The 0.9PMN-0.1PT powders was prepared by the sol-gel process, and the effect amounts of ${Mg(OC_{2}H_{5})}_2$ and ${Pb(CH_{3}COO)}_2.3H_{2}O$ as starting materials was studied. As a result the percent of perovskite phase of the calcined powders increased with increased calcination temperatures. Maximum of perovskite phase was at $850^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs. 0.9PMN-0.1PT powder by addition of 5 wt% excess ${Mg(OC_{2}H_{5})}_2$ crystallized to perovskite phase with a ${\fallingdotseq}100%$ yield.

Graphitic g-$C_3N_4-WO_3$ composite was synthesized simply by decomposing melamine in the presence of $WO_3$ at $500^{\circ}C$. The obtained material was characterized by XRD, SEM, IR and XPS. The results showed that the as-prepared composite exhibits orthorhombic $WO_3$ phase coated by g-$C_3N_4$ and the g-$C_3N_4$ decomposed completely with N-doped $WO_3$ remaining at elevated calcination temperatures. The photocatalytic activity of the composite was evaluated by the photodegradation of methylene blue under visible light. An enhancement in photocatalytic activity for the graphitic g-$C_3N_4-WO_3$ composite compared to the conventional nitrogen-doped $WO_3$ was observed, which can be attributed to the presence of g-$C_3N_4$ in the material.

V2O5/TiO2-ZrO2 catalyst modified with V2O5 was prepared by adding Ti(OH)4-Zr(OH)4 powder into an aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate followed by drying and calcining at high temperatures. The characterization of prepared catalysts was performed using XRD, DSC, solid-state 51V NMR, and FTIR. In the case of calcination temperature of 500 oC, for the catalysts containing low loading V2O5 below 25 wt % vanadium oxide was in a highly dispersed state, while for catalysts containing high loading V2O5 equal to or above 25 wt % vanadium oxide was well crystallized due to the V2O5 loading exceeding the formation of monolayer on the surface of TiO2-ZrO2. The strong acid sites were formed through the bonding between dispersed V2O5 and TiO2-ZrO2. The larger the dispersed V2O5 amount, the higher both the acidity and catalytic activities for acid catalysis.

In this study, our varistors based on M. Matsuoka's composition were fabricated with ZnO nano-powder whose sizes were 50 nm and 100 nm. Before fabrication of ZnO nano-powder varistors, structure and Phase were analyzed by FE-SEM and XRD with size of ZnO nano-powders to obtain manufacturing information to fabricate the first ZnO varistors using by nano-powders. As a results of these analyses, calcination and sintering temperatures were respectively designed at $600^{\circ}C\;and\;1050^{\circ}C$. ZnO nano-powder varistors were analyzed by SEM and XRD to measure the changes of microstructures and phase after sintered by out process conditions. Also, electrical properties of ZnO nano-powder varistors were obtained by capacitance-voltage, frequency-teal impedance, and current-voltage corves. Our ZnO nano-powder varistors had about 2.5 times of electric field at varistor voltage as compared with normal ZnO varistors fabricated with micro-powder. Also, leakage current and non-liner coefficient respectively had $2.0{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^{-2}$ and 41 for ZnO nano-powder varistors with 50 nm.

$Li_2MnSiO_4$ was synthesized using the solid-state method under an Ar atmosphere at three different calcination temperatures (900, 950, and $1000^{\circ}C$). The optimization of the carbon coating was also carried out using various molar concentrations of adipic acid as the carbon source. The XRD pattern confirmed that the resulting $Li_2MnSiO_4$ particles exhibited an orthorhombic structure with a $Pmn2_1$ space group. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to investigate the capacitive behavior of $Li_2MnSiO_4$ along with activated carbon (AC) in a hybrid supercapacitor with a two-electrode cell configuration. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC cell exhibited a high discharge capacitance and energy density of $43.2Fg^{-1}$ and $54Whkg^{-1}$, respectively, at $1.0mAcm^{-2}$. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC hybrid supercapacitor exhibited an excellent cycling stability over 1000 measured cycles with coulombic efficiency over > 99 %. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to corroborate the results that were obtained and described.

Pb(Zr,Ti)$O_3$ powders were synthesized by the partial oxalate method and the modified partial oxalate method, where the difference between the two is the use of pre-reacted (Zr,Ti)$O_2$ in the former method. When compared with conventional mixed oxide method, calcination temperature can be reduced to less than $700^{\circ}C$ by both partial oxalate methods, and the resulting particle size was finer and more uniform. Using partial oxalate-derived PZT powders, sintering temperatures can also be reduced as low as $950^{\circ}C$ without sacrificing desired dielectric and piezoelectric properties, such as relative permittivity, electromechanical coupling factor, and piezoelectric coefficient. Two partial oxalate methods yield ceramics with almost the same physical and electrical properties, so that the step of producing ZTO powder does not seem to be necessary.

Vanadium containing MFI type zeolites have been prepared hydrothermally or by the impregnation method with $NH_4VO_3$ solution after dealumination of HZSM-5. Incorporation of vanadium into the framework of zeolite has been demonstrated by XRD, DTA, FT-IR and ESR analyses. Upon $NH_4VO_3$ impregnation and calcination of dealuminated zeolite, vanadium substitution into the framework could be performed like a hydrothermally synthesized zeolite. Vanadium in zeolite is able to pass redox cycles at high temperatures, and it is shown that vanadium is probably fixed and atomically dispersed in the structure of zeolite. The catalytic benzene hydroxylation, hexanes and alcohols oxidation were used for evaluating the properties of vanadium incorporated MFI zeolite.

Vanadium oxides supported on zirconia and modified with MoO₃were prepared by adding Zr(OH)₄powder into a mixed aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate followed by drying and calcining at high temperatures. The characterization of prepared catalysts was performed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. In the case of a calcination temperature of 773 K, for samples containing low loading of $V_2O_5$, below 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was in a highly dispersed state, while for samples containing high loading of $V_2O_5$, equal to or above 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was well crystallized because the $V_2O_5$ loading exceeded the formation of a monolayer on the surface of $ZrO_2$. The $ZrV_2O_7$ compound was formed through the reaction of $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 873 K and the compound decomposed into $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 1073 K, which were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. IR spectroscopic studies of ammonia adsorbed on $V_2O_5-MoO_3/ZrO_2$ showed the presence of both Lewis and Bronsted acids.

Langasite ($La_{3}Ga_{5}SiO_{14}$) was found to have wide application as a promising piezoelectric material. It has high thermal stability of the frequency and large electromechanical coupling factor. For the further development of new compounds with langasite type structure, powders in the La-Al-Si-O system were synthesized by a modified Pechini process. The evolution of the crystalline phase during calcination was studied using TG-DTA, XRD and TEM for the precursor powders. Decomposition proceeded via dehydration and removal of excess solvents at low temperatures ($T<500^{\circ}C$), followed by the crystallization of lanthanum aluminum silicate ($T>800^{\circ}C$) and phase transformation to $LaAlO_{3}$ phase ($T>1200^{\circ}C$). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the calcined powders showed diffuse hollow rings corresponding to an amorphous phase at $800^{\circ}C$ and clear diffraction patterns corresponding to a crystalline phase from the P321 space group ($T<1200^{\circ}C$) and the R3m ($T<1200^{\circ}C$).

In this work, lithium ferrite ($Li_{0.5}Fe_{2.5}O_4$) nanoparticles were prepared via mechanochemical processing and subsequent heat treatment at a relatively low ($600^{\circ}C$) calcining temperature. The raw materials used were high purity $Fe_2O_3$ and $Li_2CO_3$ that were milled for between 2 and 20 h. The milled powders were then calcined at temperatures of 500 and $600^{\circ}C$ for 5 h in air. XRD results show that optimum conditions to obtain single phase lithium ferrite nanoparticles with a mean crystallite size of about 23 nm, using Scherrer's formula, are 10 h milling and calcination at $600^{\circ}C$. Saturation magnetization and coercivity of the single phase Li ferrite nanoparticles are 44.6 emu/g and 100 Oe respectively, which are both smaller than those of the bulk Li ferrite. The Curie temperature of the single sample was determined by a Faraday balance, which is $578^{\circ}C$ and smaller than that of bulk Li ferrite.
