  • Phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave dielectric properties of $Li_2O$ and $Al_2O_3$ doped $Zn_{1.9}Si_{1.05}O_4$, i.e., $Zn_{1.9-2x}Li_xAl_x-Si_{1.05}O_4$, ceramics (x = 0.02 ~ 0.10) were investigated. The ceramics were densified by $SiO_2$-rich liquid phase composed of the Li-Al-Si-O system, indicating that doped Li and Al contributed to the formation of the liquid. As the secondary phase, ${\beta}$-spodumene solid solution with the composition of $LiAlSi_3O_8$ was precipitated from the liquid during the cooling process. The dense ceramics were obtained for the specimens of $$x{\geq_-}0.06$$ showing the rapid densification above $1000^{\circ}C$, implying that a certain amount of liquid is necessary to densify. The specimen of x = 0.06 sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ exhibited good microwave dielectric properties; the dielectric constant and the quality factor ($Q{\times}f_0$) were 6.4 and 11,213 GHz, respectively.

  • 최근 휴대용 전자기기의 전원으로서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 리튬 이차 전지는 우수한 에너지 밀도, 낮은 자가방전 속도로 인한 비 메모리 효과, 높은 작동전압으로 다양한 전자기기뿐만 아니라 미래형 자동차산업 및 항공산업 분야에서도 점차 사용 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 현재 리튬 이차 전지의 음극물질로 널리 사용되고 있는 흑연의 경우 초기 용량 감소가 크고 이론적인 최대용량(372 mAhg-1, LiC6)이 낮다는 문제가 있어 다양한 대체물질의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 Si는 Li과 반응하여 Li4.4Si합금을 형성하며 높은 이론용량을 갖고 상용화된 전지의 전압(~3.7 V)보다 0.3 V정도 밖에 낮지 않기때문에 재료의 개발과 함께 바로 사용화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 Si의 경우 금속 자체로 사용되는 경우 Li 이온이 삽입되어 Li4.4Si형성 시에 310%의 부피 팽창을 일으키게 되어 분쇄반응(pulverization)을 일으키고 충 방전에 따라 급격한 용량 감소를 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 보다 간단한 방법으로 Si층 사이에 수 나노의 Al층을 삽입하여 Si 입자의 부피 팽창으로부터 오는 응력을 상쇄시켜 높은 방전 용량 특성과 우수한 수명 특성을 동시에 구현하였다.

  • MFIS(Metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor) structures using silicon oxynitride(SiON) buffer layers were fabricatied and demonstrated nonvolatile memory operations. Oxynitride(SiON) films have been formed on p-Si(100) by RTP(rapid thermal process) in O$_2$+N$_2$ ambient at 1100$^{\circ}C$. The gate leakage current density of Al/SiON/Si(100) capacitor was about the order of 10$\^$-8/ A/cm$^2$ at the range of ${\pm}$ 2.5 MV/cm. The C-V characteristics of Al/LiNbO$_3$/SiON/Si(100) capacitor showed a hysteresis loop due to the ferroelectric nature of the LiNbO$_3$ thin films. Typical dielectric constant value of LiNbO$_3$ film of MFIS device was about 24. The memory window width was about 1.2V at the electric field of ${\pm}$300 kV/cm ranges.

  • The pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel generates LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt containing radioactive rare earth nuclides. It is necessary to develop a simple process for the treatment of LiCl-KCl eutectic waste in a hot-cell facility. In this study, capture and solidification of a rare earth nuclide (Nd) in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt using an inorganic composite with a $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system was conducted to simplify the existing separation and solidification process of rare earth nuclides in LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt from the pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. More than 98wt% of Nd in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt was captured when the mass ratio of the composite was 0.67 over $NdCl_3$ in the eutectic salt. The content of $Nd_2O_3$ in the Nd captured-composite reached about 50wt%, and this composite was directly fabricated into a homogeneous and chemical resistant glass waste in a monolithic form. These results will be utilized in designing a process to simplify the existing separation and solidification process.

  • Quarternary $Li_2O-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glasses were fabricated by the function of $R({\equiv}Li_2Omole%/B_2O_3mole%)$ and $K({\equiv}(Al_2O_3mole%+SiO_2mole%/B_2O_3mole%)$. The structures of these glasses were investigated through refractive index and Vicker's hardness. The refractive index increased as the increase of the polarizability in the glass network. In the region of low $Li_2O$ content, the refractive index increased due to the increase of the polarizability in the glass network but, in the region of high $Li_2O$ content, the rate of increase of the refractive index decreased due to the increase of the molar volume caused by the formation of $BO_3{^-}$ units with relatively high molar volume. And, the refractive index decreased as the increase of $Al_2O_3+SiO_2$ content with the molar volume in the glass network. The increase and decrease of vicker's hardness values for those glasses depended on the fraction of tetrahedral $BO_4$ units and it of triangle $BO_3{^-}$ units with non-bridging oxygen, respectively.

  • Generally, the high energy lithium ion batteries depend intimately on the high capacity of electrode materials. For anode materials, the capacity of commercial graphite is unlike to increase much further due to its lower theoretical capacity of 372 mAhg-1. To improve upon graphite-based negative electrode materials for Li-ion rechargeable batteries, alternative anode materials with higher capacity are needed. Therefore, some metal anodes with high theoretic capacity, such as Si, Sn, Ge, Al, and Sb have been studied extensively. This work focuses on ternary Si-M1-M2 composite system, where M1 is Ge that alloys with Li, which has good cyclability and high specific capacity and M2 is Mo that does not alloy with Li. The Si shows the highest gravimetric capacity (up to 4000mAhg-1 for Li21Si5). Although Si is the most promising of the next generation anodes, it undergoes a large volume change during lithium insertion and extraction. It results in pulverization of the Si and loss of electrical contact between the Si and the current collector during the lithiation and delithiation. Thus, its capacity fades rapidly during cycling. Si thin film is more resistant to fracture than bulk Si because the film is firmly attached to the substrate. Thus, Si film could achieve good cycleability as well as high capacity. To improve the cycle performance of Si, Suzuki et al. prepared two components active (Si)-active(Sn, like Ge) elements film by vacuum deposition, where Sn particles dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix. This film showed excellent rate capability than pure Si thin film. In this work, second element, Ge shows also high capacity (about 2500mAhg-1 for Li21Ge5) and has good cyclability although it undergoes a large volume change likewise Si. But only Ge does not use the anode due to its costs. Therefore, the electrode should be consisted of moderately Ge contents. Third element, Mo is an element that does not alloys with Li such as Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, V, Zr. In our previous research work, we have fabricated Si-Mo (active-inactive elements) composite negative electrodes by using RF/DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrodes showed excellent cycle characteristics. The Mo-silicide (inert matrix) dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix and prevents the active material from aggregating. However, the thicker film than $3\;{\mu}m$ with high Mo contents showed poor cycling performance, which was attributed to the internal stress related to thickness. In order to deal with the large volume expansion of Si anode, great efforts were paid on material design. One of the effective ways is to find suitably three-elements (Si-Ge-Mo) contents. In this study, the Si based composites of 45~65 Si at.% and 23~43 Ge at.%, and 12~32 Mo at.% are evaluated the electrochemical characteristics and cycle performances as an anode. Results from six different compositions of Si-Ge-Mo are presented compared to only the Si and Ge negative electrodes.

  • 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.
