mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) 카본 분말에 제2상 첨가물로서 소량의 주석산화물$(SnO_2)$을 균일하게 분산 첨가시킴으로서 리튬이차전지의 부극재료로 사용되는 카본 분말의 전지 성능을 개선하였다. 주석산화물 첨가 방법는 전하적정법을 사용하여 Sn을 MCMB 분말에 삽입시키고, 다시 삽입된 Sn이 산화되도록 대기 중에서 $250^{\circ}C$로 1시간동안 후열처리를 하였다. 주석산화물이 첨가된 MCMB 카본분말로 Li/MCMB 전지 cell을 만들어 충방전시험을 수행한 결과, raw MCMB로 만든 전극보다 더 우수한 충방전 용량과 싸이클 특성을 나타내었다. 즉, 주석산화물 삽입에 의해 표면개질된 MCMB 카본 분말은 기존의 MCMB에 비해 높은 초기 방전용량과 충전용량을 나타내었고, 또한 높은 가역 특성과 좋은 cycleability를 보였다. 삽입된 $SnO_2$의 양이 증가할수록 높은 가역용량을 나타내었고 비가역용량 역시 높은 값을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 저온 동시 합성법을 이용하여 ITO 나노 분말을 제조하였다. 저온 동시 합성법은 기존의 염화 인듐 및 염화 주석 염이 아닌 인듐 및 주석 유기물 염들을 사용하므로 기존의 $600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$가 아닌 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 공정이 가능하고, 이로써 초미세급의 나노 분말을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 두가지 유기물 염을 동시에 산화시킴으로써 한번에 동시 합성이 가능하다. 이러한 저온 동시 합성법으로 제조한 나노 분말을 분석한 결과 분말의 크기는 평균 5 nm, 비 표면적은 약 $104m^2/g$ 이었다. 또한 EDS 및 XRD 분석 결과 분말의 결정상은 $In_2O_3$ 격자 내에 $3{\sim}8%$의 Sn이 고용된 [222], [400], [440]의 입방정 구조인 고품질의 ITO 나노 분말을 제조할 수 있었다.

In the present study effects of SnO$_2$-impregnation on the cell performance of Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) electrode in the Li-ion battery have been investigated. Sn element was impreganted into MCMB powders by the chemical titration, and then post annealed at 250$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in ambient atmosphere to be transformed as tin-oxide. From the measurement for the cell performance with the half cell in which the SnO$_2$-impregnated MCMB was used as an anode, the SnO$_2$-impregnated MCMB showed higher charge/discharge capacities, higher reversible specific charge capacity and better cycleability than a raw MCMB. As the amount of impregnated SnO$_2$ increased, both reversible and irreversible capacities increased.

This study is the previous stage for the mass production technology development of the nano-sized tin oxide powder by the recycling of the wasted tin metal, and nano-sized tin oxide powder with the average particle size below 50 nm is prepared from the tin chloride solution by the spray pyrolysis process. As the reaction temperature increases from 800 to 850, the average particle size of the generated powder increases from 20 to 30 nm. As the reaction temperature increases to 900, the droplet type is composed of the particles with the average size of the 30 nm. while the average size of the independent particles increases up to $80{\sim}100$ nm and the surface microstructure becomes more solid. Until $900^{\circ}C$, as the reaction temperature increases, the XRD peak intensity increases, while the specific surface area decreases. When the reaction temperature increases to 950, most of the powder appears with the independent type and the average particle size decrease down to 70 nm. The XRD peak intensity greatly decreases and the specific surface area increases almost twice.

Recently, it has been increasing trend to use conductive materials as electronics and communication technology in electronics industry are developing. The noble metal such as Ag, Pt, Pd etc. are mostly used as conductive materials, To reduce production cost, alternative materials with similar characteristics of noble metals are needed. Copper has advantages, i.e its electronic properties are similar to noble metals and low cost than noble metal, but its use has been restricted because of oxidation in air. In this study, the tin film was coated on copper by electroless plating to protect copper from oxidation and to confirm the effects of temperature, pH, amount of $SnCl_2$, and feeding speed in plating conditions. Additionally, we apply $Cu_{core}Sn_{shell}$ powder as conductive filler with low-temperature densification and analysis by SEM, XRD, FIB and 4-Point Probe techniques. As result of the study, tin film was coated well on copper and was protected from oxidation. After low-temperature densification treatment, the meted tin made chemical interconnections with copper. Accordingly, conductivity was increased than before condition. We hope $Cu_{core}Sn_{shell}$ powder to replace noble metals and use in the electronic field.

Through the volume change of Sn in a low-temperature phase transformation, the Sn nanopowder with high, purity, was fabricated by an economic and eco-friendly process. The fine cracks were spontaneously generated. in, Sn ingot, which was reduced to powders in the repetition of phase transformation. The Sn nanopowder with 50 run in size was obtained by the 24th repetitions of phase transformation by low-temperature and ultrasonic treatments. Also, the $SnO_2$ powder was fabricated by the oxidation of the produced Sn powder to the ingot and milled by the ultrasonic milling method. The $SnO_2$ nanopowder of 20 nm in size was fabricated after the milling for 180 h.

Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) is a material that is widely used for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Indium (In), chief element of the ITO, is expected to be depleted in the near future owing to its high cost and limited reserves. To overcome the issue, ITO has to be retained by recycling redundant ITO targets after manufacturing processes. In this article, we proposed an efficient recycling way of the redundant ITO targets with investigation of the current recycling tendencies in domestic and foreign countries. As a result, it was revealed that only In is recycled from the redundant targets in domestic and Japan. As well, fabrication of TCEs is being researched with ITO nanoparticles solutions. However, since the TCEs fabricated with ITO target is superior to those with other materials, it is thought that establishment of regeneration technology of ITO itself is demanded for an efficient recycling and fabrication of ITO target.

In this study, multilayered SnO nanoparticles are prepared using oleylamine as a surfactant at 165℃. The physical and chemical properties of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Interestingly, when the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are heated at 400℃ under argon for 2 h, they become more efficient anode materials, maintaining their morphology. Heat treatment of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles results in enhanced discharge capacities of up to 584 mAh/g in 70 cycles and cycle stability. These materials exhibit better coulombic efficiencies. Therefore, we believe that the heat treatment of multilayered SnO nanoparticles is a suitable approach to enable their application as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
