Carbon nanotube (CNT) cathodes were fabricated using nano-sized silver powders as a bonding material. The effects of powder size on the field emission properties for the CNT cathode were investigated The better emission properties of CNT cathodes using smaller particles are due to a low sintering temperature of the bonding materials.

$TiO_2$ nanoparticles (NPs) with a diameter of 100 nm were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal route at $220^{\circ}C$ and then processed for a possible alternate cathode catalyst material in the lithium-oxygen batteries. It was found that when $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were utilized as cathodes, substantial improvements in the discharge capacity, cycle ability, rate capability and low overpotential were observed. This can be attributed to its high catalytic activity and large surface area.

This paper treats A.C. arc movement in a transverse A.C. magnetic field at atmospheric pressure with the purpose of selecting electrode materials and obtaining detailed data for design of A.C. air circuit breaker, plasma accelerator and plasma jet. Arc velocities in transverse magnetic field are measured by varying arc current, arc voltage, gap length, magnetic flux density and the erosion of electrode surface, which influence arc velocities. The main results are; 1)Arc velocities in transverse magnetic field have different values according to electrodes of various materials and decrease in a descending order of cold cathode, medium cathode and hot cathode. 2)Arc velocities in transverse magnetic field increases with arc current, arc voltage, gap length and magnetic flux densith and on the other hand decrease with the increase of electrode surface erosion. 3)D.C.arc velocity in D.C. magnetic field is higher than A.C. arc velocity in A.C. magnetic field of the same value.

The $LiFePO_4$ as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries was synthesized by the solid-state reaction using ballmiller and employed one step heat treatment at $650^{\circ}C$. The influence of the heating time on the structure, particle size and cycle performance was investigated. $LiFePO_4$ heated at $650^{\circ}C$ for 3 h exhibited higher discharge capacity of 140 mAh/g and excellent cycle performance.

Ni-rich layered material can be regarded as an one of the promising cathode for high-energy lithium ion batteries. In this paper, Ca-doped Ni-rich LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ cathode material is prepared to investigate the effect of Ca doping on the structural properties and electrochemical performances. In structural properties, there is no obvious difference between the two samples in terms of crystallinity or morphology. In electrochemical performances, the initial capacity and electrochemical behavior are almost identical, while the degree of capacity deterioration in long-term cycle performance is obviously different. This is because Ca doping can increase the bond dissociation energy and pathways for electrons and lithium ions.

A novel process to recover lithium and manganese oxides from a cathode material (LiMn₂O₄) of spent lithium-ion battery was attempted using thermal reaction with hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures. A hydrogen gas as a reducing agent was used with LiMn₂O₄ powder and it was found that separation of Li₂O and MnO was taken place at 1050℃. The powder after thermal process was washed away with distilled water and only lithium was dissolved in the water and manganese oxide powder left behind. It was noted that manganese oxide powder was found to be 98.20 wt.% and the lithium content in the solution was 1,928 ppm, respectively.

To improve the cycle performance LiM $n_2$ $O_4$as the cathode of 4V class lithium secondary batteries, the cathode properties of the cubic spinel phases LiM $g_{x}$ /M $n_{2-x}$/ $O_4$ synthesized at 80$0^{\circ}C$ were examined. All cathode material showed spinel phase based on cubic phase in X-ray diffraction however. other peaks gradually exhibited and became intense with the increase of x value in LiM $g_{x}$ /M $n_{2-x}$/ $O_4$. The cycle performance of the LiM $g_{x}$ /M $n_{2-x}$/ $O_4$was improved by the substitution of $Mg^{2+}$ for M $n^{3+}$ in the octahedral sites. Specially LiM $g_{0.1}$/M $n_{1.9}$ / $O_4$cathode materials showed the charge and discharge capacity of about 130~125mAh/g at first cycle and about 105mAh/g after 50th cycle. It is excellent than that of pure LiM $n_{2}$/ $O_4$ which 125mAh/g at first cycle 70mAh/g at 50th. In addition cathode material prepared at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 24hr and 42hr in the charge and discharge capapcity as well as the cycle stability.ility.y.y.

There are many application fields of electrical energy storage such as load shifting, integration with renewables, frequency or voltage supports, and so on. Especially, the frequency regulation is needed to stabilize the electric power system, and there have to be more than 1 GW as power reserve in Korea. Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials have been investigated as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries because of their higher discharge capacity and lower cost than lithium cobalt oxide. Nonetheless, most of them have been investigated using small coin cells, and therefore, there is a limit to understand the deterioration mode of Ni-rich layered oxides in commercial high energy Li-ion batteries. In this paper, the pouch-type 20 Ah-scale Li-ion full cells are fabricated using Ni-rich layered oxides as a cathode and graphite as an anode. Above all, two test conditions for the application of frequency regulation were established in order to examine the performances of cells. Then, the electrochemical performances of two types of Ni-rich layered oxides are compared, and the long-term performance and degradation mode of the cell using cathode material with high nickel contents among them were investigated in the frequency regulation conditions.

In this study, a membrane electrode assembly(MEA) composed of three electrodes(anode, cathode, and reference electrode) is designed to investigate the effects of methanol concentration on the overpotentials of anode and cathode in direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs). Using the three-electrode cell, in-situ analyses of the overpotentials are carried out during direct methanol fuel cell operation. It is demonstrated that the three-electrode cell can work effectively in transient state operating condition as well as in steady-state condition, and the anode and cathode exhibit different overpotential curves depending on the concentration of methanol used as fuel. Therefore, from the real-time separation of the anode and cathode overpotentials, it is possible to more clearly prove the methanol crossover effect, and it is expected that in-situ analysis using the three-electrode cell will provide an opportunity to obtain more diverse results in the area of fuel cell research.
