Thermally stable $TiO_2$/Pt/$SiO_2$ core-shell nanocatalyst has been synthesized by chemical processes. Citrated capped Pt nanoparticles were deposited on amine functionalized silica produced by Stober process. Ultrathin layer of titania was coated on Pt/$SiO_2$ for preventing sintering of the metal nanoparticles at high temperatures. Thermal stability of the metal-oxide hybrid catalyst was demonstrated heating the sample up to $600^{\circ}C$ in air and by investigating the morphology and integrity of the structure by transmission electron spectroscopy. The surface analysis of the constituent elements was performed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of the hybrid catalysts was investigated by CO oxidation reaction with oxygen as a model reaction.

To date, carbon and nitrogen co-doped photocatalysts (CN-$TiO_2$) for environmental application focused mainly on the aqueous phase to investigate the decomposition of water pollutants. Accordingly, the present study explored the photocatalytic performance of CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts for the purification of indoor-level gas-phase aromatic species under different operational conditions. The characteristics of prepared photocatalysts were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning emission microscope, diffuse reflectance UV-VIS-NIR analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. In most cases, the decomposition efficiency for the target compounds exhibited a decreasing trend as input concentration (IC) increased. Specifically, the average decomposition efficiencies for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX) over a 3-h process decreased from 29% to close to zero, 80 to 5%, 95 to 19%, and 99 to 32%, respectively, as the IC increased from 0.1 to 2.0 ppm. The decomposition efficiencies obtained from the CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalytic system were higher than those of the $TiO_2$ system. As relative humidity (RH) increased from 20 to 95%, the decomposition efficiencies for BTEX decreased from 39 to 5%, 97 to 59%, 100 to 87%, and 100 to 92%, respectively. In addition, as the stream flow rates (SFRs) decreased from 3.0 to 1.0 L $min^{-1}$, the average efficiencies for BTEX increased from 0 to 58%, 63 to 100%, 69 to 100%, and 68 to 100%, respectively. Taken together, these findings suggest that three (IC, RH, and SFR) should be considered for better BTEX decomposition efficiencies when applying CN-$TiO_2$ photocatalytic technology to purification of indoor air BTEX.

The feasibility study of the application of the photoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) was investigated in the photoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV process with $TiO_2$ photoelectrode and DSA (dimensionally stable anode) electrode. Three types of $TiO_2$ photoelectrode were used. Thermal oxidation electrode (Th-$TiO_2$) was made by oxidation of titanium metal sheet; sol-gel electrode (5G-$TiO_2$) and powder electrode (P-$TiO_2$) were made by coating and then heating a layer of titania sol-gel and slurry $TiO_2$ on titanium sheet. DSA electrodes were Ti and Ru/Ti electrode. The relative performance for RhB decolorization of each of the photoelecoodes and DSA electrodes is: Ru/Ti > Ti > SG-$TiO_2$ > Th-$TiO_2$. It was observed that photoelectrocatalytic decolorization of RhB is similar to the sum of the photocatalytic and electrolytic decolorization. Therefore the synergetic effect was not showed in pthotoelectrocatalytic reaction. $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ and NaCl showed different decolorization effect between pthotoelectrocatalytic and electrolytic/UV reaction. In the presence of the NaCl, RhB decolorization of Ru/Ti DSA electrode was higher than that of the other photoelectrode and Ti electrode. Optimum current, NaCl dosage and UV lamp power of the electrolytic/UV process (using Ru/Ti electrode) were 0.75 A, 0.5 g/L and 16 W, respectively.

티타니아가 첨가된 불투명한 실리카 에어로겔의 물성 및 열처리에 따른 미세구조 변화가 연구되었다. 부분가수 분해된 TEOS-이소프로판을 용액에 titanium isopropoxide를 첨가한후 겔화시킨 습윤겔을 초임계건조(25$0^{\circ}C$, 1250 psig)하여 모노리스 타입 에어로겔을 합성하였으며, SiO2-10 mol% TiO2 에어로겔의 밀도와 기공율은 각각 0.23 g/㎤와 90% 이었다. 초임계건조시 티타늄의 함량이 증가함에 따라 수축율이 증가할 뿐만 아니라 티타니아는 anatase 상으로 상전이됨과 동시에 입자 응집에 의해 100~800nm 크기의 cluster로 에어로겔 내에 균일하게 분포되었다. 불투명한 에어로겔은 8$mu extrm{m}$ 이하의 적외 영역에서 순수 실리카 에어로겔에 비하여 매우 낮은 광투과율과 $600^{\circ}C$까지 높은 미세구조 안정성을 보여주었다.

The present work considers the concept of enzymatic photoelectrochemical generation of hydrogen through water splitting using a Xe lamp as a source of light. A solar cell was applied to the system in order to shift the level of electrochemical energy of the system, resulting in the rate of hydrogen production at $43\;{\mu}mol/(cm^2{\times}hr)$ in cathodic compartment with an anodized tubular $TiO_2$ electrode(ATTE, $5^{\circ}C$/1hr in 0.5 wt% HF-$650^{\circ}C$/5hr). The trend of the rate of hydrogen production, for the ATTEs with different annealing temperature from $350^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$, fairly well coincided with the photoelectrical properties measured by potentiostat. The actual chemical bias through imposition of two electrolytes of different pHs between anode(13.68) and cathode(7.5) was 0.24eV.

Lead titanate ($PbTiO_3$) powder was prepared from lead nitrate ($Pb(NO_3)_2$) and titania ($TiO_2$) by hydrothermal route. Phase formation process was investigated by observing the phases formed in various experimental conditions like different KOH concentration, reaction temperature and time. $PbTiO_3$ powder was fabricated when the KOH concentration was 0.8M or higher. An intermediate compound, $PbTi_{0.8}O_{2.6}$, was formed at first by a reaction between PbO and $TiO_2$ and changed into $PbTiO_3$ powder with a perovskite crystal structure. A $PbTiO_3$ phase was formed in a shorter time when a KOH concentration was increased from 0.8M to 8M because a driving force for a $PbTiO_3$ formation was increased due to an increase in a degree of supersaturation. And $TiO_2$ (rutile) and $3PbO{\cdot}H_2O$ were observed at room temperature in a 0.8M KOH solution and $TiO_2$(rutile) and PbO (litharge) in a 8M KOH. A $PbTiO_3$phase was also formed in a shorter time at a higher reaction temperature as a reaction temperature influenced the rates for a dissolution and a precipitation.

Anodized tubular $TiO_2$ electrodes (ATTEs) with three noticeably different lengths are prepared to determine their optimum length for the photo-driven activity in the reaction of Cr(VI) reduction and hydrogen evolution. The ATTEs with ethylene glycol have longer $TiO_2$ tubes (7-15.6 ${\mu}m$) than those with hydrfluoric acid (0.6-0.8 ${\mu}m$). These samples, which differ only in the length of the tubes, with a wall thickness of ca. 20 nm, consist mainly of an anatase crystalline phase after heat treatment at $650^{\circ}C$, since the anatase crystallites at the tube walls do not undergo transformation into rutile phase, due to the constraints imposed by the wall thickness. Among them, the medium size (ca. 8 ${\mu}m$) tubes provide the optimum conditions, irrespective of the light intensity, which is explained in terms of the correlation between the amount of photons and the adsorbed electron acceptors and their location. Photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction leads to ca. 60% reduction of Cr(VI) even under 1 sun irradiation with the medium-sized anodized $TiO_2$ tubes, but only ca. 20% with the short- and long-sized tubes. For hydrogen evolution, tubes longer than 8 ${\mu}m$ do not exhibit better performance with any light intensity.

현재 넓은 표면적과 메조기공 뿐만 아니라 $TiO_2$의 넓은 band gap과 그 광학 활성 등으로 인하여 크게 각광받고 있는 메조포러스 $TiO_2$ 박막을 합성하기 위해 여러 가지 합성방법이 제시되고 있으나, 그 합성이 습도나 온도 등의 여러조건에 따라 크게 영향을 받아 재현성이 떨어진다는 치명적인 문제점이 제기되어 왔다. 이는 합성 용액 내에서 $TiO_2$ 전구체가 가수분해 및 축합반응을 하면서 구조유도체와의 자기조립에 의한 나노구조물 형성하는 과정에서 $TiO_2$의 전구체가 온도나 습도 등 주변의 영향을 많이 받기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 구조의 메조기공을 가진 $TiO_2$ 박막을 재현성 있게 얻을 수 있는 실험 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위해 촉매인 HCl과 $TiO_2$ 전구체의 몰비 그리고 $TiO_2$ 전구체와 P-123의 몰비 등의 합성 조건뿐 아니라 코팅과정 도중이나 이후의 습도와 온도가 미치는 영향에 대한 실험을 수행하였고 그 특성을 XRD와 TEM 등으로 분석하였다.

미세 $BaTiO_3$ 분말의 합성을 위해 함수 티타니아와 수산화바륨을 원료로 수열합성 실험을 수행하여, 반응시간, 온도, 농도 변화에 따른 전화율, 결정구조 및 생성 분말의 물성을 조사하였다. 전화율에 미치는 영향은 시간 < 온도 < 농도 순이었으며, 2.0 M의 원료를 $180^{\circ}C$에서 2 h 수열합성 시킬 때 최대 전화율을 99.5%를 얻을 수 있었다. 낮은 농도(0.25 M)에서는 고온에서도 미반응 $BaCO_3$와 미반응 $TiO_2$ 생성을 피할 수 없었으며, 이 미반응 물질들은 고온에서 $BaTi_2O_5$를 생성시켜 불순물로 존재하였다. 농도를 높일수록 합성 $BaTiO_3$ 분말의 크기는 작아졌으며, 분말의 Ba/Ti 비도 1에 접근하였다. 2.0M 이상의 농도에서는 $180^{\circ}C$, 2 h 반응에서 Ba/Ti 비는 $1{\pm}0.005$ 이였다.
