TiO_2$ (Zn-$TiO_2$-0) and Zn-doped $TiO_2$ (Zn-$TiO_2$-x, x = 3-10 mol %) samples were synthesized using a novel sol-gel and ammonia-evaporation method. The Zn-doped $TiO_2$ samples showed high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). The physicochemical properties of the samples were investigated using XRD, SEM, ICP, DLS and BET methods. In addition, the most important measurement of photocatalytic ability was investigated by a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The effects of the mol % of zinc ion doping in $TiO_2$ on photocatalytic activity were studied. Among the mol % Zn ions investigated, the Zn-$TiO_2$-9 sample showed the highest photoreactivity. This sample removed 91.4% of the MB after 4 h, while the pure $TiO_2$ only removed 46.4% of the MB.

The $SnO_2$, Sn-doped $In_2O+3\; and \;Ce-doped\; TiO_2$ films have been prepared by RF sputtering method, and their opto-electrochemical properties were investigated in view of the applicability as counter electrodes in the electrochromic window system. These oxide films could reversibly intercalate $Li^+$ ions owing to the nanocrystalline texture, but remained colorless and transparent. The high transmittance of the lithiated films could be attributed to the prevalence of the $Sn^{4+}/Sn^{2+}\; and\; Ce^{4+}/Ce^{3+}$ redox couples having 5s and 6s character conduction bands, respectively. For the Ce-doped $TiO_2$ film, $(TiO_2)_{1-x}(CeO_2)_x$, an optimized electrochemical reversibility was found in the film with the composition of x = 0.1.

The use of an activated carbon (AC) system alone has the limitation that the pollutants are not eliminated but only transferred to another phase with the consumed AC becoming hazardous waste itself. Therefore, the present study investigated the feasibility of using a combined system of granular AC (GAC) with S-doped visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ (GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$) to clean monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) with concentrations at $\leq$ 3 mg $m^{-3}$, using a continuous air-flow reactor. This study conducted three different experiments: an adsorption test of pure GAC and GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$; a long-term adsorptional photocatalytic (AP) activity test of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$; and an AP activity test of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ under different conditions. For the AP activity test, three parameters were evaluated: various weights of GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ (0.9, 4.4, and 8.9 g); various flow rates (FRs) (0.5, 1 and 2 L $min^{-1}$); and various input concentrations (ICs) of the target MAHs (0.1, 1, 2 and 3 mg $m^{-3}$). The adsorption efficiencies were similar for the pure GAC and GAC/S-doped $TiO_2$ reactors, suggesting that S-doped $TiO_2$ particles on GAC surfaces do not significantly interfere with the adsorption capacity of GAC. Benzene exhibited a clear AP activity, whereas no other target MAHs did. In most cases, the AP efficiencies for the target MAHs did not significantly vary with an increase in weight, thereby suggesting that, under the weight range tested in this study, the weights or FRs are not important parameters for AP efficiency. However, ICs did influence the AP efficiencies.

Zinc-oxide (ZnO), II-VI semiconductor with a wide and direct band gap (Eg: 3.2~3.4 eV), is one of the most potential candidates to substitute for ITO due to its excellent chemical, thermal stability, specific electrical and optoelectronic property. However, the electrical resistivity of un-doped ZnO is not low enough for the practical applications. Therefore, a number of doped ZnO films have been extensively studied for improving the electrical conductivities. In this study, Ti-doped ZnO films were successfully prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. ALD technique was adopted to careful control of Ti doping concentration in ZnO films and to show its feasible application for 3D nanostructured TCO layers. Here, the structural, optical and electrical properties of the Ti-doped ZnO depending on the Ti doping concentration were systematically presented. Also, we presented 3D nanostructured Ti-doped ZnO layer by combining ALD and nanotemplate processes.

산업이 발달하면서 다양한 화학물질이 배출되고 이로 인하여 환경이 오염되고 있으며, 특히, 대부분의 유기 화합물은 대기오염에 많은 영향을 주는 물질로 알려져 있다. 최근 유기 화합물을 제거하기 위해서 UV와 가시광에서 반응하는 광촉매 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 밴드갭에 변화를 주는 doped $TiO_2$와 가시광에서 반응하는 조촉매를 이용하여 광촉매의 특성을 향상시키는 coupled $TiO_2$를 제조하였다. Doped $TiO_2$를 제조하기 위해서 비금속 물질인 질소(nitrogen)을 사용하였고, coupled $TiO_2$는 graphine oxide(GO)를 환원하여 $TiO_2$-RGO 촉매를 제조하였다. N-$TiO_2$와 $TiO_2$-RGO의 광학 특성을 평가하기 위해서 UV/Vis 분광광도계를 사용하였다. Methylene blue(MB)와 methyl orange(MO)가 분해되는 반응을 통해서 N-$TiO_2$와 $TiO_2$-RGO의 광촉매 특성을 평가하였다. 또한, MB와 MO 분해 테스트에 395 nm long pass filter를 이용하여 가시광에서의 광촉매 활성을 평가하였다.

For the purpose of manufacturing a high efficiency TiO₂ photocatalyst, B-doped TiO₂ photocatalysts are synthesized using a plasma electrolytic oxidation method in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ electrolyte with different concentrations of H₃BO₃ as additive. For the B doped TiO₂ layer fabricated from sulfuric electrolyte having a higher concentration of H₃BO₃ additive, the main XRD peaks of (101) and (200) anatase phase shift gradually toward the lower angle direction, indicating volume expansion of the TiO₂ anatase lattice by incorporation of boron, when compared with TiO₂ layers formed in sulfuric acid with lower concentration of additive. Moreover, XPS results indicate that the center of the binding energy peak of B1s increases from 191.45 eV to 191.98 eV, which suggests that most of boron atoms are doped interstitially in the TiO₂ layer rather than substitutionally. The B doped TiO₂ catalyst fabricated in sulfuric electrolyte with 1.0 M H₃BO₃ exhibits enhanced photocurrent response, and high efficiency and rate constant for dye degradation, which is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the new impurity energy band induced by introducing boron to the interstitial site and the improvement of charge transfer reaction.

최근에 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 연료극 조건에서 우수한 상 안정성, 높은 혼합 전자/이온 전도도 및 황/탄소 저항성 때문에 yttrium-doped strontium titanium oxide (Y-doped SrTiO3)가 대체 연료극 재료로 주목을 받아 왔다. 그러나 Y-doped SrTiO3는 연료 산화에 대해서 기존의 Ni 계열 연료극보다 낮은 전기화학적 활성을 보이는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 효율적인 Y-doped SrTiO3 계열의 연료극 재료를 개발하기 위해서는 Y-doped SrTiO3의 연료극 특성 및 반응성의 이해가 필수적이다. 본 발표에서는 SOFC 연료극에서 수소 산화 반응성을 결정함에 있어 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지의 역할에 대한 spin-polarized DFT (density functional theory) 결과를 발표할 예정이다. 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지는 수소 산화 반응[H2+O (surface) ${\rightarrow}$ OH+OH ${\rightarrow}$ H2O+O (vacancy)]과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Y-doped SrTiO3의 표면을 3d-전이금속을(Sc, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu) 도핑함으로써 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지를 제어할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

Metal doping was adopted to modify TiO2 (P-25) and enhance the photocatalytic degradation of harmful cyanides in aqueous solution. Ni, Cu, Co, and Ag doped TiO2 were found to be active photocatalysts for UV light induced degradation of aqueous cyanides generating cyanate, nitrate and ammonia as main nitrogen-containing products. The photoactivity of Ni doped TiO2 was greatly affected by the state of Ni, that is, the crystal size and the degree of reduction of Ni. The modification effects of some mixed oxides, that is, Ni-Cu/TiO2 were also studied. The activity of Ni-Cu/TiO2 for any ratio of Cu/Ni was higher than that of Ni- or Cu-doped TiO2, and the catalyst at the Cu/Ni ratio of 0.3 showed the highest activity for cyanide conversion.

The electrical conductivity of TiO$_2$ doped with 0.05~1.5mol% WO$_3$ was measured in the oxygen partial pressure range of 10\ulcorner~10\ulcorner atm and temperature range of 1100~130$0^{\circ}C$ to investigate the defect types and the electrical properties. The grain size and density were increased as the liquid phase was formed by the doped WO$_3$. The secondary phase and WO$_3$peaks at the sample doped up to 4.0 mol% were not detected from the XRD results. The data(log$\sigma$/logPo$_2$) over 110$0^{\circ}C$ were divided into the four regions. From these experimental results, we proposed the following defect regions. 1) Magneli phase(extended defect), 2) Reduced rutile region which is similar to the behavior of undoped rutile, 3) Nearly stoichiometric Ti\ulcornerW\ulcornerO$_2$region in which extra charge of W\ulcorner cation is expected to be compensated by an electron, 4) Overstoichiometric Ti\ulcornerW\ulcornerO\ulcorner region which is a metal deficiency not to be observed in pure TiO$_2$. The electrical conductivity of w-doped TiO$_2$ was influenced by the measuring temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and the dopig content.
