Spinel LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (LNMO) has been considered as one of most promising cathode material, because of its low-cost and competitive energy density. However, 4.7V vs. Li/Li⁺ of high operating potential facilitates electrolyte degradation on cathode-electrolyte interface during charge-discharge process. In particular, commercial polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is not sutaible for LNMO cathode binder because its weak van der waals force induces thick and non-uniform coverage on the cathode surface. In this review, we study high performance binders for LNMO cathode, which forms uniform coating layer to prevent direct contact between electrolyte and LNMO particle as well as modifying high quality cathode electrolyte interphase, improved cell performace.

본 연구에서는 poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP)를 나노 크기의 $Al_2O_3$ 세라믹입자와 혼합하여 전기방사법으로 복합 겔 고분자 전해질을 제조하였다. $Al_2O_3$ 세라믹입자를 혼합한 복합 겔 고분자 전해질의 이온전도도는 $9.5{\times}10^{-2}Scm^{-1}$로, 순수한 PVdF-HFP 겔 고분자 전해질보다 높은 이온전도도를 나타내며 전기화학적 안정성도 5.2 V까지 개선하였다. 전기화학적 성능을 분석하기 위해서 $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ (NMC)양극과 함께 전지로 제작되었으며 순수 겔 고분자 전해질과 복합 겔 고분자 전해질 셀은 0.1C-rate에서 각각 $168.2mAh\;g^{-1}$과 $189.6mAh\;g^{-1}$의 방전 용량을 가지며 우수한 수명 특성을 보여 주었다. 따라서 고유전율 세라믹 입자의 복합화는 리튬 이온 겔 고분자 전지의 안정성과 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키는 좋은 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다.

To analyze the cause of the destruction of thin, carbon-backed lithium fluoride targets during a measurement of the fusion of ⁷Li and ¹⁷O, we estimate theoretically the lifetimes of carbon and LiF films due to sputtering, thermal evaporation, and lattice damage and compare them with the lifetime observed in the experiment. Sputtering yields and thermal evaporation rates in carbon and LiF films are too low to play significant roles in the destruction of the targets. We estimate the lifetime of the target due to lattice damage of the carbon backing and the LiF film using a previously reported model. In the experiment, elastically scattered target and beam ions were detected by surface silicon barrier (SSB) detectors so that the product of the beam flux and the target density could be monitored during the experiment. The areas of the targets exposed to different beam intensities and fluences were degraded and then perforated, forming holes with a diameter around the beam spot size. Overall, the target thickness tends to decrease linearly as a function of the beam fluence. However, the thickness also exhibits an increasing interval after SSB counts per beam ion decreases linearly, extending the target lifetime. The lifetime of thin LiF film as determined by lattice damage is calculated for the first time using a lattice damage model, and the calculated lifetime agrees well with the observed target lifetime during the experiment. In experiments using a thin LiF target to induce nuclear reactions, this study suggests methods to predict the lifetime of the LiF film and arrange the experimental plan for maximum efficiency.

적은 양의 시료를 분석할 수 있는 마이크로 컬럼 이온 크로마토그래피용 전도도 셀과 억압컬럼을 개발하였다. 안지름이 작은 모세관 컬럼을 사용하는 경우 이동상의 유속은 보통 $5{\sim}20{\mu}L/min$ 정도 된다. 따라서 이 경우 일반적인 전도도 셀은 사용할 수가 없기에 내부 부피가 작은 모세관 컬럼용 전도도 셀과 억압컬럼을 제작하였다. 전도도 셀은 두 개의 백금 피하주사 바늘을 안지름이 0.010 mm인 튜브 속에 넣어 간격이 $2{\mu}m$ 되게 만들었고, 억압컬럼은 Nafion 튜브를 이용하여 막-억압컬럼 형태로 개발하였다. 이 전도도 셀과 억압컬럼을 이용하여 실제 음이온들(플루오르화물, 아질산염, 질산염, 염소산염)을 분석한 결과 재현성 있고 양호한 크로마토그램을 얻었다.

The features of precipitating reaction of fluorine have been examined under several aquatic conditions by employing calcium ion as a precipitant. Based on MINTEQ program, fluorine was found to exist in the forms of $H_2F_2$ and HF in strong acidic environment and change into $F^-$ with increasing pH. In the experimental condition, the precipitating reaction of fluorine progressed rapidly within a few minutes after the reaction started and reached its equilibrium in 10 minutes. As the addition of precipitant was increased, removal of fluorine by the formation of precipitate was promoted and its was also enhanced by the rise of pH. The precipitating reaction of fluorine was impeded when its initial concentration was low and X-ray analysis showed that the crystalline structure of precipitate was mainly $CaF_2$ with partly NaF. Coexisting phosphate in solution influenced the fluorine removal by impeding the precipitate formation and similar effect was found when metallic ion such as $Zn^{2+}$ was present with fluorine.

Bacillus sp. strain K-l, which produces a strong fibrinolytic enzyme, was isolated from chongkukjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. The fibrinolytic enzyme was purified from chongkukjang base by using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographic techniques. Purified enzyme, CK K-1 was demonstrated to be homogeneous by SDS-PAGE and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis, and has molecular mass of a 12.4 kDa and a pI of 8.0. The optimal reaction pH value and temperature were 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. Phenyl-methyl-sulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF; serine protease inhibitor), ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA; metallo protease inhibitor), copper ion, ferric ion and lead ion inhibited the enzyme activity. These results indicated that the fibrinolytic enzyme is a metallo-serine protease and different from nattokinase and chongkukjangkinase.

An ion chromatographic method based on indirect photometric detection of UV transparent anions was developed. Separation of anion was accomplished on strong anion exchange column (Waters SAX) using UV detector at 254 nm. Among examined UV-active additives (Dns-H, Dns-glu, Dnsser, Dns-val), Dns-glu showed the highest sensitivity. Studies on the effects of the pH and ionic strength of eluent revealed that the increase of pH and ionic strength of the eluent decreased capacity factor. The best eluent for the separation of acetate, fluoride, chloride, nitrate and bromide was $1\;{\times}\;10^{-4}M$ Dns-glu in 5 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.30). The detection limit of chloride ion was 2.1 ng in this condition.

Calixpyrroles and related macrocycles are non-planer synthetic anion receptors that have attracted considerable attentions in recent years. Although the synthesis of calix[4]pyrrole (known as meso-octamethylporphyrinogen) was reported more than 100 years ago, the anion binding properties were first discovered in 1996. The simple calix[4]pyrroles can be synthesized in single step in high yield by condensation of pyrrole with acetone. The compounds showed preferential binding for halide anions including fluoride, phosphate, carboxylate, and chloride in organic media. Efforts to improve the anion affinity of calix[4]pyrrole and to enhance its selectivity have led to the synthesis of a variety of new calixpyrrole derivatives. Among the various modifications, introduction of straps on one side of the calix[4]pyrroles are the most effective. Incorporation of aromatic rings other than pyrroles also exhibited interesting binding behaviour. Introduction of signalling units as part of the strapping element enable to detect the anions on chromogenic or fluorogenic fashion. Finding of the anion transport properties across the membrane and cytotoxic effects of the calix[4]pyrroles open new window for calixpyrrole-related research. The polymer-incorporated systems have also been employed as anion complexants in solvent-solvent extraction. These old, yet easy-to-make macrocycles have well advanced more recently with the discovery of the ion-pair complexation properties. In this review, the synthetic developments and anion binding properties of calixpyrroles for the last decades will be discussed and will cover the advances in calixpyrrole chemistry.

The element iron (Fe) is affordable and abundantly available, and thus, it finds use in a wide range of applications. As regards its application in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the electrochemical reactions of Fe must be clearly understood during battery charging and discharging with the LIB electrolyte. In this study, we conducted systematic electrochemical analyses under various voltage conditions to determine the voltage at which Fe corrosion begins in general lithium salts and organic solvents used in LIBs. During cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments, we observed a large corrosion current above 4.0 V (vs. Li/Li⁺). When a constant voltage of 3.7 V (vs. Li/Li⁺), was applied, the current did not increase significantly at the beginning, similar to the CV scenario; on the other hand, at a voltage of 3.8 V (vs. Li/Li⁺), the current increased rapidly. The impact of this difference was visually confirmed via scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. Our X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements showed that at 3.7 V, a thick organic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) was formed atop a thin fluoride SEI, which means that at ≥3.8 V, the SEI cannot prevent Fe corrosion. This result confirms that Fe corrosion begins at 3.7 V, beyond which Fe is easily corrodible.
