Diverse structures of Mn oxides in natural and engineered systems occur from the transformation of δ-MnO₂, the most common crystalline phase of nucleated Mn oxides, to other structures via redox reactions, adsorption of metals, etc. Recently, together with emerging interests of Zn-based rechargeable battery systems, which use Mn oxides as a cathode, the transformation and recrystallization of Mn oxides have garnered interests. Here, using hydrothermal reaction of Zn-doped δ-MnO₂, the formation of todorokite and chalcophanite is observed. When the concentration of doped Zn increases, the formation of chalcophanite is dominant, but occurs slower than that of the lower concentration of doped Zn. This study will provide a new understanding of the effect of Zn on the recrystallization process of Mn oxides during redox cycles in energy storage systems and environmental systems.

In this study, iron and manganese coated sand (IMCS) was prepared by mixing Joomoonjin sand with solutions having different molar ratio of manganese ($Mn^{2+}$) and iron ($Fe^{3+}$). Mineral type of IMCS was analyzed by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Removal efficiency of arsenic through As(III) oxidation and As(V) adsorption by IMCS having different ratio of Mn/Fe was evaluated. The coated amount of total Mn and Fe on all IMCS samples was less than that on sand coated with iron-oxide alone (ICS) or manganese-oxide alone (MCS). The mineral type of the manganese oxide on MCS and iron oxides on ICS were identified as ${\gamma}-MnO_2$ and mixture of goethite and magnetite, respectively. The same mineral type was appeared on IMCS. Removed amount As(V) by IMCS was greatly affected by the content of Fe rather than by the content of Mn. Adsorption of As(V) by IMCS was little affected by the presence of monovalent and divalent electrolytes. However a greatly reduced As(V) adsorption as observed in the presence of trivalent electrolyte such as $PO_4\;^{3-}$. As(III) oxidation efficiency by MCS in the presence of NaCl or $NaNO_3$ was two times greater than that in the presence of $PO_4\;^{3-}$. Meanwhile a greater As(III) oxidation efficiency was observed by IMCS in the presence of $PO_4\;^{3-}$. This was explained by the competitive adsorption between phosphate and arsenate on the surface of IMCS.

Core-shell structured $BaTiO_3$ powders were produced via nano-coating of $Cr_2O_3$ and $Mn_2O_3$ to barium titanate powder system for MLCCs. From preliminary experiments, the optimal solution reaction condition employing using $KMnO_4$, $K_2Cr_2O_4$ and sulfur was established. Not only powders of $Cr_2O_3$ and $Mn_2O_3$ were synthesized but also their coating on $BaTiO_3$ powders were peformed under the same reaction condition. The coating was carried out in two ways, one-step and two-step, and its results were characterized for comparison. Conclusively speaking, two oxide additives were coated onto the $BaTiO_3$ powder surface with high quality and excellent reaction yield even under mild condition, which indicates that the contents as well as the properties of additive shell layer can be precisely controlled with rather ease.

Addition effects of metal oxide on the characteristics of infrared radiator of porous cordierite have been investigated. The porosity was increased with adding the graphite for 2MgO $.$ 2A1$_2$O$_3$$.$5SiO$_2$. The microstructure and the spectral emissivity were investigated as a function of metal oxide additives. The prosity and the emissivity were decreased with increasing amounts of CuO additives. The prosity and the emissivity were increased with increasing amounts of CoO, MnO$_2$ additives. The infrared radiator of cordierite system which spectral emissivity was 0.927 and 0.928 at from 5$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength as a 9wt% of CoO and MnO$_2$ additives.

The PSN-PT-PZ ceramics doped with the Mn-oxide(0.5wt%) were fabricated by the mixed oxide method at 1250($^{\circ}C$) for 2(hr) and then the dielectric and pyroelectric properties were investigated with the compositions. In the 0.05PSN-0.4PT-0.55PZ specimen with 0.5(wt%) $MnO_2$, the pyroelectric coefficient was $6.6{\times}10^{-8}(C/Cm^2^{\circ}C)$, and the figure of merits for pyroelectric current and voltage were $27{\times}10^{-9},\;45{\times}10^{-12}$(C.Cm/J), respectibly.

Turbocharger steels were manufactured by the powder metallurgical and casting method. They consisted primarily of a large amount of ${\gamma}$-Fe, a small amount of ${\alpha}$-Fe, and fine $Nb_6C_5$ precipitates. The casting method was better than the powder metallurgical method, because a sound matrix with little oxides were obtained. When turbocharger steels were oxidized at $900^{\circ}C$ for 50 h, $Mn_2VO_4$ and (Mn,Si)-oxides were formed along grain boundaries, while $Mn_2O_3$ and $CrMn_2O_4$ were formed intragranularly. Fe, Nb, and Ni were depleted in the oxide scale.

For the development of solid oxide fuel cell the joined interface formation between perovskite oxygen electrode and YSZ solid electrolyte is emphasized in the aspect of reducing the undisirable overpotential. The diffusion couple of LaMnO3 and YSZ was prepared by hot pressing at 130$0^{\circ}C$ in the flow of oxygen gas. The high temperature solid state reaction mechanism between LaMnO3 and YSZ is discussed on the basis of the cation composition profile through EDX analysis. The cation components in perovskite compound diffuse considerably into YSZ, while cations of YSZ diffuse little into perovskite.

Spinel $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ cathode powders with different morphologies were synthesized by a co-precipitation method using oxalic acid. The calcination temperature affected the morphologies, crystalline structure and electrochemical properties of the $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ powders. The $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ powders obtained at a calcination temperature of $850^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest initial discharge capacity with good capacity retention and high rate capability.

Multifunctional nanomaterials based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and metal oxide nanocrystals are among the most promising materials for theragnosis because of their ease of modification and high biocompatibility. However, the preparation of multifunctional nanoparticles requires time-consuming multistep processes. Herein, we report a simple one-pot synthesis of multifunctional Mn₃O₄/mesoporous silica core/shell nanoparticles (Mn₃O₄@mSiO₂) involving the temporal separation of core formation and shell growth. This simple procedure greatly reduces the time and effort required to prepare multifunctional nanoparticles. Despite the simplicity of the process, the properties of nanoparticles are not markedly different from those of core/shell nanoparticles synthesized by a previously reported multistep process. The Mn₃O₄@mSiO₂ nanoparticles are biocompatible and have potential for use in optical imaging and magnetic resonance imaging.
