Barium titanate nanoparticles were synthesized under N$_2$ atmosphere by the hydrolysis and condensation of barium hydroxide octahydrate and titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The synthesized particles were aggregates of nanosized primary particles. The primary particles of about 20-50 nm in diameter became building blocks of larger secondary particles, which are in most cases spherical in shape. The size and morphological evolution of secondary particles are strongly related to the precursor concentration. The observations suggest that formation and control of secondary particles is an essential step in the alkoxidehydroxide sol-precipitation process to obtain monodispersed barium titanate nanopowders.

The preparation of A1203-SiO2 thin films from less than one micron to several tens of microns in thickness had been Prepared from metal alkoxide sols. Two methods, dip-withdrawal and electrophoretic deposition, were employed for thin films and sheets formation. The requirements to be satisfied by the solution for preparing uniform and strong films and by the factors affecting thickness and other properties of the films were examined. For the preparation of thin, continuous A12O3-SiO2 films, therefore, metal-organic-derived precursor solutions contained Si and Al in a chemically polymerized form has been developed and produced in a clear liquid state.

The structures of modified Ti$(OPr^i)_4$ with chelating ligands (L) such as ethylacetoacetate (Etac), acetylacetone (Acac) and methylacetoacetate (Mtac) were identified by using IR, ¹H NMR and $^13C$ NMR spectroscopies, and the octahedral structure was confirmed after modification. The pre-edge peaks of XANES spectra of modified metal alkoxides also denoted the mixture of five-fold and six-fold structures. The EXAFS fitting results showed the local structure around Ti atom after alkoxide modification. The hydrolysis-condensation rates of modified Ti alkoxide with organic additives were investigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The Ti$(OPr^i)_4$ modified by Acac was less reactive toward hydrolysis-condensation reaction than those modified by the other alkoxides, which can be attributed to the stable ligand structure between Ti$(OPr^i)_4$ and Acac. The small particle size of modified Ti$(OPr^i)_4$ sol was obtained when Acac was employed.

In order to improve the oxidative resistance of carbon/carbon composites, aluminium-isopropoxide and aluminium-tri-sec-butoxide sol were coated on the surface of 2D--carbon/carbon composiles and the effects uf coating were investigated. The effects of oxidative resistance were dominant in the case of catalyst/alkoxide mole ratio, 0.07, and $H_2O$/alkoxide mole ratio, 100. Through the dynamic TGA analysis with the heating rate of 20%/min, oxidative initiation tempera~ ture was enhanced about $80^{\circ}C$. The oxidative resistance effects of alkoxide sol were improved according to the times of coating. Also the 20% weight loss time of coated samples by TGA analysis was 20% better than that of un~ coated samples. The thickness of 1^{st} coated layer was about 3${\mu}$m and that of $2^{nd}$ and $3^{nd}$ coated layers was about respectively 4~5${\mu}$m and the weight loss were increased with the increasing of thermal shock test times.

$TiO_2$ and $xTiO_2-ySiO_2$ system photocatalysts were developed by sol-gel method based on the change of production parameters, and their structure of crystallization and the specific surface area was measured. Considering the efficiency of the ethanol decomposition using the catalyst, the conclusion was made as follows: 1) By means of X-ray analysis of $TiO_2$ powder that is obtained from water and Titanium alkoxide with various molar ratios, it is shown that structure of crystallization is a dominating structure and, on the other hand, the crystallization of rutile also partly exists. The specific surface area is at its maximum value at R=6, which is the molar ratio of water vs. alkoxide, whereas its value goes down as the molar ratio increases. In the reaction of using $TiO_2$ catalyst, the ethanol is decomposed into the extent of 15 ~30% in an hour and three hours are necessitated for 70% decomposition. 2) $TiO_2/SiO_2$ powder is developed from Titanium and Silicon alkoxide by a hetero-condensation process. The increase of SiO$_2$ contents causes the decrease of the degree of crystallization of the gel, whereas the specific surface area preferentially increases. In the decomposition reaction of the ethanol, the decomposition efficiency represents 25~60% in an hour. It is, however, examined that the efficiency inactively increases corresponding to the duration of reaction time. It is shown that more than 90% of ethanol is decomposed when reaction time is about three hours and the efficiency illustrates the maximum value for 60-$TiO_2/4O-SiO_2$ catalyst.

Advanced electronic application areas have strongly required new materials due to the continuous shrinking dimensions of their devices. Specially, the development and use of metal precursors for atomic layer deposition has been extensively focused on application to electronic devices. Thus the systematic design and synthesis of metal compounds with relevant chemical and physical properties, such as stability, volatility, and resistance to air and moisture are very important in the vacuum deposition fields. In many case, organic ligands for metal precursors are especially focused in the related research areas because the large scale synthesis of the metal complexes with excellent properties exclusively depends on the potential usefulness of the ligands. It is recommended for metal complexes to be in monomeric forms because mononuclear complexes generally show high vapor pressures comparing with their oligomeric structure such as dimer and trimer. Simple metal alkoxides complexes are involatile except several examples such as Ti(OiPr)4, Si(OEt)4, and Hf(OtBu)4. Thus the coordinated atom of alkoxide ligands should be crowded in its own environment with some substituents by prohibiting the coordinated atoms from bonding to another metal through oxygen-bridging configuration. Alkoxide ligands containing donor-functionalized group such as amino and alkoxy which can induce the increasing of the coordinative saturation of the metal complexes and the decreasing of the intermolecular interaction between or among the metal compounds. In this presentation, we will discuss the development of metal compounds which adopted donor-functionalized alkoxide ligands derived from their alcohols for electronic application. Some recent results on ALD using metal precursors such as tin, nickel, ruthenium, and tungsten developed in our group will be disclosed.
