Combustion behavior of Fe, CuO, NiO, ZnO and $Fe_2O_3$ powder mixture was carried out by finite element method (FEM) to understand a reaction at iron and metal oxide interface. The FEM was done by using ANSYS Fluent 17.0. Initial and boundary conditions are 1 atmosphere, room temperature, 0.1MPa of oxygen partial pressure, $T_{S1}=1127^{\circ}C$, $T_{S2}=327^{\circ}C$ for a cylindrical shape specimen with dia. $35{\times}80$ [mm]. The maximum combustion temperature is $1537^{\circ}C$ for the condition of conduction, convection and radiation. The combustion temperature and rate are about $847^{\circ}C$ and 3.9mm/sec, respectively. The combustion wave is enough to make ternary ferrite phase like $CuNiZnFe_2O_3$.

The effects of $Y_2$ $O_3$-substitution on the piezoelectric properties of Pb[(N $i_{1}$3/N $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.15}$(Z $r_{1}$2/ $Ti_{1}$2/)$_{0.85}$] $O_3$ceramics were investigated. It was found that $Y^{3+}$ ions incorporate into Pb-sites of the ceramics, resulting in a increased lattice anisotropy and formation of Pb-vacancies. As a result, an orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition was induced when $\chi$>0.005. At the morphotropic phase boundary of x=0.005, piezoelectric constants( $k_{p}$, $k_{33}$, and $d_{33}$) showed maximum values of 0.53, 0.58, and 350pC/N, respectively. A 30-layer actuator fabricated with the above material showed a maximum strain of 0.12％ under 100V DC bias.

The methane reforming with $CO_2$ and steam for manufacture of synthesis gas over $Ni/ZrO_2$ catalyst was investigated. Mixed reforming carried out $CO_2$ dry reforming with $O_2$ and steam for development of DME process in pilot plant. To improve a catalyst deactivation by coke formation, the mixed reforming added carbon dioxide and steam as a oxidizer of the methane reforming was suggested. The result of experiments over commercial catalyst in $CO_2$ dry reforming has shown that the catalyst activity decrease rapidly after 20 hours. In case of $NiO-MgO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst, the deactivation of 20 percent after 30 hours was occurred. The activity of Ni/C catalyst still was not decreased dramatically after 100 hours. The effect of $H_2$ reforming with steam over $Ni/CO_2$ catalyst obtained the optimal conversion of methane and carbon dioxide, and could be produced synthesis gas at ratio of $H_2/CO$ under 1.5.

Layered $Li_{1.2}(Fe_{0.16}Mn_{0.32}Ni_{0.32})O_2$ was prepared by the mixed hydroxide method at various temperatures. Xray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that this material has a ${\alpha}-NaFeO_2$ layered structure with $R{\bar{3}}m$ space group and that cation mixing is reduced with increasing synthesis temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that nano-sized $Li_{1.2}(Fe_{0.16}Mn_{0.32}Ni_{0.32})O_2$ powder has uniform particle size distribution. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis is used to study the local electronic structure changes around the Mn, Fe, and Ni atoms in this material. The sample prepared at $700^{\circ}C$ delivers the highest discharge capacity of 207 $mAhg^{-1}$ between 2-4.5 V at 0.1 $mAcm^{-2}$ with good capacity retention of 80% after 20 cycles.

Nano-sized gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC)/nickel particle-dispersed $La_ySr_{1-y}Ti_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ (LSFTO)-based composite solid oxide fuel cell anodes were fabricated by an infiltration method and the effects of the GDC/Ni nanoparticles on the anode polarization resistance and cell performance were investigated in terms of the infiltration time and nickel content. The anodic polarization resistance of the LSFTO anode was significantly enhanced by GDC and/or Ni infiltration and it decreased with increasing infiltration time and Ni content, respectively. It is believed that the observed phenomena are associated with enhancement of the ionic conductivity and catalytic activity in the nanocomposite anodes by the addition of GDC and Ni. Power densities of cells with the LSFTO and LSFTO-GDC/Ni nanocomposite anodes were 150 and $300mW/cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$, respectively.

To understand the electronic structure of $[NiS_4]^-$ complex ions, two complexes with such $[NiS_4]^-$ core, $FcCH=CHPymCH_3[Ni(dmit)_2]$ (Pym = pyridinium, $dmit^{2-}$ = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) and $FcCH=CHPymCH_3[Ni(dddt)_2]{\cdot}{\frac{1}{2}}H_2O$ ($dddt^{2-}=5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolato$), were synthesized to be characterized by X-ray crystallography, single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Powder EPR spectra show narrow g-anisotropy but the anisotropy is bigger in $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ than in $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$, indicating bigger spin density in Ni(III) d-orbital of $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ than in $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$, which is consistent to DFT results. EPR studies of the crystals of the complexes surprisingly suggest that the $g_y$-axis of $[Ni(dddt)_2]^-$ is approximately on or perpendicular to the $[NiS_4]^-$ plane while the $g_y$-axis of $[Ni(dmit)_2]^-$ is on the plane, though DFT study of the complexes of this study and previously reported $[NiS_4]^-$ complexes indicate that the $g_y$-axis is on the $[NiS_4]^-$ plane.

Magnesium prepared by mechanical grinding under $H_2$ (reactive mechanical grinding) with transition elements or oxides showed relatively high hydriding and dehydriding rates when the content of additives was about 20 wt%. Ni was chosen as a transition element to be added. $Fe_2O_3$ was selected as an oxide to be added. Ti was also selected since it was considered to increase the hydriding and dehydriding rates by forming Ti hydride. A sample $Mg-14Ni-3Fe_2O_3-3Ti$ was prepared by reactive mechanical grinding, and its hydrogen storage properties were examined. This sample absorbs 4.02 wt% H for 5 min, and 4.15 wt% H for 10 min, and 4.42 wt% H for 60 min at n = 2. It desorbs 2.46 wt% H for 10 min, 3.98 wt% H for 30 min, and 4.20 wt% H for 60 min at n = 2. The effects of the Ni, $3Fe_2O_3$, and Ti addition, and hydriding-dehydriding cycling were discussed.

With Ni/Au and Pd/Au metal schemes and low temperature processing, we formed low resistance stable Ohmic contacts to p-type GaN. Our investigation was preceded by conventional cleaning, followed by treatment in boiling $HNO_3$:HCl (1:3). Metallization was by thermally evaporating 30 nm Ni/15 nm Au or 25 nm Pd/15 nm Au. After heat treatment in $O_2$ + $N_2$ at various temperatures, the contacts were subsequently cooled in liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic cooling following heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ decreased the specific contact resistance from $9.84{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ to $2.65{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ for the Ni/Au contacts, while this increased it from $1.80{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ to $3.34{\times}10^{-4}$ ${\Omega}cm^2$ for the Pd/Au contacts. The Ni/Au contacts showed slightly higher specific contact resistance than the Pd/Au contacts, although they were more stable than the Pd contacts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling showed the Ni contacts to be NiO followed by Au at the interface for the Ni/Au contacts, whereas the Pd/Au contacts exhibited a Pd:Au solid solution. The contacts quenched in liquid nitrogen following sintering were much more uniform under atomic force microscopy examination and gave a 3 times lower contact resistance with the Ni/Au design. Current-voltage-temperature analysis revealed that conduction was predominantly by thermionic field emission.
