ZnO varistor with composition of ZnO(90wt%)-$Bi_2O_3$(3wt%)-$Sb_2O_3$(3.61wt%)-$CO_2O_3$(1.16wt%)-NiO (0.88wt%)-$MnO_2$(0.71wt%)-$Cr_2O_3$(0.93wt%) according to $Al_2O_3$ addtive was fabricated by sintering methods. The optimal densification were established for the processing conditions of 8000 rpm 190$^{\circ}C$ spray drying and 1200$^{\circ}C$ 2hrs sintering. Then here investigated how additive compotions and processing variables affected the electrical and the phesical properties of these ZnO varistors.

We report epitaxial growth of ZnO thin films on (100) single-crystalline $LaAlO_3$ (LAO) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at different substrate temperatures (400~$800^{\circ}C$). The structural and electrical properties of the films have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), transmission line method (TLM). The poly-crystalline of $\alpha$- and c-axis oriented ZnO film was formed at lower deposition temperature ($T_s$) of $400^{\circ}C$. At higher $T_s$, however, the films exhibit single-crystalline of $\alpha$-axis orientation represented by ZnO[$\bar{1}11$ || LAO <001>. The electrical properties of ZnO thin films depend upon their crystalline orientation, showing lower electrical resistivity values for $\alpha$-axis oriented ZnO films.

An improvement in corrosion resistance of various types of Zn-coated steel sheets is thought to be possible with the addition of fine oxide powder to the coating. In this study the corrosion resistance of the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheet has been investigated and the results were as follows : The corrosion resistance of $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheets was improved by increasing the contents of Co and Cr ions, and also $Al_2O_3$ powders in the bath because of the increased amount of Co, Cr and $Al_2O_3$ in deposits. In the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steels sheet, the structure of deposits was changed from fine microstructure as observed in high Co containing deposits to coarse microstructure as in high Cr and $Al_2O_3$ containing deposits. By cold rolling of the $Al_2O_3$ dispersed Zn-Co-Cr electroplated steel sheets to about 2 percent, thr corrosion resistance was improved further.

$Zn_{1-x}Co_x$ Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF) (x = 0~0.05) were prepared by the co-precipitation of $Zn^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ using 2-methylimidazole, which were converted into pure and Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Homogeneous Zn/Co ZIFs were achieved at x < 0.05 owing to the strong coordination of the imidazole linker to $Zn^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$, facilitating atomic-scale doping of Co into ZnO via annealing. By contrast, heterogeneous Zn/Co ZIFs were formed at $x{\geq}0.05$, resulting in the formation of $Co_3O_4$ second phase. To investigate the potential as high-performance gas sensors, the gas sensing characteristics of pure and Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated. The sensor using 3 at% Co-doped ZnO exhibited an unprecedentedly high response and selectivity to trimethylamine, whereas pure ZnO nanoparticles did not. The facile, bimetallic ZIF derived synthesis of doped-metal oxide nanoparticles can be used to design high-performance gas sensors.

Methylene blue (MB) was degraded by $TiO_2$ and ZnO deposited on an activated carbon fiber (ACF) surface under UV light. The ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, and EDX. The BET surface area was related to the adsorption capacity for composites. The SEM results showed that titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are distributed on the ACF surface. The XRD results showed that the ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites contained a unique anatase structure for $TiO_2$ and a typical hexagonal phase for ZnO respectively. These EDX spectra showed the presence of peaks of Ti element on ACF/$TiO_2$ composite and peaks of Zn element on the ACF/ZnO composite. The blank experiments for either illuminating the MB solution or the suspension containing ACF/$TiO_2$ or ACF/ZnO in the dark showed that both illumination and the catalyst were necessary for the mineralization of organic dye. Additionally, the ACF/$TiO_2$ composites proved to be efficient photocatalysts due to degradation of MB at higher reaction rates. The addition of an oxidant $([NH_4]_2S_2O_8)$ led to an increase of the degradation rate of MB for ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites.

Transparent ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by a KrF pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique with different process conditions such as substrate temperature ($T_s$) and oxygen ambient pressure ($pO_2$). Surface morphology, crystal structure, and electrical properties of the ZnO films were investigated in order to characterize their thin film properties. The pulsed laser deposited ZnO films showed highly c-oriented crystalline structures depending on the process conditions: the highest FWHM (Full Width Half Maximum) value of (002) peak was observed for the ZnO film prepared at $T_{s}=550^{\circ}C$, $pO_2$=5mTorr and laser fluence of $2J/cm^2$.

$Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS$-sensitized $K_4Nb_6O_{17}$ composite photocatalysts (designated $Cd_{1-x}Zn_xS/K_4Nb_6O_{17}$) were prepared via a simple deposition-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), $N_2$ sorption, ultraviolet-visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), photoluminescence measurements (PL), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S$ particles were scattered on the surface of $K_4Nb_6O_{17}$, and had a relatively uniform size distribution around 50 nm. The absorption edge of $K_4Nb_6O_{17}$ was shifted to the visible light region and the recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes suppressed after $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S$ loading. The $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S$(25 wt %)/$K_4Nb_6O_{17}$ composite possessed the highest photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation, evolving 8.278 mmol/g in 3 h. Recyclability tests were performed, and the composite photocatalysts were found to be fairly stable. The mechanism of charge separation between the photogenerated electrons and holes at the $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S/K_4Nb_6O_{17}$ composite was discussed.

ZnS and $ZnS/TiO_2$ were prepared by chemical deposition. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The generation of reactive oxygen species was detected by monitoring the oxidation reaction from 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO). Excellent catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution was observed using the $ZnS/TiO_2$ composites during irradiation with visible light. The results show that the photocatalytic performance of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is improved by loading with ZnS.

The catalytic oxidation of CO has been investigated on $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ at temperatures from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ under various P_{CO} and PO_2 conditions. The oxidation rates have been correlated with 1.5-order kinetics: first order with respect to CO and 0.5 order with respect to O2. CO appears to be absorbed essentially on the O lattice of $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ as a molecular species, while $O_2$ adsorbs on an O vacancy as an ionic species. The conductivity data show that CO adsorption contributes electron to the conduction band and the adsorption process of $O_2$ withdraws it from an O vacancy. The oxidation mechanism and the defect model of $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ are inferred at given temperature and $PO_2'$s from the agreement between the conductivities and kinetic data. It is suggested that CO absorption is the rate-controlling.

ZnO powder as phosphor was prepared by precipitation method with zinc acetate and ammonia solution and the size and shapes of precipitates were examined with variation of pH and concentration of solution. Its cathodoluminesence properties was evaluated with various heat tratment condition. Optimum con-dition for uniform precipitates was 11.8 of pH and 0.4M of concentration. ZnO:Zn phosphor was obtained by heat treatment of precipitates in reduction atmosphere using ZnS powder. With addition of 20wt% ZnS and 1 hour firing at 1000$^{\circ}C$ the highest cathodoluminescence was obtained.
