금속산화물 반도체 중 하나인 산화아연은 인체에 무해하고 친환경적이며, 우수한 화학적, 열적 안정성의 특성을 지니며 3.37 eV의 넓은 밴드갭 에너지와 60 meV의 높은 엑시톤 바인딩 에너지로 인해 태양전지, 염료페기물의 분해, 가스센서 등 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능한 물질이다. 산화아연은 입자 형상 및 결정성의 변화에 따라 광촉매 활성이 변하게 된다. 따라서, 다양한 실험변수와 첨가제를 사용하여 입자를 합성하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로파 수열합성법을 사용하여 산화아연을 합성하였다. 전구체로는 질산아연을 사용하였고, 수산화나트륨을 사용하여 용액의 pH를 11로 조정하였다. 첨가제로는 계면활성제인 에탄올아민, 세틸트리메틸암모늄브로마이드, 소듐도데실설페이트, 솔비탄모노올레이트를 첨가하였다. 합성된 입자는 별모양, 원추형, 씨드형태, 박막형태의 구형의 형상을 보였다. 합성된 산화아연의 물리 화학적 특성은 XRD, SEM, TGA을 통하여 확인하였고, 광학적 특성은 UV-vis spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy으로 확인하였다.

Here we report improved photo-catalytic effect of $Ag_2S$ under visible light using carbon nano-tubes (CNT) modified with $Ag_2S$ nanoparticles. The optical properties, structural properties and compositional analysis, as well as the photo-electrochemical properties of the prepared composites were investigated. It was found that the photocurrent density, and the photo-catalytic effect, was increased by modification of CNT in this way. Compared with the separate effects of $Ag_2S$ and CNT nanoparticles, the photocatalytic effect of CNT-modified-with-$Ag_2S$ composites, increased significantly due to a synergistic effect between the CNT and the $Ag_2S$ nanoparticles.

$TiOSO_4$와 다층벽탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)를 사용하여 가수분해법으로 CNT-$TiO_{2}$ 나노복합체를 제조하였다. 제조된 $TiO_{2}$-CNT 복합체의 CNT는 아나타제 $TiO_{2}$에 균일하게 분산되어 있으며 MWCNT의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 결정성 탄소의 비율과 O/Ti 비율이 증가함을 확인할 수 있다. CNT-$TiO_{2}$복합체의 광활성 및 오염물 흡착능력을 UV 조사 시간에 따른 메틸렌블루의 분해정도로 확인하였다. MWCNT의 비율이 높아질수록 높은 흡착능과 광분해능을 나타내었다. 이는 MWCNT의 높은 비표면적, 산소포함 관능기, 낮은 밴드갭 에너지, 높은 전기전도성, 높은 부피 대 표면적 비율, 균일한 구조 및 특성으로 인하여 CNT-$TiO_{2}$ 복합체의 광활성에 도움을 주는 것으로 보인다.

Titanium dioxide films were prepared by RF sputtering method on glass for various oxygen partial pressures at power 270 W. The crystal structure, photocatalytic property and the hydrophilicity of $TiO_2$thin film the deposition conditions were investigated. Crystallized anatase phase was observed in $TiO_2$film deposited at the ratio of oxygen partial pressure 10% and 20% for 2 hrs. As the increase of deposition time, the grain size and void size of $TiO_2$film have increased and also $V_2$films have been good crystallinity. The ultraviolet-visible light absorption of $TiO_2$films was increased with increasing of deposition time and occured chiefly at the wavelength between 280 and 340 nm. The absorption band was shifted to a longer wave length as deposition time increased. Water contact angle on the X$TiO_2$film of anatase structure was decreased with increasing ultraviolet illumination time and became lower than $11^{\circ}$ from $83^{\circ}$. When hydrophilic $TiO_2$film changed by enough ultraviolet illumination was stored in the dark, the film surface gradually turned to hydrophobic state.

The Ti incorporation at Fe-site in the double perovskite lattice of $Sr_2FeNbO_6$ (SFNO) system is studied. The Ti concentration optimization yielded an efficient photocatalyst. At an optimum composition of Ti as x = 0.07 in $Sr_2Fe_{1-x}Ti_xNbO_6$, the photocatalyst exhibited 2 times the quantum yield for photolysis of $H_2O$ in presence of $CH_3OH$, than its undoped counterpart under visible light (${\lambda}{\geq}420nm$). Heavily Ti-doped $Sr_2Fe_{1-x}Ti_xNbO_6$ lattice exhibited poor photochemical properties due to the existence of constituent impurity phases as observed in the structural characterization, as well as deteriorated optical absorption. The higher electron-density acquired by n-type doping seem to be responsible for the more efficient charge separation in $Sr_2Fe_{1-x}Ti_xNbO_6$ (0.05 < x < 0.4) and thus consequently displays higher photocatalytic activity. The Ti incorporated structure also found to yield stable photocatalyst.

Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), in order to make $TiO_2$ effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced $TiO_2$ was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced $TiO_2$ was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified $TiO_2$, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L $min^{-1}$). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

Visible-light responsive $TiO_2$:Zr, N powders were prepared by polymer complex solution method and the particle properties were characterized by using transmission electron microscope, BET method, X-ray diffractometer and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic reactivity of the catalysts was also estimated by analyzing NO degradation. Polyhedral $TiO_2$ powder having about 20 um in the average particle diameter was successfully prepared, The XRD analysis revealed that the as-prepared powder consisted of anatase and rutile phases. The light absorption of the as-prepared $TiO_2$:Zr, N powder was shifted to the visible light. In addition, the as-prepared $TiO_2$:Zr, N nanoparticles showed the higher photocatalytic activity than the commercial $TiO_2$ under both UV and visible lights.

가시광 LED 빛에 반응하는 페로브스이트형 bismuth ferrite (BFO) 광촉매 제조방법과 가시광 광촉매 반응 특성을 조사하였다. BFO는 졸-겔법에 따라 제조하였다. 제조된 BFO는 주로 BiFeO₃ 구조로 이루어져 있으며 Bi₂₄Fe₂O₃₉ 구조도 포함한 나노 크기의 결정을 이루고 있었다. BFO 나노 결정은 약 600 nm까지 자외선과 가시광선을 흡수하는 것을 UV-visible 확산 반사 스펙트럼으로부터 확인하였다. 확산 반사 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 BFO의 밴드갭은 약 2.2 eV로 나타났다. 포름알데히드는 585 nm와 613 nm 파장의 가시광 LED 램프의 빛과 BFO 광촉매와의 광반응에 의하여 분해되어 제거되었다. BFO의 가시광 LED 빛에서 광촉매 활성은 BFO의 좁은 밴드갭에서 기인하는 것으로 보인다.

A new synthetic strategy based on the acid-base catalyzed sol-gel method was developed for the preparation of a series of mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles. A key feature of the method involves a gradual change in pH (0.8- 9) during the sol-gel transition, which guarantees easy introduction of mesoporosity without relying on the well-established sonochemical or template approach. In addition, this method leads to the exclusive formation of the anatase phase stable enough to the calcination temperature up to 600 oC. The physicochemical properties of the particles in the series were characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques such as wide-angle XRD, SAXRD, BET surface area, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR, TGA, and XPS. The photocatalytic efficiency of these materials was investigated for the oxidation of toluene under UV-irradiation. All but T-ad in the series exhibited high photocatalytic activity pushing the reaction into completion within 3 h. The reaction followed the first order kinetics, and the rate reaches as high as 3.9 × 10?2/min which exceeds the one with the commercially available Degussa P-25 by a factor of 3.2. When comparison is made among the catalysts, the reactivity increases with increase in the calcination temperature which in turn increases the crystallinity of the anatase phase, thus revealing the following rate orders: T-3 < T-4 < T-5 < T-6.
