Surface oxides and intergranular (IG) oxidation phenomena in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration were characterized to obtain clear insight into the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) behavior upon exposure to pressurized water reactor primary water. When hydrogen concentration was between 5 and 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O, NiFe₂O₄ and NiO type oxides were found on the surface. NiO type oxides were found inside the oxidized grain boundary when hydrogen concentration was 5 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. However, only NiFe₂O₄ spinel on the surface and Ni enrichment were observed when hydrogen concentration was 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. These results indicate that the oxidation/reduction reaction of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can considerably affect surface oxidation behavior. It appears that the formation of NiO type oxides in a Ni oxidation state and Ni enrichment in a Ni reduction (or metallic) state are common in primary water. It is believed that the above different oxidation/reduction reactions of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can also significantly affect the resistance to PWSCC of Alloy 600.

To better understand the codeposition mechanism of phosphorous, surface pH and potential of cathode were measured during electrodeposition of Ni-P alloys. The pH of cathode surface was measured using a flat-bottom glass pH electrode and a 500 mesh gold gauze as cathode. The cathode surface pH was increased with increasing the current density and always higher than the pH in the bulk solution. As a result of overplotting the surface pH and cathode potential on the Pourbaix diagram, it was found that cathode surface shift to the domain of predominant of $H_2$$PO3$-or $H_2$$PO_2$-. Additionally, new deposition mechanism was suggested that $H_2$ $PO_2$- and $H_2$$PO_3$- play important roles in the deposition reaction of Ni-P alloys.

The tridentate schiff base, salicylidene imino-o-thiolbenzene, has been synthetized from salicylaldehyde and o-amino thiolbenzene by Duff reaction. The schiff base has been reacted with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II), to form new complexes; Cu(II)$[C_{13}H_9ONS]{\cdot}3H_2O$, Ni(II)$[C_{13}H_9ONS]{\cdot}3H_2O,\;Zn(II)[C_{13}H_9ONS]{\cdot}3H_2O$ It appears that the Cu(II)-complex has tetra-coordinated configuration with the schiff base and one molecule of water, while the Ni(II) and Zn(II)-complexes have hexacoordinated configuration with the schiff base and three molecules of water. The mole ratio of tridentate schiff base ligand to metals was 1:1. These complexes have been identified by infrared spectra, visible spectra, TGA, DTA and elemental analysis.

In-situ lithiated NiO has been manufactured as a conventional cathode material of molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), however this material has a weakness for commercialization of MCFC because NiO is spontaneously dissolved into the electrolyte under MCFC operating conditions, resulting in short circuit between cathode and anode. In this research, therefore, $Co(OH)_2$-coated Ni powder was prepared by precipitation method with controlling pH at low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Modified cathode was fabricated by a conventional tape casting method and sintered at 700$^{\circ}C$ in a $H_2/N_2$ atmosphere, Based on characterization result, Pore size distribution and porosity was suitable for the cathode of MCFC. According to the result of dissolution, Ni solubility of modified cathode was 33% lower than that of conventional cathode. In addition, modified electrode showed a good performance from the single cell operation.

A mono-disperse Ni powders for multilayer ceramic capacitors were prepared in a large scale by solution reduction method using $NiSO_{4}$ $N_{2}$$H_{4}$and NaOH. The exothermic reactions such as Ni-complex formation between highly concentrated $NiSO_{4}$ and $N_{2}$$H_{4}$ and the reduction of $Ni^{2+}$ into Ni provided thermal energy sufficient for spontaneous solution-reduction reaction. Because well-defined Ni particles could be prepared without external heating, the present method was named as 'auto-thermal method'. The formation of Ni­complex, the precipitation of $Ni(OH)_{2}$ gel triggered by NaOH addition, and its reduction into Ni by dissolution-recrystallization route were the reaction mechanism. The preparation of mono-disperse and spherical Ni powder was attributed to uniform distribution of reducing agent $N_{2}$$H_{2}$ within $Ni(OH)_{2}$ gel due to the decomposition of$NiSO_{4}$-$N_{2}$ $H_{4}$ complex.

Rates and equilibriurn of complex formation between $Ni^{2+}$ and D-penicillamine have been investigated in aqueous solutions. Kinetic study on the complex formation were performed in the pH range of 8∼9 by the use of pressure-jump technique. D-Penicillamine coordinates to the nickel(II) ion utilizing sulfur and nitrogen as donor atoms in the high pH condition (pH 9.2). However, in the pH range of 8.25∼9.07, the stepwise stability constant becomes drastically reduced and the undissociated mercapto group does not participate in bonding. The rate-determining step of the complexation reaction is found to be the release of a water molecule from the inner-coordination sphere of $Ni^{2+}$ ion.

Reaction mechanism on the solvent extraction of nickel(Ⅱ) with N-benzylisonitrosoacetylacetone imine(HIAANB) was studied spectrophotometrically. Absorbance was measured by changing the ligand HIAANB concentration in the chloroform organic phase and the pH values in the agueous solution phase. From the absorbance data, the reaction rate was found to be the first order for HIAANB concentration and the inverse first one for [$H^+$]. The rate determining step of the extraction reaction and the rate equation are as follows; $Ni^{2+}$＋HIAANB ${\to}$ Ni-IAANB$^+$＋$H^+$ -d[Ni$^{2+}$] / dt = K'[Ni$^{2+}$][HIAANB]$_0$ / [H$^+$] Calibration curve for the spectrophotometric determination of nickel(Ⅱ) ion in the aqueous solution was linear below the concentration of 1.17 ppm at the optimum experimental condition. And the ligand-to-metal ratio, the relationship between extractability and pH of the aqueous phase, and the effect of diverse ion on the determination of nickel(Ⅱ) ion were examined.

Decomposition reaction of methanol was conducted on Ni-Cu/SiO$_2$catalysts with several variables. Variables used in this study are S.V(Space Velocity), partial pressure of methanol, reaction temperature, and composition rate of Ni-Cu. The range of S.V is 10,000-30,000h$\^$-1/, the temperature range is 150-400$^{\circ}C$ and values of Cu/(Ni＋Cu) are 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. Over Ni/SiO$_2$, and Ni-Cu/SiO$_2$, the conversion rate of decomposition reaction of methanol arrived at 100% with increasing of temperature. At this time the selectivity of CO on Ni/SiO$_2$, was suddenly decreased, but on Ni-Cu/SiO$_2$, it was still sustained highly. The main products of reaction were CO and H$_2$, and by-products were CO$_2$ and CH$_4$mainly.

Hydrothermal reactions of Ni(NO₃)₂· 6H₂O with trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bipyen), in the presence of a linear 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (NDCH₂) and a bent 4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid) (OBCH₂), gave a 2-D coordination polymer [Ni(NDC)(bipyen)(H₂O)] (1) and also a 2-D coordination polymer [Ni(OBC)(bipyen)]· H₂O (2), respectively. A reversible de-coordination and re-coordination of an aqua ligand was observed for polymer 1. Polymer 2 has an undulated 2-D network based on 50-membered rectangular grids, each of which has the dimension of 13.61 × 13.17 Å.

The tetradentate schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis(salicylaldehyde)-m-phenylenediimine has been prepared from salicylaldehyde and m-phenylenediamine by Duff-reaction. The schiff base ligand has been reacted with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Zn(II) to form new complexes; Cu(II)$[C_{20}H_{14}O_2N_2]{\cdot}2H_2O, Ni(II)[C_{20}H_{14}O_2N_2]{\cdot}2H_2O, Co(III)[C_{20}H_{14}O_2N_2]{\cdot}2H_2O and Zn(II)2[C_{20}H_{14}O_2N_2]{\cdot}4H_2O$. It seems to be that the Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes have hexacoordinated configuration with the schiff base and two molecules of water, while Zn(II) complex has tetracoordinated configuration with the schiff base and four molecules of water. The mole ratio of tetradentate schiff base ligand to Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) are 1:1 but to Zn(II) is 1:2. These complexes have been identified by visible spectra, infrared spectra, T.G.A. and elemental analysis.
