The effects of carbon-coated silicon anode on the electrochemical properties and structural change were investigated. The carbon-coated silicon powders have been prepared by thermal decomposition under argon/10wt% propylene mixed gas flow at $700^{\circ}C$. The surface and crystal structure of the synthesized materials were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. Lithium cells with electrodes made from the uncoated and the carbon coated silicon anode were assembled and tested. The carbon-coated silicon particles merged together well after the insertion/extraction of lithium ions, and showed a relatively low irreversible capacity compared with the uncoated silicon particle.

Aligned carbon nanotubes(CNTs) array were synthesized using direct current plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The nickel microgrids catalyzed the growth of carbon nanotubes which take on the area of the nickel microgrids. Selective growth of areas of nanotubes was achieved by patterning the nickel film. CNTs were grown on the pretreated substrates at 30% $C_2H_2:NH_3$ flow ratios for 10min. Carbon nanotubes with diameters about 20 nanometers and lengths approximately 720 nanometers were obtained. Morphologies of carbon nanotubes were observed by FE-SEM and TEM.

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers on a catalytic metal substrate, using an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame, was investigated. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, with diameters of 20 - 60nm, were formed on the substrate coated with nickel-nitrate in the region of 5 - 6mm from the flame center along the radial direction. The gas temperature for this region was ranging from about 1400 to 900K. Nickel particles originated from the coated nickel-nitrate on the substrate were the major catalyst for the formation of the nanomaterials. HR-TEM and Raman spectrum revealed that synthesized carbon nanotubes had multi-walled structures with some defective graphite layers at walls.

Carbon nitride is one of the new carbon materials which show interesting properties. After the theoretical calculation by LIu and Cohen, many researchers are trying to prepare $\beta$-$C_3N_4$ which may be harder than diamond. Many carbon nitride films synthesized till now by various methods are amorphous and the N/C ratios in the films are usually below 0.5. First we review shortly the synthesis of carbon nitride thin films by plasma, ion and laser processing. Second we report on the preparation of amorphous carbon nitride thin films by shielded arc ion plating and the structural and mechanical properties of the films.

Lithium inserted into artificial carbon has been synthesized as a function of the Li concentration. The characteristics of these prepared compounds were determined from the studies using X-ray diffraction(XRD), solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NM R) spectrophotometric and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis. X-ray diffraction showed that lower stage intercalation compounds were formed with increasing Li concentration. In the case of the AG3, most compounds formed were of the stage 1 structure. Pure stage 1 structural defects of artificial graphite were not observed. 7Li-NMR data showed that bands are shifted toward higher frequencies with increasing lithium concentration; this is because non-occupied electron shells of Li increased in charge carrier density. Line widths of the Li inserted carbon compounds decreased slowly because of nonhomogeneous local magnetic order and the random electron spin direction for located Li between graphene layers. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the compounds can be obtained from the differential scanning calorimetric analysis results. From these results, it was found that exothermic and endothermic reactions of lithium inserted into artificial carbon are related to the thermal stability of lithium between artificial carbon graphene layers.

화석연료의 연소에 의해 발생하는 연소배가스에 포함된 이산화탄소는 대표적인 온실 가스로 알려졌으며 지구 온난화를 방지하기 위하여 다양한 제거 및 활용 기술에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 연소배가스에서 분리된 이산화탄소를 마그네타이트 분말을 이용하여 재활용하기 위한 방안을 찾기 위한 노력의 일환으로 수행하였다. $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$와 NaOH 수용액을 혼합하여 알칼리도를 달리하고 산화제를 달리한 다음 합성온도를 50, 80, 90, $100^{\circ}C$로 하여 마그네타이트 분말을 제조하였으며 XRD와 SEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 산성 영역보다 염기성 영역 그리고 합성온도가 높을수록 높은 결정성을 갖는 입방정(cubic) 형태의 스핀넬 타입 마그네타이트 분말이 합성되었다. TGA를 이용하여 합성된 분말의 수소에 의한 환원 및 이산화탄소 흡수에 의한 산화특성을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 낮은 합성온도와 산성영역에서는 입방정 형태를 갖는 분말이 생성되지 않았으며 대부분 무정형의 상만이 존재하였다. 그러나 합성온도가 높고 염기성 영역으로 갈수록 높은 결정성과 입방정 형태를 갖는 입자가 나타났다. 또한, 반응 시 산화제로 산소와 공기를 사용한 경우와 질소를 사용한 경우를 비교하였을 때, 산소 함량이 높을수록 우수한 결정성을 갖는 분말이 합성되었다. 합성된 분말을 사용하여 Redox 반응을 수행한 결과, $400^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 수소에 의한 환원과 이산화탄소 흡수에 의한 산화 반응이 거의 일어나지 않았으나, $500^{\circ}C$에서는 환원 및 산화 반응이 잘 이루어졌다. 특히, 산소를 산화제로 사용하고 염기성영역(NaOH에 대한 $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$의 몰랄농도비=2.0)에서 $100^{\circ}C$로 합성한 분말이 반응온도 $500^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 27.15 wt％의 환원량과 26.75 wt％의 산화량을 보였다.

MCMB (mesocarbon microbeads) has been synthesized from coal tar pitch, petroleum pitch and polymer compound generally. But yield of MCMB was low about 20~40 wt% and was not above 50 wt%. Neither MCMB was replaced with natural graphite because of economic performance, refining MCMB, and control of the particle size distribution. This study was performed to elevate yield of MCMB and to develop technique of particle size distribution. As the result, yield of MCMB that was synthesized from coal tar pitch increased more than 60 wt% about raw material and particle size of MCMB was restrained according to control of QI (quinoline insoluble) ingredient in raw pitch, heat treatment temperature and time.

Diamondlike carbon(DLC)films having good characteristics in mechanical and optical properties, were synthesized by rf-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Methane, methane-hydrogen, or methane-argon were used as source gases. The infrared transparency and composition of the films were investigate. Especially, the anti-reflection effect of KLC film in infrared region was confirmed by depositing it on Ge/Si sample. When DLC films were deposited on the plastic substrates and thermal distortion, which were originated before and during deposition, respectively, played a role as a crack source of the films.

For decompose carbon dioxide, manganese oxide was synthesized with $0.25M-MnSO_{4}{\cdot}nH_{2}O$ and 0.5M-NaOH by coprecipitation. We made magnetite deoxidized manganese oxide by hydrogen reduction for 1hour at $330^{\circ}C$. We investigated characteristics of catalyst, hydrogen reduction degree and decomposition rate of carbon dioxide. The structure of the hausmannite certified spinel type. The specific surface area of synthesized hausmannite and deoxidized hausmannite were $22.36m^{2}/g$, $33.56m^{2}/g$ respectively. The decomposition rate of $CO_{2}$ of deoxidized hausmannite was 57%.

Nanocomposites comprised of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel process. The synthesized samples were studied by X-ray powder diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results show that the MgO nanoparticles, with an average diameter of 70 nm, are decorated uniformly on the surface of the GOs. By controlling the concentration of the MgO precursors and reaction cycles, it was possible to control the loading density and the size of the resulting MgO particles. Because the MgO particles are robustly anchored on the GO structure, the MgO/GOs nanocomposites will have future applications in the fields of adsorption and chemical sensing.
