We have been prepared the porous silicon carbide (PSC) by electrochemical etching of silicon carbide single crystals. Samples of PSC have been studied by the methods of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). Two PL bands attributed to the blue and green light emission were observed in this study. According to the anodization conditions, the main source of emission in the oxidized layers of PSC lies in the different surface defect centers which consist of different geometrical structures due to the polytypes. It means that origin of these PL bands may be existed in different size pores simultaneously. The present results indicate that the high energy band comes from the top porous layers while the low energy band comes from the lower porous layers.

This study presents the dynamic characteristics of an impinging droplet on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces with various texture area fractions. The flat surface was fabricated by using the drilling technique to make micro-meter hole-patterned surfaces, which shows hydrophobic textured surfaces. Moreover, the hydrophilic textured surfaces were manufactured by anodizing technique on the micro-meter hole-patterned surfaces to generate multi-layer surfaces. Impinging droplet experiments were conducted for various hole-patterned surfaces, with changing impact velocity and texture area fractions. It is observed that an anodizing technique increases wettability by decrease in hole diameter on the textured surfaces. However, micro-drilled surfaces decreases wettability because the hole diameter was so large that air can be trapped under the holes. In addition, the maximum spreading diameter decreases with the texture area fraction for the micro-drilled surfaces because of decrease in wettability.

The present works were performed that titanium foil was anodized in various dilution ratios of seawater and distilled water with 10V external voltage applied, then annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ to obtain $TiO_2$ on the Ti substrate. The prepared samples were characterized by instruments (XRD, SEM, and photocurrent) and used to investigate rate of hydrogen production in photoelectrochemical cell as well as Cr(VI) reduction. As the results of experiments, the anodized $TiO_2$ in seawater electrolytes, which are ranged from 15 to 50 times dilution of seawater, was showed a relatively higher hydrogen production (ca. 97~110 umol/hr-$cm^2$) and Cr(VI) reduction (ca. 95% reduction).

$TiO_2$는 표면적이 넓고 안정성이 높아 자체의 높은 밴드갭(3.0~3.2 eV)에도 불구하고 산업적으로 염소분해 전극으로써 사용되며, 최근 물분해 전극 적용 연구가 진행되고 있다. 전기화학적 물분해 반응을 위해서는 높은 과전압이 요구되므로 산업적으로 이용하기 위해 전도성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 촉매제의 도핑이 연구되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 표면에 촉매를 도핑시키기 위한 두가지 방법을 연구하였다. 일반적으로 촉매로 사용되는 금속은 루테늄과 이리듐 등의 귀금속이며 촉매가 균일하게 도핑이 될수록 성능은 향상된다. 본 연구에서는 루테늄을 촉매로 선택하였으며 서로 다른 도핑 방법과 용매 하에서 물분해 실험을 진행하여 두 가지 방법의 물분해 효율을 비교하였다.

The $Cu_2(btc)_3$ metal-organic frameworks (MOF) coated anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane was successfully prepared by layer-by-layer technique using hand spray method. It was confirmed that the $Cu_2(btc)_3$ layer, which has the pore sized in 2-3 nm, on surface of AAO exhibited the polycrystalline thin film structure by XRD analysis. More than 100 repetitive spray cycles were required to obtain more robust and thick MOFs on AAO and it was possible to uniformly coat both the top and bottom surfaces of the AAO. It should be noted that the MOFs also could be coated on surface of pores resulting in reduce the size of pore from 52 nm to 32 nm.

In this study, we investigated surface characteristics of hydroxyapatite coated surface on nano/micro pore structured Ti-35Ta-xNb alloys. This paper was focus on morphology and corrosion resistance of Anodic oxidation. To prepare the samples, Ti-35Ta-xNb (x= 0, 10 wt. %) alloys were manufactured by arc melting and heat-treated for 12 h at $1050^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere at $0^{\circ}C$ water quenching. Micro-pore structured surface was performed using anodization with a DC power supply at 280 V for 3 min, nanotube formed on Ti-35Ta-xNb alloys was performed using DC power supply at 30 V in 60 min at room temperature. Surface morphology and structure were examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Multiple rugate structures can be etched on a silicon wafer and placed in the same physical location, showing that many sharp spectral lines can be obtained in the optical reflectivity spectrum. Porous silicon samples were prepared by electrochemical etch of heavily doped p-type silicon wafers. The etching solution consisted of a 3:1 volume mixture of aqueous 48% hydrofluoric acid and absolute ethanol. Galvanostatic etch was carried out in a Teflon cell by using a two-electrode configuration with a Pt mesh counterelectrode. A sinusoidal current density waveform varying between 51.5 and $74.6mA/cm^2$ is applied. The anodization current was supplied by a Keithley 2420 high-precision constant current source which is controlled by a computer to allow the formation of PSi multilayer.

Relationship between etch current and morphology and porosity of porous silicon (PS) has been investigated. The gravimetric method is applied to measured the porosity of PS. As the current density increase, the silicon dissolution rate increases, resulting in a higher porosity and etching rate. The result shows that linear dependence of PS porosity and etching rate as a function of current density. The morphology of porous silicon was investigated by using cold field emission scanning electron micrograph (FE-SEM). The size of pores formed during anodization is predominantly controlled by the current density, with an increase in the pore size corresponding to an increase in the current density.

In Crystalline Si solar cells, Anti-Reflection Coating is contribute to improvement in energy conversion efficiency due to decrease of optical loss and recombination owing to surface passivation. Porous Si is formed electrochemical etching that uses chemical solution and anodization etching. So It gives that advantage in rapid process time and without high cost equipment. In this paper, We compare Porous Si with $SiO_2$/SiNx ARC and analyze that by anti-reflection coating.

The ellipso-microscopic observation of a titanium surface undergoing anodization in $0.05mol\;dm^{-3}$ of $H_2SO_4$ was conducted. During irradiation by ultra-violet (UV) light with a wavelength of 325 nm, the titanium surface allowed for the flow of a photo-induced current and showed up as a bright, patch-like image on an ellipso-microscopic view. The brightness and patch-pattern in the image changed with flowing photo-induced current. The changes in the brightness and the image corresponded to the formation and/or degradation of titanium oxide due to the photo-electrochemical reaction of the oxide. An in situ monitoring using the ellipso-microscope revealed that the film change was dependent on the irradiation light power, by UV-light increases the anodic current and results in the initiation of pitting at lower potentials as compared with the non-irradiated condition.
