Willemite powders which have been prepared by solid state reaction were easy to intermixed impurities, and particle surfaces were demaged in the progress of crushing. The above defacts were easy to accompany non-crystallization for mechanochemical effects and luminescence efficiency was deteriorated. The goal of this study improve each of defacts, and synthesize high purity and fine Mn doped willemite powders by wet and hydrothermal methods without crushing progress. It has been experimentally verified that the single phase Zn1.98Mn0.02SiO4 willemite powders which prepared by hydrothermal synthes is at 220$^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours in 2N KOH solution. The products are like needle and composition is the same with starting composition.

BaTiO$_3$ fine powders were synthesized by hydrothermal process from peroxo-coprecipitate precursors. The peroxo-coprecipitates were obtained by addition of the BaCl$_2$, TiCl$_4$, and $H_2O$$_2$ aqueous solution to an ammonium solution. Hydrothermal reaction was conducted at various reaction temperatures, times and pH ranges. Unlike the conventional hydrothermal synthesis which needs highly alkaline condition over pH 13 with KOH or NaOH, the present method offered well-developed crystalline (perovskite) BaTiO$_3$ powders synthesized below pH 12 with use of ammonium solution. It was found that the phase-pure fine powders were formed at temperatures as low as 11$0^{\circ}C$ and the properties of the powders synthesized over 13$0^{\circ}C$ were almost same regardless of the reaction time. BET surface area of the prepared powder was as high as 76 $m^2$/g and the calculated particle (particulate) size was below 20 nm. The ultrafine particulates formed weak agglomerates. The microstructure and dielectric properties of BaTiO$_3$ ceramics sintered at the temperature range of 1150~125$0^{\circ}C$ were evaluated.

The important factors in sensors are sensitivity, selectivity, and response time. Oxide semiconductors are high sensitivity, fast response and the advantage of miniaturization. Zn-doped $SnO_2$ materials have been synthesized in order to improve the selectivity of the sensor. ZnO/$SnO_2$ crystals were prepared by a simple hydrothermal process and ultrasound pretreated hydrothermal process. ZnO/$SnO_2$ urchins were fabricated in the precursor solution with [$Zn^{2+}$]:[$Sn^{4+}$] ratio of 1:5 and rod structures were fabricated ratio of 1:1 and 1:3. Surface area ratio was increased by increasing the ratio of [$Sn^{4+}$]. The sensitivity of sensors were highest at the [$Zn^{2+}$]:[$Sn^{4+}$] ratio of 1:5 in ethanol, acetaldehyde, toluene, and nitric oxide.

Conditions for formation of perovskite Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$Ti$_{0.48}$)O$_{3}$ phase by the hydrothermal synthesis are investigated. Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$ Ti$_{0.48}$)O$_{3}$ ceramics were synthesized by hydrothermal process above 180$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h reaction using 5$\~$30 M KOH solution as a mineralizer. Particle size increases in proportion to the mineralizer concentration. As a result of EOX analysis, PZT powders synthesized using 50 M of KOH as a mineralizer were considered as 2.42 mol$\%$ K doped-PZT powders. And 2.42 mol$\%$ K doped-PZT has much higher mechanical quality factor than undoped PZT ceramics. The sintering properties showed 7.987 g/cm$^{3}$ of sintered density and 3$\~$4 $\mu$m of grain size.

$BaCO_3$ crystals with various morphology were prepared using precipitation, hydrothermal and ligand-assisted methods. An irregular structure of $BaCO_3$ microparticle was obtained by simple precipitation method from $Ba(NO_3)_2$ and $Na_2CO_3$ in aqueous solution. Hexagonal pyramidals of $BaCO_3$ were synthesized using a hydrothermal method between $Ba(NO_3)_2$ and urea. Hexagonal rods of $BaCO_3$ were also synthesized using the ligand-assisted hydrothermal method. The aspect ratio of $BaCO_3$ hexagonal rods was increased with the concentration of ligand.

Magnesium hydroxide[$Mg(OH)_2$] was prepared by hydrothermal method using oleic acid as surface modifier. $Mg(OH)_2$ particles exhibit flake morphology with micrometer in size and the surface modification starts from the reaction of $C_{17}H_{33}COO^-$ group, derived from oleic acid molecule in alkaline environments. It is found that hydrothermal treatment conditions such as pH, temperature and reaction time are important for the control of the morphology and properties of surface modified magnesium hydroxide. The obtained magnesium hydroxide groups were characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA. The dispersion in organic solution was determined by sedimentation test and compared with the result of raw $Mg(OH)_2$.

Transition-metal oxide semiconductors have various band gaps. Therefore, many studies have been conducted in various application fields. Among these, methods for the adsorption of organic dyes and utilization of photocatalytic properties have been developed using various metal oxides. In this study, the adsorption and photocatalytic effects of $WO_3$ nanomaterials prepared by hydrothermal synthesis are investigated, with citric acid added in the hydrothermal process as a structure-directing agent. The nanostructures of $WO_3$ are studied using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. The crystal structure is investigated using X-ray diffraction patterns, and the changes in the dye concentrations adsorbed on $WO_3$ nanorods are measured with a UV-visible absorption spectrophotometer based on Beer-Lambert's law. The methylene blue (MB) dye solution is subjected to acid or base conditions to monitor the change in the maximum adsorption amount in relation to the pH. The maximum adsorption capacity is observed at pH 3. In addition to the dye adsorption, UV irradiation is carried out to investigate the decomposition of the MB dye as a result of photocatalytic effects. Significant photocatalytic properties are observed and compared with the adsorption effects for dye removal.

The purpose of this study was to examine the optimum condition of impulse during the anodic spark oxidation applying pulse current as well as to find the excellent condition for HA precipitation the after electrochemical hydrothermal treatment by cathode reduction method. After anodic spark oxidation, the anodized specimen and the Pt plate connected cathode and anode, respectively. Hydrothermal treatment performed at 90, 120, $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in the electrolyte containing $K_2HPO_4$, $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$, Tris(Hydroxymethyl)-$(CH_2OH)_3\;CNH_2$(Aminomethane), and NaCl. The optimum impulse voltage for anodic spark oxidation was 350V. The optimum pulse cycle measured at 10 mS. The HA crystals precipitated excellently by cathode reduction at $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The phases of anatase, rutile, and HA coating on the surface of modified titanium surface immersed in Hanks' solution for 3weeks were detected by XRD measurement and the intensity of HA crystal phase has increased by temperature and time of hydrothermal treatment. According to the our experiments, we found that Pure Ti will be good materials of bioactivity and biocompatibility.

In the present work, we synthesize nano-sized ZnO, $SnO_2$, and $TiO_2$ powders by hydrothermal reaction using metal chlorides. We also examine the energy-storage characteristics of the resulting materials to evaluate the potential application of these powders to dye-sensitized solar cells. The control of processing parameters such as pressure, temperature, and the concentration of aqueous solution results in the formation of a variety of powder morphologies with different sizes. Nano-rod, nano-flower, and spherical powders are easily formed with the present method. Heat treatment after the hydrothermal reaction usually increases the size of the powder. At temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$, a complete collapse of the shape occurs. With regard to the capacity of DSSC materials, the hydrothermally synthesized $TiO_2$ results in the highest current density of $9.1mA/cm^2$ among the examined oxides. This is attributed to the fine particle size and morphology with large specific surface area.
