본 연구에서는 TiO2 입자를 얻을 수 있는 침전법을 이용하여 TiO2 입자를 제조하였다. TiO2 입자 제조시 사용되는 알콜 용매의 종류와 온도 변화 등의 매개변수가 TiO2 입자의 결정 구조, 입자의 크기 및 형태에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. TiO2 입자제조시 용매로 사용한 알콜 종류인 methyl alcohol, iso-propylalcohol, 그리고 tert-butylalcohol를 scanning electron microscope(SEM) 분석한 결과 iso-propylalcohol이 가장 좋은 결과를 가져왔다. 그리고 온도 변화를 열분석법을 사용한 결과 200℃에서 500℃까지는 아나타제 구조를 유지하였으나, 800℃에서는 루틸 구조로 전환되었다.

The particle size of MgO was examined as a function of the Na content in Mg(OH)2 powders and the calcination temperature. Mg(OH)2 suspension was obtained by dropwise precipitation of Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and NaOH solutions. The suspension was diluted by varying the dilution volume ratio of distilled water to Mg(OH)2 suspension to change the Na salt concentration in the suspension. Mg(OH)2 slurry was filtered and dried at 60˚C under vacuum, and then its Mg(OH)2 powder was calcined to produce MgO with different amount of Na content at 500~900˚C under air. Investigation of the physical and chemical properties of the various MgO powders with dilution ratio and calcination temperature variation was done by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, BET specific surface area and thermal gravimetric analysis. It was observed that MgO particle size could depend on the condition of calcination temperature and dilution ratio of the Mg(OH)2 suspension. The particle size of the MgO depends on the Na content remaining in the Mg(OH)2 powder, which powder was prepared by changing the dilution ratio of the Mg(OH)2 suspension. This change increased as the calcination temperature increased and decreased as the dilution ratio increased. The growth of MgO particle size according to the increase of temperature was more effective when there was a relatively high content of Na. The increase of Na content lowered the temperature at which decomposition of Mg(OH)2 to MgO took place, thereby promoting the crystal growth of MgO.

The objectives of this study were the development of a synthesis technique for highly active nanosized ITO powder and the understanding of the reaction mechanisms of the ITO precursors. The precipitation and agglomeration phenomena in ITO and precursors are very sensitive to reaction temperature, pH, and coexisting ion species. Excessive ion and ions had a negative effect an synthesizing highly active powders. However, with a relevant stabilizing treatment the shape and size of ITO and precursors could be controlled and high density sintered products of ITO were obtained. By applying the reprecipitation process (or stabilization technique), highly active ITO and powders were synthesized. Sintering these powders at for 5 hours produced 97% dense ITO bodies.

Silver particles were synthesized from silver nitrate by homogeneous precipitation and chemical reduction methods involving the intermediate silver cyanate. The obtained silver particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and BET. Urea which could prevent the agglomeration of the reduced silver particles was used as a homogeneous precipitator. The spherical silver particles with average particle diameter of 100 nm were obtained under the optimum reaction conditions. The optimum synthetic conditions were found as follows: reaction temperature , reaction time 60 min, concentration of silver nitrate mol, urea mol, and sodium citrate mol. The phase of obtained silver particles was crystalline state and the silver particles were relatively dense, which had the surface area of .

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/SnO2 nano-composite (MSC) for the anode electrode of a Li-ion battery was prepared using a homogeneous precipitation method with SnCl2 precursors in the presence of MWNT. XRD results indicate that when annealed in Ar at 400˚C, Sn6O4(OH)4 was fully converted to SnO2 phases. TEM observations showed that most of the SnO2 nanoparticles were deposited directly on the outside surface of the MWNT. The electrochemical performance of the MSC electrode showed higher specific capacities than a MWNT and better cycleability than a nano-SnO2 electrode. The electrochemical performance of the MSC electrode improved because the MWNT in the MSC electrode absorbed the mechanical stress induced from a volume change during alloying and de-alloying reactions with lithium, leading to an increase in the electrical conductivity of the composite material.

Nanocrystalline transient aluminas (-alumina) were coated on core particles (-alumina) by a carbonate precipitation and thermal-assisted combustion, which is environmentally friend. The ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide (AACH) as a precursor for coating of transient aluminas was produced from precipitation reaction of ammonium aluminum sulfate and ammonium hydrogen carbonate. The crystalline size and morphology of the synthetic, AACH, were greatly dependent on pH and temperature. AACH with a size of 5 nm was coated on the core alumina particle at pH 9. whereas rod shape and large agglomerates were coated at pH 8 and 11, respectively. The AACH was tightly bonded coated on the core particle due to formation of surface complexes by the adsorption of carbonates, hydroxyl and ammonia groups on the surface of the core alumina powder. The synthetic precursor successfully converted to amorphous- and -alumina phase at low temperature through decomposition of surface complexes and thermal-assisted phase transformation.

Dispersion stabilities and photocatalytic activities of rutile powders with unique nano-structure synthesized by homogeneous precipitation process at low temperature(HPPLT) have been investigated in the acrylic resin containing fluorostyrene in the range of mole. Isoelectric point of in the acrylic resin placed in the neutral region whereas that of in the water placed in the acidic region, indicating that zeta potential and agglomeration of powder is strongly dependent on the pH and the type of solvent. To prepare an adhesion, an acrylic resin containing fluorostyrene was synthesized by a radical polymerization. The adhesion of coating layer was increased with increasing fluorostyrene's contents without changing the dispersion stabilities and degrading photocatalytic properties
