집속이온빔장치(FIB: Focused Ion Beam System)에 사용하는 액체금속이온원(LMIS: Liquid Metal Ion Source)은 고 전류밀도, 고 휘도, 낮은 에너지퍼짐 등 많은 장점이 있다. 집속이온빔장치는 주로 표면 분석, 집적 회로의 수정, 마스크 교정(Repair) 및 잘못된 부분의 분석(Failure Analysis) 등에 사용되고 있는데 최근에는 고 분해능의 이온빔 리소그래피와 이온 주입의 기술 및 미세가공 기술 등의 분야에 집중되고 있으며 이를 위해서는 집속이온빔장치의 수렴성(Convergence)을 개선해 나가는 것이 중요하다. 집속이온빔장치의 수렴성은 이온빔의 에너지 퍼짐(Energy Spread)과 각 분포(Angular Distribution)에 많은 영향을 받으며 에너지퍼짐 특성은 색수차에 직접적인 영향을 준다. 수렴성을 개선하기 위해 기존의 에미터(Emitter), 저장소(Reservoir), 추출극(Extractor)으로 제작된 액체금속이온원에 서프레서(Suppressor)라는 새로운 전극을 사용하여 이 전극의 유 무에 따른 각 분포의 변화에 대해 연구하였다.

HDBPDA ion exchange resin, {(4, 5) : (13, 14)-Dibenzo-6, 9, 12-trioxa-3, 15, 21, -triazabicyclo [15. 3. 1]heneicosa-(1, 17, 19)(18, 20, 21) triene ion exchange resin : HDBPDA ion exchange resin} had a capacity of 3.8meq/g dry resin. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions on HDBPDA and strongly acidic cation exchange resin, Dowex 50W-X8(200-400mesh) in water, and the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid were determined. Concentration of hydrochloric acid have almost not influenced on the distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions for the HDBPDA ion exchange resin, but generally the distribution coefficient slightly increased with decreasing concentration of hydrochloric acid. The distribution coefficients of metal ions in water are larger than those in various hydrochloric acid concentration. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions for the Dowex 50W-X8 ion exchange resin increased with decreasing hydrochloric acid concentration. Especially, the distribution coefficients of alkaline earth metal ions increased rapidly compared to those for alkali metal ions. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions on HDBPDA ion exchange resin increased in a linear manner with decreasing acid concentration, and the slope, d log Kd/d log $M_{HCl}$ is about -0.2. Of the distribution cofficients of alkali metal ions on Dowex 50W-X8, at range of moderate hydrochloric acid concentration, the slope is about -1, while the slope for alkaline earth metal ions is about -2. However, at very low hydrochloric acid concentration, the linear variation between distribution coefficient and acid concentration was not occurred, but the slope was deviated from above values at low acid concentration.

Smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries results in the production of metallic alloys in which reduced cobalt, nickel and copper coexist. In this study, we investigated the leaching of the metallic alloys containing the above three metals together with iron, manganese, and silicon. The mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent was employed, and the effect of the concentration thereof, the reaction time and temperature, and pulp density was investigated to accomplish the complete leaching of cobalt, nickel, and copper. The effect of the hydrogen peroxide concentration and pulp density on the leaching was prominent, compared to that of reaction time and temperature, especially in the range of 20 to 80℃. The complete leaching of the metals present in metallic alloys, except silicon, was accomplished using 2 M HCl and 5% H₂O₂ with a pulp density of 30 g/L for 150 min at 60℃.

The triazacrown compound, 1,7-dioxa-4,10,13-triazacyclopentadecane trihydrobromide salt (Na3O2-3HBr) was synthesized. And this compound was used to synthesize the new ion exchanger, which combined with Merrifield peptide resin. This new ion exchanger had a capacity of 3.2 meq/g dry resin. And the distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions on this ion exchanger in the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid were determined. The ion exchange behaviors of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in the various hydrochloric acid concentrations are, also, discussed.

The bipolar plates are not only the major part of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack in weight and volume, but also a significant contributor to the stack costs. Stainless steels are considered to be good candidates for bipolar plate materials of the PEMFC due to their low cost, high strength and easy machining, as well as corrosion resistance. In this paper, 316L stainless steel with and without nitrogen ion implantation were tested in simulated PEMFC environments for application as bipolar plates. The results showed that the nitride formed by nitrogen ion implantation contributed the decrease of the interfacial contact resistance without degradation of corrosion property. The combination of excellent properties indicated that nitrogen ion implanted stainless steel could be potential candidate materials as bipolar plates in PEMFC. Current efforts have focused on optimizing the condition of ion implantation.

Laser ablation ion trap mass spectrometry (LAITMS) was developed for the analysis of metal and ceramic samples. For this study, XeCl excimer laser (308 nm) was used for ablating the samples and ITMS was used as a detector. Samples were introduced from outside of a ring electrode and this way of sample introduction was very effective for solid samples when laser ablation was employed. Helium gas was used as a buffer gas, and its effect on sensitivity and some parameters (buffer gas pressure, ion storage time, and cut-off RF voltage) were studied. The optimized conditions were $1{\times}10^{-4}$ Torr of buffer gas pressure, 100 ms of ion storage time and $1150V_{p-p}$ of cut-off RF voltage. From that results, copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) metals were tested with LAITMS and the mass spectra of these pure metals were compared with the natural abundance of isotope ratio. We also examined ceramic samples ($Al_2O_3$, $ZrO_2$) and represented the result of elemental analysis.

The demand for electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries is continuously increasing. Recovery of valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries will be necessary in the future. This research investigated the effect of reaction temperature on the lithium recovery ratio from hydrogen reduction followed by water leaching from lithium-ion battery NCM-based cathode materials. As the reaction temperature increased, the weight loss ratio observed after initiation increased rapidly owing to hydrogen reduction of NiO and CoO; at the same time, the H₂O amount generated increased. Above 602 ℃, the anode materials Ni and Co were reduced and existed in the metallic phases. As the hydrogen reduction temperature was increased, the Li recovery ratio also increased; at 704 ℃ and above, the Li recovery ratio reached a maximum of approximately 92%. Therefore, it is expected that Li can be selectively recovered by hydrogen reduction as a waste lithium-ion battery pretreatment, and the residue can be reprocessed to efficiently separate and recover valuable metals.
