Thermal batteries are primary reserve batteries that use inorganic salt as electrolytes which are inactive at room temperature. The two principal heat sources that have been used in thermal batteries are heat paper and heat pellets. As soon as the heat paper, which is ignited by the initiator, in turn ignites the heat pellets, all the solid electrolytes are melted into excellent ionic conductors. However, the high combustion temperature by heat papers in thermal batteries causes thermal decomposition at the cathode, eventually leading to a thermal runaway. In this paper, we have attempted to prepare $Zr/BaCrO_4$ heat papers coated with KCl molten salt. We have also investigated the effect of a molten salt coating on the heat papers through the thermal characteristics such as calorimetric value, combustion temperature and burning rate. The calorimetric value and combustion temperature of heat papers were reduced with an increase in the molten salt coating. As a result, the molten salt coating on heat papers greatly reduced risk of a thermal runaway and improved the stability of thermal batteries.

We analyzed the patterns of mineral ions and growth responses among symbiotic nitrogen fixing legumes by external nitrogen applications under salt gradients. Glycine max, Phaseolus angularis and Albizzia julibrissin showed remarkable growth inhibition above 40 mM NaCl treatments, but Cassia tora did not exhibit any visible injury symptom up to 100 mM NaCl treatments. As to ionic pattern, the $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$contents in leaves of G. max, P. angularis and A. julibrissin progressively increased with higher contents of external salinity. Compared to other plants, C. tora excluded $Na^+$more efficiently and maintained rather constant ionic contents in spite of high salt levels. With a few exception, these 4 legume plants exhibited better growth by the external nitrogen supply rather than the contribution of symbiotic nitrogen fixation only under saline condition.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are now broadly understood as a new kind of ionic liquid (IL) because they exhibit many characteristics and properties similar with ILs. The DESs made of quaternary ammonium salt blended with one of hydrogen bonding donor (HBD) compounds behave as ILs even at very low temperature. In this study, properties such as density, viscosity, surface tension, conductivity, and electrochemical behavior of DESs were reported and their applications were reviewed. Study on DESs has been drawn attention on application in metal finishing, but these solvents can be used in a variety of synthesis, and their potentials have been demonstrated in various areas. DESs are expected to offer applicability by extending the types of salts and hydrogen bond donor mixtures.

A series of organoboron polymer electrolytes were prepared and their ion conductive characteristics was investigated in detail. Alkylborane type polymer electrolytes prepared by hydroboration polymerization exhibited improve lithium transference number due to efficient anion trapping of alkylborane unit. A lithium borate type polymer/salt hybrid was also successfully prepared by dehydrocoupling polymerization of lithium mesitylhydrorate. Ionic conductivity of single ion conductive polymer/salt hybrid was further improved in the case of comb like polymer/boron stabilized imido anion hybrid prepared via polymer reaction of poly(organoboron halide) with hexylamine and PEO monomethylether and subsequent neutralization with lithium hydride.

In this study, the correlation between leakage currents and temperature rise was investigated for the more accurate diagnosis of bad insulator by use of the infrared camera. For the purpose, leakage currents and thermal images were measured for the artificially aged insulators using salt fog. From the results, it is concluded as follows ; in case of artificially aged insulators, the leakage. current was decreased with the duration of voltage application and was largely affected by humidity, which seems due to ionic conduction. Also, the correlation between temperature rise and leakage current was appeared to be quite linear, although it showed below linearity at large leakage current.

The aerosol ionic composition of P $M_{2.5}$ measured at Gosan, Jeju Island, Korea, for 4 years between March 1998 and February 2002 are presented and discussed. The annual mean concentration of non- sea-salt sulfate (nss -S $O_4$$^{2-}$) and ammonium (N $H_4$$^{+}$) ions are high (0.094 $\mu$eq/㎥, and 0.085 $\mu$eq/㎥, respectively). Also, nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $H_4$$^{+}$ show high correlation (0.892). The concentrations of most ions are high in springtime. As the result of factor analysis, Gosan area mainly affected by sea-salt, anthropogenic species, and crustal species.ies.

There are many efforts to improve electrolytes to satisfy the requirements of a lithium rechargeable battery. We have investigated a binary solvent mixture containing the electrolyte lithium salt($LiBF_4$, $LiPF_6$), that is conductive and electrochemically stable. Ionic conductivities were measured between -5 and $80^{\circ}C$, and cyclic voltammetry between 2.5 and 4.3 V were measured by SUS or platinum electrode.

The rheological properties of exopolysaccharide(EPS-R) produced by marine bacteria Hahella chjuensis KCTC 2395 was investigated. EPS-R solution showed a characteristic non-Newtonian behavior fluid properties. In aqueose dispersions of EPS-R 1%, consistency index(K) and flow behavior index(n) were 1,410 cp and 0.73. EPS-R solution was pseudoplastic fluid by power-low model. Rheological propertie of EPS-R was found to be influenced by the concentration of salt, pH, temperature and ionic compounds.

ion conducting polymers have been extensively investigated because of their potential application as an electrolyte in solid state batteries [1]. Among the polymer electrolytes, solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) composed of ion conducting polymer and alkali metal salt have many advantages such as high ionic conductivity, high energy density and light weight. This made them suitable replacement for liquid electrolytes. (omitted)
