The fluorine-substituted $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode materials were synthesized by using the transition metal precursor, $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O$ and LiF. This was to facilitate the movement of lithium ions by forming more compact SEI layer and to reduce the dissolution of transition metals. The $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode material was sphere-shaped and each secondary particle had $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$ in size. The fluorine-substituted cathodes initially delivered low discharge capacity, but it gradually increased until 50th charge-discharge cycles. These results indicated that fluorine substitution gave positive effects on the structural stabilization and resistance reduction in materials.

The quality of orthoimages mainly depends on the elevation information and exterior orientation (EO) parameters. Since LiDAR data directly provides the elevation information over the earth's surface including buildings and trees, the concept of true orthorectification has been rapidly developed and implemented. If a LiDAR-driven digital surface model (DSM) is used for orthorectification, the displacements caused by trees and buildings are effectively removed when compared with the conventional orthoimages processed with a digital elevation model (DEM). This study utilized LiDAR data to generate orthorectified digital aerial images. Experimental orthoimages were produced using digital terrain model (DTM) and DSM. For the preparation of orthorectification, EO components, one of the inputs for orthorectification, were adjusted with the ground control points (GCPs) collected from the LiDAR point data, and the ground points were extracted by a filtering method used in a previous research. The orthoimage generated by DSM corresponded more closely to non-ground LiDAR points than the orthoimage produced by DTM.

Yttrium (Y) and niobium (Nb) doped spherical $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ were synthesized to improve the energy density and electrochemical properties of anode material. The synthesized crystal was $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$, the particle size was less than $1{\mu}m$ and the morphology was spherical and well dispersed. The Y and Nb optimal doping amounts were 1 mol% and 0.5 mol%, respectively. The initial capacity of the dopant discharge and charge capacity were respectively 149mAh/g and 143 mAh/g and were significantly improved compared to the undoped condition at 129 mAh/g. Also, the capacity retention of 0.2 C/5 C was 74% for each was improved to 94% and 89%. It was consequently found that Y and Nb doping into the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ matrix reduces the polarization and resistance of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer during the electrochemical reaction.

Recently, liquid desiccant systems have received attention for the dehumidification of air. LiCl and LiBr are widely used in liquid desiccant systems due to their excellent thermo-physical properties. In this study, dehumidification tests were conducted with Celdek elements using LiCl and LiBr. During the tests, the dry and wet-bulb air temperatures were maintained at $35^{\circ}C$ and $28^{\circ}C$, respectively. The solution temperature was $20^{\circ}C$, the solution concentration was 50%, the solution circulation rate was 50 kg/h, and the frontal air velocity was varied from 2.0 to 4.0 m/s. The results show that the amount of dehumidification increased as the frontal velocity increased. On average, LiCl showed 27% higher dehumidification performance than LiBr, which was probably due to the lower saturation of the absolute humidity of LiCl compared with that of LiBr. On the other hand, LiBr yielded 12% larger pressure drop than LiCl. In general, the Sherwood numbers of LiCl and LiBr were approximately the same, showing that the effect of the desiccant on the Sherwood number was insignificant. Existing correlations highly overpredicted the present Sherwood numbers.

The $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ceramics, which added with low sintering materials $Li_2CO_3$ and ZnBO, was investigated for LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) applications. To compare sintering temperature of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ respectively, we added 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5wt% of $Li_2CO_3$ and ZnBO to $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$. For confirming the sintering temperature, the respective specimens were sintered from $750^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ by $50^{\circ}C$. The case of $Li_2CO_3$ greatly lowered the sintering temperature of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ($1350^{\circ}C$) below $900^{\circ}C$. The addition of ZnBO improved the loss tangent of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$. The crystalline structure of $LiCO_3$ doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ and ZnBO doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ was analyzed with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of $Li_2CO_3$ doped BST and ZnBO doped BST were measured with the HP 4284A precision. From the electrical characterization, we respectively obtained the dielectric permittivity 1361, loss tangent $6.94{\times}10^{-3}$ at $Li_2CO_3$ doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ (3wt%) and the dielectric constant 1180, loss tangent $3.70{\times}10^{-3}$ at ZnBO doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$(5wt%).

We have discussed on the structural transition and its effect on the electrical property of Li-GFDICs and Li-PCDICs occuring during the deintercalation process of Li-Graphite Fiber Intercalation Compounds(Li-GFICs) and Li-Petroleum Cokes Intercalation Compounds(Li-PCDICs) synthesized under pressure and temperature by spontaneous oxidation by air circulation. The analytical results were obtained by X-ray diffraction and electrical specific resistivity measurements. According to X-ray analysis, we have found that the major stage of Li-GFICs was stage 2 and those of Li-PCICs were stage 1 and stage 2, respectively. And from this results of the deintercalation process, we have found that the deintercalation process did not occur any more after 5th week of Li-GFDICs and after 3rd week of Li-PCDICs. According to the results of the electrical specific resistivity measurements, Li-GFDICs showed little variation to 3rd week and rising in the steady curve after 4th week, while Li-PCDICs showed a rising in the steady curve to 3rd week and a declining curve after 3rd week. Therefore from these results, we can consider that graphite fiber and petroleum cokes as a substrate can be also used as an anode material of battery because they have good intercalation-deintercalation reactivity with lithium.

An experimental study has been performed regarding heat and mass transfer in a falling film absorber of domestic small-sized absorption chiller/heater. Components were concentrically arranged in cylindrical form : from the center, with a series of low temperature generator, absorber and evaporator. The arrangement of such helical-typed heat exchangers allows to make the system more compact as compared to conventional one. Experimental measurements were conducted with a helical absorber using $LiBr+LiI+LiNO_3+LiCl$ and LiBr solutions. As a result, the heat and mass flux performance of $LiBr+LiI+LiNO_3+LiCl$ solution shows the tendency of $2{\sim}5%$ increase. Therefore, $LiBr+LiI+LiNO_3+LiCl$ solution can be taken consideration into applying to small-sized absorption chiller/heater because of using without crystal through high concentration as 4wt% comparing with LiBr solution.

최근 대용량 에너지 저장장치로 사용하고자 하는 리튬-공기전지는 리튬 음극과 액체 전해질 사이의 화학적 불안정성이 문제가 되고 있다. 또한 리튬이온전지는 액체전해질의 사용으로 인해 폭발 등의 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 때문에 리튬-공기전지에서 리튬 음극을 액체 전해질로부터 보호할 수 있으며, 리튬이온전지의 액체전해질과 대체하였을 때 전극과도 안정한 고체전해질의 연구가 필요하다. 고체전해질은 구조적으로 crystalline, glassy, 폴리머로 나눌 수 있는데, 이 중 crystalline 구조의 고체전해질은 glassy 및 폴리머 고체전해질에 비해 상온에서 비교적 이온전도도가 높다고 알려져 있다 [1]. 그러나 이온전도도가 높은 황화물 및 질화물 고체전해질은 수분에 민감한 반면 [2,3], 산화물 계열의 물질은 안정할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 이온전도도가 높은 산화물인 lithium lanthanum titanate ($Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$, LLTO)를 고체전해질로 선정하여 다양한 환경에서 화학적 안정성에 관해 연구하였다. LLTO와 각종 용액과의 화학적 안정성을 살펴보기 위해 고체전해질을 DI water, 1 M $LiPF_6$ Ethylene Carbonate (EC)-Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) (50:50 vol.%), 0.57 M LiOH (pH=13), 0.1 M HCl (pH=1)에 immersion하고 무게, 표면형상, 상(phase), 이온전도도 등의 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 LLTO와 전극간의 반응성을 알아보기 위해 LLTO 분말과 음극물질인 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ 및 양극물질인 $LiCoO_2$ 분말을 혼합한 후 $300^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 열처리하여 반응을 가속화 한 후 상변화 현상을 살펴보았다.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ has been considered a potential material for high power lithium batteries. Since $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ is however an insulator having a broad band gap, various methods have been employed to improve the conductivity. In this study, we have investigated the change of fine structure and electronic structure by Cr doping using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and First Principle Calculation. Doping with Cr, we could obtain an enhanced electronic conductivity by locating the Fermi level at the center position of Cr d-band and identify the change of XANES pre-edge and white line peak due to the increase of electron density of Ti d-band.
