Increasing demand for portable and wireless electronic devices with high power and energy densities has inspired global research to investigate, in lieu of scarce rare-earth and expensive ruthenium oxide-like materials, abundant, cheap, easily producible, and chemically stable electrode materials. Several potential electrode materials, including carbon-based materials, metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, layered metal double hydroxides, metal nitrides, metal phosphides, and metal chlorides with above requirements, have been effectively and efficiently applied in electrochemical supercapacitor energy storage devices. The synthesis of self-grown, or in-situ, nanostructured electrode materials using chemical processes is well-known, wherein the base material itself produces the required phase of the product with a unique morphology, high surface area, and moderate electrical conductivity. This comprehensive review provides in-depth information on the use of self-grown electrode materials of different morphologies in electrochemical supercapacitor applications. The present limitations and future prospects, from an industrial application perspectives, of self-grown electrode materials in enhancing energy storage capacity are briefly elaborated.

Due to the serious air pollution problem, interest in eco-friendly vehicles is increasing. Solving the problem of pollution will necessitate the securing of high energy storage technology for batteries, the driving force of eco-friendly vehicles. The reason for the continuing interest in the transition metal oxide LiMO₂ as a cathode material with a layered structure is that lithium ions reveal high mobility in two-dimensional space. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effective intercalation and deintercalation pathways of Li⁺, which affect battery capacity, to understand the internal structure of the cathode particle and its effect on the electrochemical performance. In this study, for the cathode material, high nickel Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ precursor is synthesized by controlling the ammonia concentration. Thereafter, the shape of the primary particles of the precursor is investigated through SEM analysis; X-ray diffraction analysis is also performed. The electrochemical properties of LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ are evaluated after heat treatment.

Alloys of Fe-(5, 10, 15)Al and Fe-(10, 20, 30, 40)Cr were corroded at 700 and $800^{\circ}C$ for 70 hr in either atmospheric air or 1 atm of Ar+$1%SO_2$ gases. In these atmospheres, Fe-5Al and Fe-10Cr alloys displayed poor corrosion resistance. In atmospheric air, Fe-5Al alloys formed oxide nodules, while Fe-10Cr alloys formed thick scales and internal oxides. In Ar+$1%SO_2$ gases, Fe-5Al and Fe-10Cr alloys formed thick, nonadherent bi-layered scales, which grew primarily by the outward diffusion of Fe ions and inward diffusion of oxygen and sulfur ions. By contrast, in atmospheric air and Ar+$1%SO_2$ gases, Fe-(10, 15)Al and Fe-(20, 30, 40)Cr alloys displayed good corrosion resistance by forming $Al_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3$ layers on the surface, respectively.

In general, high temperature superconducting coated conductors have intermediary buffers layer consisting of seed, diffusion barrier and cap layers. Simplification of the oxide materials buffer architecture in the fabrication of high temperature superconducting coated conductors is required because the deposition of multi-layers buffer architecture leads to a longer manufacturing time and a higher cost process of coated conductors. Thus, single buffer layer deposition seems to be important for practical coated conductor manufacturing process. In this study, a single gradient layered buffer deposition process of YZO for low cost coated conductors has been tried using DC reactive sputtering technique. About several thick YZO gradient single buffer layers deposited by DC co-sputtering process were found to act as a diffusion layer.

The self-assembly of polymers can lead to supramolecular systems and is related to the their functions of material and life sciences. In this article, self-assembly of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, polymer micelles, and polymeric nanoparticles, and their biomedical applications are described. LB surfaces with a well-ordered and layered structure adhered more cells including platelet, hepatocyte, and fibroblast than the cast surfaces with microphase-separated domains. Extensive morphologic changes were observed in LB surface-adhered cells compared to the cast films. Amphiphilic block copolymers, consisting of poly(${\gamma}$-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) as the hydrophobic part and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) [or poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)] as the hydrophilic one, can self-assemble in water to form nanoparticles presumed to be composed of the hydrophilic shell and hydrophobic core. The release characteristics of hydrophobic drugs from these polymeric nanoparticles were dependent on the drug loading contents and chain length of the hydrophobic part of the copolymers. Achiral hydrophobic merocyanine dyes (MDs) were self-assembled in copolymeric nanoparticles, which provided a chiral microenvironment as red-shifted aggregates, and the circular dichroism (CD) of MD was induced in the self-assembled copolymeric nanoparticles.

The layered compounds vanadium disulfide($VS_2$) and vanadium dioxide($VO_2$) intercalated with Li are investigated for using the Discrete Variational $(DV)-X{\alpha}$ molecular orbital method. The chemical bonding properties of the atoms were examined by bond overlap population of electronic states. The plot of density of states supports the covalent bonding properties by showing the overlap between the atoms. There is a strong tendency of covalent bonding between V-S and V-O. The intensity of covalent bonding of $VS_2$ is stronger than $VO_2$. The net charge of $LiVO_2$ is higher than that of $LiVS_2$. This results of the calculation of $VO_2$ and $VS_2$ indicate that $(DV)-X{\alpha}$ method can be widely applied in the new practical materials.

In this study, multilayered SnO nanoparticles are prepared using oleylamine as a surfactant at 165℃. The physical and chemical properties of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Interestingly, when the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are heated at 400℃ under argon for 2 h, they become more efficient anode materials, maintaining their morphology. Heat treatment of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles results in enhanced discharge capacities of up to 584 mAh/g in 70 cycles and cycle stability. These materials exhibit better coulombic efficiencies. Therefore, we believe that the heat treatment of multilayered SnO nanoparticles is a suitable approach to enable their application as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

High nickel layered oxide cathodes are gaining increasing attention for lithium-ion batteries due to their higher energy density and lower cost compared to LiCoO₂. However, they suffer from the formation of residual lithium on the surface in the form of LiOH and Li₂CO₃ on exposure to ambient air. The residual lithium causes notorious issues, such as slurry gelation during electrode preparation and gas evolution during cell cycling. In this review, we investigate the residual lithium issues through its impact on cathode slurry instability based on deformed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as well as its formation and reduction mechanism in terms of inherently off-stoichiometric synthesis of high nickel cathodes. Additionally, new analysis method with anhydrous methanol was introduced to exclude Li⁺/H⁺ exchange effect during sample preparation with distilled water. We hope that this review would contribute to encouraging the academic efforts to consider practical aspects and mitigation in global high-energy-density lithium-ion battery manufacturers.

본 논문은 layer-by-layer 자가조립법을 이용해서 polyaniline(PANi), graphene oxide(GO) 및 phytic acid(PA)으로 구성된 $(PANi/GO/PANi/PA)_{10}$ 다층을 제작하고, 전기화학적 방법을 활용하여 GO를 ERGO으로 환원하여 완성된 $(PANi/ERGO/PANi/PA)_{10}$ 다층 필름 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 특히 이 과정에 다층 필름 전극 내에서 고리형 다인산 화합물 나노입자가 PANi을 도핑함과 동시에 전극 내부에 다공성과 표면적을 높여서 $(PANi/ERGO)_{20}$ 전극의 용적 커패시턴스를 개선할 수 있는 지를 조사하였다. 다층 필름 전극의 전기화학적 특성은 1 M $H_2SO_4$ 전해질 하에서 삼 전극 시스템을 이용하여 측정되었다. 그 결과, $(PANi/ERGO)_{20}$ 전극은 $1A/cm^3$ 전류밀도에서 $666F/cm^3$의 용적 커패시턴스을 보여주었고, $(PANi/ERGO/PANi/PA)_{10}$ 전극은 $769F/cm^3$에 해당되는 개선된 용적 커패시턴스를 보여주었다. 또한 1000 사이클 이후에도 초기 커패시턴스의 79.3%의 순환 안정성을 유지하였다. 이와 같이 공액성 구성성분들이 서로 포개져서 밀집되게 형성된 $(PANi/ERGO)_{20}$ 전극 내부에 고리형 다인산 화합물 나노입자를 이용한 구조변환을 통해서 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Skaergaard 암체의 중대에는 사장석 우세대와 휘석 우세대가 교대하는 macro-rhythmic layers와 modally-graded, rhythmic lace론 비롯한 최소 두 가지 종류 이상의 layering 발견된다 Macro-rhythmic layers는 LS의 중대에서만 빈번히 발견된다. 두게는 0.3에서 3.3m에 이르고 명확한 상하부 경계를 가지며 노두에서 2km 이상 휭으로 연장된다. 자기 macro-rhythmic layer에서는 내부적인 점이층리 구조를 보이지는 않으나 소규모 modally-graded layer 빈번히 발견된다. Modally-graded, rhythmic layer는 LS의 흔히 발견되나 UBS나 MBS에서는 드물게 관찰된다. 두에는 떼서 50cm에 이르고 노두에서 최대 100m 까지 횡으로 연속된다. 횡적으로 갑자기 혹은 서서히 사라지며 종종 기칠 메우기 구조나 사층리 구조를 수반한다. 명확한 하부 경계와 점이적인 상부 경계와 함께 강한 층간 modal grading이나 size grading이 특징이다. 중대 modally-graded layering중 사장석 우세와 휘석 우세 macro-rhythmic layer두개를 상세하게 조사하였다. 일반적으로 사장석 내의 $K_2$O와 Ba, 휘석, 티탄철석, 그리고 자철석 내의 MgO와 FeO*를 제외한 광물성분변이는 보이지 않는다. 티탄철석과 자철석이 풍부한 layer기저에 산출되는 휘석, 티탄철석, 그리고 자철석의 성분은 MgO가 더 많고 FeO*는 더 적은 경향을 보여준다. 이와 같은 성분변이는 기존의 결정과 Fe가 많은 melt의 상호반응의 결과로 생각되며 Layer 기저에서는 상부보다 적은 re-equilibration를 겪은 것으로 생각된다. 개개 상이나 휘석과 oxide의 비와 reequilibration의 정도 간에는 직접적인 상관관계는 보이지 않는다 휘석 우세 layer거 사장석에 비해 사장석 우세 layer 의 사장석은 UBS의 사장석과 유사하게 상대적으로 적은 $K_2$O와 Eu/Sm를 보이며 이는 사장석 우세 layer는 암체 상부에서 유래한 과외의 사장석에 기인함을 시사한다. 사장석 우세 layer는 대류기에 휘석 우세 layer는 비대류기에 형성되었음을 시사한다. $K_2$O가 적은 사장석 우세 layer의 사장석은 layer내로 통과하는 $K_2$O가 풍부한 liquid와의 reequilibration 에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.
