본 연구에서는 LiNi0.85Co0.15O2의 전기화학적 특성과 열적 안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 LiNi0.85Co0.15O2에 이종원소인 Zn와 Al을 함께 첨가하여 고상법으로 합성하였다. 물질의 결정 구조, 크기 및 표면 상태는 XRD, SEM을 이용하여 분석하였고 전기화학적 특성은 충방전기를 이용하여 CV(cyclic voltammetry), 초기 충·방전 프로파일, 출력 특성, 수명 특성 등을 측정하였다. Al-O의 강한 결합에너지는 양극활물질의 구조적 안정성을 향상시켰으며, Li+와 Ni2+의 양이온 혼합을 막아 전기화학적 특성 또한 향상되었다. Zn의 큰 이온반경은 양극활물질의 격자상수를 증가시켜 단위 셀의 부피가 확장되었다. Zn와 Al을 0.025몰씩 첨가한 물질의 경우, 0.5 C-rate의 전류밀도에서 100 사이클 동안 80%의 용량 유지율을 보여주었으며 이 결과는 NC 양극활물질보다 12% 높은 수치이다. 또한, 5 C-rate에서의 방전용량은 104 mAh/g으로 기존의 NC 양극활물질보다 36 mAh/g 높은 수치를 보였다. Zn과 Al이 0.025몰씩 첨가된 NC 양극활물질은 출력 특성, 수명 특성에서 우수한 특성을 보여주었다.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) enhances the stability of cathode materials via surface modification. Previous studies have demonstrated that an Ni-rich cathode, such as LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂, is a promising candidate owing to its high capacity, but is limited by poor cycle stability. In this study, to enhance the stability of the Ni-rich cathode, synthesized LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ was coated with Al₂O₃ using ALD. Thus, the surface-modified cathode exhibited enhanced stability by protecting the interface from Ni-O formation during the cycling process. The coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ exhibited a capacity of 176 mAh g^-1 at 1 C and retained up to 72% of the initial capacity after 100 cycles within a range of 2.8-4.3 V (vs Li/Li⁺. In contrast, pristine LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ presented only 58% of capacity retention after 100 cycles with an initial capacity of 173 mAh g^-1. Improved cyclability may be a result of the ALD coating, which physically protects the electrode by modifying the interface, and prevents degradation by resisting side reactions that result in capacity decay. The electrochemical impedance spectra and structural and morphological analysis performed using electron microscopy and X-ray techniques establish the surface enhancement resulting from the aforementioned strategy.

Dense $0.95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-0.05LiTaO_3$ (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding $Na_2CO_3$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of NKN-5LT ceramics were investigated as a function of $Na_2CO_3$ concentration. When the sample sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 h with the addition of 1 mol% $Na_2CO_3$, electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ and piezoelectric coefficient $(d_{33})$ of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.43 and 190 pC/N, respectively.

It was reported that a tetragonal phase can be stabilized with maintaining good piezoelectric properties when Na_0.5K_0.5NbO₃ (KNN) is modified with 0.06 mol SrTiO₃. However, such a high amount of SrTiO₃ leads not only to poor sinterability but low Curie temperature (T_C). To maintain high TC with good piezoelectric properties in KNN-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, this study investigates the effect of Li-doping on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of 0.96Na_0.5K_0.5NbO₃-0.04SrTiO₃ (KNN-4ST) ceramics. As a result, the orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition was observed at 2 mol% Li₂CO₃ modified KNN-4ST ceramics, whose T_C, d₃₃ and k_p values are 328℃, 165pC/N and 0.33, respectively.

The spinel $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized at $480^{\circ}C$ for 12 h in air by a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and lithium hydroxide as starting material and the $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders were synthesized by the precipitation method using $0.2M-FeSO_{4}{\cdot}H_{2}O$ and 0.5M-NaOH. The synthesized $Fe_{3}O_{4}$ powders were mixed at portion of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% about $LiMn_{2}O_{4}$ powders through ball-milling followed by drying at room temperature for 48 h in air. The mixed catalysts were reduced at $350^{\circ}C$ for 3 h by hydrogen and the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was measured at $350^{\circ}C$ using the reduced catalysts. As the results of $CO_{2}$ decomposition experiments, the decomposition rates of carbon dioxide were 85% in all catalysts but the initial decomposition rates of $CO_{2}$ were slightly high in the case of the $5%-Fe_{3}O_{4}$ added catalyst.

Lithium titanate whiske($Li_{x}Ti_{4}O_9$) was prepared by an ion-exchange reaction. To this end, the initial material, potassium tetratitanate ($K_{2}Ti_{4}O_9{\cdot}nH_{2}O$) was prepared by calcination of a mixture of $K_{2}CO_3\;and\;TiO_2$ with a molar ratio of 2.8 at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, followed by boiling water treatment of the calcined products for 10 h. Fibrous potassium tetratitanate could be transformed into layered hydrous titanium dioxide ($H_{2}Ti_{4}O_9{\cdot}nH_{2}O$) through an exchange of $K^{+}\;with\;H^{+}$ using 0.075 M HCl. Also, lithium titanate whisker was finally prepared as $Li^{+}\;and\;H^{+}$ ions were exchanged by adding 20 mL of a mixture solution of LiOH and $LiNO_3$ to 1g whisker and stirring for $5\~15$ days. The average length and diameter of the $Li_{x}Ti_{4}O_9$ whiskers were $10\~20{\mu}m\;and\;1\~3{\mu}m$, respectively.
