$LiCoO_2$ powder was synthesized in an aqueous solution by a sol-gel method and used as a cathode active material for a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The layered $LiCoO_2$ powders were prepared by igniting in air for 12 hrs at 600 ℃ $(600-LiCoO_2)$ and 850 ℃ $(850-LiCoO_2)$. The structure of the $LiCoO_2$ powder was assigned to the space group R bar 3 m (lattice parameters a=2.814 Å and c=14.04Å). The SEM pictures of $600-LiCoO_2$ revealed homogeneous and fine particles of about 1 μm in diameter. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode displayed a set of redox peaks at 3.80/4.05 V due to the intercalation/deintercalation of the lithium ions into/out of the $LiCoO_2$ structure. CVs for the $850-LiCoO_2$ electrode had a major set of redox peaks at 3.88/4.13 V, and two small set of redox peaks at 4.18/4.42 V and 4.05/4.25 V due to phase transitions. The initial charge-discharge capacity was 156-132 mAh/g for the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode and 158-131 mAh/g for the $850-LiCoO_2$ electrode at the current density of 0.2 mA/cm2. The cycleability of the cell consisting of the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode was better than that of the $850-LiCoO_2$. The diffusion coefficient of the $Li^+$ ion in the $600-LiCoO_2$ electrode was calculated as $4.6{\times}10^{-8}\; cm^2/sec$.

An attempt was made to derive a possible synthetic mechanism of Fluoro-phlogopite (Mica, 4Mg.$Al_2O_3$.$6SiO_2$.$K_2O$.$2MgF_2$) The pevention of fluorine vaporization turned out to be the key in the synthesis of Mica in question.l Consequently the quinary system of Mica was seperately synthesized ; frist 4MgO.$Al_2O_3-6SiO_2$(ternary system) was sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$ and $K_2O$ and $MgF_2$ were added and second 4MgO.$Al_2O_3-6SiO_2$.$K_2O$ (quarternary system) was heat-treated at 135$0^{\circ}C$ and $MgF_2$ was added. The ternary system resulted in Proto-enstatite Cordierite and Spinel phases while Forsterite and Leucite were shown in the quarternay system . In both methods Fluoro-phlogopite was systhesized but the solid state reactions to form Mica from the ternary system and the quarternary system were different. High temperature reactions in the formation of Mica were investigated employing XRD, DTA and SEM The study of the synthesis of Mica indirectly suggested a method of phase analysis of quinary system(MgO-$Al_2O_3-SiO_2-K_2O-MgF_2$) and quarternary system(MgO-$Al_2O_3-SiO_2-K_2O-MgF_2$) at various temperatures.

The stability of ZnO-$Pr_{6}O_{11}$-CoO-$Cr_{2}O_{3}-Dy_{2}O_3$ based varistors with d.c. stress were investigated. ZnO varistor doped with 4.0 mol% $Dy_{2}O_3$ exhibited the highest nonlinear exponet, but stability was very poor because of low density. In particular, the varistor containing 0.5 mol% $Dy_{2}O_3$ showed very excellent V-I characteristic, which the nonlinear exponent was 67.39 and leakage current was 1.18 ${\mu}A$, and high stability.

Co and Ni as catalysts in $SnO_2$ sensors to improve the sensitivity for $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas were coated by a solution reduction method. $SnO_2$ thick films were prepared by a screen-printing method onto $Al_2O_3$ substrates with an electrode. The sensing characteristics were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in a chamber. The structural properties of $SnO_2$ with a rutile structure investigated by XRD showed a (110) dominant $SnO_2$ peak. The particle size of the $SnO_2$:Ni powders with Ni at 6 wt% was about 0.1 ${\mu}m$. The $SnO_2$ particles were found to contain many pores according to a SEM analysis. The sensitivity of $SnO_2$-based sensors was measured for 5 ppm of $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air to that in the target gases. The results showed that the best sensitivity of $SnO_2$:Ni and $SnO_2$:Co sensors for $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature was observed in $SnO_2$:Ni sensors coated with 6 wt% Ni. The $SnO_2$:Ni gas sensors showed good selectivity to $CH_4$ gas. The response time and recovery time of the $SnO_2$:Ni gas sensors for the $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases were 20 seconds and 9 seconds, respectively.

The effects of $V_2O_5$ addition as an additive on the densification, the microstructure and the magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrites were studied. The maximum density was observed at 0.1 wt% $V_2O_5$ content and it was recognized that a small content of $V_2O_5$ prohibited the discontinuous grain growth. The initial permeability showed maximum at 0.1 wt% $V_2O_5$ content and the power loss minimum at 0.03 wt% $V_2O_5$ content. It was found that a small content of $V_2O_5$ went into solid solution in the Mn-Zn ferrites, but above that extent $V_2O_5$ formed a second phase to be segregated at the grain boundaries.

This study was carried out to determine the reaction kinetic constant of the dehydration - thermal decomposition of $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O/Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}5H_2O$ and to investigate the durability during the repeated use of a chemical heat-storage material and the reproducibility of reaction system. The order of the dehydration reaction was 1st-order. The reaction rate was directly proportional to a partial pressure difference of water steam. The kinetic constant was 0.27 and the reproducibility of dehydration reaction for a kinetic constant and a reaction order was excellent. The activity variation in the durability test of a chemical heat-storage material was within range of ${\pm}5%$ during the repeatedly use in several times.

용액분무법으로 RuO2 박막을 석영 기판위에 성장시켰다. RuO2 박막의 결정구조는 정방 구조이 며 격자상수 a0=4.508 A, c0=3.092 A 이였다. RuO2 박막은 금속성 전도성을 나타냈다. RuO2박마의 광흡 수도는 후열처리함에 따라 증가하였고 박막의 광흡수도의 최소값은 후열처리 온도에 의존하지 않으며 에너지로 환산하면 ∼2.0eV로 거의 일정하였다. RuO2 박막의 후열처리의 온도와 후열처리 분위기가 기 판위에 성장된 RuO2 박막의 표면형태 grain 크기 grain 경계폭 전기적특성등에 영향을 미쳤다. RuO2 박 막이 실험실내의 공기중에 노출됨으로서 시료의 표면에 S와 C가 물리 흡착되었으며 sputtering 시간이 증가함에 따라 Ar+ 이온 빔의 충겨으로 RuO2가 부분적으로 환원되어 O원자의 피크 대 피크 높이가 감 소하여 O/Ru 의피크 높이의 비가 낮게 관측되었다.

The fabrication Process of $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites by pressureless infiltration technique and the effects of additive Mg content and volume fraction of particulate reinforcement on mechanical and wear properties were investigated. It was found that the bending strength decreased with increasing volume fraction of $Al_2O_{3p}$ particles. Whereas hardness increased with volume fraction of $Al_2O_{3p}$ particles. The decrement of strength in case of high volume fraction of $Al_2O_{3p}$ particles was attributed to high porosity level. In terms of additive Mg content, $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites containing around 5~7wt% of additive Mg indicated the highest strength, and hardness values increased with additive Mg contents. Wear resistance of AC8A alloy were improved by reinforcement of $Al_2O_{3p}$ particles especially at high sliding velocity. Wear property of $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites and AC8A alloy exhibited different aspects. $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites indicated more wear loss than AC8A alloy at slow velocity region. However a transition point of wear loss was found at middle velocity region which shows the minimum wear loss and wear loss at high velocity region exhibited almost same value as at slow velocity region, whereas wear loss of AC8A alloy almost linearly increased with sliding velocity. It was found that $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites containing $Al_2O_{3p}$ volume fraction of 20% exhibited abrasive wear surface regardless of sliding velocity and $Al_2O_{3p}$/AC8A composites containing $Al_2O_{3p}$ volume fraction of 40% showed slightly adhesive wear surface at low sliding velocity, and it progressed to severe wear as increasing the sliding velocity.
