Shoot waste refers to the parts of trees that are not yet optimally utilized. In this study, we aimed to utilize shoot waste of fast-growing teak (FGT) extracted from the community forest in Wonosari, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia by converting it into charcoal, followed by further conversion into activated carbon. This study was conducted with two treatment factors of the activation process, including thermal treatment (750℃, 850℃, and 950℃) and heating period (30, 60, and 90 min), to determine the best condition for the activation process. Our results indicated a significantly effect of the interaction between thermal treatment and heating period on the moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content, fixed carbon content, and adsorption properties of the produced activated carbon. The highest iodine adsorption capacity of activated carbon is 1,102.57 mg/g, which was produced by thermal treatment at 750℃ and heating period of 30 min. This result fulfilled the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 06-3730-1995 quality standard). Furthermore, the quality parameters of the produced activated carbon include: moisture content of 6.13%; volatile matter content of 17.27%; ash content 5.24%; fixed carbon content of 77.49%; benzene removal efficiency of 8.43%; and methylene blue adsorption capacity of 69.66 mg/g. Based on this study, we concluded that shoot waste of FGT could be classified as a prospective material for developing activated carbon for industrial application.

The welding methods have been applied in the most structural products from multi-field of automobile, ship construction and construction, and so on. The structure steel must have enough strength of structure. In this study, SS400 steel and STS304 steel were used to estimate the corrosion characteristics of the weld thermal cycle simulated HAZ. To evaluate the corrosion characteristics, also, the materials with two conditions were used in 3.5% NaCl. The one is to the drawing with diameter of ${\Phi}10$ and the other is to the residual stress removal treatment. The electrochemical polarization test and immersion test were carried out. From test results, corrosion potential, corrosion current density, weight loss ratio and corrosion rate were measured. In the kinds of SS400 steels, corrosion potential of weld thermal cycle simulated specimens after the heat treatment showed somewhat the direction of noble potential. And in the base metal to be drawing weight loss ratio and corrosion rate occurred higher than the other kinds. In the kinds of STS304 steels, the result of base metal to be drawing was similar to results of SS400 steels, too. Two kinds of $750^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ of weld thermal cycle simulation after the heat treatment were rather higher than the other kinds in weight loss ratio and corrosion rate.

Here we report the influence of thermal treatment on the performance of high efficiency polymer solar cells with the bulk heterojunction films of poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene-alt-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate] (PTB7-Th) and [6,6]-phenyl $C_{71}$ butyric acid methyl ester ($PC_{71}BM$). The crystalline nanostructure of PTB7-Th:$PC_{71}BM$ layers, which were annealed at three different temperatures, was investigated by employing synchrotron radiation grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) technique. Results showed that the device performance was slightly reduced by thermal annealing at $50^{\circ}C$ but became significantly poor by thermal annealing at $100^{\circ}C$. The poor device performance by thermal annealing was attributed to the collapse in the crystalline nanostructure of PTB7-Th in the PTB7-Th:$PC_{71}BM$ layers as evidenced by the GIXD measurements that exhibited huge reduction in the intensity of PTB7-Th (100) peak even at $50^{\circ}C$.

Metal nanowires can be coated on various substrates to create transparent conducting films that can potentially replace the dominant transparent conductor, indium tin oxide, in displays, solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and electrochromic windows. One issue with these metal nanowire based transparent conductive films is that the resistance between the nanowires is still high because of their low aspect ratio. Here, we demonstrate high-performance transparent conductive films with silver nanofiber networks synthesized by a low-cost and scalable electrospinning process followed by two-step sequential thermal treatments. First, the PVP/$AgNO_3$ precursor nanofibers, which have an average diameter of 208 nm and are several thousands of micrometers in length, were synthesized by the electrospinning process. The thermal behavior and the phase and morphology evolution in the thermal treatment processes were systematically investigated to determine the thermal treatment atmosphere and temperature. PVP/$AgNO_3$ nanofibers were transformed stepwise into PVP/Ag and Ag nanofibers by two-step sequential thermal treatments (i.e., $150^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ for 0.5 h and $300^{\circ}C$ in Ar for 3 h); however, the fibrous shape was perfectly maintained. The silver nanofibers have ultrahigh aspect ratios of up to 10000 and a small average diameter of 142 nm; they also have fused crossing points with ultra-low junction resistances, which result in high transmittance at low sheet resistance.

본 연구는 PCB 기판용 FRP 재료의 열화현상을 규명하기 위하여 열 및 방전에 의한 열화를 각각 모의하여 표면에서의 화학적, 정전적 상관관계를 조사하였다. 열 처리에 따른 시료의 특성변화는 $200^{\circ}C$ 까지는 표면의 소수화로 인하여 접촉각 및 표면전위가 증가하였다. XPS에 의한 분석결과 열처리에 따라 표면측쇄상 산소기의 이탈과 탄소쇄의 불포화 이중결합의 증가로 처리시료에서는 소수성이 증가하였다. 또한 열처리로 인해 착색현상이 발생되었고, 이러한 현상은 ether기에 의해 발생된다는 것을 확인하였다. 방전 처리된 시료의 접촉각 및 표면전위는 표면에 카르복실기 라디칼을 포함하는 다량의 측쇄화가 집중적으로 발생되어 처리시간에 따라 급격한 친수화가 진행되었다.

Ferroelectric $ReMnO_3$(Re:Ho, Er) thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Crystallinity and electric properties of $ReMnO_3$(Re:Ho, Er) thin films were investigated as a function of thermal heat treatment process, CHP (Conventional Heat-treatment Process) and RTP (Rapid Thermal Process). $ReMnO_3$(Re:Ho, Er) thin films prepared by RTP showed higher c-axis preferred orientation and homogeneous surface roughness than those prepared by CHP. The remnant polarization of ferroelectric hysteresis loop of $ReMnO_3$(Re:Ho, Er) thin films was strongly dependent on the c­axis preferred orientation of hexagonal single phase, and the leakage current characteristics of thin films were dependent on the homogeneity of grain size as well as surface roughness of thin films.

An efficient wet process approach to modifying natural graphite (NG) electrodes for Li-ion batteries is introduced in this paper. With homogeneous mixing and thermal decomposition of NG with diammonium phosphate ((NH₄)₂HPO₄), phosphorus and nitrogen were successfully incorporated into the surface layer of NG particles. Electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses demonstrated that the surface was well modified by this process. As a result, the treated NG electrodes exhibited much improved electrochemical performance over pristine NG at two different temperatures: 25 ℃ and 50 ℃. Excellent capacity retention of 95.6% was obtained after 100 cycles at 50 ℃. These enhanced properties were confirmed in a morphology analysis on the cross-sections of the NG electrodes after galvanostatic cycling. The improved cycle and thermal stabilities can be attributed to the surface treatment with phosphorus and nitrogen; the treatment formed a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer that performed well when undergoing Li insertion and extraction cycling.

본 연구에서는 침전법을 이용하여 양이온성 계면활성제인 hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC)를 도입한 수산화인회석을 합성하였다. X-선 회절 분석법과 투과전자현미경, 비표면적 분석기를 이용하여 수산화인회석과 CTAC을 도입한 수산화인회석의 결정성, 형태, 비표면적을 분석하였다. 열처리 후, HAP와 CTAC-HAP는 열처리 전과 비교하여 비표면적이 감소하였다. 또한 열처리는 뾰족한 막대 모양에서 종횡비가 감소한 둥근 모양으로의 CTAC-HAP의 형태변화를 유도하였다. 이러한 형태의 변화는 순수한 HAP에서도 관찰되었다. 그러므로 형태 변화와 열처리 후의 비표면적 감소는 열처리 중 CTAC의 제거로 생성된 기공들이 형태 변화로 인해 유지되지 않는 것으로 판단된다.

This article aimed at thermally treating and charactering the Eucalyptus grandis wood under three different temperatures. For this, pristine eucalypt samples were treated by heating in a laboratory oven at 160 ℃, 200 ℃ and 240 ℃, always for 2 h. Treatment parameters (based on weight percentage loss and specific gravity), as well as mechanical (by hardness tests), chemical (by infrared spectroscopy), thermal (by thermogravimetry), and colorimetric (by CIELab method) features were evaluated. Compared to the pristine ones, the treated woods have there was a drop in apparent density at 12 % and consecutively greater thermal stability which is probably related to a previous partial degradation of some major amorphous components (namely cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin), as suggested by the treatment parameters and infrared spectra. Besides of that, the higher the temperature treatment, the higher the loss in surface hardness and the higher the colour darkening.
