This is an overview paper reporting our most recent work on processing and microstructure of nano-structured oxides and their photoluminescence and photo-catalysis properties. Zinc oxide and related transition metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide and titanium dioxide were produced by a combination of magnetron sputtering, hydrothermal growth and atmosphere controlled heat treatment. Special morphology and microstructure were created including nanorods arrays, core-brushes, nano-lollipops and multilayers with very large surface area. These structures showed special properties such as much enhanced photoluminescence and chemical reactivity. The photo-catalytic properties have also been promoted significantly. It is believed that two factors contributed to the high reactivity: the large surface area and the interaction between different oxides. The transition metal oxides with different band gaps have much enhanced photoluminescence under laser stimulation. Use of these complex oxide structures as electrodes can also improve the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells. The mixed oxide complex may provide a promising way to high-efficiency photo emitting materials and photo-catalysts.

For removing $NO_x$ and $SO_x$ from the flue gases emitted from stationary sources, $V_2O_5-MoO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts were prepared by the conventional impregnation method (aqueous solution) and a sort of surface fixation method(nonaqueous solution) as reported excellent reproducibility catalysts. And these catalysts observed their catalytic activities as well as their surface properties. V-Mo-O oxide, prepared from nonaqueous solution of $VOCl_3$ and $Mo(CO)_6$ and aqeous solution method, was supported as amorphous state by XRD and SEM measurements. The infrared spectra of fresh and used catalysts showed that in used catalysts, V=O bands decreased and new bands of vanadium oxysulfate bands were very sensitive. So the catalysts prepared from nonaqueous solution may bring about the high activity. Results from catalytic activity measurements at 350$^\circ$C, in the presence of $SO_2, NO$ conversion was more increased than in absence of $SO_2$. As the $MoO_3$ was added to $V_2O_5/TiO_2 system, SO_2$ conversion increased. It found that from the results, $V_2O-5-MoO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts prepared from an nonaqueous solution may bring about the high activity for both the reaction of NO and $SO_2$ removal.

We have developed an efficient method to generate highly active Pd and PdO nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on graphene and graphene oxide (GO) by an impregnation method combined with thermal treatments in $H_2$ and $O_2$ gas flows, respectively. The Pd NPs supported on graphene (Pd/G) and the PdO NPs supported on GO (PdO/GO) demonstrated excellent carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions under a solvent-free, environmentally-friendly condition. The morphological and chemical structures of PdO/GO and Pd/G were fully characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We found that the remarkable reactivity of the Pd/G and PdO/GO catalysts toward the cross-coupling reaction is attributed to the high degree of dispersion of the Pd and PdO NPs while the oxidative states of Pd and the oxygen functionalities of graphene oxide are not critical for their catalytic performance.

A kinetic study is reported on nucleophilic displacement reactions of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 6 with alkalimetal ethoxides, EtOM (M = Li, Na, and K), in anhydrous ethanol at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The plots of pseudo-firstorder rate constant $k_{obsd}$ vs. [EtOM] curve upward, a typical phenomenon reported previously for alkaline ethanolysis of esters in which alkali-metal ions behave as a Lewis-acid catalyst. The kobsd value for the reaction of 6 with a fixed EtOK concentration decreases rapidly upon addition of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6), a complexing agent for $K^+$ ion up to [18C6]/[EtOK] = 1.0 and then remains constant thereafter, indicating that the catalytic effect exerted by K+ ion disappears in the presence of excess 18C6. The reactivity of EtOM towards 6 increases in the order $EtO^-$ < EtOLi < EtONa < EtOK, which is contrasting to the reactivity order reported for the corresponding reactions of 2-pyridyl benzoate 4, i.e., $EtO^-$ < EtOK < EtONa < EtOLi. Besides, 6 is 1.7 and 3.5 times more reactive than 4 towards dissociated $EtO^-$ and ion-paired EtOK, respectively. The reactivity difference and the contrasting metal-ion selectivity are discussed in terms of electronic effects and transition-state structures.

여러 가지의 고체산 촉매에 의한 1-펜텐의 골격이성화 반응에서 반응활성, 선택도, 반응메카니즘 및 촉매의 산의 세기와 촉매활성과의 관계를 연구하였다. 여러 가지의 고체산 촉매중에서 천연제올라이트가 가장 높은 활성을 보여주었고, 불소나 황산으로 처리된 ${\eta}$-알루미나는 변형되지 않은 경우에 비해 활성이 크게 증가하였다. 한편 반응온도가 증가할수록 이소펜텐의 수율이 증가하였고, 접촉시간의 증가에 따라 이소펜텐의 수율이 증가하였다. 그러나 높은 반응온도와 아주 긴 접촉시간에서는 크래킹 반응의 생성물이 증가하였다. 금속이온으로 치환된 천연제올라이트에서의 활성은 감소하였고, 이것은 금속이온의 polarizing power와 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아 승온탈착실험 결과에 의하면 촉매의 활성은 촉매의 산의 세기와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

가솔린 자동차 배출가스에 장기간 노출되어 활성이 저하된 폐 삼원촉매를 대상으로 재제조를 수행하였다. 재제조된 삼원촉매, 자동차 배출가스에 노출되지 않은 신촉매와 폐 삼원촉매에 대해 촉매의 물성분석과 CO, THC 및 NOx에 대한 전환활성을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 폐 삼원촉매의 재제조는 증류수 및 산성용액을 이용하여 초음파 세정하는 것과 세정된 촉매에 촉매의 활성성분인 Pt, Pd 및 Rh를 재함침하는 방법으로 수행하였다. 폐 삼원촉매를 재제조하는 과정에서 촉매표면에 축적되었던 각종 불순성분들이 대부분 제거 되었으나 촉매활성 성분인 Pt나 Pd 또한 함께 제거되는 것으로 판단되었다. 촉매활성 성분을 함침하여 폐 삼원촉매를 재제조 할 경우 재제조된 촉매의 활성은 신촉매의 활성보다 같거나 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Activities of nanostructure HZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 catalysts (with different Co-loading) for catalytic conversion of ethyl acetate and toluene were studied. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and ICP-AES techniques. Catalytic studies were carried out inside a U-shaped fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. Toluene showed lower reactivity than ethyl acetate for conversion on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts. The effect of Co loading on conversion was prominent at temperatures below $400^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ for ethyl acetate and toluene respectively. In a binary mixture of organic compounds, toluene and ethyl acetate showed an inhibition and promotional behaviors respectively, in which the conversion of toluene was decreased at temperatures above $350^{\circ}C$. Inhibition effect of water vapor was negligible at temperatures above $400^{\circ}C$. An artificial neural networks model was developed to predict the conversion efficiency of ethyl acetate on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts based on experimental data. Predicted results showed a good agreement with experimental results. ANN modeling predicted the order of studied variable effects on ethyl acetate conversion, which was as follows: reaction temperature (50%) > ethyl acetate inlet concentration (25.085%) > content of Co loading (24.915%).

In order to investigate the effect of water treatment on activity of WGS catalyst, $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The prepared catalysts were water-treated at two different temperature (250, $350^{\circ}C$). Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, SEM, $N_2O$ chemisorption, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and XPS analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of $180-320^{\circ}C$. The reduction temperature decreased with water treatment and CZMA_250 catalyst showed the lowest reduction temperature and retained a large amount of $Cu^+$. Water-treated catalysts showed increased reactivity compared to untreated catalyst and the CZMA_250 catalyst showed higher catalytic activity on WGS reaction.

A new polymeric catalyst was prepared by supporting $GaCl_3$ on cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone ($GaCl_3$/PVP). This catalyst was employed for efficient and regioselective ring-opening reaction of epoxides by various alcohols under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. In our procedure, this heterogeneous catalyst was used at neutral and mild reaction conditions to afford high yields of ${\beta}$-alkoxy alcohols. Also, regioselective conversion of epoxides to ${\beta}$-azidohydrines was accomplished by sodium azide in MeOH in the presence of $GaCl_3$/PVP at room temperature. $GaCl_3$/PVP is a non-hygroscopic and recoverable catalyst and is easily separated from reaction mixture by a simple filtration and re-used repeatedly. Also, this catalyst has good handling and can be stored for long time without any reducing of its reactivity.
