Lithium cobalt oxide $(LiCoO_2)$ cathode powders for rechargeable battery have been successfully prepared using urea hydrolysis method. The obtained hydrolysis-derived precursors with different Li/Co molar ratio were calcined at various temperatures. Low temperature phase $(LT-LiCoO_2)$ and high temperature phase $(HT-LiCoO_2)$ were obtained after calcination at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr, and phase transformation from $LT-LiCoO_2{\;}to{\;}HT-LiCoO_2$ was completely occurred over $700^{\circ}C$. The layered structure of $LiCoO_2$ was well developed with a rise in the calcination temperature. Charge-discharge test show that the lithium cobalt oxide with 1.2 molar ratio prepared at $800^{\circ}C$ has an initial discharge capacity as high as 152 mAh/g, and the relatively stable cycling characteristic with 9.2 % of capacity fading was obtained after 40th charge-discharge test.

Dome stretching tests and tension tests were performed to evaluate the formability of a copper alloy used for manufacturing the regenerative cooling chamber. The test specimens were prepared to investigate the effect of heat treatment and direction of specimens on the formability. The test results show that forming limit values are increased by the heat treatment of the material but the variation of the forming limit values by manufacturing direction is negligible compared to the heat treatment effect, and forming limit values are also different according to the test methods. These results indicate that the high temperature heat treatment of the material before bulging is a very important process to deform the inner cylindrical structure of the regenerative cooling chamber into a nozzle shape by the bulging process without necking or fracture and the test methods also have a great effect on a evaluation of the formability. The forming limit diagram obtained in this study would be utilized to the design of regenerative cooling chamber nozzles.

탄화규소는 그 전기적, 열적 기계적 안정성 때문에 새로운 반도체 재료로서 주목받고 있는 물질이다. 탄화규소를 이용하여 전자소자를 제조하기 위해서는 ohmic 접촉과 Schottky 접촉을 형성하는 전극물질의 개발이 선행되어야 하며, 고온, 고주파, 고출력용 반도체 소자를 제조하기 위해서는 전극의 고온 안정성 확보가 필수적이다. 따라서 탄화규소 소자의 응용범위는 전극에 의해서 제한된다고 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 전극을 증착한 후 원하는 접촉 특성을 얻기 위해서는 열처리 과정을 거쳐야 하며 접촉의 특성이 열처리에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열처리가 금속/탄화규소 접촉의 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 우수한 Schottky 다이오드의 제작 가능성을 타진해보고자 하였다. 유기실리콘 화합물 원료인 TEMSM(bis-trimethysilylmethane)을 사용하여 실리콘 기판위에 단결정 $eta$-Sic 박막을 증착하였다. 기판의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 $\beta$-Sic 박막의 두께가 $1.5mu extrm{m}$ 이상인 시편을 사용하였다. 전극으로는 Pt를 사용하였으며, 전극 증착은 DC magnetron sputter를 이용하였다. 전기적인 특성을 분석하기 위하여 전류-전압, 커패시턴스-전압 특성을 분석하였고, XRD와 AES를 이용하여 계면에서의 반응을 알아보았다. Hall 측정 결과 모든 $\beta$-Sic 박막은 약 2$\times$1018cm-3 정도의 도핑 농도를 갖는 n형 탄화규소임을 확인하였다. Pt/$\beta$-Sic 접촉은 열처리 전에는 ohmic 접촉 특성을 보였으나 열처리 후에는 Schottky 접촉의 특성을 나타냈다. 전기적 특성 분석을 통하여 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 에너지 장벽의 높이가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상적인 Pt/$\beta$-Sic 접촉의 특성을 보이는 것은 전극 증착시 sputtering에 의하여 계면에 발생한 결함이 도너의 역할을 하여 에너지 장벽의 두께를 감소시켜 tunneling을 촉진하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 열처리 후 접촉 특성이 변화하는 것은 이러한 결함들의 소멸 때문으로 생각된다. AES 분석을 통하여 열처리시 Pt가 $\beta$-Sic 내부로 확산하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이 때 Pt가 $\beta$-Sic 와 반응하여 계면에 실리사이드가 형성됨으로써 Pt/$\beta$-Sic 계면이 보다 안정한 탄화규소 박막 내부로 이동하게 되고 계면의 결함 농도가 줄어드는 것이 접촉 특성 변화의 원인이라 할 수 있다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 계면이 점점 $\beta$-Sic 내부로 이동하여 결함농도가 낮아지기 때문에 tunneling 효과가 감소하여 에너지 장벽이 높아지게 된다. Pt를 ohmic 접촉과 Schottky 접촉 전극물질로 이용하여 제작한 Schottky 다이오드는 ohmic 접촉 형성시 Schottky 접촉에 발생하는 wputtering 손상에 의하여 좋은 정류특성을 얻지 못하였다. 따라서 chmic 접촉 전에 Schottky 접촉의 passivation이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, spent mushroom substrate (SMS), which consits of lignocellulosic material, was pretreated by hydrothermal method; the changes of biodegradability and methane production yield of pretreated SMS were determined according to formation of lignocellulosic biomass degrading byproducts formation during thermal pretreatment. Based on the results, all hydrothermal pretreatment temperatures showed improved solubilization performance for biomass, and the optimum pretreatment effect was observed at an pretreatment temperature of 150℃ with the highest methane production yield. However, the induced formation of furan derivatives (i.e., 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural) as byproducts during hydrolysis of hemicellulose and cellulose at severe condition lowered biodegradability and methane yield when the hydrothermal pretreatment temperature was higher than 180℃. Thus, this study revealed that hydrothermal pretreatment could promote anaerobic digestion efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass and is of great importance for preventing byproducts formation through pretreatment condition control.

선박을 통한 해상수송은 세계 무역의 80% 이상을 차지하고 있으며, 대부분의 선박은 저질중유의 연소로부터 추진력을 발생시키는 디젤 엔진을 원동력으로 사용하고 있다. 이러한 디젤 엔진은 연소의 부산물로 매년 백만 톤 이상의 오염물질을 방출하는데, 그 주성분은 탄소로 이루어져 있고 고온 열분해 또는 압축 점화 엔진의 작동 부산물들이 소량 포함되어 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선박으로부터 배출된 폐 수트를 리튬이온전지용 도전재로 활용하기 위한 독특한 방법이 제안되었다. 실험에 사용된 폐 수트는 운항중인 컨테이너선으로부터 수집되었으며, 수집된 폐 수트는 탄소 성분 이외의 불순물을 제거하고 흑연화 정도를 개선시키기 위해 $2,000^{\circ}C$로 열처리되었다. 열처리된 폐 수트의 모폴로지를 확인하기 위해 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 그 형상을 관찰하였으며, 이를 통해 폐 수트의 일차 입자는 지름이 약 70-100 nm 정도인 양파껍질 모양의 탄소(carbon nano-onion)로 형성된다는 것이 확인되었다. 또한, XRD, RAMAN 분광법 및 BET 분석 결과를 통해, 열처리된 폐 수트가 결정성이 있는 흑연으로 재형성되었으며 비표면적은 일반적으로 사용되는 활물질에 비해 약간 더 높다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 이러한 특성은 리튬이온전지용 도전재로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었고, 이는 전기화학적 정전류 충전 및 방전 테스트를 통해 그 성능이 확인되었다. 일반적으로 사용되는 도전재의 테스트 결과와 폐 수트를 도전재로 사용한 테스트 결과를 Fig. 1에 나타내었다. 이상의 실험 결과들을 미루어 볼 때, 선박으로부터 배출된 폐 수트가 리튬전지용 음극 활물질 및 도전재로 재활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The storage life of satsuma mandarin(Citrus unshiu Marc. var. miyagawa) by the various pretreatment of temperatures; non-treated, room temperature, $10,\;20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The pretreated citrus fruits were stored at $4^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity. Weight loss of citrus fruits by the pretreatment at $35^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs was the lowest among that of others. Decay ratio of $35^{\circ}C$ pretreated fruits was increased at initial stages of storage, but was maintained low level after that, compared to other treatments. After 115 days storage, firmness of fruits was lowered by the softening, and decayed fruits were occurred increasingly. Ethylene evolution was increased between $55{\sim}65$ days after storage, and the amount was increasing rapidly after 115 days. It seemed to be derived from decayed fruits and physiological activities. $CO_2$ content in fruit was decreased at initial stages of storage, but was increased between $55{\sim}100$ days during storage periods. Acid content, soluble solids, total sugar and vitamin C were reduced gradually during cold storage, but the difference among treatments was not so great. Pretreated fruits at $35^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs before cold storage was effective on preventing from weight loss and respiration ratio. Optimum storage period of early variety of Satuma mandarin was regarded for 100 days on the basis of appeareance and taste.

Seed disinfection is a necessary process to decrease Bakanae disease in rice and is carried out at 30℃ to increase disinfection efficiency. However, the length of sprout after seed disinfection is not suitable for sowing, so additional processes such as seed soaking is needed. For this reason, this study was conducted to develop the efficient and effective seed disinfection method. When the seed disinfection finished after soaking seeds in cold water for 2 days, length of sprout was about 1.0 mm and sowing can be done without additional processes. In addition, the incidence of Bakanae disease was greatly reduced by 64% compared to conventional method. In order to find out why the newly developed method (disinfection after soaking) is more efficient than conventional method, soaked and not soaked seeds were stained using methylene blue staining. It was found that soaked seeds were more easily stained with about 50% of internal and external endosperm stained. Therefore, pesticide can be absorbed easily into internal endosperm of soaked seeds and efficiently destroy the spore of pathogen. As a results of this study, newly developed method will be useful as it can improve efficiency of agricultural work and also effectively decrease Bakanae disease compared to conventional method.

일본 연구에서는 열충격 시험을 통한 태양전지의 파괴모드에 따른 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 시편은 Photovoltaic Module을 만들기 전 3 line Ribbon을 Tabbing한 단결정 Solar Cell을 제작하였다. 열충격 시험 Test 1의 온도조건은 저온 $-40^{\circ}C$, 고온 $85^{\circ}C$, Test 2는 저온 $-40^{\circ}C$, 고온 $120^{\circ}C$에서 Ramping Time을 포함하여 각각 15분씩, 총 30분을 1사이클로 500사이클을 각각의 조건으로 수행하였다. 열충격 시험 후 Test 1에서는 4.0%의 효율 감소율과 1.5%의 Fill Factor 감소율을 확인하였으며, Test 2에서는 24.5%의 효율 감소율과 11.8%의 Fill Factor 감소율을 확인하였다. EL(Electroluminescence)촬영 및 단면을 분석한 결과, Test 1과 Test 2 시편 모두 Cell 표면 및 내부에서의 Crack이 발견되었다. 하지만, Test 2의 시험이 Test 1보다 가혹한 온도조건의 시험으로 인해 Test 1에서 나타나지 않았던, Cell 파괴를 Test 2에서 확인하였다. 결국, Test 1에서 효율의 직접적인 감소 원인은 Cell 내부에서의 Crack이며, Test 2에서는 Cell 내부에서의 Crack 및 Cell 파괴로 인한 Cell 자체의 성능저하로 효율이 크게 감소한다는 것을 본 실험을 통하여 규명하였다.

The development of high temperature-proton exchange fuel cell (HT-PEFC) is a key in solving the problem of carbon monoxide poisoning of the platinum at anode as well as water management in PEFCs operated below $90^{\circ}C$. In order to overcome these main issues, PEFCs must be operated at high temperature above $120^{\circ}C$. Ionic liquids are available for HT-PEFC due to exhibiting non-volatility and thermal stability. Ionic liquids are however leached out from polymeric matrix resulting in the increase of gas permeability. In this study, we have prepared and characterized the composite membranes with the ionic liquids consisting of 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-butyl imidazolium chloride immobilized by the cross-linkers in pore-filling membrane to prevent to be leached out from the membrane. We confirmed that cross-linked ionic liquids were not leached out from the composite membranes through the various characteristic analyses. It was also verified that the prepared membranes are thermally stable from the result of TG analysis. The pore-filling membranes with the immobilized ionic liquids have a high proton conductivity over $10^{-2}$ S/cm at high temperature (> $120^{\circ}C$).
