Need for plasma resistant ceramic materials has been continuously increased in semiconductor and display industry requiring plasma processing to realize ultra fine circuit process. Among promising candidates, alumina ceramics have still some advantages with respect to its economic aspect. In this study, fabrication of plasma resistant alumina ceramics was tried, and its processing optimization was also aimed. Careful processing control and thereby uniform microstructure of $Al_2O_3$ gave rise to enhanced plasma resistance, even comparable to market-governing commercial $Al_2O_3$. A further study is needed concerning ${\beta}-Al_2O_3$ materials system, presumably playing a decisive role in decreasing plasma resistance of $Al_2O_3$ ceramics.

β-Al2O3, which is used for solid electrolyte membrances in sodium-sulfur batteries, was prepared by sol-gel process. Sodium-n-propoxide NaOC3H7 and aluminum-isopropoxide Al(OC3H7)3 were hydrolyzated in the solution at pH 3, pH 7, pH 9 and pH 11, respectively. The sol-gel processed samples were calcined at several temperature steps, respectively and analysed by thermal analyser(DT-TGA), infrared spectrum analyser and X-ray diffraction analyser. The gelling rate of solution at pH 7 was much higher than that of the solution at pH 3. Thermal exchanging behavior of the gels at pH 3 were similar to Na2O·Al2O3·6H2O and, above pH 7, were similar to Na2O·Al2O3·3H2O. When samples' composition ratio was 9.13 : 90.87 [NaOC3H7:Al(OC3H7)3] at pH 7, β-Al2O3 was formed at 1100℃.

Blue phosphor of Ba-Mg-Al-O:Eu$^{2+}$ phase was fabricated by conventional firing techniques under reducing atmosphere and its photoluminescence properties are studied with varying Eu concentration and phost-annealing temperature under air atmosphere. This phosphors were well crystallized with particle size in the range of 3~5um and emitted a blue light at a dominent wavelength 450nm for 254nm UV irradiation. The concentration quenching wit Eu$^{2+}$ was that with increasing Eu concentration the energy transfer between the activator ions steadily improves, so that the excitation energy is transported over larger distances through the lattice before luminescence can occur. Thermal quenching also occurred in this phosphor means that in a host lattice with the $\beta$-alumina structure the bond of an Eu$^{2+}$ ion with the nearest-neighbour oxygen ion is much stronger than in a lattice with the magnetoplumbite structure.cture.

나트륨 유황 전지는 $350^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 작동하는 대용량 전지로 에너지 저장 시스템에 주로 사용된다. 전지는 음극 액체 나트륨과 양극 액체 유황 그리고 고체 전해질 베타 알루미나(${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina)로 구성되어 있다. 이 전지는 초기충방전 사이클에서 상당한 전압변화를 보이기 때문에 전지의 안정화를 위해 컨디셔닝 과정이 필요하다. 실험 결과 전지 전압 변화의 주요한 원인 중의 하나가 액체 나트륨과 고체 전해질과의 접촉 면적이 변하기 때문인 것을 알았다.

This analyzed a Young's modulus (E), a thermal expansion coefficient (TEC, ${\beta}$) and a thermal conductivity (${\kappa}$) of the material with simple cubic particulate inclusion using two model structures: a parallel structure and a series structure of laminated layers. The derived ${\beta}$ equations were applied to calculate the ${\beta}$ value of the W-MgO system. The accuracy was higher for the series model structure than for the parallel model structure. Young's moduli ($E_c$) of sintered porous alumina compacts were theoretically related to the development of neck growth of grain boundary between sintered two particles and expressed as a function of porosity. The series structure model with cubic pores explained well the increased tendency of $E_c$ with neck growth rather than the parallel structure model. The thermal conductivity of the three phase system of alumina-mullite-pore was calculated by a theoretical equation developed in this research group, and compared with the experimental results. The pores in the sintered composite were treated as one phase. The measured thermal conductivity of the composite with 0.5-25% porosity (open and closed pores) was in accordance with the theoretical prediction based on the parallel structure model.

To fabricate a full-scale pilot model of the cost-effective Na-(Ni,Fe)Cl₂ cell, a Na-beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE) was developed by applying a one-step synthesis cum sintering process as an alternative to the conventional solid-state reaction process. Also, Fe metal powder, which is cheaper than Ni, was mixed with Ni metal powder, and was used for cathode material to reduce the cost of raw material. As a result, we then developed a prototype Na-(Ni,Fe)Cl₂ cell. Consequently, the Ni content in the Na-(Ni,Fe)Cl₂ cell is decreased to approximately (20 to 50) wt.%. The #1 prototype cell (dimensions: 34 mm × 34 mm × 235 mm) showed a cell capacity of 15.9 Ah, and 160.3 mAh g^-1 (per the Ni-Fe composite), while the #2 prototype cell (dimensions: 50 mm × 50 mm × 335 mm) showed a cell capacity of 49.4 Ah, and 153.2 mAh g^-1 at the 2^nd cycle.

대기압하에서 소결이 어렵다고 알려진 초이온 전도체인 $K^+$-beta-aluminas를 attrition mill을 이용하여 약 350 nm의 평균 입도를 가지는 분말로 분쇄한 후, 시편을 일축가압 성형하여 상압 하에서 동일조성의 분위기 분말을 이용하여 소결하였다. 소결온도는 $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1650^{\circ}C$까지 $50^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 소결하였으며, 각 소결온도에서 시간에 따른 소결특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 고온에서 입자 성장 속도를 조절하기 위하여 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 zone sintering을 실시하였다. $1600^{\circ}C$와 $1650^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 경우와 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 zone sintering한 시편의 경우, 각각 약 93%와 95%의 소결 밀도를 나타내었다. $1600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 2 h 이상 장시간 소결할 경우, 입자의 거대성장으로 인하여 소결밀도가 90% 미만으로 감소하였다.

Alumina supported polyphosphoric acid (PPA/$Al_2O_3$) was successfully prepared by impregnation of alumina support by polyphosphoric acid and characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, the $N_2$ adsorption/desorption analysis (BET), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The catalytic behavior of this new solid acid supported heterogeneous catalyst was checked in the synthesis of 14-aryl-14H-dibenzo[a, j]xanthenes by cyclocondensation reaction of ${\beta}$-naphthol and aryl aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. The results showed that the novel catalyst has high activity and the desired products were obtained in very short reaction times with high yields. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily recovered by filtration and reused at least three times with only slight reduction in its catalytic activity.

In this study, we introduce a Na β"-alumina composite thick film as a solid electrolyte, to reduce the resistance of electrolyte for a Na/S battery. An alumina/zirconia composite material was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the electrolyte. A solid electrolyte of about 40 ㎛ thick was successfully fabricated through the conversion and tape-casting methods. In order to investigate the effect of the surface treatment process of the solid electrolyte on the battery performance, the electrolyte was polished by dry and wet processes, respectively, and then the Na/S batteries were prepared for analyzing the battery characteristics. The battery with the dry process performed much better than the battery made with the wet process. As a result, the battery manufactured by the dry process showed excellent performance. Therefore, it is confirmed that the surface treatment process of the solid electrolyte has an important effect on the battery capacity and coulombic efficiency, as well as the interface reaction.
