Zirconium-doped $Li_{1.1}Co_{1-x}Zr_xO_2(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.05)$ powders as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries were synthesized using an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. Cyclic voltammetry and cyclic stability tests were performed, and the changes of microstructure were observed. The solubility limit of zirconium into $Li_{1.1}CoO_2$ was less than 5 mol%, and monoclinic $Li_2ZrO_3$ phase was formed above the limit. The Zr-doping suppressed the grain growth and increased the lattice parameters of the hexagonal $LiCoO_2$ phase. The Zr-dopiong of 1mol% resulted in the best cyclic performance in the range of $3.0{\sim}4.3V$ at 1C rate (140 mA/g); the initial discharge capacity decreased from 158 mAh/g to 60 mAh/g in the undoped powder, while from 154 mAh/g to 135 mAh/g in the Zr-doped powder of 1 mol% after 30 cycles. The excellent cycle stability of Zr-doped powder was due to the low polarization during chargedischarge processes which resulted from the delayed collapse of the crystal structure of the active materials with Zr-doping.

Niobium doped zirconium oxide (Nb-Zr-O:NZO) thin films were fabricated on Si substrates by a sol-gel technique with an annealing temperatures of $500{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ in air ($N_2:O_2=3:1$) for 20 minutes. It was found that the NZO film is based on tetragonal $ZrO_2$ polycrystalline structure with the Nb 5+ ion state and there is almost no diffusion of Nb or Zr to Si substrate. The relative dielectric constant for the NZO film with the Nb composition of 30 mol% and annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ was around 40. The root mean roughness was 1.02 nm. In addition, the leakage current of NZO films was as low as $10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at 4.4 V.

Transparent thin films of pure and nickel-doped ZrO₂ are grown successfully by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The structural and optical properties according to the different annealing temperatures (300 ℃, 400 ℃ and 500 ℃) are investigated. Analysis of crystallographic properties through X-ray diffraction pattern reveals an increase in crystallite size due to increase in crystallinity with temperature. All fabricated thin films are highly-oriented along (101) planes, which enhances the increase in nickel doping. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy are employed to confirm the homogeneity in surface morphology as well as the doping configuration of films. The extinction coefficient is found to be on the order of 10^-2, showing the surface smoothness of deposited thin films. UV-visible spectroscopy reveals a decrease in the optical band gap with the increase in annealing temperature due to the increase in crystallite size. The variation in Urbach energy and defect density with doping and the change in annealing temperature are also studied.

A series of Zr,S co-doped $TiO_2$ were synthesized by a modified sol-gel method and characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The presence of sulfur caused a red-shift in the absorption band of $TiO_2$. Co-doping of sulfur and zirconium (Zr-$TiO_2$-S) improves the surface properties such as surface area, pore volume, and pore diameter and also enhances the thermal stability of the anatase phase. The Zr-$TiO_2$-S systems are very effective visible-light active catalysts for the degradation of toluene. All reactions follow pseudo firstorder kinetics with the decomposition rate reaching as high as 77% within 4 h. The catalytic activity decreases in the following order: Zr-$TiO_2$-S >$TiO_2$-S >Zr-$TiO_2$>$TiO_2$$\approx$ P-25, demonstrating the synergic effect of codoping with zirconium and sulfur. When the comparison is made within the series of Zr-$TiO_2$-S, the catalytic performance is found to be a function of Zr-contents as follows: 3 wt % Zr-TiO2-S >0.5 wt % Zr-$TiO_2$-S> 5 wt % Zr-$TiO_2$-S >1 wt % Zr-$TiO_2$-S. Higher calcination temperature decreases the reactivity of Zr-$TiO_2$-S.

Eu-doped lead zirconium titanate $Pb_{1.1}(Zr_{0.3}Ti_{0.7})O_{3}$ thin films on the Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrates prepared by a metalorganic decomposition (MOD) method. The effect on the structural and electrical properties of the films measured according to Eu content. Eu-doping altered significantly the dielectric and ferroelectric properties. The remanent polarization and coercive field decreased with increasing the concentration of Eu content. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the film decreased with increasing Eu contents. The 3 mol% of Eu-doped PZT thin film showed large remanent polarization and the fatigue characteristic of the film did not change up to $10^9$ switching cycles.

The oxidation resistance of the diffusion aluminide bond coat (BC) is compromised largely by interdiffusion (ID) effects on coated turbine blades of aeroengines. The present study is designed to understand the influence of ID on βNiAl coatings or BC. In this regard, nickel substrate and CMSX-4 superalloy are deposited. In total, four sets of BCs are developed, i.e. pure βNiAl (on Ni substrate), simple βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate), Zr-βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate) and Pt-βNiAl (on CMSX-4 substrate). The main aim of this study is to understand the interdiffusion of Al, Zr and Pt during preparation and oxidation. In addition, the beneficial effects of both Zr and platinum are assessed. Pure βNiAl and simple βNiAl show Ni-out-diffusion, whereas for platinum inward diffusion to the substrate is noticed under vacuum treatment. Interestingly, Zr-βNiAl shows the least ID in all BCs and exhibit stability under both vacuum and oxidation treatments. However, its spallation resistance is slightly lower than that of Pt-βNiAl BC. All BCs show similar oxide growth trends, except for Zr-βNiAl, which exhibits two-stage oxidations, i.e. transient and steady-state. Moreover, it is suggested that the localized spallation in all BCs is caused by βNiAl - γ'-Ni₃Al transformation.

세리아 분말은 Ce 이온의 산화, 환원 반응을 통한 산소저장능력(OSC)이 뛰어나 배기가스를 정화하는 자동차의 삼원촉매에 대표적인 재료로 사용된다. 그러나 일반적으로 세리아는 고온에서 열적 안정성이 떨어지기 때문에 금속이온을 도핑시켜 열적 안정성을 향상시켜 사용한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Zr 이온을 세리아 분말에 도핑시켰고, 도핑으로 인해 입자크기가 감소하면서 비 표면적 증가로 인해 그 특성은 더욱 향상되었다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 세리아 및 Zr 이온이 도핑된 세리아를 나노 크기로 합성하기 위해 수열반응법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 수열합성 조건은 pH = 11, 반응온도는 $200^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 합성하였다. 수열합성법을 이용하여 합성된 세리아 및 Zr 도핑 $CeO_2$ 나노 분말의 평균 입자 크기는 약 20 nm 이하였다. 합성된 세리아 나노분말의 비표면적은 $52.03m^2/g$, Zr 이온이 도핑된 $CeO_2$ 분말의 비 표면적 $132.27m^2/g$이었다.
