The presently commercialized lithium-ion batteries use layer structured LiCoO₂ cathodes. Because of the high cost and toxicity of cobalt, an intensive search for new cathode materials has been underway in recent years. Recently, a concept of a one-to-one solid state mixture of LiNO₂ and LiMnO₂, i.e., Li[Ni/sub 0.5/Mn/sub 0.5/]O₂, was adopted by Ohzuku and Makimura to overcome the disadvantage of LiNiO₂ and LiMnO₂. Li[Ni/sub 0.5/Mn/sub 0.5/]O₂ has the -NaFeO₂ structure, which is characteristic of the layered LiCoO₂ and LiNiO₂ structures and shows excellent cycleability with no indication of spinel formation during electrochemical cycling. Layered Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂ (x = 0.5 and 0.475) materials with high homogeneity and crystallinity were synthesized using a mechanical alloying method. The Li[Ni/sub 0.475/Co/sub 0.05/Mn/sub 0.475/]O₂ electrode delivers a high discharge capacity of 187 mAh/g between 2.8 and 4.6 V at a high current density of 0.3 mA/㎠(30 mA/g) with excellent cycleability. The charge/discharge and differential capacity vs. voltage studies of the Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂ (x = 0.5 and 0.475) materials showed only one redox peak up to 50 cycles, which indicates that structural phase transitions are not occurred during electrochemical cycling. The magnitude of the diffusion coefficients of lithium ions for Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂(x = 0.5 and 0.475) are around 10/sup -9/ ㎠/s measured by the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT).

All solid-state thin film lithium batteries have many applications in miniaturized devices because of lightweight, long-life, low self-discharge and high energy density. The research of cathode materials for thin film lithium batteries that provide high energy density at fast discharge rates is important to meet the demands for high-power applications. Among cathode materials, lithium manganese oxide materials as spinel-based compounds have been reported to possess specific advantages of high electrochemical potential, high abundant, low cost, and low toxicity. However, the lithium manganese oxide has problem of capacity fade which caused by dissolution of Mn ions during intercalation reaction and phase instability. For this problem, many studies on effect of various transition metals have been reported. In the preliminary study, the Sn-substituted LiMn2O4 thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition have shown the improvement in discharge capacity and cycleability. In this study, the thin films of LiMn2O4 and LiSn0.0125Mn1.975O4 prepared by RF magnetron sputtering were studied with effect of deposition parameters on the phase, surface morphology and electrochemical property. And, all solid-state thin film batteries comprised of a lithium anode, lithium phosphorus oxy-nitride (LiPON) solid electrolyte and LiMn2O4-based cathode were fabricated, and the electrochemical property was investigated.

This work studies the synthesis of birnessite (${\delta}-MnO_2$), a catalyst of oxidative-coupling reactions, from the powder of spent alkaline manganese batteries (SABP, <8 mesh) and evaluate its reactivity for 1-naphthol (1-NP) removals. Manganese oxides using commercial reagents ($MnSO_4$, $MnCl_2$) and the acid birnessite (A-Bir) by McKenzie method were also synthesized, and their crystallinity and reactivity for 1-NP were compared with one another. 96% Mn and 98% Zn were extracted from SABP by acid leaching at the condition of solid/liquid (S/L) ratio 1:10 in $1.0M\;H_2SO_4+10.5%\;H_2O_2$ at $60^{\circ}C$. From the acid leaching solution, 69% (at pH 8) and 94.3% (pH>13) of Mn were separated by hydroxide precipitation. Optimal OH/Mn mixing ratio (mol/mol) for the manganese oxide (MO) synthesis by alkaline (NaOH) hydrothermal techniques was 6.0. Under this condition, the best 1-NP removal efficiency was observed and XRD analysis confirmed that the MOs are corresponding to birnessite. Kinetic constants (k, at pH 6) for the 1-NP removals of the birnessites obtained from Mn recovered at pH 8 (${Mn^{2+}}_{(aq)}$) and pH>13 ($Mn(OH)_{2(s)}$) are 0.112 and $0.106min^{-1}$, respectively, which are similar to that from $MnSO_4$ reagent ($0.117min^{-1}$). The results indicated that the birnessite prepared from the SABP as a raw material could be used as an oxidative-coupling catalyst for removals of trace phenolic compounds in soil and water, and propose the recycle scheme of SAB for the birnessite synthesis.

Dielectric and electrostrictive properties of 0.99Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.01Pb(Mn2/3W1/3)O3 system using KCl-NaCl salts have been investigated as a function of the amount of excess MgO. For the specimens calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h and then sintered at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h, the perovskite phase and the relative density were about 98% and 95%, respectively. With the addition of excess MgO up to 10mol%, the dielectric constant and the electrostrictive strain increased due to the increase of density and grain size, and these properties were degraded by the further addition of excess MgO. For the 10mol% excess MgO added specimen, the maximum electrostrictive strain, Xmax, and the electrostrictive coefficient, Q11, were 4.5$\times$10-4, 3.5$\times$10-2m4/C2, respectively. These results were correlated with the property of PMW and microstructure.

Recently, new extraction technology for manganese nodule has been developed as alternative noble metallic resources. It is important to understand thermodynamic behaviors of phosphorus in low basic slag system from the viewpoint of the refining processing optimization. Thermodynamic behaviors of phosphorus in the $FeO-MnO-CaO-SiO_2-MgO_{satd.}$ slag system were investigated at 1723 K with various oxygen potential and slag composition of low basicity. The experimental results for dependence of phosphorus on oxygen potential and slag basicity indicated that the dissolution mechanism of phosphorus into slag of low basicity could be derived as follows; $[P]+5/4O_2+(O^{2-})=({PO_{3.5}}^{2-})$ Present experimental results implied that stability of phosphorus in slag would be depended on both of $O^{2-}$ (basicity) and content of $Ca^{2+}$ in molten slag. The thermodynamic effect of FeO, MnO and $Na_2O$ on low basicity on phosphate capacity was discussed.

21 세기는 언제, 어디에서, 누구나가 정보를 자유롭게 염가에 이용할 수 있는 유비쿼터스 정보사회가 될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 사회가 실현되기 위해서는 필연적으로 대두되고 있는 과제가 에너지 공급원의 문제이다. 휴대용 전자제품이나 소형 에너지 공급원으로 지금까지 주로 전지가 사용되어 왔지만 이것들은 교환 및 충전이 불가피하다. 이러한 불편함을 개선하기위해 교환과 충전이 불필요하거나 아주 장시간동안 공급해주는 형태의 에너지 공급원의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 에너지 공급원으로 최근에 많은 연구가 되고 있는 것이 주위의 환경으로부터 버려지는 에너지를 수확(harvesting)하여 전력으로 변환하는 에너지 하베스팅 (energy harvesting)기술이 연구 개발되고 있다. 에너지 하베스팅 응용을 위해서 사용되어지는 압전 세라믹스는 전압출력계수 ($g_{33}$)가 커야하는데 이것은 압전상수 ($d_{33}$)와 유전상수 (${\varepsilon}_{\tau}$)의 값에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져있다. 그 중에서 우수한 전기적 특성 때문에 PZT를 기반으로 하는 압전 세라믹스가 사용되어져왔다. 그러나 Pb의 높은 유독성과 Pb를 포함하는 제품들의 처분문제들로 인해 제조에 관한 많은 문제점들을 지니고있다. 그리하여, Pb를 포함하지 않는 Pb-free계에 관한 연구가 전세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있다. 다양한 Pb-free계 후보자들 가운데 $K_{0.5}Na_{0.5}NbO_3$ (KNN)는 높은 큐리온도와 좋은 강유전 특성 및 압전특성 때문에 PZT를 대체할 가장 장래성있는 대안들 중의 하나로 고려되고 있다. 그러나 고온에서 알칼라인 원소들의 높은 휘발성 때문에 보통의 소결공정으로는 소결이 잘되고 치밀한 세라믹스를 얻기가 어렵다. 많은 연구에서 KNN 세라믹스의 소결성을 개선하기 위하여 강유전 또는 반강유전체인 $SrTiP_3$와 $LiTaO_3$를 고용체 형성에 포함시키고 또한 $K_4CuNb_8O_{23}$, $MnO_2$, CuO등과 같은 소결조제를 첨가하여 압전 특성과 소결성을 개선시켰다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비화학양론적 (1-X)[$[(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5}]_{0.97}(Nb_{0.96}Sb_{0.04})O_3]$ + 0.008CuO + 0.2wt% $Ag_2O$ + X $CeMnO_3$의 조성을 사용하여 A사이트와 B 사이트에 각각 Ce이온과 Mn 이온의 치환량을 변화하여 그에 따른 유전 및 압전특성을 조사하였다.
