On the condition of adequate air supply, complete removal of carbon monoxide,occurred above $650^{\circ}C$. Using catalysts, the oxidation of carbon monoxide occurred at lower temperatures; on both $MnO_2 \;and\;30%\;MnO_2-70%\;CuO\;at\;250{\circ}C,\;on\;CuO\;at\;450{\circ}C,\;on\;50%\;MnO_2-50%\;CuO\;at\;200{\circ}C,\;and\;on\;70%\;MnO_2-30%\;CuO\;at\;180{\circ}C$. Manganese dioxide (p-type) showed higher activity than cupric oxide (n-type) and a catalyst consisting of 60% $MnO_2-40%$ CuO had the highest activity of all the $MnO_2$-CuO mixture. Over the range of transitional temperature, carbon monoxide removal efficiency decreased linearly with increasing inlet carbon monoxide concentration while temperature was fixed. Residence time of gases in the catalytic reactor, in the range of 0.9 to 1.8 seconds, gave no effect on carbon monoxide conversion.

$[Mn_{12}O_{12}(O_2CPh-4-SMe)_{16}(H_2O)_4]{\cdot}7CH_2Cl_2$ (1), a new single-molecule magnet complex has been successfully synthesized by substitution of acetate ligand of Mn12ac with 4-(methylthio)benzoic acid. Complex 1 crystallizes into triclinic P$\overline{1}$ with a = 18.321(3) $\AA$, b = 19.011(3) $\AA$, c = 27.230(4) $\AA$, $\alpha$ = 86.973(3)$^{\circ}$, $\beta$ = 76.919(3)$^{\circ}$, $\gamma$ = 87.613(3)$^{\circ}$, and Z = 2. In complex 1, one Mn(III) ion has an abnormal Jahn-Teller elongation axis oriented at an oxide ion. Complex 1 has two out-of-phase ac susceptibility peaks in the 2-4 K and 4-7 K regions. Effective anisotropy energy barrier and pre-exponential factor are $U_{eff}$ = 45.95 K, 1/$\tau$0 = 8.6 ${\times}\;10^9s^{-1}\;for\;{\chi}_M$'' peaks in the lower temperature region and $U_{eff}$ = 59.45 K, 1/$\tau_0$ = 2.2 ${\times}\;10^8\;s^{-1}$ for $\chi_M$'' peaks in the higher temperature region. The parameters of S = 10, g = 1.87, D = -0.40 $cm^{-1}$, and E = 0.00034 $cm^{-1}$ were obtained from the M/N${\mu}_B$ vs. H/T plot of complex 1.

Screen-printing and doctor blade method were investigated and proposed as an electrode coating process for high power capacitor. CV measured from the amorphous $MnO_2$ electrode prepared by screen-printing shows closer to ideal capacitor characteristics. Specific capacitances calculated from CVs with potential scan rate of 50mV/s were 5.8, 81.8, and 172.0 F/g for electrode thickness of $140{\mu}m,\;24{\mu}m,\; 3{\mu}m$, respectively. Assumed that utilization of active $MnO_2$ in electrode of screen-printing is $100\%$, those were $3.4\%$ in one of paste method and $47.6\%$ in one of doctor blade method. The screen-printing can be good technique to coat thin film on current collector for high power application.

The objective of this work Is to design, fabricate, and characterize pseudo-capacitor using amorphous $MnO_2\;nH_2O$ electrode material. The cyclic voltammogram under 100mV/s scan rate of the material shows the electrochemically stable potential window of 1V and the specific capacitance of 250F/g. The TDMA pulse test result indicates that the TDMA system (2 parallel-pseudo-capacitor systems) has the ohmic voltage drop of 0.22V and the capacitor voltage drop of 0.38V. The total voltage drop of the TDMA system is 0.60V and less than 1V of which value is the maximum voltage drop requirement or the TDMA satellite phone. Also, the TDMA system had the ESR of $55m{\Omega}$ and the capacitance of 105mF. Therefore, it is confirmed that the TDMA system has the application feasibility as load-leveling capacitor for the satellite phone.

In order to improve the specific capacitance of amorphous hydrous manganese oxide ($MnO_2$) for supercapacitors, it is made into composites with vapour-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCF) having the VGCF ratio as 40 wt% in the composites. The electrochemical properties of these composites are investigated in 1.0 M $Na_2SO_4$ by cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance measurements and chronopotentiometric charger/discharger. The composite with 40 wt% VGCF shows the superior electrochemical performance, whose specific capacitance (based on the mass of $MnO_2$, $0.8mg/cm^2$) is 380 F/g at 20 mV/s and 230 F/g at 500 mV/s. Also, the cycle-life testing of this electrode carried out for 3,000 charge/discharge cycles at $2.0mA/cm^2$ shows 97% capacitance retention.

Amorphous $MnO_{2}{\cdot}nH_{2}O$ in 1M KOH aqueous electrolyte proves to be an excellent electrode for a faradic electrochemical capacitor cycled between -0.5 and +1.0 versus Ag/AgCl. The effect of thermal treatment on the crystalinity, particle structure, and corresponding electrochemical properties of the resulting xerogel remained amorphous as Mn(OH)2 up to 160$^{\circ}C$. With an increase in the temperature above 200$^{\circ}C$, both the surface area and pore volume decreased sharply, because the amorphous Mn(OH)2 decomposed to form MnO that was subsequently oxidized to form crystalline Mn3O4. In addition, the changes in the crystallinity, and particle structure all had significant but coupled effects on the electrochemical properties of the xerogels. A maximum capacitance of 160.6F/g was obtained for an electrode prepared with the MnOx Xerogel calcined at 150$^{\circ}C$, which was consistent with the maxima exhibited in both the surface area and pore volume. This capacitance was attributed solely to a surface redox mechanism.

We have studied the effects of oxygen partial pressure change on the physical properties of the $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3$ thin films grown by Pulsed laser Deposition. Contrary to the previous reports, thin films of high curie temperature were successfully synthesized at very low oxygen partial pressure ($1.0{\times}10^{-5}$, $1.0{\times}10^{-6}Torr$). These observations indicate that the shape of plasma plume and the kinetic energy of the ablated species in it play an important role in determining the quality of samples. We also fabricated p-n heterojunction of $La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3$ and Nb-doped $SrTiO_3$. The current-voltage curves show rectifying behavior and, furthermore, the current responses to the applied magnetic field, indicating a potential possibility of device applications.

As part of preliminary study for development of 1,200 N-class bipropellant rocket engine with the concentrated hydrogen peroxide, bipropellant engine elements were designed and experimentally tested. The catalysts of $MnO_2$ and $MnO_2$ added Pb as an addictive were compared to achieve high decomposition performance and the catalytic reactor with $MnO_2$ added Pb was designed and its decomposition efficiency of 97.2% was achieved. The autoignition tests of kerosene by decomposed hydrogen peroxide were carried out under various equivalence ratios to ignite without additional ignition sources. Autoignition were achieved in all experimental conditions and $C^*$ efficiencies at each condition were at or above 90%. From the measured thrust results, the highest value was 830 N which is in corresponds with 1,035 N at vacuum level using 94.1% theoretical $I_{sp}$.

New wet chemical method so called precipitation-evaporation method was suggested for preparing spinel structure lithium manganese oxide ($LiMn_2$$O_4$) for Li ion secondary battery. Using precipitation-evaporation method, $LiMn_2$$O_4$ cathode materials suitable for Li ion secondary batteries can be synthesized. Single spinel phase $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder was synthesized at lower temperature compared to that of prepared by solid-state method. $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder prepared by precipitation-evaporation method showed uniform, small size and well defined crystallinity particles. Li ion secondary battery using $LiMn_2$$O_4$ as cathode materials prepared by precipitation-evaporation method and calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ showed discharge capacity of 106.03mAh/g and discharge capacity of 95.60mAh/g at 10th cycle. Although Li ion secondary battery showed somewhat smaller initial capacity but good cyclic ability. It is suggested that electro-chemical properties can be improved by controlling particle characteristics by particle morphology modification during calcination and optimizing Li ion secondary battery assembly conditions.

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor was applied to the removal of ethylene from a simulated storage facility ($1.0m^3$) of fruits and vegetables. The system operated in a closed-loop mode by feeding the contaminated gas to the plasma reactor and recirculating the treated gas back to the storage facility. The experiments were carried out with parameters such as discharge power, circulation flow rate, initial ethylene concentration and treatment time. The rate of ethylene decomposition was mainly controlled by the discharge power and the treatment time. With the other conditions kept constant, the ethylene decomposition rate in the presence of the manganese oxide ozone control catalyst installed downstream from the plasma reactor was lower than that in the absence of it. The suggests that unreacted ozone from the plasma reactor accumulated in the storage facility where it additionally decomposed ethylene. On the basis of an initial ethylene concentration of 50 ppm, the energy requirement for completing the decomposition was about 60 kJ.
