Core-shell structured nanoparticles are garnering attention because these nanoparticles are expected to have a wide range of applications. The objective of the present study is to improve the coating efficiency of gold shell formed on the surface of silica nanoparticles for SiO2@Au core-shell structure. For the efficient coating of gold shell, we attempt an in-situ synthesis method such that the nuclei of the gold nanoparticles are generated and grown on the surface of silica nanoparticles. This method can effectively form a gold shell as compared to the conventional method of attaching gold nanoparticles to silica particles. It is considered possible to form a dense gold shell because the problems caused by electrostatic repulsion between the gold nanoparticles in the conventional method are eliminated.

정삼투 공정에 유용한 유도용질로서 n-nitrilotris(methylene) phosphonic acid (NTPA) 염을 합성하였다. NTPA에 첨가하는 KOH의 함량을 변화시켜 NTPA-4K, NTPA-5K, NTPA-6K 세 종류의 유도용질을 합성하고 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR을 통하여 확인하였다. 유도용질의 물성을 확인하기 위해 삼투압, 점도, 수투과도, 역염 투과도를 측정하였다. 정삼투 공정에서는 증류수를 유입용액으로 사용하고 0.5 M의 유도용액으로 실험한 결과 각각 수투과도는 35.8, 38.8, 42.2 LMH를 나타내고 5.4, 6.9, 7.4 gMH의 역염 투과도를 나타내었다. 이는 기존의 NaCl 유도용액보다 높은 수투과도와 훨씬 낮은 역염 투과도를 확인 하였다. 정삼투 공정 후 묽어진 유도용질의 회수를 위해 나노여과 방식으로 상용막을 사용하여 제거율을 측정한 결과 90% 이상의 높은 성능을 확인하였다.

Over the last decade, the study of the synthesis of semiconductor colloidal quantum dots has progressed at a tremendous rate. Colloidal quantum dots, which possess unique spectral-luminescent characteristics, are of great interest in the development of novel materials and devices, which are promising for use in various fields. Several studies have been carried out on hot injection synthesis methods. However, these methods have been found to be unsuitable for large-capacity synthesis. Therefore, this review paper introduces synthesis methods other than the hot injection synthesis method, to synthesize quantum dots with excellent optical properties, through continuous synthesis and large capacity synthesis. In addition, examples of the application of synthesized colloid quantum dots in displays, solar cells, and bio industries are provided.

In the present work, we synthesize nano-sized ZnO, SnO2, and TiO2 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 1000oC, a complete collapse of the shape occurs. With regard to the capacity of DSSC materials, the hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 results in the highest current density of 9.1 mA/cm² among the examined oxides. This is attributed to the fine particle size and morphology with large specific surface area.

Microalgae produce not only lipids for biodiesel production but also valuable biochemicals which are often accumulated under cellular stress mediated by certain chemicals. While the microcarriers for the application of drug delivery systems for animal cells are widely studied, their applications into microalgal research or biorefinery are rarely investigated. Here we develope dual-functional magnetic microcapsules which work not only as flocculants for microalgal harvesting but also potentially as microcarriers for the controlled release of target chemicals stimulating microalgae to enhance the accumulation of valuable chemicals. Magnetic microcapsules are synthesized by layer-by-layer(LbL) coating of PSS-PDDA on Fe3O4 nanoparticle-embedded CaCO3 microparticles followed by removing CaCO3 sacrificial templates. The positively charged magnetic microcapsules flocculate microalgae by electrostatic interaction which are sequentially collected by the magnetophoretic separation. The microcapsules with a polycationic outer layer provide efficient binding sites for negatively charged microalgae and by that means are further utilized as a chemical-delivery and flocculation system for microalgal research and biorefineries.

Recently, the properties of nanostructured materials as advanced engineering materials have received great attention. These properties include fracture toughness and a high degree of hardness. To hinder grain growth during sintering, it is necessary to fabricate nanostructured materials. In this respect, a high-frequency induction-heated sintering method has been presented as an effective technique for making nanostructured materials at a lower temperature in a very short heating period. Nanopowders of W and Al2O3 are synthesized from WO3 and Al powders during high-energy ball milling. Highly dense nanostructured W-Al2O3 composites are made within three minutes by high-frequency induction-heated sintering method and materials are evaluated in terms of hardness, fracture toughness, and microstructure. The hardness and fracture toughness of the composite are 1364 kg/mm2 and 7.1 MPa·m1/2, respectively. Fracture toughness of nanostructured W-Al2O3 is higher than that of monolithic Al2O3. The hardness of this composite is higher than that of monolithic W.

Using a high pressure homonizer, we report on the electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12(LTO) particles manufactured as anode active material for lithium ion battery. High-pressure synthesis processing is performed under conditions in which the mole fraction of Li/Ti is 0.9, the synthesis pressure is 2,000 bar and the numbers of passings-through are 5, 7 and 10. The observed X-ray diffraction patterns show that pure LTO is manufactured when the number of passings-through is 10. It is found from scanning electron microscopy analysis that the average size of synthesized particles decreases as the number of passings-through increases. LiCoO2-based active cathode materials are used to fabricate several coin half/full cells and their battery characteristics such as lifetime, rate capability and charge transfer resistance are then estimated, revealing quite good electrochemical performance of the LTO particles as an effective anode active material for lithium secondary batteries.

In this paper, the recovery and nanoparticle synthesis of Ag from low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) by-products are studied. The effect of reaction behavior on Ag leaching conditions from the LTCC by-products is confirmed. The optimum leaching conditions are determined to be: 5 M HNO3, a reaction temperature of 75℃, and a pulp density of 50 g/L at 60 min. For the selective recovery of Ag, the [Cl]/[Ag] equivalence ratio experiment is performed using added HCl; most of the Ag (more than 99%) is recovered. The XRD and MP-AES results confirm that the powder is AgCl and that impurities are at less than 1%. Ag nanoparticles are synthesized using a chemical reduction process for recycling, NaBH4 and PVP are used as reducing agents and dispersion stabilizers. UV-vis and FE-SEM results show that AgCl powder is precipitated and that Ag nanoparticles are synthesized. Ag nanoparticles of 100% Ag are obtained under the chemical reaction conditions.

Graphene is an interesting material because it has remarkable properties, such as high intrinsic carrier mobility, good thermal conductivity, large specific surface area, high transparency, and high Young’s modulus values. It is produced by mechanical and chemical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and epitaxial growth. In particular, large-area and uniform single- and few-layer growth of graphene is possible using transition metals via a thermal CVD process. In this study, we utilize polystyrene and boron oxide, which are a carbon precursor and a doping source, respectively, for synthesis of pristine graphene and boron doped graphene. We confirm the graphene grown by the polystyrene and the boron oxide by the optical microscope and the Raman spectra. Raman spectra of boron doped graphene is shifted to the right compared with pristine graphene and the crystal quality of boron doped graphene is recovered when the synthesis time is 15 min. Sheet resistance decreases from approximately 2000 Ω/sq to 300Ω/sq with an increasing synthesis time for the boron doped graphene.

Hydrothermal synthesis of highly crystalline TiO2 nanorods is a well-developed technique and the nanorods have been widely used as the template for growth of various core-shell nanorod structures. Magneli/CdS core-shell nanorod structures are fabricated for the photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) electrode to achieve enhanced carrier transport along the metallic magneli phase nanorod template. However, the long and thin TiO2 nanorods may form a high resistance path to the electrons transferred from the CdS layer. TiO2 nanorods synthesized are reduced to magneli phases, TixO2x-1, by heat treatment in a hydrogen environment. Two types of magneli phase nanorods of Ti4O7 and Ti3O5 are synthesized. Structural morphology and X-ray diffraction analyses are carried out. CdS nano-films are deposited on the magneli nanorods for the main light absorption layer to form a photoanode, and the PEC performance is measured under simulated sunlight irradiation and compared with the conventional TiO2/CdS core-shell nanorod electrode. A higher photocurrent is observed from the stand-alone Ti3O5/CdS coreshell nanorod structure in which the nanorods are grown on both sides of the seed layer.

Purpose: This study was aimed to provide in-depth understanding of male nurses’ work adaptation experience and suggest future directions for nursing interventions for them by synthesizing individual qualitative findings. Methods: Qualitative meta-synthesis method suggested by Sandelowski and Barroso was utilized. A total of 6 qualitative studies’ findings were synthesized to describe male nurses’ experience of work adaptation in clinical settings. Results: The major task regarding male nurses’ work adaptation was ‘planting himself in the workplace.’ Its contextual and related factors to the task include: extraordinary choice for men, female-centered hierarchical work culture, gender difference vs. interindividual difference, stereotyped view on ‘male’ nurses, strengthening work identity of nursing profession, and dim future even after many years of experience. Conclusion: The findings illuminated the necessity of orchestrated efforts from both female and male nurses to form work environments overcoming gender bias and promoting adaptation of male nurses in clinical settings.

Two new synergists are proposed for pigment dispersion in pigment ink. Benzoic acid was applied to Pigment Yellow 74 (PY-74) and Pigment Yellow 150 (PY-150) as a hydrophilic functional group to synthesize (E)-4-(((3-(2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)hydrazono)-4-oxopent-1-en-2-yl)(2-methoxyph enyl)am-ino)methyl)benzoic acid (PY-74BA) and (E)-4-((2,4,6-trioxo-5-((2,4,6-trioxohexahydropyrimidin-5-yl)di-azenyl)tetrahydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)methyl)ben zoic acid (PY-150BA). Whereas pigment showed extremely low solubility in water and organic solvents like DMSO, DMF and methanol, two synergists were found to have higher solubility than pigment. This result can be interpreted as reduction of particle aggregation by increased polarity. Two synergists applied to pigment ink are expected to improve dispersion property and storage stability of ink.
