Biomass bamboo charcoal is utilized as anode for lithium-ion battery in an effort to find an alternative to conventional resources such as cokes and petroleum pitches. The amorphous phase of the bamboo charcoal is partially converted to graphite through a low temperature graphitization process with iron oxide nanoparticle catalyst impregnated into the bamboo charcoal. An optimum catalysis amount for the graphitization is determined based on the characterization results of TEM, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD. It is found that the graphitization occurs surrounding the surface of the catalysis, and large pores are formed after the removal of the catalysis. The formation of the large pores increases the pore volume and, as a result, reduces the surface area of the graphitized bamboo charcoal. The partial graphitization of the pristine bamboo charcoal improves the discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency compared to the pristine counterpart. However, the discharge capacity of the graphitized charcoal at elevated current density is decreased due to the reduced surface area. These results indicate that the size of the catalysis formed in in-situ graphitization is a critical parameter to determine the battery performance and thus should be tuned as small as one of the pristine charcoal to retain the surface area and eventually improve the discharge capacity at high current density.

흑연(graphite), 석탄(coal), 숯(char), soot(검댕이) 등의 탄소로 이루어진 재료들은 비정질부터 완전한 흑연결정까지 다양한 구조를 나타낸다. 이러한 탄소재료의 구조의 출발물질 뿐 아니라 열처리에 따라 강한 영향을 받는다 이러한 구조는 여러 구조인자에 의해 특성화되는데, 구조인자로는 층간거리 d, 결정립 크기 Lc 그리고 결정립 직경 La이다. 이런 구조 인자의 지식은 흑연화, 탄소화, 가스화 등과 같은 다양한 공정을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다. 많은 연구자들은 XRD, Raman 분광, 고분해능 TEM 등과 같은 여러 기술을 통하여 이러한 구조인자에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 그 중 XRD는 정량적 분석에 있어서 가장 많이 이용되는 기술이다. XRD 회절피크의 위치로부터 층간거리 d를 구할 수 있으며, 결정립 크기 Lc 및 결정립 직경 La는 피크의 line 퍼짐(반가폭)으로 직접 구할 수 있다. 한편 섬유상 흡착제로 이용되는 등방성 탄소섬유는 이산화탄소 또는 수증기에 의해 쉽게 활성화되어 최고 약 2,500 $m^2$/g의 고 비 표면적을 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 활성화 후 고 비표면적을 나타내는 이유는 좁은 분포를 나타내는 미세기공의 기공구조 때문에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

Two needle cokes (NC-A and NC-B) that differ in both the texture and impurity content to each other were graphitized at $2000-3000{\circ}C$, and the average particle size, size distribution and surface area were compared after milling. Their anodic properties in Li secondary batteries were also analyzed. Two materials showed a higher degree of graphitization with an increase in the preparation temperature, however, the NC-B series was less graphitized than NC-A due to the presence of impurities and less ordered mosaic texture. The mein particle size of the milled powder was proportional to the degree of graphitization, but the surface area showed the opposite trend. The highly graphitized materials yielded powders of lower uniformity in the size distribution. The discharge capacity of the resulting carbons steadily decreased in the temperature range of 1000 to $2000^{\circ}C$ due to the depletion of carbonaceous interlayers that contain crystal defects. A later increase in the discharge capacity was observed at $>2000^{\circ}C$, which arises from the formation of graphitic interlayers. The milling process gave rise to a sloping discharge curve at >1.0 V, but this was converted to a plateau at <0.25V after a repeated cycling or additional heat-treatment at $1000^{\circ}C$. The discharge at >1.0V likely comes from the disordered surface structure formed during the milling process. The evolution of a plateau at <0.25 V suggests that this disordered structure transforms to a more ordered graphitic one upon a cell cycling or heat-treatment.

이 연구에서는 대동층군 탄질 점판암내에 산출하는 탄질물의 미세구조를 고분해능 투과전자현미경(HRTEM)을 이용하여 조사하였다. 관찰된 탄질물은 구조가 부분적으로 흑연화된 흑연화과정의 초기단계 물질로서$ 100\AA$ 이하의 매우 얇은 크기로 일라이트 결정들의 경계면 사이나 일라이트 결정내에 협재되어 나타난다. 탄질물의 층상구조는 휘어있거나 불연속적이며, 부분적으로 원형조직을 보이는 "지문" 조직을 이루고 있다. 이러한 특징은 많은 결함구조를 가지고 구조적으로 충분히 흑연화되지 않은 물질에서 볼 수 있는 전형적인 구조다. 미세한 규모로 협재된 조직을 보이는 탄질물은 퇴적물의 속성작용과 저변성작용시 일라이트가 성장하는 동안에 포획되었거나, 또는 일라이트 이전의 점토광물내에 흡착되었던 물질들로부터 유래된 것으로 보인다. 이처럼 탄질물과 일라이트가 미세한 규모로 협재되어 산출하는 특징은 저변성암에서 일어나는 흑연화작용시 복잡한 미세구조의 변화가 수반되었음을 지시한다. 다양한 미세구조를 보여주는 흑연질 물질의 산출은 탄질물이 고온에서 균질한 흑연으로 생성되기까지 불연속적인 단계를 거쳐 반응할 가능성을 지시한다. 끝으로, 이 연구는 이온 빔을 이용하여 제작한 시료를 관찰함으로써 암석내에 함유된 탄질물들의 조직을 훼손하지 않고 관찰할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Although the problems of defects and nonmetallic inclusion in metal fatigue are very complicated, it is particularly important to view these problems from the perspective that defects and inclusions are virtually equivalent to small cracks. This concept will help one to understand various fatigue phenomena caused by Ductile Cast Iron. For different ferrite-pearlite matrix structure, containing more than 90% spheroidal ratio of graphite, GCD 45-3, GCD 50, GCD 60 series and 70%, 80%, 90% spheroidal ratio of graphite, GCD 40, GCD 45-1, GCD 45-2 series, this paper has carried out image analyzer, estimated maximum and mean size of graphite, investigated correlation. It was concluded as follows. (1) A good quality of Ductile cast iron using in this experiment, the graphite was separated well. The effect of the interaction by graphite was verified by microscopic observation and by fracture mechanics investigation in surface, interior of the specimen. (2)${\sqrt{area}}_{max}$ of graphite can be used to predict fatigue limit of Ductile Cast Iron. The Statistical distribution of extreme values of ${\sqrt{area}}$ may be used as a guide line for the control of inclusion size in the steel making processes.

Graphite is commonly used for rocket nozzle. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate compression fracture behavior of ATJ graphite. Uniaxial compression test is conducted in accordance with ASTM C 695 in the range of R.T to $900^{\circ}C$. The size effects of specimen on the compressive strength and fracture behavior were investigated. Two types of cylindrical specimen, i.e., where the diameter to length ratio is 1:2 (ASTM C 695 specimen) or 1:1, were tested at room temperature.

In this study, PAN(polyacrylonitrile)-based precursor fibers were produced through a wet-spinning process, and their morphologies and graphitization behavior were investigated in the presence of two graphitization catalysts (Ca, Ni). The graphitization catalysts were introduced into the formed pores during hot-water stretching of wet-spun PAN-based precursor fibers. The catalytic effects of graphitization catalysts were examined through crystal structure and Raman analysis. At a relatively low temperature of 1500℃, the graphitization was not significantly affected, whereas at a high temperature of 2400℃, the obtained I_D/I_G value of graphite fiber (GF-Ni100) was decreased by about twice (~0.28) compared to the untreated fibers (GF-AS~0.54). By comparing the I_D/I_G values (GF-Ca100~0.42: GF-Ni100~0.28) of Ca and Ni graphitization catalyst, it was found that the degree of graphitization of Ni graphitization catalyst showed higher influence than that of Ca graphitization catalyst. Moreover, 2D band was also observed, indicating that the graphite plane structures composed of multiple layers were developed. XRD results confirmed that the crystal inter-planar distance (d₀₀₂) of the graphite crystal was slightly decreased after the treatment with the graphitization catalyst, But, the crystal size of Ca-treated graphite fiber (GF-Ca100) was increased by up to ~5 nm.

The formation of the graphite spherulites has been studied experimentally in the Ni-C liquid under high pressure and temperature. In the diamond-stable region the graphite spherulites were formed and grew stably. They were not the polycrystalline particles but the single crystals of the fullerene-type, respectively, grown spirally with much imperfection. And they were proved to be in a mixture state of carbon atoms with $sp^2$- and $sp^3$-bonding by an Auger electron spectroscope and a high resolution transmission electron microscope. As the pressure decreased from the diamond-stable region to the graphite-stable region, the shape of the graphite particles changed gradually from the sphere to the flaky shape. The formation of the graphite spherulites was attributed to the stable existence of the carbon atoms with $sp^3$ bonding in the diamond-stable region. The formation of the large fullerene-type graphite spherulites with much imperfection is well agreed with Kroto's prediction for growth of the giant fullerene.
