New wet chemical method so called precipitation-evaporation method was suggested for preparing spinel structure lithium manganese oxide ($LiMn_2$$O_4$) for Li ion secondary battery. Using precipitation-evaporation method, $LiMn_2$$O_4$ cathode materials suitable for Li ion secondary batteries can be synthesized. Single spinel phase $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder was synthesized at lower temperature compared to that of prepared by solid-state method. $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder prepared by precipitation-evaporation method showed uniform, small size and well defined crystallinity particles. Li ion secondary battery using $LiMn_2$$O_4$ as cathode materials prepared by precipitation-evaporation method and calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ showed discharge capacity of 106.03mAh/g and discharge capacity of 95.60mAh/g at 10th cycle. Although Li ion secondary battery showed somewhat smaller initial capacity but good cyclic ability. It is suggested that electro-chemical properties can be improved by controlling particle characteristics by particle morphology modification during calcination and optimizing Li ion secondary battery assembly conditions.

The aim of this research was to investigate the ability of nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes as a filtration unit for groundwater treatment for drinking water resources. Commercial membranes denoted as TS40, TFC-SR3 and GHSP were used to study the performance based on rejections and fluxes. The investigation has been conducted using natural groundwater obtained from a deep tube well with initial concentration of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) at 7.15 mg/L and 0.87 mg/L, respectively. Experimental results showed that NF membranes exhibited higher fluxes than UF membrane with pure water permeability at 4.68, 3.99 and $3.15L.m^{-2}.h^{-1}.bar^{-1}$, respectively. For metal rejection, these membranes have performed higher removal on Fe with TS40, TFC-SR3 and GHSP membranes having more than 82%, 92% and 86% respectively. Whereas, removal on Mn only achieved up to 60%, 80% and 30%, for TS40, TFC-SR3 and GHSP membranes respectively. In order to achieve drinking water standard, the membranes were efficient in removing Fe ion at 1 and 2 bar in contrast with Mn ion at 4 and 5 bar. Higher rejection of Fe and Mn were achieved when pH of feed solution was increased to more than 7 as TFC-SR3 membrane was negatively charged in basic solution. This effect could be attributed to the electrostatic effect interaction between membrane material and rejected ions. In conclusion, this study proved that NF membrane especially the TFC-SR3 membrane successfully treated local groundwater sources for public drinking water supply in line with the WHO standard.

최근 망간산화물 Ln$_{1-x}$A$_{x}$MnO$_3$(Ln=La, Pr, Nd등의 lanthannide; A=Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb 등의 +2가 이온)는 초거대자기저항(CMR) 특성으로 많은 연구그룹의 주목을 받고 있다. 그런데 chalcogenide spinels에서도 CMR특성이 관측되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 chalcogenide Ni$_{x}$Fe$_{1-x}$Cr$_2$S$_4$에서 Ni이온이 CMR 특성에 미치는 효과를 X선 회절 실험, 자기저항측정, 그리고 Mossbauer 분광실험으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 Ni이온의 치환은 Jahn-Teller distortion을 심화시키고, 또한 T$_{c}$ 값에 증가를 초래하여 CMR현상에 영향을 준다. T$_{c}$ 부근에서 일어나는 CMR현상은 망간산화물에서의 $Mn^{3+}$ 와 $Mn^{4+}$ 사이의 이중교환상호작용과는 다르게 동적 Jahn-Teller효과에 기인한 도체-반도체전이와 자기장하에서 절반 금속성의 에너지밴드구조를 갖는 시료의 스핀편향에 의한 전도현상 그리고 자기구역의 정렬에 의하여 발생되는 것으로 나타났다.

Zinc sulfide is a well-known host material of phosphor emitting different radiations dependent on different doping impurities of metallic ion. It emits green, blue, orange-yellow or white colors by doping with activators such as copper, silver, manganese and so on. In this study, manganese, copper and chlorine doped ZnS phosphor (ZnS:Mn,Cu,Cl) was synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The optical properties were investigated according to different concentrations of sulfur and activators used during the synthesis process.

The surface modified $LiMn_2O_4$ materials with Li-Fe composites were prepared by a sol-gel method to improve the electrochemical performance of $LiMn_2O_4$ and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-EDS. XRD results indicate that all the samples (modified and pristine samples) have cubic spinel structures, and XRD, XPS, and TEM-EDS data reveal the formation of $Li(Li_xFe_xMn_{2-2x})O_4$ solid solution on the surface of particles. For the electrochemical properties, the modified material demonstrated dramatically enhanced reversibility and stability even at elevated temperature. These improvements are attributed to the formation of the solid solution, and thus-formed solid solution phase on the surface of $LiMn_2O_4$ particle reduces the dissolution of Mn ion and suppresses the Jahn-Teller effect.

Spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ has become appealing because manganese is inexpensive and environmentally benign. In general, cathodes for lithium ion batteries include carbon as a conductive agent that provides electron transfer between the active material and the current collector. In this work, we selected Acetylene Black and Super P Black as conductive agents, and then carried out their comparative investigation for the performances of the $Li/LiMn_2O_4$ cells using different conductive agents with different particle size. In addition, their electrochemical impedance characteristic of $Li/Mn_2O_4$ cells using different conductive agents is effectively identified through a.c. impedance technique. As a consequence, $Li/LiMn_2O_4$ cells with Super P Black show better electrochemical performances ascribed to the significant contribution of feasible ionic conduction due to larger particle size than those with Acetylene Black.

The effect of Mn and Nb additions on the electrical properties of BaTiO$_3$ has been studied by means of equilibrium electrical conductivity as a function of temperature, oxygen partial pressure(Po$_2$) and composition. If the manganese ion is added to the normal Ti site, i.e. BaTi$_{1-x}Mn_xO_{\delta-6}$, the equilibrium conductivity shows strong evidence of acceptor-doped behavior. The conductivity minimum, corresponding to the transition from oxygen excess, p-type behavior to oxygen deficient, n-type behavior with decreasing Po$_2$, is displaced to lower Po$_2$ and is broadened and flattened. The partial replacement of Mn ion with Nb decreases the acceptor-doped effect and the total replacement exhibits a typical donor-doped behavior. It was confirmed that unlike undoped or other acceptor-doped behavior. It was confirmed that unlike undoped or other acceptor-doped samples, for the p-type region, the electrical conductivity follows the 1/6th power dependence of oxygen partial pressure.

This paper presents the synthesis of one-dimensional spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ nanostructures using a facile and scalable two-step process. $LiMn_2O_4$ nanorods with average diameter of 100 nm and length of 1.5 ${\mu}m$ have been prepared by solid-state lithiation of hydrothermally synthesized ${\beta}$-$MnO_2$ nanorods. $LiMn_2O_4$ nanowires with diameter of 10 nm and length of several micrometers have been fabricated via solid-state lithiation of ${\beta}$-$MnO_2$ nanowires. The precursors have been lithiated with LiOH and reaction temperature and pressure have been controlled. The complete structural transformation to cubic phase and the maintenance of 1-D nanostructure morphology have been evaluated by XRD, SEM, and TEM analysis. The size distribution of the spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ nanorods/wires has been similar to the $MnO_2$ precursors. By control of reaction pressure, cubic 1-D spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ nanostructures have been fabricated from tetragonal $MnO_2$ precursors even below $500^{\circ}C$.

리튬이온전지의 양극소재인 $LiMn_2O_4$를 다양한 모양과 크기의 망간산화물 및 망간수산화물 전구체를 사용해서 합성하였다. 첫 번째 단계로 수열합성법이나 침전법을 사용하여 ${\alpha}-MnO_2$, ${\beta}-MnO_2$, $Mn_3O_4$, amorphous $MnO_2$ 및 $Mn(OH)_2$ 등의 전구체를 합성하였고, 두 번째 단계로 이들 전구체로부터 고상법을 사용하여 다양한 형태의 $LiMn_2O_4$를 제조하였다. 합성된 $LiMn_2O_4$의 특성은 주사전자현미경과 XRD Rietveld구조분석을 통해 확인하고, Li coin cell로 조립하여 전극특성을 측정하였다. 500 nm크기의 팔면체(nano-octahedron) $LiMn_2O_4$가 1 C-rate와 50 C-rate에서 각각 107 mAh $g^{-1}$, 99 mAh $g^{-1}$의 높은 전지용량을 나타내며, 다양한 방전전류에서 가장 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 보인다. 3차원 팔면체 결정입자가 1차원 막대모양이나 2차원 판상모양의 다른 형태의 $LiMn_2O_4$보다 구조적 안정성도 우수한 것으로 평가된다. 또한 10 C-rate의 높은 전류로 500회 충 방전이 진행된 후에도 nano-octahedron $LiMn_2O_4$는 단지 5%의 용량감소(95% capacity retention)로 우수한 전극특성을 나타냈다.
