This study was aimed at synthesizing and characterizing cerium-doped titania. Cerium-doped anatase titania powders were prepared by sol-gel process, with ammonium (IV) nitrate and titanium (IV) butoxide as the raw materials. The characteristics of pure $TiO_2$ and cerium-doped $TiO_2$ were investigated by XRD, TG/DTA, FE-SEM, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results of this study show that anatase type of $TiO_2$ was obtained in as-prepared and calcined $TiO_2$ and Ce-$TiO_2$ powder. A DTA curve was also observed as the crystallization temperature decreased with increasing cerium contents. We found that the crystallite size of the obtained anatase particles decreased from 55 nm to 25 nm and the particle size decreased with increasing cerium contents. Moreover, UV-vis spectra showed that anatase titania powders with various cerium contents effectively extend the light absorption properties to the visible region.

Anatase $TiO_2$에 각기 다른 텅스텐(W) 함유원료와 제조방법을 적용하여 $WO_3$ 촉매가 첨가된 SCR(selective catalytic reduction)용 분말을 합성하였으며, W 촉매 첨가가 합성분말의 상합성 및 SCR 촉매능에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 촉매의 지지체인 $TiO_2$는 침전법으로 anatase 상으로 합성되었으며, anatase에서 고온상인 rutile로의 상전이 온도는 $1200^{\circ}C$였으나, $WO_3$를 10 wt% 첨가할 경우 이 상전이 온도는 $900^{\circ}C$로 낮아졌다. 건식으로 $WO_3$ 분말을 직접 첨가하여 $WO_3(10wt%)/TiO_2$를 제조한 경우 $350^{\circ}C$에서 $NO_X$ 제거 촉매능이 최고점에 이르나 온도증가에 따라 그 효율이 상당히 감소하였다. 암모늄-메타-텅스테이트를 습식으로 첨가하여 제조한 경우, 보다 고온인 $450^{\circ}C$에서 촉매능이 최고점에 이르렀으며 온도에 따른 효율감소 폭도 적었다. 이와 같은 경향은 $WO_3$와 $V_2O_5$를 동시 첨가하여 제조한 $V_2O_5(5wt%)-WO_3(10wt%)/TiO_2$ 촉매에서도 나타났다. 즉, 암모늄-메타-텅스테이트를 습식으로 첨가한 경우, $WO_3$를 직접 첨가한 경우에 비해 넓은 온도범위($300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$)에 걸쳐 90 %에 이상의 우수한 $NO_X$ 변환효율을 보였다.

아연결정유약에 Anatase 형 $TiO_2$에 의해 생성되는 $Zn_2TiO_4$가 효과적인 결정 생성제로 나타났다. 이에 저온에서 생성되는 $Zn_2TiO_4$를 인위적으로 합성하여 유약의 미치는 효과를 규명하였다. 첨가 $Zn_2TiO_4$는 저온에서 생성되는 결정으로 아연결정 W의 핵으로 작용하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 합성된 $Zn_2TiO_4$를 유약에 5 wt% 첨가하면 유약 내에 결정생성이 증가하며 안정적으로 유지된다. 특히, $Zn_2TiO_4$ 합성 시 발색제로 CoO, NiO, CuO를 각각 고용시켜 유약에 첨가하면 발색제의 고용효과가 커져 Willemite 결정의 다양한 발색에 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

In this thesis, it is investigated the characteristics of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) according to variation of $TiO_2$ thickness (6, 12, 18, and $24{\mu}m$) and three distinct $TiO_2$ sintering temperatures (350, 450 and $550^{\circ}C$) by XRD, SEM, I-V and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. According to sintering temperature, $TiO_2$ was transformed into the anatase structure at $350^{\circ}C$, rutile structure at $550^{\circ}C$ and further into the two structure at $450^{\circ}C$. With increasing thickness up to $18{\mu}m$ and sintering temperature up to $450^{\circ}C$, respectively, the irradiance rate increased in the range of 9~26 percent and 2.80~5.10 percent. Whereas a further increase to $24{\mu}m$ and $550^{\circ}C$, the irradiance rate decrease in the range of 4~11 percent and 30~47 percent. The conversion efficiency increased in the range of 2.80~5.01 and 3.03~5.01 with increasing thickness up to $18{\mu}m$ and sintering temperature up to $450^{\circ}C$. By contrast, increase to $24{\mu}m$ and $550^{\circ}C$, the conversion efficiency decreased in the range of 3.31~5.01 and 2.80~3.89, respectively. The DSSC that thickness of $TiO_2$ were $18{\mu}m$ and sintered at $450^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most excellent characteristics, in which open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, Fill Factor and conversion efficiency are 0.69 V, $11.4mA/cm^2$, 0.64 and 5.01%, respectively.

It prepared the $TiO_2$ powder which has photo-catalytic activity in the visible-light by the wet process with titanium oxysulfate. The titanium $dioxide(TiO_2)$ by the wet process creates a new absorption band in the visible light region, and is expected to create photocatalytic activity in this region. Anatase $TiO_2$ powder which has photocatalytic activity in the visible light region, is treated using microwave and radio-frequency(RF) plasma. But, the $TiO_2$ powder for the visible light region, which also can be easily produced by wet process. The wet process $TiO_2$ absorbed visible light between 400nm and 600nm, and showed a high activity in this region, as measured by the oxidation removal of aceton from the gas phase. The AH-380 sample appears the yellow color to be strong, the catalytic activity in the visible ray was excellent in comparison with the plasma-treated $TiO_2$. The AH-380 $TiO_2$ powder, which can be easily produced on a large scale, is expected to have higher efficiency in utilizing solar energy than the plasma-treated $TiO_2$ powder.

For the production of functional $TiO_2$-biodegradable plastic (polybutylene succinate:PBS) composite material with photocayalytic activity, we attempted to prepare $TiO_2$ coatings on PBS substrate by HVOF and plasma spraying techniques under various conditions. The microstructures of coatings were characterized with SEM and XRD analysis, and the photocatalytic efficiency of coatings was evaluated by the photo degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde. The effects of primary particle size and spraying parameters on the formation behavior, photocatalytic performance of the coatings have been investigated. The results indicated that for both the HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings, the high anatase ratio of 100% can be achieved regardless of fuel gas pressure. On the other hand, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coating exhibited a largely decreased anatase ratio (from 100% to 49.1%) with increasing the fuel gas pressure, which may be attributed to much higher susceptibility of heat for 7 nm agglomerated powder. HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings show better performance as compared to that of plasma sprayed $P_{200}$ coatings owing to the higher anatase ratio. However, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coatings did not show the photocatalytic activity, which may result from the extremely small reaction surface area to the photocatalytic activity and low anatase ratio.

Quantitative evaluation of photocatalytic activity of oxide nanoparticles in aqueous solution is quite challenging in that the kinetic reaction rate is determined by a complicated interplay among various limiting factors such as light scattering and absorption, diffusion and adsorption of reactants in condensed liquid phase, photoexcited charge separation and recombination rate, and the exact nature of active sites determined by detailed morphology and crystallinity of nanocrystals. Here, we present our simple experimental results showing that the kinetic regime of a typical photocatalytic degradation experiment over UV-irradiated $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in aqueous solution is in that dominated by the photoactivity of $TiO_2$ and its concentration. This result lays a firm ground of using the measured kinetic reaction rate in evaluating photocatalytic efficiency of oxide nanocrystals under evaluation.

연구목적: 최근 치과용 임플란트의 임상 경향이 전체 치료기간을 줄일 수 있는 방법에 관심이 집중됨에 따라 불활성의 티타늄 임플란트 표면에 활성을 부여하기 위한 다양한 표면처리 방법이 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 강도가 요구되는 부위의 임플란트 재료로서 사용되고 있지만 표면 특성이 순 티타늄에 비해 떨어지는 Ti-6Al-4V 합금의 골전도성을 개선할 목적으로 시행되었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: $20{\times}10{\times}2\;mm$의 Ti-6Al-4V 합금판을 준비한 다음 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브를 형성하기 위해 DC 정전원 장치의 양극과 음극에 각각 시편과 백금판을 결선하고 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$와 1.0 wt% NaF를 함유하는 전해액을 사용하여 전압 20 V와 전류밀도 $30\;㎃/cm^2$ 조건에서 2시간 동안 양극산화 처리하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 형성 후 산화 피막층의 결정화를 유도하기 위해 $600^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리하였고, 표면활성도를 개선하기 위해 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ 수용액 24시간 침적과 $Ca(OH)_2$ 포화 수용액에 5시간 침적을 시행하였다. 준비한 시편의 표면 반응성을 조사하기 위해 pH와 무기이온의 농도를 사람의 혈장과 유사하게 조절한 Hanks 용액 (H2387, Sigma Chemical Co., USA)에 2주간 침적하였다. 결과: 20 V에서의 양극산화처리로 직경 48.0 - 65.0 ㎚ 범위의 무정형의 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브가 전체 표면에 걸쳐서 균일하게 생성되는 양상을 보였다. $TiO_2$ 나노튜브는 $600^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 열처리 후 상대적으로 강한 anatase 피크와 함께 rutile 피크가 관찰되었다. $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 표면활성도는 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ 수용액 24시간 침적과 $Ca(OH)_2$ 포화수용액에 5시간 침적으로 개선되었다. 열처리와 전석회화 처리 후 SBF에 침적한 결과, $TiO_2$ rutile 피크의 상대적 강도는 크게 증가되었지만 HA의 석출은 저하되는 경향을 보였다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 양극산화 처리한 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브는 $600^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리에 의해 피막층이 안정화되고, 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ 수용액 24시간 침적과 $Ca(OH)_2$ 포화수용액에 5시간 침적으로 표면에 인산칼슘층을 형성하는 것이 표면활성도를 개선하는데 유효함을 알 수 있었다.

$TiO_2$ films were deposited on a glass substrate with RF magnetron sputtering and then surface of $TiO_2$ films were electron beam irradiated in a vacuum condition to investigate the effect of electron bombardment on the thin film crystallization, surface roughness and gas sensitivity for hydrogen. $TiO_2$ films that electron beam irradiated at 450eV were amorphous phase, while the films irradiated at 900 eV show the anatase (101) diffraction peak in XRD pattern. AFM measurements show that the roughness is depend on the electron irradiation energy. As increase the hydrogen gas concentration and operation temperature, the gas sensitivity of $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2$/ZnO films is increased proportionally and $TiO_2$ films that electron beam irradiated at 900 eV show the higher sensitivity than the films were irradiated at 450eV. From the XRD pattern and AFM observation, it is supposed that the crystallization and rough surface promote the hydrogen gas sensitivity of $TiO_2$ films.

N-doped anatase $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel process followed by a hydrothermal treatment and successfully used as the photoanodes in organic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). As expected, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.44% was obtained for the NKX2677/HC-A-sensitized DSSC based on the 30 mol% N-doped $TiO_2$ photoanode, which was an improvement of 23% relative to that of the DSSC based on the NKX2677/DCA.
