$TiO_2$ possesses great photocatalytic properties but absorbs only UV light owing to high band gap energy (Eg = 3.2 eV). By narrowing the band gap through doping a metal ion, the photocatalytic activity can be enhanced in condition of the light of a higher than 365 nm wavelength. Main purpose for this study is to evaluate the activities of metal doped $TiO_2$ for degrading the volatile organic compounds (VOCs); p-xylene is chosen in the VOC removal test. Vanadium is selected in this study because an ionic radius of vanadium is almost the same as titanium ion and vanadium can be easily doped into $TiO_2$. V-doped $TiO_2$ was synthesized by sol-gel methods and compared with pure $TiO_2$. Pure TiO2 powder and V-doped $TiO_2$ powder were coated on glasses by spray coating method. UV-Visible spectrophotometer was used for the measurement of the band gap changes. VOC concentration degradation level was tested with using various UV light sources in an enclosed chamber. Catalytic activities of prepared samples were evaluated based on the experimental results and compared with coated pure $TiO_2$ sample.

In this investigation, Bi₂MoO₆ deposited graphene nanocomposite (BMG) was synthesized using a simple microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis method. The synthesized BMG nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and photocurrent analysis. The study revealed that the catalysts prepared have high crystalline nature, enhanced light responsive property, high catalytic activity, and good stability. XRD results of BMG composite exhibit a koechlinite phase of Bi₂MoO₆. The surface property is shown by SEM and TEM, which confirmed a homogenous composition in the bulk particles of Bi₂MoO₆ and nanosheets of graphene. The catalytic behavior was investigated by the decomposition of Rhodamine B as a standard dye. The results exhibit excellent yields of product derivatives at mild conditions under ultrasonic/visible light-medium. Approximately 1.6-times-enhanced sono-photocatalytic activity was observed by introduction of Bi₂MoO₆ on graphene nanosheet compared with control sample P25 during 50 min test.

The degradation of methyl blue (MB) catalyzed by platinum (Pt)-graphene/$TiO_2$ in dark ambiance was studied. Pt-graphene/$TiO_2$ composites were prepared by simple hydrothermal method. Characterizations of composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area (BET) analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. UV-spectroscopic analysis of the dyes was performed by measuring the change in absorbance. The degradation of the organic dyes was calculated based on the decrease in concentration of the dyes with respect to regular time intervals. Rate coefficients for the catalytic process were successfully established and reusability tests were performed to test the stability of the used catalysts.

Titania gel formations were prepared by sol-gel method using titanium(IV) chloride $(TiCl_4)$, and its characteristics were analyzed by varying the $epoxide/TiCl_4$ ratio and the amount of water In the end, titania $(TiO_2)$ aerogel were prepared using supercritical drying process. VOCs such as benzene, toluene, and m-xylene (BTX) were oxidized using prepared titania aerogel and commercially available $TiO_2$, and its performance was compared. The surface area, pore volume, and average pore diameter of 1,2-epoxybutane are significantly smaller than the propylene oxide. And the titania aerogels with 6 moi of epoxides have high surface areas, pore volumes, and average pore diameters. As a result of photo-oxidation, conversion of benzene was reached about $70\%$, and other reactants were reached about $60\%$ similarly. The conversion of BTX was increased as inlet concentration decreased. The reactivity of titania calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ was greater than $400^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. Water is required as a reactants for the oxidation of VOCs, and the continuous consumption of hydroxyl radicals required replenishments to maintain catalyst activity. The activity ratio increased with increasing reaction time when enough amount of water was present in the reactor.

졸-겔 방법에 의하여 제조된 $TiO_2$와 $TiO_2-SiO_2$ 광촉매를 이용한 음용수 중의 대장균 살균과 엔도톡신 제거에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 대장균 살균실험은 대장균이 포함된 물이 순환되는 annular-흐름식 광촉매 코팅 반응기에서 수행되었다. 대장균의 살균능은 $TiO_2$와 $TiO_2-SiO_2$ 광촉매의 아나타제 결정성피크의 세기와 비례하였다. UV-A 조사하에 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 반응기에서 2시간 내에 대장균을 100% 살균시킬 수 있었으며, 대장균 사멸시 생성되는 독성물질인 엔도톡신이 존재하지 않았다. 그러나 UV-C 조사하에서는 30분 이내에 대장균을 100% 살균할 수 있었으나 엔도톡신이 완전히 제게되지 않았다. 따라서 광촉매와 UV-A 조사가 음용수 살균에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

The hydrogen($H_2$) is promising energy carrier of renewable energy in the microgrid system such as small village and military base due to its high energy density, pure emission and convenient transportation. $H_2$ can be generated by photocatalytic water splitting, gasification of biomass and water electrolysis driven by solar cell or wind turbine. Solid oxide electrolysis cells(SOECs) are the most efficient way to mass production due to high operating temperature improving the electrode kinetics and reducing the electrolyte resistance. The SOECs are consist of nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia(NiO-YSZ) fuel electrode / YSZ electrolyte / lanthanum strontium manganite-YSZ(LSM-YSZ) air electrode due to similarity to Solid Oxide Fuel Cells(SOFCs). The Ni-YSZ most widely used fuel electrode shows several problems at SOEC mode such as degradation of the fuel electrode because of Ni particle's redox reaction and agglomeration. Therefore Ni-YSZ need to be replaced to an alternative fuel electrode material. In this study, We studied on the Double perovskite $PrBrMnO_{5+{\delta}}$(PBMO) due to its high electric conductivity, catalytic activity and electrochemical stability. PBMO was impregnated into the scaffold electrolyte $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.85}Mg_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSGM) to be synthesized at low temperature for avoiding secondary phase generated when it exposed to high temperature. The Half cell test was conducted at SOECs and SOFCs modes.

Background: Indoor air pollutants are caused by a number of factors, such as coming in from the outside or being generated by internal activities. Typical indoor air pollutants include nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide from household items such as heating appliances and volatile organic compounds from building materials. In addition there is carbon dioxide from human breathing and bacteria from speaking, coughing, and sneezing. Objectives: According to recent research results, most indoor air pollution is known to be greatly affected by internal factors such as burning (biomass for cooking) and various pollutants. These pollutants can have a fatal effect on the human body due to a lack of ventilation facilities. Methods: We fabricated a polydopamine (PDA) layer with Ti substrates as a coating on supported glass fiber fabric to enhance its photo-activity. The PDA layer with TiO₂ was covalently attached to glass fiber fabric using the drop-casting method. The roughness and functional groups of the surface of the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric were verified through infrared imaging microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The obtained hybrid Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric was investigated for photocatalytic activity by the removal of ammonia and an epidermal Staphylococcus aureus reduction test with lamp (250 nm, 405 nm wavelength) at 24℃. Results: Antibacterial properties were found to reduce epidermal staphylococcus aureus in the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric under 405 nm after three hours. In addition, the Ti substrate/PDA coated glass fiber fabric of VOC reduction rate for ammonia was 50% under 405 nm after 30 min. Conclusions: An electron-hole pair due to photoexcitation is generated in the PDA layer and transferred to the conduction band of TiO₂. This generates a superoxide radical that degrades ammonia and removes epidermal Staphylococcus aureus.

생활환경 수준의 이황화 메틸과 같은 황화 유기화합물의 제어를 위하여 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화 티타늄 복합재를 이용한 연구는 아직까지 보고되지 않고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화 티타늄 복합재를 제조하여 엑스선 회절법, 입자 비표면 측정법 및 적외선 분광법을 이용하여 광학적/표면 특성을 조사하고 활성을 평가하기 위하여 황화 이메틸의 제거 효율을 결정하였다. 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화티타늄 복합재의 물리적/표면 특성 조사에서 이 복합재가 광촉매적 활성도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 비표면적, 총 기공크기, 마이크로 기공크기 및 메조 기공크기의 경우에 이산화티타늄 코팅량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 평균 기공크기는 이산화티타늄 코팅량이 증가함에 따라 오히려 증가하였다. 또한, 코팅된 이산화티타늄이 섬유형 활성탄소 자체의 황화 이메틸에 대한 흡착능에 영향을 거의 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화티타늄 복합재의 활성도 조사시험에서, 황화 이메틸의 초기 제거효율은 4가지 유량 조건(0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 L/min)에서 각각 93, 78, 71 및 57%로 나타났고, 4가지 유량 조건 모두에서 2시간째에는 제거효율이 다소 감소하였다가 그 이후에는 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 유사 평형상태에서, 황화 이메틸 평균 제거효율은 4가지 유량조건에서 각각 75, 58, 53 및 36%로 나타났다. 한편, 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화티타늄 복합재의 표면상에서 부산물들은 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 이용한 실험 조건에서, 섬유형 활성탄소-이산화티타늄 복합재가 부산물에 의한 큰 영향 없이 생활환경 수준의 황화 이메틸을 제어하는데 활용될 수 있는 것으로 제안된다.
