Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have been considered one of promising power sources for large scale energy storage systems (ESS) because of their excellent cycle performance and good safety. However, VRFBs still have a few challenging issues, such as poor Coulombic efficiency due to vanadium crossover between catholyte and anolyte, although recent efforts have shown promise in electrochemical performance. Herein, the vanadium complexes with various glyme ligands have been examined as active materials to suppress vanadium crossover between catholyte and anolyte, thus improving the Coulombic efficiency of VRFBs. The conventional Nafion membrane has a channel size of ca. 10 Å, whereas vanadium cation species are small compared to the Nafion membrane channel. For this reason, vanadium cations can permeate through the Nafion membrane, resulting in significant vanadium crossover during cycling, although the Nafion membrane is a kind of ion-selective membrane. In this regard, various glyme additives, such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane (monoglyme), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme), and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (tetraglyme) have been examined as complexing agents for vanadium cations to increase the size of vanadium-ligand complexes in electrolytes. Since the size of vanadium-glyme complexes is proportional to the chain length of glymes, the vanadium permeability of the Nafion membrane decreases with increasing the chain length of glymes. As a result, the vanadium complexes with tetraglyme shows the excellent electrochemical performance of VRFBs, such as stable capacity retention (90.4% after 100 cycles) and high Coulombic efficiency (98.2% over 100 cycles).

Vanadium has been known as environmental polluants resulted from the burning of fossil fuels in nature. It led to toxic responses by prooxidant activity, inducing free radicals and the accumulation in the tissues. Recently, there has been growing interest in an essential nutritional requirement of vandium and especially the treatment of diabetes. But because of its strong toxicity, thease chemicals have narrow safety margin. In order to reduce metal toxicity, and increase absorption and biological activities, metal ions such as selenium and chromium were uptaken in yeast cells. In this study, Vanadium yeast was prepared by uptaking vanadate in yeast cells. Vanadate induced hematological and biochemical changes in the experimental rat blood were inhibited by the treatments of vanadium yeast. Lipid peroxidation and catalase activity were significantly increased in kidney and liver after a single intraperitoneal injection of vanadate to rats. However, these observations were apparently reduced in the vanadium yeast treated group. Vanadium amount in blood, kidney and liver after a single intraperitoneal injection of vanadium yeast was significantly reduced than that of vanadate treated group. In conclusion, vanadium yeast uptaken vanadate in yeast cells could reduce toxic effects of vanadate.

In the present work, spheroidization of angular vanadium powders using a radio frequency (RF) thermal plasma process is investigated. Initially, angular vanadium powders are spheroidized successfully at an average particle size of $100{\mu}m$ using the RF-plasma process. It is difficult to avoid oxide layer formation on the surface of vanadium powder during the RF-plasma process. Titanium/vanadium/stainless steel functionally graded materials are manufactured with vanadium as the interlayer. Vanadium intermediate layers are deposited using both angular and spheroidized vanadium powders. Then, 17-4PH stainless steel is successfully deposited on the vanadium interlayer made from the angular powder. However, on the surface of the vanadium interlayer made from the spheroidized powder, delamination of 17-4PH occurs during deposition. The main cause of this phenomenon is presumed to be the high thickness of the vanadium interlayer and the relatively high level of surface oxidation of the interlayer.

A wide range (10 < Si/V) of mesoporous vanadium silicate molecular sieves with the MCM-41 structure have been synthesized using vanadyl sulfate as the source of vanadium and characterized by XRD, 51V MAS NMR and 29Si MAS NMR. The increase of the unit cell parameter and the decrease of Q3/Q4 ratio of 29Si spectra with the vanadium content suggest the incorporation of vanadium in the framework of MCM-41 structure. 51V MAS NMR demonstrates that vanadiums in as-synthesized V-MCM-41 are present in the chemical environment of octahedra and octahedral vanadium is decreased and tetrahedral vanadium is increased inversely with raising the calcination temperature. Though the thermal treatment in rotor of hydrated sample resulted in the change from tetrahedral environment to octahedral one and the steaming and the acid treatment affect to the chemical environment of vanadium, the spectrum similar to originally calcined sample is regenerated after recalcination. This indicates that the vanadium is belong to the framework in a relatively exposed site. The best quality XRD pattern of the product of Si/V=27 may be attributable to heterogeneous nucleation mechanism. V-MCM-41's having the Si/V ratio lower than 20 are completely collapsed after calcination.

Vanadium yeast was prepared by uptaking vanadate in yeast cells. The growth rate of yeast cells was enhanced by 1-5% glucose. While the growth rate of yeast cells was not significantly affected by YEPD containing less than 1mM vanadate, it was completely inhibited by 2.5 mM vanadate. Vanadium uptake in yeast cells was increased with increasing vanadate concentration in growth medium. Vanadate (V) was reduced to vanadyl (IV) in yeast cells associating with macromolecular compounds in cells. Oral administration of vanadium yeast significantly reduced blood glucose levels of streptozotocin treated rats same as vanadate. Vanadate and vanadium yeast similarly increased glucose oxidation in isolated adipocytes. Therefore, it was suggested that vanadium yeast could have an antidiabetic activity potency similar to that of vanadate.

Nanocomposite films were prepared by sol-gel synthesis from vanadium triisopropoxide with $poly((oxyethylene)_9$ methacrylate)-graft-poly(dimethyl siloxane), POEM-g-PDMS, producing in situ growth of vanadium oxide within the continuous ion-conducting POEM domains of micro phase-separated graft copolymer. The formation of vanadium oxide was confirmed by wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) revealed the spatially-selective incorporation of vanadium oxide in the POEM domains. Upon the incorporation of vanadium oxide, the domain periodicity of the graft copolymer monotonously increased from 17.2 to 21.0 nm at a vanadium content 14 v%, above which it remained almost invariant. The selective interaction of vanadium oxide with POEM was further verified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The nanocomposite films exhibited excellent mechanical properties $(l0^{-5}-10^{-7}dyne/cm^2)$, mostly due to the confinement of vanadium oxide in the POEM chains as well as the interfaces created by the microphase separation of the graft copolymer.

본 연구에서는 국내에 부존된 함바나듐 티탄자철석(Vanadium TitanoMagnetite, VTM)을 대상으로 환원 전처리를 이용한 바나듐 회수 공정 개발 연구를 진행하였다. 연구에 사용된 시료는 경기 포천시 관인광산에서 제공한 시료로 바나듐 품위는 0.54V₂O₅%이며, 자철석과 티탄철석이 대부분 차지하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 단일자력선별 실험결과, 자력선별만으로는 바나듐 품위 1.10V₂O₅%대가 한계임을 확인하였다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 탄소(C)를 이용, 자철석 내에 존재하는 철을 환원시켜 철 내부에 존재하는 바나듐을 농축, 품위를 향상시키고자 하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 환원 전처리를 적용한 자력선별 공정을 개발하였으며 최종적으로 V₂O₅기준으로 품위 1.31%, 회수율 79.68%인 바나듐 정광을 회수할 수 있었다. 또한 환원 전과 후, 최종 바나듐 정광에 대한 XRD 분석을 실시하여 환원 전처리에 의한 바나듐의 거동을 확인하였다.

Modified technique in calculating the dipole moments for square pyramidal complexes has been developed and then the dipole moments for bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ) complexes are calculated, adopting this approach. The calculated dipole moments for bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ) in benzene and bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium in dioxane solutions are in agreement with the observed values. The calculated dipole moments of bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ) in dioxane solution is slightly higher than that of bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ) in benzene. Such a result may suggest that bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ) interact with dioxane molecule to form bisacetylacetonato(oxo)vanadium(Ⅳ)-dioxane adduct. This calculated dipole moments are also in agreement with the experimental results.
