Solid-state dewetting of thin films is a process through which continuous solid films decay to form islands. Dewetting of thin films has long been a critical issue in microelectronics and much effort has been made to prevent the process and enhance the stability of films. On the other hand, dewetting has also been purposely induced to create arrays of particles and other structures for applications, including plasmonic structures and catalysts for growing nanotube and nanowire. We have investigated ways of producing regular structures via templated dewetting of thin films. Mainly, two different approaches have been used in our works to template dewetting of thin films: periodic topographical templating and planar patterning of epitaxially-grown films. Dewetting of topographically-patterned thin films results in the formation of nanoparticle arrays with spatial and crystallographic orders. Morphological evolution during templated-dewetting of single crystal films occurs in deterministic ways because of geometric and crystallographic constraints, and leads to the formation of regular structures with smaller sizes and more complex shapes than the initial patches. These results will be reviewed in this presentation.

Porous ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ was synthesized by modified sol-gel method using ionic liquid as a templating material. The addition of ionic liquid assisted to increase the surface area of alumina. However, the acidity of aluminas prepared with ionic liquids was hardly affected regardless the change of its structural properties. Among the ionic liquids used in this study, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][$PF_6$]) was the most effective ionic liquid to produce porous ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ particles. The catalytic performance of these aluminas has been investigated in dehydration of methanol to produce dimethyl ether. The alumina prepared with [Bmim][$PF_6$] outperformed the other aluminas except ${\eta}-Al_2O_3$ without modification in this reaction.

Monolithic carbon foams with hierarchical porosity were prepared from polyurethane templates and resol precursors. Mesoporosity was achieved through the use of soft templating with surfactant Pluronic F127, and macroporosity from the polyurethane foams was retained. Conditions to obtain high porosity materials were optimized. The best materials have high specific surface areas (380 and 582 m² g^-1, respectively) and high electrical conductivity, which make them good candidates for supports in sensors. These materials showed an almost linear dependence between the potential and the pH of aqueous solutions.

A cost-effective preparation method is proposed to prepare nanoporous alumina (NA) using aluminum chloride as a precursor with a lower cost than aluminum butoxide. In addition, the surfactant template was replaced with magnesium stearate, which has a lower unit cost in stearate acid. The adsorption isotherm test for the CO gas was carried out to compare the adsorption performance of the NA adsorbents prepared using post-hydrolysis (NA) and cost-effective precipitation (C-NA). In addition, C-NA exhibited a similar uptake capacity as NA, and the maximum uptake capacity of Pd/C-NA increased 1.3 times via Pd nanodots loading.

황이 포함된 중형기공성 탄소 담체(S-MC)에 화학적으로 고정화된 $H_5PMo_{10}V_2O_{40}$ ($PMo_{10}V_2$) 촉매를 제조하고, 이를 Benzyl alcohol 산화반응에 적용해보았다. 먼저 주형물질로 SBA-15, 탄소 전구체로 p-Toluenesulfonic acid를 이용하여 S-MC 지지체를 제조하였다. 이후, $PMo_{10}V_2$ 촉매가 화학적으로 고정화될 수 있는 위치를 제공하기 위해 S-MC 지지체의 표면이 양전하를 띠도록 개질시켰다. 전체적으로 음전하를 띠는 $[PMo_{10}V_2O4_{40}]^{5-}$를 이용함으로써 $PMo_{10}V_2$를 양이온을 띠는 S-MC 표면에 화학적으로 고정화하였다. 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$가 분자수준으로 균일하게 분산되었음을 확인하였다. Benzyl alcohol의 기상 산화반응에서 $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매는 무담지 상태의 $PMo_{10}V_2$보다 높은 전화율 및 수율을 나타냈다. $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매의 반응 활성이 향상된 이유는 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$이 S-MC 지지체에 고르게 분산되었기 때문이다.

Mesoporous titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) thin films were prepared using poly(vinyl chloride)-graft-poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVC-g-PVP) as a templating agent via sol-gel process. Grafting of PVC chains from PVC backbone was done by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. The successful grafting of PVP to synthesize PVC-g-PVP was checked by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The carbonyl group interaction of PVC-g-PVP graft copolymer with $TiO_2$ was confirmed by FT-IR. The porous morphologies of the $TiO_2$ films genereated after calcination at $450^{\circ}C$ was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mesoporous $TiO_2$ films with 580 nm in thickness were used as a photoelectrode for solid state dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and showed an energy conversion efficiency of 1.05% at 100 $mW/cm^2$.

Highly ordered porous materials having mesopores in the walls of macropores showed improved adsorption dynamics results for VOC molecules, especially bulky molecules. These meso/macroporous mataerials were synthesized by the dual templating method, and mesopore and macropore size were controlled by adjusting the templates for each pore size regime. In the case of adsorption and desorption of small VOC molecules (toluene), although meso/macroporous MCM-41 with smaller mesopore size showed improved results, meso/macroporous SBA-15 with larger mesopore size was not improved regardless of the existence of macropores, since there was no limitation of movement through the larger mesopore. However, the adsorption dynamics of bulky VOC molecules (p-xylene) over meso/macroporous SBA-15 were drastically improved by increasing the macropore size.

Various reaction conditions uding temperature, time and type and concentration of templates have been changed in order to facilely synthesize, especially with microwave (MW) heating, SAPO-34 molecular sieves. SAPO-34 molecular sieve can be synthesized rapidly with microwave irradiation from a gel containing tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) as a template. However, other several templating molecules lead to SAPO-5 molecular sieve under microwave irradiation even though SAPO-34 is obtained by conventional electric synthesis from the same reactant gels. Moreover, SAPO-34 can be obtained more easily by increasing the TEAOH or silica concentration or by increasing the reaction temperature. SAPO-34 can be obtained within 5 min in a selected condition (high temperature of 210 $^{\circ}C$) with microwave heating, which may lead to a continuous production of the important material. SAPO-34 synthesized by microwave irradiation is homogeneous and small in size and shows acidity and a stable performance in the dehydration of methanol and 2-butanol to olefins, suggesting potential applications in acid catalysis.

본 논문에서는 Porous Au-Pt 전극을 기반으로 연료전극과 공기전극으로 구성된 초소형 메탄올 센서를 설계 및 제작하고 그 특성을 분석해 보았다. 제안된 Porous Au-Pt 전극은 Porous 구조의 금속을 만드는 방법 중 하나인 Templating기법을 적용하여 수백나노 크기의 Pore들을 가진 Porous Au 전극을 제작하였고 그 위에 수 나노 크기의 Pt particles을 전해 도금하여 제작되었다. 고분자 전해질막 층으로서 Nafion film은 전해 도금한 Porous Au-Pt 전극 사이에 삽입하고 hot Pressing 통하여 센서를 구성하였다. Porous Au-Pt 전극을 기반으로한 전기화학 메탄올 센서는 $0.25\;cm^2$ 의 작은 전극 면적에도 불구하고 넓은 온도 범위 ($20^{\circ}C-100^{\circ}C$) 에서 온도에 따른 뛰어난 선형성(Correlation coefficient = 0.986)을 보였으며, 특히, 일정온도 ($60^{\circ}C$)에서 메탄올 농도 0 M에서 2 M 까지의 전류응답 특성을 측정, 분석 결과 메탄올 농도에 따른 9.6 mA/$mM{\cdot}cm^2$ 의 민감도 및 10 초 이내의 응답시간 특성을 보였다.

Ammonia, $NH_3$, is a key chemical widely used in chemical industries and a toxic pollutant that impacts human health. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective adsorbents with high uptake capacities to adsorb $NH_3$. An adsorbent with a high surface area and a small pore size is generally preferred in order to have a high capacity for the removal of $NH_3$. The use inorganic nanoporous materials as gas adsorbents has increased substantially and emerged as an alternative to zeolite and activated carbon. Herein, mesoporous alumina (MA) was prepared and used as an $NH_3$ adsorbent. MA showed good pore properties such as a uniform pore size and interlinked pore system, when compared to commercial adsorbents (activated carbon, zeolite, and silica powder). MA has free hydroxyl groups, serving as useful adsorption sites for $NH_3$. In an adsorption isotherm test, MA exhibited 4.7-6.5 times higher uptake capacities for $NH_3$ than commercial adsorbents. Although the larger surface areas of adsorbents are important features of ideal adsorbents, a regular and interlinked adsorbent pore system was found to be a more crucial factor to adsorb $NH_3$.
