Antibacterial glass ceramics composed of $5Li_2O{\cdot}36CaO{\cdot}20TiO_2{\cdot}27P_2O_5$ were Prepared. After ion exchange in the $AgNO_3$solution, crystallization phases were $AgTi_2(PO_4)_3$, $LiTi_2(PO_4)_3$ and $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$. In case of ion exchange, the crystallization phases started to be transformed from $LiTi_2(PO_4)_3$ to $AgTi_2(PO_4)_3$in 0.5 mole $AgNO_3$ solution and the transformation was almost completed in 1.0 mole. ion exchange rate of glass-ceramics powder, considering ion exchange time, was more fast than that of bulk. The bacteriostatic effect of the glass-ceramics on Staphyloroccus aureus and Salmonella typhi bacteria was more excellent than that of glass when the crystallization phase was transformed from LTP to AgTP.

Na-ion batteries are being considered as promising cost-effective energy storage devices for the future compared to Li-ion batteries owing to the crustal abundance of Na-ion. However, the large radius of the Na ion result in sluggish electrode kinetics that leads to poor electrochemical performance, which prohibits the use of these batteries in real time application. Therefore, identification and optimization of the anode, cathode, and electrolyte are essential for achieving high-performance Na-ion batteries. In this context, the current review discusses the suitable high-voltage cathode materials for Na-ion batteries. According to a recent research survey, sodium vanadium fluorophosphate (NVPF) compounds have been emphasized for use as a high-voltage Na-ion cathode material. Among the fluorophosphate groups, $Na_3V_2(PO_4)_2F_3$ exhibited the high theoretical capacity ($128mAh\;g^{-1}$) and working voltage (~3.9 V vs. $Na/Na^+$) compared to the other fluorophosphates and $Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3$. Here, we have also highlighted the classification of Fluorophosphates, NVPF composite with carbonaceous materials, the appropriate synthesis methods and how these methods can enhance the electrochemical performance. Finally, the recent developments in NVPF for the application in energy storage devices and its outlook are summarized.

$Cl^-$ 형태의 음이온 교환 수지를 이용하여 오쏘인산 이온의 제거에 관한 연구를 수행하여, 오쏘인산의 형태에 따른 이온 교환 메커니즘을 살펴보았다. 또한, 알칼리도의 영향 및 타 이온의 영향을 조사하였다. 유입수에 포함된 오쏘인산 이온의 산화수가 2와 3인 화학종($HPO{_4}^{2-}$ and $PO{_4}^{3-}$)의 경우, 이온 교환 반응을 통해 완전히 제거되었으나, 1가 화학종($H_2PO_4{^-}$)인 경우는 음이온 교환 수지에 대한 친화도가 $Cl^-$ 이온과 경쟁적으로 작용하여 부분적인 제거만 이루어졌다. 이온 교환 반응을 거친 유출수의 pH는 유입수에 포함된 오쏘인산 이온의 당량에 해당하는 $Cl^-$ 이온이 유출수에 포함된 것을 근거로 계산한 수치에 비해 상당히 낮은 pH 값을 나타내었다. 이는 1가 이온은 2가 이온으로, 2가 이온은 3가 이온으로 변환되어 이온 교환되었기 때문으로 해석할 수 있었다. 알칼리도가 증가할 경우, pH 강하는 최소화되었다, 알칼리도가 100 mg/L ($CaCO_3$) 이상일 경우, 100 mg/L의 오쏘인산 이온($H_2PO_4{^-}$ 이온 포함)을 용액에서 모든 오쏘인산 이온이 제거되었다. 수용액에 포함된 $SO{_4}^{2-}$와 $NO_3{^-}$ 이온은 오쏘인산 이온과 함께 제거가 되었으며, 이에 해당하는 만큼 이온 교환 용량이 감소되었다.

This study examines the effects of a carbon coating on the electrochemical performances of $LiFePO_4$. The results show that the capacity of bare $LiFePO_4$ decreased sharply, whereas the $LiFePO_4$/C shows a well maintained initial capacity. The Li ion diffusivity of the bare and carbon coated $LiFePO_4$ is calculated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) to determine the correlation between the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ and Li diffusion. The diffusion constants for $LiFePO_4$ and $LiFePO_4$/C measured from CV are $6.56{\times}10^{-16}$ and $2.48{\times}10^{-15}\;cm^2\;s^{-1}$, respectively, indicating considerable increases in diffusivity after modifications. The Li ion diffusivity (DLi) values as a function of the lithium content in the cathode are estimated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effects of the carbon coating as well as the mechanisms for the improved electrochemical performances after modification are discussed based on the diffusivity data.

The electrochemical properties of Mg-doped $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ and pure $LiFe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}PO_4$ olivine cathodes are examined and the lattice parameters are refined by Rietveld analysis. The calculated atomic parameters from the refinement show that $Mg^{2+}$ doping has a significant effect in the olivine $LiFeMnPO_4$ structure. The unit cell volume is 297.053(2) ${\AA}^3$ for pure $LiFe_{0.5}Mn_{0.5}PO_4$ and is decreased to 296.177(1) ${\AA}^3$ for Mg-doped $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ sample. The doping of $Mg^{2+}$ cation with atomic radius smaller than $Mn^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ ion induces longer Li-O bond length in $LiO_6$ octahedra of the olivine structure. The larger interstitial sites in $LiO_6$ octahedra facilitate the lithium ion migration and also enhance the diffusion kinetics of olivine cathode material. The $LiFe_{0.48}Mn_{0.48}Mg_{0.04}PO_4$ sample with larger Li-O bond length delivers higher discharge capacities and also notably increases the rate capability of the electrode.

In this article, we report the effect of blended cathode materials on the performance of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASLBs) with oxide-based organic/inorganic hybrid electrolytes. LiFePO₄ material is good candidates as cathode material in PEO-based solid electrolytes because of their low operating potential of 3.4 V; however, LiFePO₄ suffers from low electric conductivity and low Li ion diffusion rate across the LiFePO₄/FePO₄ interface. Particularly, monoclinic Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (LVP) is a well-known high-power-density cathode material due to its rapid ionic diffusion properties. Therefore, the structure, cycling stability, and rate performance of the blended LiFePO₄/Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ cathode material in ASLBs with oxidebased inorganic/organic-hybrid electrolytes are investigated by using powder X-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller sorption experiments, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic measurements.

Carbon-coated $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3-LiMnPO_4$ composite cathode materials are first reported in this work, prepared by the mechanochemical process with a complex metal oxide as the precursor and sucrose as the carbon source. X-ray diffraction pattern of the composite material indicates that both olivine $LiMnPO_4$ and monoclinic $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$ co-exist. We further investigated the electrochemical properties of our $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3-LiMnPO_4$ composite cathode materials using galvanostatic charging/discharging tests, where our $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3-LiMnPO_4$ composite electrode materials exhibit the charge/discharge efficiency of 91.9%, while $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$ and $LiMnPO_4$ exhibit the efficiency of 87.7 and 86.7% in the first cycle. The composites display unique electrochemical performances in terms of overvoltage and cycle stability, displaying a reduced gap of 141.6 mV between charge and discharge voltage and 95.0% capacity efficiency after $15^{th}$ cycles.

$P_2O_5$ 함량에 따른 $5Na_2O-36CaO-10TiO_2-xP_2O_5$으로 구성된 glass-ceramic을 다음과 같은 방법으로 제조하였다: 1) 1 N HCl 용액 내에서 $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$와 $NaTi_2(PO_4)_3$ 간의 $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ 결정을 2일간 추출하여 제거함. 2) Ag($NO_3$) 용액에서 1일간 $Na^+$ 이온을 $Ag^+$ 이온으로 이온 교환시킴. Glass-ceramic의 합성 여부를 SEM 및 XRD를 이용하여 확인하였다. Staphylococus aureus를 이용한 박테리아 실험 결과 3시간 이후에는 완전하게 박테리아가 제거됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

PP-g-AA 부직포의 양이온교환기능성 카르복실기(-COOH)를 DETA를 사용하여 화학적 개질반응을 통해 아민기($-NH_2$)를 도입한 음이온교환성 PP-g-AA-Am 부직포를 합성하였다. PP-g-AA-Am 부직포에 대한 회분식 흡착실험을 통하여 흡착등온, 흡착평형 및 공존이온 영향을 살펴보았다. $PO_4$-P의 흡착거동은 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 일치하였으며 흡착에너지는 10.3 kJ/mol로 $PO_4$-P의 흡착과정을 이온교환 반응으로 설명할 수 있었다. 음이온이 같은 몰농도로 혼합된 용액에서 PP-g-AA-Am 부직포의 이온 경쟁력은 $SO_4\;^{2-}$>$PO_4\;^{3-}$>$NO_3\;^-$>$NO_2\;^-$ 순이었다. 또한 PP-g-AA-Am 부직포는 모든 실험에서 이온교환수지인 PA308보다 $PO_4$-P의 흡착능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Over the past few years, $LiFePO_4$ has been actively studied as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its advantageous properties such as high theoretical capacity, good cycle life, and high thermal stability. However, it does not have a very good power capability owing to the low lithium-ion diffusivity and poor electronic conductivity. Reduction in particle size of $LiFePO_4$ to the scale of nanometers has been found to dramatically enhance the above properties, according to many earlier reports. However, because of the intrinsically low tap density of nanomaterials, it is difficult to commercialize this method. Many studies are being carried out to improve the volumetric energy density of this material and many methods have been reported so far. This paper provides a brief summary of the synthesis methods and electrochemical performances of micro-spherical $LiFePO_4$ having high volumetric energy density.
