Two-step thermochemical cycle using ferrite-oxide($Fe_3O_4$) device was investigated. The $H_2O$(g) was converted into $H_2$ in the first experiment which was performed using a dish type solar thermal system. However the experiment was lasted only for 2 cycles because the metal oxide device was sintered and broken down. Another problem was that the reaction was taken place mainly on a side of the metal oxide device. The $m-ZrO_2$, which was widely known as a material preventing sintering, was applied on the metal oxide device. The ferrite loading rate and the thickness of the metal oxide device were increased from 10.67wt% to 20wt% and from 10mm to 15mm, respectively. The chemical reactor having two inlets was designed in order to supply the reactants uniformly to the metal oxide device. The second-experiment was lasted for 5 cycles, which was for 6 hours. The total amount of the $H_2$ production was 861.30mL.

In this paper, we studied the relation between addition of carbon and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite. The ratio of carbon was 7 wt%. As s result, it has been shown that the electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite are changed by the addition of carbon in composite. And, we can control electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite by the using of carbon.

In this paper, we studied the relation between heat-treatment temperature of ferrite and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite. The heat-treatment temperatures of ferrite are 1200 and $1300^{\circ}C$, 2 hr. As s result. it has been shown that the optimum heat-treatment temperature of ferrite for electromagnetic wave absorber are related to the chemical composition. And, we can control electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite by the control of heat-treatment temperature of ferrite.

In this paper, we studied the relation between using amount of Ferrite and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite. The variation of using amount of Ferrite have been 52 wt.% ~ 62 wt.%. As s result, it has been shown that the electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite are related to the using amount of Ferrite in composite. And, we can control electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of ferrite-rubber composite by the control of using amount of Ferrite.

Electronic products are a major part of evolving industry and human life style; however most of them are known to emit electromagnetic waves that have severe health hazards. Therefore, different materials and fabrication techniques are understudy to control or limit transfer of such waves to human body. In this study, nanocomposite powder is dispersed into epoxy resin and shielding effects such as absorption, reflection, penetration and multiple reflections are investigated. In addition, nano size powder (Ni, $Fe_2O_3$, Fe-85Ni, C-Ni) is fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation method and dispersed manually into epoxy. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy are used to investigate the phase analysis, size and shape as well as dispersion trend of a nano powder on epoxy matrix. Shielding effect is measured by standard test method to investigate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of planar materials, ASTM D4935. At lower frequency, sample consisting nano-powder of Fe-85%Wt Ni shows better electromagnetic shielding effect compared to only epoxy, only Ni, $Fe_2O_3$ and C-Ni samples.

The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ is prepared through a solid-state reaction between $Li_2CO_3$ and anatase $TiO_2$ for applications in lithium-ion batteries. The rate capability is measured and the electrode polarization is analyzed through the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). The rate characteristics and electrode polarization are highly sensitive to the amount of carbon loading. Polarization of the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode continuously increases as the reaction proceeds in both the charge and discharge processes. This relation indicates that both electron conduction and lithium diffusion are significant factors in the polarization of the electrode. The transition metal (Cu, Ni, Fe) ion added during the synthesis of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ for improving the electrical conductivity also greatly enhances the rate capability.

고상반응법을 이용하여 $Ni_{0.6-x}Cu_{x}Zn_{0.4}Fe_{2}O_4$(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) ferrite 분말을 제조하고 1200$^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 Cu 첨가에 따른 입자변화와 전자파흡수 특성과의 관계를 조사하였다. Ni를 Cu로 0.1 mol 치환했을 때 까지는 포화자화 및 전자파흡수능이 치환하지 않았을 때와 거의 비슷하였으나, 그 이상 첨 가시는 직선적으로 감소하였다.

Microstructural properties of as-grown and annealed CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) oxynitride thin films were investigated. The CoCrFeMnNi HEA oxynitride thin film was grown by magnetron sputtering method using an air gas, and annealed under the argon plus air flow for 5 h at $800^{\circ}C$. The as-grown film was homogeneous and uniform composed of nanometer-sized crystalline regions mixed with amorphous-like phase. The crystalline phase in the as-grown film was face centered cubic structure with the lattice constant of 0.4242 nm. Significant microstructural changes were observed after the annealing process. First, it was fully recrystallized and grain growth happened. Second, Ni-rich region was observed in nanometer-scale range. Third, phase change happened and it was determined to be $Fe_3O_4$ spinel structure with the lattice constant of 0.8326 nm. Hardness and Young's modulus of the as-grown film were 4.1 and 150.5 GPa, while those were 9.4 and 156.4 GPa for the annealed film, respectively.

Thermoelectric properties of calcium cobalt layer structure oxide system, $Ca_3Co_2O_6$ and $Ca_3Co_4O_9$ were investigated at the temperature range of 300 to 1000K for the application of thermoelectric generation. In the composition, the Ca site was partially substituted with Bi, Sr, La, K and the Co site was partially substituted with Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn. The thermoelectric properties of Bi substituted $Ca_3Co_4O_9$. $Ca_{2.7}Bi_{0.3}Co_4O_9$ for electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and power factor were $85.4({\Omega}$cm)^{-l}, $176.2{\mu}V/K$ and $265.2{\mu}W/K^m$, respectively. The unit thermoelectric couple was fabricated with the p-type of $Ca_{2.7}Bi_{0.3}Co_4O_9$ and n-type ($Zn_{0.98}Al_{0.02}$)O thermoelectrics whose figure-of-merit(Z) were $0.87{\times}10^{-4}/K$ and $0.41{\times}10^4/K$, respectively. The generated thermoelectric power was about 30mV at the temperature difference of 120K in the unit thermoelectric couple.
