The reaction of bromoacetonitrile with 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatetracyclo[$16.4.1^{2.6}.0^{1.18}.0^{7.12}$]tricosane ($L^{10}$) containing a N-$CH_2$-N linkage produces 17-cyanomethyl-3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatetracyclo-[$16.4.1^{2.6}.0^{1.18}.0^{7.12}$]tricosane ($L^{11}$). The mono-N-functionalized macrocyclic complexes $[ML^2]^{2+}$ (M = Ni(II) or Cu(II); $L^2$ = 2-cyanomethyl-5,16-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[$16.4.0.0^{7.12}$]docosane) can be prepared by the reaction of $L^{11}$ with nickel(II) or copper(II) ion in acetonitrile. The N-$CH_2CN$ group attached to $[ML^2]^{2+}$ readily reacts with water or methanol to yield the corresponding complexes of $HL^3$ bearing one N-$CH_2CONH_2$ pendant arm or $L^4$ bearing one $N-CH_2C(=NH)OCH_3$ group. The $N-CH_2CONH_2$ or $N-CH_2C(=NH)OCH_3$ group of each complex is coordinated to the central metal ion. Both $[NiL^4(H_2O)]^{2+}$ and $[CuL^4]^{2+}$ are quite stable in acidic aqueous solutions, but undergo hydrolysis to yield $[Ni(HL^3)(H_2O)]^{2+}$ or $[Cu(HL^3)]^{2+}$ in basic aqueous solutions. In contrast to $[Cu(HL^3)]^{2+}$, $[Ni(HL^3) (H_2O)]^{2+}$ is readily deprotonated to form $[NiL^3 (H_2O)]^+$ ($L^3$ = a deprotonated form of $HL^3$) in basic aqueous solutions.

Electrochemical characterization and thermal stability were investigated for MgF₂ coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ cathode. The ratio of MgF₂ was controlled by 0.5, 1, 3 wt%. Cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge profiles, rate capability, cycle life were measured for electrochemical properties. DSC analysis was measured for thermal stability. The first discharge capacities of MgF₂ coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ were decreased at 0.1C-rate compared to pristine LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂. But the rate capability and cycle life of MgF₂ coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ were improved at 2C-rate. In DSC analysis result, the exothermic temperature of MgF₂ coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂ was increased and peak height was decreased.

Catalytic oxidation of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) using regenerated metal oxide catalysts (ZnO-CuO, NiO, $Fe_2O_3$, ZnO, CrO) were investigated in a fixed bed flow reactor to evaluate their feasibility for the purpose of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Four kinds of pre-treatment methods such as gas (air and hydrogen), acid aqueous solution, alkali aqueous solution and cleaning agent were used to find out the optimal regeneration conditions. The physico-chemical properties of the used and regenerated catalysts were characterized by BET and TPR (Temperature Programmed Reduction). The used catalysts showed high conversion ratio and the catalytic ability of toluene oxidation was in the order of ZnO-CuO>$Fe_2O_3$>NiO>ZnO>CrO. We found that the acid aqueous pre-treatment (0.1 N HNO$_3$) was the best way to enhance the catalytic activity of $Fe_2O_3$. In addition, air and hydrogen gas treatment were optimal for NiO and ZnO-CuO catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, the decomposition of BTX depends on the type of a catalyst and a gas molecule.

$Al_2O_3$/NiO powder was obtained through hydrolysis-condensation reactions and thermal treatments. An organic additive, triblock copolymer surfactant P123, was added to the starting materials to control the surface area and morphology. The synthesized powder was characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and a Brunner-Emmett-Teller surface analysis (BET). The heterogeneous catalytic activity of this powder was applied to an epoxidation reaction of styrene and was monitored using a gas chromatograph with mass spectrophotometry (GC/MS).

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a major primary indoor air pollutant with various adverse effects on the human body, includingsuch as sick building syndrome, lung cancer, and nasal cancer. Therefore, gas sensors for effective HCHO detection detecting HCHO are crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environments, and research is being conducted to develop high-performance sensors for this purpose. AnOne of the effective methods for enhancing the to enhance sensing properties is involves modifying the p-n heterojunction structure, which improves sensing through via electronic sensitization based on the expanded depletion region and chemical sensitization that dissociates specific gases. In this studyHerein, weWe fabricated NiO-decorated In₂O₃ NRs using an e-beam evaporator based on the glancing angle deposition technique by optimizing the NiO thickness (0, 1, 2, and 3 nm). When exposed to 50 ppm HCHO, NiO-decorated In₂O₃ NRs showed a 3.91%-fold enhancement in the gas response (Ra/Rg-1= 23.9) and a 41.47% faster response time (40.7 s) than-compared to bare In₂O₃ NRs with an extremely low theoretical detection limit of ≈approximately 9.3 ppb.

The structural and thermal stability of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ electrode during cycling process was studied. The sample was prepared by simple combustion method. Although there were irreversible changes on the initial cycle, O3 stacking for $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ structure was retained during the first and subsequent cycling process. Impedance of the test cell was decreased after the first charge-discharge process, which would be of benefit to intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ion on subsequent cycling. As expected, cycling test for 75 times increased impedance of the cell a little, instead, thermal stability of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ was improved. Moreover, based on DSC analysis, the initial exothermic peak was shifted to high temperature range and the amount of heat was also decreased after cycling test, which displayed that thermal stability was not deteriorated during cycling.

$Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$, $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$, 및 $TiO_2-ZrO_2$ 혼합 산화물을 지지체로 한 Ni 기반 혼합 산화물을 졸-겔법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 혼합 산화물은 1173K에서 열처리 한 후 구조적 특성 변화를 전자현미경 및 X-선 회절 분석을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 수소를 이용한 승온 환원(TPR; temperature-programmed reduction) 실험을 통하여 1173K 까지 각 시료들의 환원 피크를 비교 고찰하였다. $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 가 혼합된 시료의 경우 1173K 에서의 열처리 후 니켈 알루미네이트 또는 니켈 티타네이트와 같은 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되었으나 $ZrO_2$가 혼합된 경우에는 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되지 않았다. TPR 결과에 의하면, $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$를 혼합된 시료의 경우 벌크 NiO의 TPR 결과와는 달리 생성된 새로운 결정상에 기인한 여러 개의 환원 피크가 나타났으나 $ZrO_2$를 혼합한 경우 벌크 NiO와 비슷한 환원 피크를 보였다. TPR 결과를 기초로 Arrhenius plot 으로부터 각 혼합 산화물들의 수소 환원 활성화 에너지를 도출하였다. $ZrO_2$를 지지체로 사용하는 경우 다른 혼합 산화물들보다 지지체로서 안정한 혼합 산화물상을 형성한다는 것을 지시하듯이 상대적으로 가장 낮은 활성화 에너지를 나타냈다.

Ag doping effect on $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ cathode material was studied. Specially, we focused on rate performance of Ag doped samples. The $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ powder was prepared by simple combustion method and the Ag was doped using $AgNO_3$ during gelation process. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, there was no structural change by Ag doping, but the 'metallic' form of Ag was included in the doped powder. Both bare and Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed similar discharge capacity of 242 mAh/g at 0.2C rate. However, as the increase of charge-discharge rate to 3C, Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed higher discharge capacity (172 mAh/g) and better cyclic performance than those of bare sample. The discharge capacity of Ag 5 wt.% doped sample was relatively low at all rate condition. However it displayed better rate performance than other samples.
