The $(Y,Gd)BO_3:Eu$ red phosphors for PDP application were synthesized by ultrasonic spray method and then their photoluminance properties were investigated under 147nm VUV irradiation. The precursor solution of acetates of Y, GD and Eu and boric acid diluted in water was sprayed using 1.7 MHz ultra-sonic sprayer into the reaction tube held at high temperature. The as-sprayed particles were amorphous phase having C-C and C-H bonds due to the insufficient thermal reaction during the pass along the tube. But the sprayed samples followed by heat treatment at $1100^{\circ}C$ had the same crystal structure and chemical composition as those samples followed by solid state reaction. It was found that the $(Y_{0.7}Gd_{0.3})_{0.95} BO_3:Eu_{0.05}^{3+}$ phosphor particles synthesized by spray at $500^{\circ}C$ and then heat treated at $900^{\circ}C$ had a spherical-like shape and fine particle size at $0.7{\mu\textrm{m}}$ having a narrow size distribution, while the phosphor particles made by solid state reaction was $3{\mu\textrm{m}}$ coarse and non-uniform size distribution. The emitting intensity under 147nm VUV excitation for $(Y_{0.7}Gd_{0.3})_{0.95}BO_3:Eu_{0.05}^{3+}$ phosphor prepared by spray method was found to be higher than those phosphor made by solid state reaction and the commercial $(Y,Gd)BO_3:Eu$ product.

$LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y = 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method after mechanical mixing, and their_electrochemical properties were investigated. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y=0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) samples had the R3m structure. The sample with y = 0.025 showed the largest first discharge capacity (131.4 mAh/g) and good cycling performance [discharge capacity 117.5 mAh/g ($89.4{\%}$ of the first discharge capacity) at the 20th cycle]. The first discharge capacity decreased as the value of y increased. The samples with y = 0.010 and y = 0.005 had small R-factor but their cycling performance was worse than that of the sample with y = 0.025. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ samples had smaller discharge capacities than $LiNiO_2$, but their cycling performances were better than that of $LiNiO_2$.

We weal know that PbO was poisonous and prone to volatilize, then to pollute the circumstance and hurt to people, so we should dope other innocuous additives instead of lead to increase Tc of composite PTC material. In order to prepare lead-free $BaTiO_3$-based PTC with middle Curie point, the incorporation on $(BaNaK)(TiNb)O_3$ into $BaTiO_3$-based ceramics was investigated on samples containing 0.05, 0.07 and 0.1mol% of $(BaNaK)(TiNb)O_3$. $(BaNaK)(TiNb)O_3$ was compounded as standby material by conventional solid-state reaction technique. The starting materials were $Na_2O_3$,$K_2CO_3$, $BaCO_3$, $TiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$ powder, and using solid-state reaction method, too. The microstructure of samples were investigated by SEM, DSC, XRD and dielectric properties. Phase composition and lattice parameters were investigated by X-ray diffraction. Also, we are measure the resistivity of sintered bodies with calcinations condition.

The phosphatic calcium compounds such as calcium hydrogen phosphate, bone ash, hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate were prepared using the high purity calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate obtained from shell resources. Calcium hydrogen phosphate had been prepared using the high purity calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid solution. Using the calcium hydrogen phosphate as a starting materials, bone ash have been prepared by solid state reaction method and hydroxyapatite could be obtained by hydrothermal treatment method, respectively. The tricalcium phosphate was prepared by the solid state reaction of a stoichiometic mixture of bone ash and high purity calcium carbonate. In this paper, the optimal preparation process and conditions of phosphatic calcium compounds were established.

$Gd_{1-x}VO_4:{Eu_x}^{3+}$ red phosphors were synthesized with changing the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ion by using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation properties of the red phosphors were measured by using X-ray diffractometer, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and florescence spectrometer, respectively. The XRD results showed that the main peak of all the phosphor powders occurs at (200) plane. As for the photoluminescence properties, the maximum excitation spectrum occurred at 306 nm due to the charge transfer band from ${VO_4}^{3-}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions and the maximum emission spectrum was the red luminescence peaking at 619 nm when the concentration of $Eu^{3+}$ ion was 0.10 mol.

$CaMoO_4:Tb^{3+}$ green phosphor powders and thin films were successfully prepared by using the solid-state reaction method and the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique, respectively. The crystalline structure of all phosphor powders with different $Tb^{3+}$ ion concentrations was found to be a tetragonal system with the maximum diffraction intensity at $28.58^{\circ}$, while that of the phosphor thin films, irrespective of the type of substrate, was amorphous. As for the phosphor powders, the grain particles showed the chain-like patterns with inhomogeneous size distribution, the excitation spectra were composed of a broad band peaked at 307 nm and two small narrow bands centered at 381 and 492 nm, and the highest green emission spectrum was observed at 0.01 mol of $Tb^{3+}$ ions. As for the phosphor thin films, the average transmittance exceeding 85% was measured in the 400~1,100 nm range and the optical band gap showed a significant dependence on the type of substrate.

Nano-sized $TiB_2$ was in situ synthesized in copper matrix through self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) with high-energy ball milled Ti-B-Cu elemental mixtures as powder precursors. The size of $TiB_2$ particles in the product of SHS reaction decreases with time of preliminary mechanical treatment ranging from 1 in untreated mixture to 0.1 in mixtures milled for 3 min. Subsequent mechanical treatment of the product of SHS reaction allowed the $TiB_2$ particles to be reduced down to 30-50 nm. Microstructural change of $TiB_2$-Cu nanocomposite during spark plasma sintering (SPS) was also investigated. Under simultaneous action of pressure, temperature and electric current, titanium diboride nanoparticles distributed in copper matrix move, agglomerate and form a interpenetrating phase composite with a fine-grained skeleton.

Recently, lithium transition metal phosphates with an ordered olivine-type structure, $LiMPO_4$ (M=Fe, Mn, Ni, and Co), have attracted extensive attention due to a high theoretical specific capacity (170 mAh/g). The $LiMPO_4$ is the most attractive because of its high stability, low cost, high compatibility with environment. However, it is difficult to attain its full capacity because its electronic conductivity is very low, and diffusion of Li-ion in the olivine structure is slow and the supervalue cation doping was used. In this research, we are used the supervalue cation doping methode such as Cu, Ti, and Mg were partially replace the Fe. The cycling performance resulted of the used $LiM_xFe_{1_x}PO_4$ cathode materials for lithium batteries exhibit excellent high capacity than $LiFePO_4$/Li cells.

The Y1.99-xMxCe0.01SiO5(M=Li, La, Nd, and Gd) phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1350oC for 10h under reducing atmosphere in order to improve properties of blue emitting phosphors. Compared with commercial blue phosphors, the Y2SiO5:Ce blue phosphors substituted with various elements showed significant enhancement of the emission intensity. Particularly, 1 mol% Li doped Y2SiO5:Ce phosphors indicated the maximum emission intensity in the photoluminescence spectra. Thanks to SEM analyses revealed that the morphology of Y2SiO5:(Ce,Li) blue phosphors was a pseudo-spherical with particle size of 3m.
