In this study, ZnO nanorods were grown by a hydrothermal method. $SiO_2/Si$ wafers and glass were used as substrates. ~20 nm-thick ZnO thin films were rf magnetron sputtered for seed layers. The precursor was prepared by mixing zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) in DI water. The concentration of zinc nitrate hexahydrate was fixed at 0.05 mol, and that of hexamine was varied between 0 mol to 0.1 mol. The reactor containing substrates and precursor was put in an oven maintained at $90^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. X-ray diffraction was carried out to analyze the crystallinity of ZnO nanorods, and a field emission scanning electron microscope was employed to observe the morphology of nanorods. Transmittance and absorbance were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Photoluminescence measurements were conducted using 266 nm light.

질산니켈과 아연을 에탄올 용매하에서 환류반응시켜 얻은 활성화시킨 촉매는 히드라진 존재하에서 방향족 니트로화합물을 주로 아족시 화합물로 환원시켜 주었다. 그러나 질산니켈 대신 염화니켈을 사용하여 얻은 촉매는 같은 조건하에서 단지 방향족 아민만을 얻을 수 있었다. 활성화시키지 않고, 방향족 니트로화합물, 염화니켈이나 질산니켈, 아연 그리고 히드라진 혼합물을 환류반응 시킬 때는 낮은 수율의 아조, 아족시와 아민 화합물을 얻을 수 있었다.

Boron-doped ZnO:Al films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering. The structural and optical property variations of the films with the boron amounts were studied. ZnO nanorods were grown on $SiO_2/Si$ wafers and glass by a hydrothermal method. ~50 nm-thick boron-doped ZnO:Al films were deposited on the substrates as seed layers. The mixed solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine in DI water was used as a precursor for ZnO nanorods. The concentration of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and that of hexamethylenetetramine were 0.05 mol, respectively. ZnO nanorods were grown at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. X-ray diffraction was conducted to observe the crystallinity of ZnO nanorods. A field emission scanning electron microscope was employed to study the morphology of nanorods. Optical transmittance was measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence was carried out with 266 nm light. The ZnO nanorods grown on the 0.5 wt% boron-doped ZnO seed layer showed the best crystallinity.

ZnO nanorods were grown on $SiO_2$ coated Si wafers and glass by the hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties variation of ZnO nanorods as a function of growing time was studied. ~10 nm-thick ZnO thin films deposited on substrates by rf magnetron sputtering were employed as seed layers. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (0.05 M) and hexamethylenetetramine (0.05 M) mixed in DI water were used as a reaction solution. ZnO nanorods were respectively grown for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h by maintaining the reactor at $90^{\circ}C$. Crystallinity of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of nanorods was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Transmittance and absorbance were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and energy band gap and urbach energy were obtained from the data. Photoluminescence measurements were carried out using Nd-Yag laser (266 nm).

We investigated annealing effects of seed layers on the properties of ZnO nanorods grown on the seed layers. ZnO nanorods were grown by a hydrothermal method. ~100 nm-thick ZnO films were sputtered on oxidized Si wafers and quartz as seed layers. The ZnO films were annealed at $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, and $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. ZnO nanorods were grown at $90^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours in the mixed solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine. X-ray diffraction was carried out to estimate the crystallinity and strain of ZnO films and nanorods. A field emission scanning electron microscope was employed to observe the morphology of the films and nanorods. PL(photoluminescence) measurements were conducted with 266 nm light. It was found that the annealing of seed layers increase the growth rate of nanorods, and change compressive strain of nanorods to tensile strain. The intensity of PL in the UV region reduced by using the annealed seed layers.

Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were dissolved in distilled water and stirred for 30 min. The resulting solution was sonicated by an ultrasonic wave for 45 min. This solution was washed with distilled water and ethanol after centrifugation; next, it was placed in an electric furnace at 200℃ for 1 h under the flow of Ar gas to obtain zinc oxide nanoparticle. A zinc oxide nanoparticle-(C60) fullerene nanowhisker composite was synthesized using the zinc oxide nanoparticle solution, C60-saturated toluene, and isopropyl alcohol via the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method. The zinc oxide nanoparticle and zinc oxide nanoparticle-(C60) fullerene nanowhisker composite were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, and they were used for the catalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet (at 254 and 365 nm) and ultrasonic irradiation. In addition, the catalytic degradation of MO over the zinc oxide nanoparticle and zinc oxide nanoparticle-(C60) fullerene nanowhisker composite was evaluated using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.

$Al_2O_3$ has received wide attention with established use as a catalyst and growing application in structural or functional ceramic materials. On the other hand, the boehmite (AlO(OH)) obtained by sol-gel process has exhibited a decrease in surface area during phase transformation due to a decline in surface active site at high temperature. In this work, $Al_2O_3$-CuO/ZnO (ACZ) and $Al_2O_3$-CuO/CeO (ACC) composite materials were synthesized with aluminum isopropoxide, copper (II) nitrate hemi (pentahydrate), and cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate or zinc (II) nitrate hexahydrate. Moreover, the Span 80 as the template block copolymer was added to the ACZ/ACC composition to make nano size particles and to keep increasing the surface area. The ACZ/ACC synthesized powders were characterized by Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Field-Emmision Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Bruner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis and thermal electrical conductivity (ZEM-2:M8/L). An enhancement of surface area with the addition to Span 80 surfactant was observed in the ACZ powders from 105 $m^2$/g to 142 $m^2$/g, and the ACC powders from 103 $m^2$/g to 140 $m^2$/g, respectively.

A low power methane gas sensor with microheater was fabricated by silicon bulk micromachining technology. In order to heat up the sensing layer to operating temperature, a platinum (Pt) micro heater was embedded in the gas sensor. The line width and gap of the microheater was 20 ${\mu}m$ and 4.5 ${\mu}m$, respectively. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowhisker arrays were grown on a sensor from a ZnO seed layer using a hydrothermal method. A 200 ml aqueous solution of 0.1 mol zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 0.1 mol hexamethylenetetramine, and 0.02 mol polyethylenimine was used for growing ZnO nanowhiskers. Temperature distribution of the sensor was analyzed by infrared thermal camera. The optimum temperature for highest sensitivity was found to be $250^{\circ}C$ although relatively high (64%) sensitivity was obtained even at as low a temperature as $150^{\circ}C$. The power consumption was 72 mW at $250^{\circ}C$, and only 25 mW at $150^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 수용액 상에서 침전법과 수열합성법을 이용하여 나노크기의 ZnO 분말을 합성하였다. 두 합성방법 모두 출발원료로는 Zn-nitrate hexahydrate($Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$)와 NaOH 수용액을 사용하였고, 이들의 혼합용액에 합성조건 즉 반응 pH, 온도 및 Zn precursor의 몰 농도를 달리하여 ZnO 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 두 합성법 모두에서 단일 상 ZnO는 낮은 Zn 농도 높은 pH 및 높은 온도 조건에서 합성되기 쉬웠다. 합성된 분말의 형상은 flake(plate), multipod 및 rod 형태로 합성 조건에 따라 그 형태의 조절이 가능하였다. 침전법에 비해 수열합성법은 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하인 비교적 낮은 합성온도에서도, 본 연구의 Zn 농도 전 구간(0.1~1 M)과 넓은 pH 범위에서 결정성이 우수한 ZnO 단일 상을 합성할 수 있는 장점을 보여주었다.

산화아연은 높은 열전도도와 열용량을 갖으며, 결정 부피의 44%만이 아연 및 산소 이온으로 채워져 있어 결함의 생성이 다양하여 여러 가지 전기적, 광전기적, 촉매 특성등을 부여할 수 있어 산업전반에 널리 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초음파 분무 연소합성법을 이용하여 Zinc nitrate hexahydrate를 산화제로, Carbohydrazide를 환원제로 사용하여, 연소합성을 위한 에너지를 최대희 얻기 위해 산화수와 환원수의 비율이 1:1이 되게 조절하여 전구체의 산화ㆍ환원 반응을 이용하여 액적의 체류시간, 농도, 온도, filtering 효과등을 조절하면서 액적 단위로 연소반응을 유도함으로써 부가적인 하소과정이 필요없이 상전이가 완료된 구형의 나노크기 ZnO 분말을 in-situ로 제조하여 입자의 크기와 형 태, 결정상등을 분석하였다.
