Magnesium hydroxide sulfate hydrate ($5Mg(OH)_2.MgSO_4{\cdot}3H_2O$, abbreviated 513 MHSH) whiskers were synthesized using MgO and $MgSO_4.7H_2O$ as reactants without addition of basic solution. Previously, MHSH whiskers were prepared by hydrothermal method using $MgSO_4$ in aqueous ammonia. In this work, for the first time, we synthesized a high purity MHSH via ambient pressure. In addition, a high molar ratio of $MgSO_4$ : MgO is an important key to the formation of high purity MHSH. Also, it was possible to prepare whiskers with high aspect ratio using an increasing reaction time in the reaction between the remaining $SO_4^{2-}$ ions and the ${Mg(OH)_6}^{4-}$ fragment, finally producing one-dimensional whiskers.

Phospho-olivine $LiFePO_4$ cathode materials were prepared by hydrothermal reaction. Carbon black was added to enhance the electrical conductivity of $LiFePO_4$. The structural and morphological performance of $LiFePO_4$ and $LiFePO_4$-C powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). $LiFePO_4$/Li and $LiFePO_4$-C/Li cells were characterized electrochemically by cyclic voltammogram (CV), charge/discharge experiments and ac impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the discharge capacity of $LiFePO_4$/Li cell was 147 mAh/g at the first cycle and 118 mAh/g after 30 cycles, respectively. The discharge capacity of $LiFePO_4$-C/Li cell with 5 wt% carbon black was the largest among $LiFePO_4$-C/Li cells, 133 mAh/g at the first cycle and 128 mAh/g after 30 cycles, respectively. It was demonstrated that cycling performance of $LiFePO_4$-C/Li cell with 5 wt% carbon black was better than that of $LiFePO_4$/Li cell.

Nanostructured thermoelectric bismuth telluride ($Bi_2Te_3$) powders with various morphologies, such as nanoplates, nanorods, and nanotubes, were prepared by a hydrothermal method based on the reaction between $BiCl_3$, Te, and sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate ($Na_2$-EDTA) at 150, 180, and $210^{\circ}C$. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The effect of reaction temperature on the morphology of the $Bi_2Te_3$ particles was investigated, and the possible mechanism of morphology control was proposed.

물에 대한 용해도가 우수한 비정질 탄산칼슘을 이용하여 저온 영역에서 Calcite 단결정을 수열육성 하였다. 비정질 탄산칼슘 제조의 출발원료로는 $CaCl_2$, 및 $Na_2CO_3$를 이용하였으며, 반응온도와 반응시간이 중요한 인자로 작용하였다. 한편, 중량손실법에 의한 비정질 탄산칼슘의 용해도 측정결과 $NH_4NO_3$, 수용액이 Calcite 결정성장에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. Calcite 결정의 육성에 있어 큰 성장속도를 나타내는 수열조건은 다음과 같다. 즉, 출발원료: 비정질 탄산칼슘, 수열용매: 0.01m $NH_4NO_3$, 반응온도: $180^{\circ}C$, 반응시간: 30일 이었다. 이와 같은 조건하에서 얻어진 Calcite 단결정은 전위밀도: $10^6{\sim}10^7cm^{-2}$, 투과율: $190{\sim}400nm$ 범위에서 약 80%, 복굴절율: $0.17{\sim}0.18$ 이었으며, HCOT 및 $OH^-$ 이온의 혼입에 의한 광학적 흡수가 발생하지 않음을 FT-IR분석 결과로부터 알 수 있었다.

Brilliant blue FCF에 대한 분해 특성이 우수한 광촉매를 제조하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 전구체인 titanium (IV) sulfate와 zinc acetate에 침전제로 각각 NaOH, $NH_4OH$를 첨가하여 비교적 낮은 온도와 상압에서 중간상 형성 없이 1단계의 수열합성법으로 $TiO_2$와 ZnO를 제조하였다. $TiO_2$의 경우 제조과정에 양이온성 계면활성제인 CTAB을 첨가하여 제조하기도 하였다. 제조된 $TiO_2$와 ZnO의 결정성, 입자크기, 흡광도 등과 같은 물리적 특성을 확인하기 위해 XRD, Zeta-potential meter, DRS 등을 사용하여 분석하였다. 광촉매적 특성을 확인하기 위해 회분식 반응장치를 이용하여 UV 조사 하에서 brilliant blue FCF의 광분해 특성을 조사하였다. CTAB을 첨가하지 않은 경우, $TiO_2$가 ZnO보다 입자가 작고 흡광도와 광촉매 반응의 초기속도가 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 동일한 제조조건에서 CTAB을 전구체인 $Ti(SO_4)_2$ 농도의 1/10 첨가하여 제조한 $TiO_2$는 CTAB을 첨가하지 않은 것보다 brilliant blue FCF의 최종 제거율이 약 15% 정도 우수하였다.

This study reports the hydrogen sulfide gas sensing properties of ZnO nanorods bundle and the investigation of gas sensing mechanism. Also the improvement of sensing properties was also studied through the application of ZnO heterstructured nanorods. The 1-Dimensional ZnO nano-structure was synthesized by hydrothermal method and ZnO nano-heterostructures were prepared by sonochemical reaction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra confirmed a well-crystalline ZnO of hexagonal structure. The gas response of ZnO nanorods bundle sensor increased with increasing temperature, which is thought to be due to chemical reaction of nanorods with gas molecules. Through analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the sensing mechanism of ZnO nanorods bundle sensor was explained by well-known surface reaction between ZnO surface atoms and hydrogen sulfide. However at high sensing temperature, chemical conversion of ZnO nanorods becomes a dominant sensing mechanism in current system. In order to improve the gas sensing properties, simple type of gas sensor was fabricated with ZnO nano-heterostructures, which were prepared by deposition of CuO, Au on the ZnO nanorods bundle. These heteronanostructures show higher gas response and higher current level than ZnO nanorods bundle. The gas sensing mechanism of the heteronanostructure can be explained by the chemical conversion of sensing material through the reaction with target gas.

Up to now, microstructure changes of photocatalysts have been studied to improve photocatalytic activity. Especially, to improve the adsorption of reactants and reactive sites, porous and fine crystal structures have received much attention because of their large specific surface area. In this study, $TiO_2$ nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal method using $TiO_2$ nanoparticles; nanotubes were evaluated by oxidized methylene blue reduction test. Using synthesized $TiO_2$ nanotubes, results of TEM showed that the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were changed into folding sheets and nanotubes. XRD results showed that the peaks of the nanoparticles almost disappeared and only the rutile (110) and anatase (200) peaks were observed. Comparison of photocatalytic properties of nanoparticles and nanotube structures was performed by measuring the UV-vis absorbance with reducing oxidized methylene blue. As a result, the reduction rate of nanotubes was found to be $0.24{\mu}mol/s$, which was 2.6 times higher than the rate of reduction of nanoparticles.

ZnO nanorods were grown on $SiO_2$ coated Si wafers and glass by the hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties variation of ZnO nanorods as a function of growing time was studied. ~10 nm-thick ZnO thin films deposited on substrates by rf magnetron sputtering were employed as seed layers. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (0.05 M) and hexamethylenetetramine (0.05 M) mixed in DI water were used as a reaction solution. ZnO nanorods were respectively grown for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h by maintaining the reactor at $90^{\circ}C$. Crystallinity of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of nanorods was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Transmittance and absorbance were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and energy band gap and urbach energy were obtained from the data. Photoluminescence measurements were carried out using Nd-Yag laser (266 nm).

Cubic mesocrystal $CeO_2$ was synthesized via a hydrothermal method with glutamic acid ($C_5H_9NO_4$) as a template. The XRD pattern of a calcined sample shows the face-centered cubic fluorite structure of ceria. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern revealed that the submicron cubic mesocrystals were composed of many small crystals attached to each other with the same orientation. The UV-visible adsorption spectrum exhibited the red-shift phenomenon of mesocrystal $CeO_2$ compared to commercial $CeO_2$ particles; thus, the prepared materials show tremendous potential to degrade organic dyes under visible light illumination. With a concentration of a rhodamine B solution of 20 mg/L and a catalyst amount of 0.1 g/L, the reaction showed higher photocatalytic performance following irradiation with a xenon lamp (${\geq}380nm$). The decoloring rate can exceed 100% after 300 min.
