The lithium ion battery has applied to various fields of energy storage systems such as electric vehicle and potable electronic devices in terms of high energy density and long-life cycle. Despite of various research on the electrode and electrolyte materials, there is a lack of research for investigating of the binding materials to replace polymer based binder. In this study, we have investigated petroleum pitch/polymer composite with various ratios between petroleum pitch and polymer in order to optimize the electrochemical and physical performance of the lithium-ion battery based on petroleum pitch/polymer composite binder. The electrochemical and physical performances of the petroleum pitch/polymer composite binder based lithium-ion battery were evaluated by using a charge/discharge test, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and universal testing machine (UTM). As a result, the petroleum pitch(MP-50)/polymer(PVDF) composite (5:5 wt % ratio) binder based lithium-ion battery showed 1.29 gf mm^-1 of adhesion strength with 144 mAh g^-1 of specific dis-charge capacity and 93.1 % of initial coulombic efficiency(ICE) value.

In order to optimize the performance of a lithium-ion battery, a performance prediction modeling technique that considers various degradation factors is required. In this work, mathematical modeling was carried-out to predict the change in discharging behavior and cycle life, taking into account the cycle aging of lithium-ion batteries. In order to validate the modeling, a cycling test was performed at the charge/discharge rate of 0.25C, and discharging behavior was measured through RPT (Reference Performance Test) performed at 30 cycle intervals. The accuracy of cycle life prediction was improved by considering the break-in mechanism, one of the phenomena occurring in the BOL (beginning of life), in the model for predicting the cycle life of lithium-ion batteries. The predicted change in cycle life based on the model was in good agreement with the experimental results.

TiN films were deposited onto Stellite 6B alloy (Co base) by the reactive magnetron sputter ion plating. As the bias increases, TiN film changes from columnar structure to dense structure with great hardness and smooth surface due to densification and resputtering by ion bombardment. The content of oxygen and carbon impurities in the TiN film decreases greatly when the substrate bias is applied. The preferred orientation of the TiN films changes from (200) to (111) with decreasing $N_2$/Ar ratio, and from (200) to (111) and then (220) with increasing the substrate bias. The change of the preferred orientation is discussed in terms of surface energy and strain energy which are related to the impurity contents and the ion bombardment damage. The hardness of the TiN film increases with increasing compressive stress generated in the film by virtue of ion bombardment. It becomes as high as up to 3500kgf/mm$^2$ when an appropriate substrate bias is applied.

The electrical properties of bulk galsses in the system Na$_{2}$O-CaO-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$-B$_{2}$O$_{3}$-SiO$_{2}$ containing 20 to 30mol% sodium which have been subjected to a sodium .tautm. silver ion exchange reaction for 24, 36 and 48 hrs. were analysed by impedance spectroscopy method. Ion exchanged glasses exhibit activation energy values lower than those of the untreated ones. The electrical conductivity increase with sodium content and ion exchanging time. In this experiment the electrical conductivity exhibits a manximum value of 1.78*10$^{-4}$ S/cm at 200.deg. C which contains 30mol% sodium and subjects ion exchange reaction for 48hrs.

Microelectronic fabrication technology .is based on the use of lithsgraphy to create small linewidths and patterns that make up ULSI. In previous papers, we discussed the theoretically calculated values such as ion range, ion concentration,ion transmission coefficient and the defocused ion beam-induced characteristics in a-Se$_{75}$Ge$_{25}$. In this paper, the typical Monte Carlo (MC) simulation results and p개cedures for the focused ion beam lithography were presented. The interaction and scattering of ions with the resist depend on the beam energy, impact parameter arid resist parameters. For ion exposure simulations, the quantity of interest is the spatial distribution of energy deposited by ions in the resist due to interaction phenomena with resist ions.s.s.

This letter focuses on the liquid crystal alignment characteristics according to the properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) thin film deposited by RPECVD(Remote Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using $C_2H_2$ and He gases. The properties of the deposited thin films were controlled by the ion beam irradiation time and ion beam energy. The results show that not ion beam energy but ion beam irradiation time plays an important role in the properties of a-G:H thin films. As the ion beam irradiation time increases, not only the sp2 concentration in a-G:H thin films but also liquid crystal pretilt angle was varied.

We studied homeotropic alignment effect for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on the $SiO_x$, thin film irradiated by the new ion beam method $SiO_x$ thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and were treated by the DuoPIGatron ion source. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect was achieved over 2100 eV ion beam energy. Tilt angle were about $90^{\circ}$ and were not affected by various ion beam energy.

Advanced polymeric binders with unique functions such as improvements in the electronic conduction network, mechanical adhesion, and mechanical durability during cycling have recently gained an increasing amount of attention as a promising means of creating high-performance silicon (Si) anodes in lithium-ion batteries with high energy density levels. In this review, we describe the key challenges of Si anodes, particularly highlighting the recent progress in the area of polymeric binders for Si anodes in cells.

In this study, a convenient method for the selective immobilization of single strand DNA (ssDNA) on a polymer surface was described. A positively charged polyelectrolyte, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), was spin-coated on a tissue culture petridish and the micropatterns of the PDDA were formed by selective ion implantation through a pattern mask. The surface property of the implanted PDDA was investigated by using a surface profiler and FT-IR spectrometer. Cy3-labeled ssDNA was selectively immobilized on the PDDA patterns through ionic interaction and thus, well-defined ssDNA patterns were obtained.

Here, we report on nanocrystalline Si-Al-M (M = Fe, Cu, Ni, Zr) alloys for use as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, which were fabricated via a melt-spinning method. Based on the XRD and TEM analyses, it was found that the Si-Al-M alloys consist of nanocrystalline Si grains surrounded by an amorphous matrix phase. Among the Si-Al-M alloys with different metal composition, Ni-incorporated Si-Al-M alloy electrode retained the high discharge capacity of 2492 mAh/g and exhibited improved cyclability. The superior $Li^+$ storage performance of Si-Al-M alloy with Ni component is mainly responsible for the incorporated Ni, which induces the formation of ductile and conductive inactive matrix with crystalline Al phase, in addition to the grain size reduction of active Si phase.
