In this study, the application of recovered metals from spent batteries by extraction was investigated for ozone decomposition as a catalyst. Among the recovered metals, Mn contents was the most important factor for ozone decomposition. It was also found that the deactivation rate of the catalyst was dependent on the Zn contents, while K contents and activities were not perfectly correlated for ozone decomposition. In addition, the catalytic activity the $TiO_2$ added catalyst was decreased, due to the reduction of Mn contents. The structural characteristics of maganase oxide was not associated with the catalytic activity for ozone decomposition.

ZnO varistors are characterized by the features of excellent nonlinearity and surge withstand capability. In this paper, in order to investigate the use of ZnO varistor as surge absorption device in low voltage, metal oxide material($TiO_2$) was selected as control material of grain growth. Samples of ZnO varistors were fabricated with varying the contents, and then the microstructures and V-I characteristics were measured. It was observed by SEM that the mean grain size increased with the increase of the additive. From the measurement of V-I characteristics, it was observed that according to the increase of the quantity of $TiO_2$ as additive, the operating voltage was lowered.

Influence of $TiO_2$ on the dielectric properties of the $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic with 7 wt% zinc borosilicate(ZBS) glass was investigated as a function of the $TiO_2$ contents with a view to applying this system to LTCC technology. The $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic addition of 7 wt% ZBS glass ensured successful sintering below $900^{\circ}C$. But, TCF of $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic is large negative values, respectively, it is necessary to adjust to zero TCF for practical applications Therefore, the addition of materials having positive TCF, such as $TiO_2$, might be an effective method for the improvement. In general, increasing addition of $TiO_2$ increased dielectric constant and TCF but it decreased the sinterability and $Q{\tiems}f$ value significantly due to the dielectric property and high sintering temperature of $TiO_2$. $Bi(Nb_{0.7}Ta_{0.3})O_4$ ceramic with 7 wt% ZBS glass and then addition 0.5 wt% $TiO_2$ sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ demonstrated 42 in the dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$), 1,000 GHz in the $Q{\times}f$ value, and $10{\pm}5\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$).

Nanofibers have a large potential in air filtration applications. In this work, we have developed a photocatalytic polyvinyl alcohol PVA/$TiO_2$ nanofibers membrane for the treatment of air filtration by using electrospinning method. PVA were electrospun into nanofibrous membranes and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were loaded in PVA nanofibers in various contents from 10% (w/w) to 50% (w/w). The UV-Vis spectra were conducted for testing the existence of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in PVA fibers. SEM analysis indicated that $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were loaded on the surface of PVA fibers and dispersed linearly along the fiber direction, which originated from the effect of polarization and orientation caused by high electric field. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the crystalline of the membrane. Tensile strength was measured to evaluate the physical properties of the membrane. Therefore, our work suggested that PVA/$TiO_2$ nanofiber membrane has a potential application in air filtration area.

In this paper, we examined an effect by the binder in titanium dioxide film for dye sensitized solar cell. Binder(PEG and PEO) was added the quantity of 10- 40wt% to commercial $TiO_2$ (P25), Respectively. All of $TiO_2$ film was showed porous structure. but difference of film's porosity could not be confirm. Transmittances of $TiO_2$ film was decreased with the increase of binder's quantity, generally. In case of 20wt%, however, Transmittances of $TiO_2$ film was recoded the highest value. and it measured 1.77 of energy-conversion efficiency.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/pullulan/titanium dioxide($TiO_2$) composite nanofibers were produced at different $TiO_2$ concentrations(1 and 3 wt.%) using the electrospinning method. The parameters of electrospinning including polymer contents, voltage and tip-to-collector distance(TCD) were optimized for fabrication process. The study showed that the best condition to make PVA/pullulan nanofiber and effect of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. The PVA/pullulan/$TiO_2$ nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).

The effect of MgO diluents in combustion synthesis of $TiB_2$ nano particles was investigated. The reaction $TiO_2\;+\;B_2O_3\;+\;xMg\;{\rightarrow}\;TiB_2\;+\;5MgO$ was used to synthesize $TiB_2$ nano particles. The combustion velocity was measured to examine the relation between the reaction temperature and the morphologies of particles. The diluent MgO did not react with the reactants and played a role to decrease combustion temperature. As the MgO diluents contents increased, the particles with the smaller size and the narrower size distribution were synthesized. At the condition of 6 mole of MgO, the combustion wave velocity was about 5 cm/see and the synthesized particles showed the size of 60 nm with narrow size distribution.

$xTiO_2$-$ySiO_2$ 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 were measured. Considering the efficiency of the ethanol and phenol degradation using the catalyst, the conclusions were obtained as follows: By means of X-ray analysis of $xTiO_2$-$ySiO_2$ powder that is obtained from Titanium and Silicon alkoxide by sol-gel process, it is shown that crystal structure of anatase type is a dominating structure and, on the other hand, the structure of rutile also partly exists. The increase of $SiO_2$ contents causes the decrease of the degree of crystallization of the gel, whereas the specific surface area preferentially increases. It is shown that more than 90% of ethanol and phenol are degraded when reaction time is about three and an hours, and the maximum degradation rate of ethanol and phenol is shown in $60TiO_2$-$40SiO_2$ catalyst.

$TiO_2$ 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.

The effect of Eu contents on the ferroelectric properties of $Bi_{4-x}Eu_xTi_3 O_{12}$ (BET) thin films has been investigated. Bismuth Europium titanate thin films with a Eu contents were prepared on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by metal-organic decomposition technique. The structure and the morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, it was found that BET thin films have polycrystalline structure, and the layered-perovskite phase is obtained when the Eu contents exceeds 0.2 (x > 0.2). Also, the ferroelectric characteristics of the BET thin films were found to be dependent on the Eu content. Particularly, the BET films doped with x = 0.75 show better ferroelectric properties (remanent polarization 2Pr = 60.99 C/$cm^2$ and only a little polarization fatigue up to $3.5{\times}10^9$ bipolar switching cycling) than those doped with other Eu contents.
