In situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (ECAFM) observations of the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was performed before and after cyclic voltammetry in lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) dissolved in 1-buthyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium (BDMI)-TFSI to understand the interfacial reactions between graphite and BDMI-based ionic liquids. The formation of blisters and the exfoliation of graphene layers by the intercalation of $BDMI^+$ cations within HOPG were observed instead of reversible lithium intercalation and de-intercalation. On the other hand, lithium ions are reversibly intercalated into the HOPG and de-intercalatied from the HOPG without intercalation of the $BDMI^+$ cations in the presence of 15 wt% of 4.90 mol/$kg^{-1}$ LiTFSI dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC). ECAFM results revealed that the concentrated PC-based solution is a very effective additive for preventing $BDMI^+$ intercalation through the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI).

In this study, to improve the interfacial bond strength of cast iron-aluminum dissimilar materials, graphite was removed to a certain depth from the cast iron surface through de-graphitization heat treatment. As the heat treatment time increased, the depth at which graphite was removed increased, showing a linear relationship between the heat treatment time and depth. Aluminum was filled to a certain depth on the de-graphitized cast iron surface through die-casting method, and no intermetallic compounds were formed on the cast iron-aluminum interface. The interfacial bonding strength showed a value of 90 MPa regardless of the heat treatment time, which is very high compared to the 12MPa bonding strength of the material without de-graphitization heat treatment. This result is thought to be due to the mechanical bonding of the undercut structure as the liquid aluminum, penetrated by the high pressure die-casting process, solidified in the de-graphitized region of the cast iron.

일방향 응고법을 이용하여 텔루리움(Te)이 Fe-C-Si 합금 즉 주철의 응고시 흑연의 형태에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. Te이 산소와의 반응성향이 큼을 감안하여 수소 및 아르곤으로 응고분위기를 조절함으로써 각각의 분위기에서 나타나는 Te의 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 아르곤 분위기에 비하여 수소분위기에서 Te의 효과가 현저하였으며, 이것은 수소가 산소의 영향력을 억제하여 Te의 산화를 방지함에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. 수소 분위기 하에서 Te의 효과가 극대화되었을 경우 희주철 조직은 응고속도가 극히 낮은 때에만 얻어졌으며, 미세한 편상(片狀)흑연이 평면형 응고선단을 형성하며 열전달이 일어나는 반대 방향을 따라 성장함으로써 지금까지 볼 수 없었던 독특한 조직이 관찰되었다.

일반 산업 및 원자력 관련 산업용 구조소재의 표면특성 향상을 위해 저압 화학기상 증착법에 의해 15~25cm 직경의 흑연기판 위에 고순도의 치밀한 SiC 증착층을 제조하였다. 미세구조와 두께가 균일한 증착층을 얻기 위하여 증착온도의 균일성, 반응가스 고갈효과, 가스 흐름 형태 등의 영향을 고려하였다. 이중에서 반응 용기내의 가스 흐름 형태가 증착층의 균일도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되었으며 가스 주입구의 위치와 크기를 조정함으로써 25cm의 직경을 갖는 흑연 기판에 두께 편차가 $\pm$12% 이내인 SiC 증착막을 제조할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigate the electrochemical performance of lithium terephthalate (LTA) battery using graphite coated metal current collector to overcome the disadvantages of organic batteries which is high interfacial resistance between current collector and electrode. The LTA anode material is synthesized by acid-based ion exchange reaction without impurities. The contact properties between stick-type LTA-based electrode and graphite coated current collector are estimated by the cross-section SEM and EIS. The graphite coated current collector significantly reduced the interfacial resistance of the LTA battery. The second discharge capacities of bare current collector LTA and graphite coated current collector LTA batteries are 107.6 mAh/g and 148.8 mAh/g at 0.1C, respectively. The graphite coated current collector LTA batteries show higher cycle life, higher discharge capacity, and higher rate-capability than bare LTA batteries.

K-SGICs(synthetic graphite intercalation compounds) were synthesized in a modified two-bulb pyrex tube. The pressure in the two-bulb tube was maintained at approximately $10^{-3}$ torr for the reaction of potassium and graphite. Deintercalation process of the K-SGlCs obtained by the modified method was heat-treated by keeping in liquid paraffin between $25^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$. The thermal stability and the temperature dependence of the K-SGICs were characterized using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analyzer. Enthalpy and entropy for K-SGIC formations were calculated by confirming the deintercalation and thermodynamic exothermic reactions depending on the various temperatures. The structure changes and thermal stability of K-SGICs during the deintercalation reaction of potassium ions and the interlayer spaces of the synthetic graphite were identified by X-ray diffraction(XRD).

The effects of density and pore size distribution of substrate in preparing SiC conversiton layer on graphite substrate were investigated. The chemical reaction for formation of SiC conversion layer was occurred at substrate surface or below surface through SiC gas infiltration. It was supposed that the pore size distribution required for the sufficient SiO gas infiltration and the continuous chemical reaction during conversion process was in the range of 1.0∼10.0$\mu\textrm{m}$. In the stress analysis of SiC layer with finite element method (FEM), the residual stress distribution due to thermal mismatch was shown. However, the compressive stress was measured in SiC layer by X-ray diffraction, it was presumed that the residual stress distribution of SiC layer was mainly influenced by the constraining effect of interlayer between SiC layer and graphite substrate, and the densification behaviro and the grain growth in SiC conversion layer.
