Energy storage systems should address issues such as power fluctuations and rapid charge-discharge; to meet this requirement, CoFe₂O₄ (CFO) spinel nanoparticles with a suitable electrical conductivity and various redox states are synthesized and used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. In particular, CFO electrodes combined with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can provide long-term cycling stability by fabricating binder-free three-dimensional electrodes. In this study, CFO-decorated CNFs are prepared by electrospinning and a low-cost hydrothermal method. The effects of heat treatment, such as the activation of CNFs (ACNFs) and calcination of CFO-decorated CNFs (C-CFO/ACNFs), are investigated. The C-CFO/ACNF electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 142.9 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and superior rate capability of 77.6% capacitance retention at a high scan rate of 500 mV/s. This electrode also achieves the lowest charge transfer resistance of 0.0063 Ω and excellent cycling stability (93.5% retention after 5,000 cycles) because of the improved ion conductivity by pathway formation and structural stability. The results of our work are expected to open a new route for manufacturing hybrid capacitor electrodes containing the C-CFO/ACNF electrode that can be easily prepared with a low-cost and simple process with enhanced electrochemical performance.

MnO₂를 KMnO₄와 MnCl₂･4H₂O을 이용해 자연침전을 유도한 후, 수열방법으로 120-200 ℃, 0.5-5시간 범위에서 제조하여 300 ℃에서 열처리 후 CO 산화반응을 수행하였다. 촉매활성 원인의 규명과 물리화학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 X 선 회절 분석, 질소 흡착, 주사전자현미경, 수소 또는 일산화탄소 승온환원 분석(H₂- 또는 CO-TPR)을 실시하였다. 합성조건에 따라 순수한 α-MnO₂ 혹은 α/β-혼합상을 가진 MnO₂가 각각 합성되었다. 촉매활성과 안정성은 순수한 α-MnO₂ 상에서 α/β-혼합상을 가진 MnO₂보다 우수하게 관찰되었다. 특히, 150 ℃에서 1시간 수열 합성된 촉매는 가장 큰 비표면적인 214 m² g^-1을 가졌으며 H₂, CO-TPR 분석에서 가장 우수한 환원성과 격자산소 종의 활성을 보였으며 일산화탄소의 승온 및 등온 산화반응에서 가장 우수한 촉매활성을 나타내었다. 이것은 촉매의 물리화학적 특성에 기인한 것으로 촉매의 결정구조, 비표면적, 환원성 및 격자산소 종의 활성은 촉매활성과 깊은 상관관계가 존재함을 확인하였다.

비정질 $SiO_2$와 $Al(OH)_3$를 출발물질로 이용하여 250$^{\circ}C$, $30kg/cm^2$의 조건에서 pH를 2${\sim}$9까지 변화시키면서 캐올리나이트를 수열합성하였다. 합성 캐올리나이트는 XRD, FT-IR, TG, DTA, 및 FE-SEM을 사용하여 광물학적 특성 분석을 실시하였으며, 이로부터 캐올리나이트 합성시 pH의 변화에 따른 영향력을 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 산성조건에서 중-저 결함도와 높은 열적 안정성을 갖는 양호한 캐올리나이트가 합성되었으며, 알카리성 조건에서는 결함이 많은 캐올리나이트가 합성되었다. 이러한 현상은 합성 캐올리나이트의 표면특성이 pH에 의존하기 때문인 것으로 보인다. FT-IR 분석결과, 반응용액의 알칼리도가 증가함에 따라 합성 캐올리나이트의 피크 강도와 분해도가 감소되었으며, TG-DTA 분석결과, 60-70$^{\circ}C$의 저온영역에서의 탈수현상에 의한 피크 강도 증가가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 pH의 증가에 따라 반응에 참여하지 못한 비정질 물질의 양이 증가하기 때문이며 FE-SEM 분석에 의해 확인되었다.

김해지역의 덕봉납석광상은 모암이 안산암질응회암과 안산암으로 구성된 백악기말기의 화산암류가 열수변질작용을 받아서 형성되었으며, 딕카이트와 엽납석이 주구성광물이다. 이 연구에서는 산출하는 광물의 특성과 모암의 열수변질작용을 규명하고, 광물과 열수용액 간의 반응관계를 통하여 광상의 성인을 밝히고자 한다. 암석 내의 화학적 특성을 보면 열수변질작용동안 알칼리원소와 실리카는 유동성을 보이나 알루미나는 비교적 유동성이 작다. 모암으로부터 실리카의 용탈과 알루미나의 부화로 인하여 납석광체가 형성되고, 외곽부로 이동된 실리카의 재침전이 규화대를 생성시켰음을 볼 수 있다. 딕카이트와 엽납석과 밀접히 수반되는 다량의 미정질의 석영은 실리카의 활동도가 증가함에 따라서 형성된 것으로 해석된다. Argillic 변질대에서는 열수용액의 실리카의 용해도가 증가하였고, 규화대에서는 온도와 pH가 저하되면서 그 용해도가 저하되었다. Argillic 변질대로부터 빠져나간 Si는 광상의 가장자리에 침전하여 규화대를 형성시켰다. 딕카이트가 다양한 범위의 결정도를 보여주는 것은 계내의 부분적인 상안정성의 변화를 시사한다. 이 연구에서 계산된 열역학 값에 따르면, $Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}-H_{2}O$ 계에서 엽납석-딕카이트 (카오리나이트)-다이아스포아-석영이 500 바에서 공존가능한 온도는 약 300 $^{\circ}C$이다. 광물조합과 기존실헙자료를 종합하면 주요 열수변질 시기의 온도는 최소한 270-300 $^{\circ}C$이며 $X_{CO_2}$는 0.025 미만으로 추정된다. 광물의 산상과 화학적 변화양상에 따르면 Al의 활동도는 광상의 상부에, 그리고 Si의 활동도는 하부와 연변부에서 높음을 보여준다. 덕봉광상에서 흔히 관찰되는 비평형 상관계는 열역학적 변수와 용액운반특성의 국부적인 변화로 인하여 화학적으로 비평형인 상들이 여러 단계에 걸쳐 형성되었음을 지시한다.

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the stability of commercial coated lipase (CT-LIP) in vitro. Methods: The capsules were tested under different conditions with a range of temperature, pH, dry heat treatment and steaming treatment, simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) in this work, respectively. Free lipase (uncoated lipase, UC-LIP) was the control group. Lipase relative activities measured in various treatments were used as a reference frame to characterize the stability. Results: The lipase activities were decreased with increasing temperatures (p<0.05), and there was a markedly decline (p<0.01) in lipase comparative activities of UC-LIP at $80^{\circ}C$ compared with CT-LIP group. Higher relative activities of lipase were observed in CT-LIP group compared with the free one under acidic ambient (pH 3 to 7) and an alkaline medium (pH 8 to 12). Residual lipase activities of CT-LIP group were increased (p<0.05) by 5.67% and 35.60% in dry heat and hydrothermal treatments, respectively. The lipase relative activity profile of CT-LIP was raised at first and dropped subsequently (p<0.05) compared with constantly reduced tendency of UC-LIP exposed to both SGF and SIF. Conclusion: The results suggest that the CT-LIP possesses relatively higher stability in comparison with the UC-LIP in vitro. The CT-LIP could retain the potential property to provide sustained release of lipase and thus improved its bioavailability in the gastrointestinal tract.

The ZnO nanowire (NW)-based nanogenerators (NGs) can have rectifying current and potential generated by the coupled piezoelectric and semiconducting properties of ZnO by variety of external stimulation such as pushing, bending and stretching. So, ZnO NGs needed to enhance durability for stable properties of NGs. The durability of the metal electrodes used in the typical ZnO nanogenerators(NGs) is unstable for both electrical and mechanical stability. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as transparent flexible electrode but because of high cost and limited supply of indium, the fragility and lack of flexibility of ITO layers, alternatives are being sought. It is expected that carbon nanotube and Ag nanowire conductive coatings could be a prospective replacement. In this work, we demonstrated transparent flexible ZnO NGs by using CNT/Ag nanowire hybrid electrode, in which electrical and mechanical stability of top electrode has been improved. We grew vertical type ZnO NW by hydrothermal method and ZnO NW was coated with hybrid silicone coating solution as capping layer to enhance adhesion and durability of ZNW. We coated the CNT/Ag nanowire hybrid electrode by using bar coating system on a capping layer. Power generation of the ZnO NG is measured by using a picoammeter, a oscilloscope and confirmed surface condition with FE-SEM. As a results, the NGs using the CNT/Ag NW hybrid electrode show 75% transparency at wavelength 550 nm and small change of the resistance of the electrode after bending test. It will be discussed the effect of the improved flexibility of top electrode on power generation enhancement of ZnO NGs.

Tetragonal (t)-ZrO2/Al2O3 composites doped with Y2O3, Nb2O5, and Fe2O3 ((Y, Nb, Fe)-TZP/Al2O3) were prepared over the range containing Fe2O3 from 0.1 to 0.5 mol% with 0.1 mol% intervals to evaluate the effect of Fe2O3 addition on chromaticity, hydrothermal stability, and mechanical property of the composites. After autoclaving for 20 h at 18$0^{\circ}C$ under 3.5 MPa water vapor pressure, no tlongrightarrowm phase transformation was observed probably due to the preferential solid solubility of Fe2O3 in Al2O3, the presence of the rigid Al2O3 particles, and the inherent phase stability of (Y, Nb)-TZP. The optimized strength and the fracture toughness of the composite were 700 MPa and 8.5 MPa.m1/2, respectively, when 0.1 mol% Fe2O3 was added. The composites have shown a gradual color change from a slightly white ivory to a pale yellowish brown with increasing the Fe2O3 concentration.

Sodium ion batteries based on the more sodium source reserve than that of lithium have been designed as promising alternatives to lithium ion batteries. However, several problems including unsatisfied specific capacity and serious cyclic stability must be solved before the reality. One of the effective approaches to solve the abovementioned problems is to search for suitable anode materials. In this work, we designed and prepared $FeSe_2$ nanoflakes via a simple hydrothermal method which can be adjusted in composition by Fe precursor. As a potential anode for sodium storage, the optimized $FeSe_2$ electrode was further evaluated in different electrolytes of $NaClO_4$ in propylene carbonate/fluoroethylene carbonate and $NaCF_3SO_3$ in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The capacity was about $470mAh\;g^{-1}$ and $535mAh\;g^{-1}$ at $0.5A\;g^{-1}$, respectively, in the voltage between 0.5 V and 2.9 V in the cycle of stabilization phase. Superior performance both in capacity and in stability was obtained in ether-based electrolyte, which affords the property without plugging the intermediates of transition metal dichalcogenides during charge/discharge processes.

A series of carbon nanotube, $C_{60}$, and graphene modified $TiO_2$ nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, $N_2$ adsorption, UV-Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Electrochemical impedance spectra were used to characterize the prepared composite materials The results reveal that incorporating $TiO_2$ with carbon materials can extend the adsorption edge of all the $TiO_2$-carbon nanocomposites to the visible light region. The photocatalytic activities were tested in the degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) under visible light. No obvious difference in essence was observed in structural and optical properties among three series of carbon modified $TiO_2$ nanocomposites. Three series of carbon materials modified $TiO_2$ composites follow the analogous tentative reaction mechanism for TCP degradation. GR modified $TiO_2$ nanocomposite exhibits the strongest interaction and the most effective interfacial charge transfer among three carbon materials, thus shows the highest electron-hole separation rate, leading to the highest photocatalytic activity and stability.
