The surface of an ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) was functionalized using 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane at $20^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. It was shown that only elevated temperature allows lyophobic properties on the walls of OMS, eventually preventing pore flooding with nonaqueous electrolytes. The functionalized OMSs (OMS-F) were characterized with various techniques: wettability test, $N_2$ sorption measurement, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Cathodes of $10mg/cm^2$ loading were prepared with a commercial Pt/C catalyst and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, 2.5 wt.%) binder using a typical doctor blade method on a commercial gas diffusion layer (GDL) in the presence or in the absence of OMS-F additives. Subsequent discharge-charge curves were taken in a 1M LiTFSI-TEGDME electrolyte at 60oC in pure oxygen atmosphere. It was found that the discharge capacity was significantly affected by OMS-F: 5 wt.% of additive extended discharge capacity by a factor 1.5. On the other hand, a similar OMS material but synthesized at $20^{\circ}C$ did not show lyophobic properties and deteriorated cathode capacity.

In this study, the compound $Li_3BO_3$ (LBO) is intended to be prepared by a polymeric complex method as a sintering aid for the densification of $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}$ (LLZ) solid electrolyte. A polymeric precursor containing Li and B is heat-treated in an air atmosphere at a temperature range between $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. Instead of LBO, the compound $Li_{2+x}C_{1-x}B_xO_3$ (LCBO) is unexpectedly synthesized after a heat-treatment of $700^{\circ}C$. The effect of LCBO addition on sintering behavior and ion conductivity of LLZ is studied. It is found that the LCBO compound could lead to significant improvements in the densification and ionic conductivity of LLZ compared to pure LLZ. After sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$, the density of the LLZ-12wt%LBO composite is $3.72g/cm^3$, with a high Li-ion conductivity of $1.18{\times}10^{-4}Scm^{-1}$ at $28^{\circ}C$, while the pure LLZ specimen had a densify of $2.98g/cm^3$ and Li-ion conductivity of $5.98{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$.

A fast gamma-ray dose rate assessment method for complex geometries based on stylized model reconstruction and point-kernel method is proposed in this paper. The complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries are imported as a 3DS format file from 3dsMax software with material and radiometric attributes. Based on 3D stylized model reconstruction of solid mesh, the 3D-geometrical solids are automatically converted into stylized models. In point-kernel calculation, the stylized source models are divided into point kernels and the mean free paths (mfp) are calculated by the intersections between shield stylized models and tracing ray. Compared with MCNP, the proposed method can implement complex 3D geometries visually, and the dose rate calculation is accurate and fast.

Detailed expermental studies of theelectronic structure of the valence and conduction bands of the mixed conductor $\beta$-LiAlindicate that a quasi-gap opens at the Fermi level, and the conduction states are highlylocalized, as opposed to the theoretical band structure calculations that predict predominant metallic behavior. Evidence for complex lithium migration effects involving the surface of Lial , induced by particle (electron or ion) bombardment and mechanical treatment , has been obtained as a byproduct of these experiments.

[(Benzene)Mn$(CO)_3$]$^+$ reacts with NaP(O) (OR)$_2$ (R = Me, Et, Ph) to give the phosphonate compound 1. Compound 1 reacts with R'Li (R = Me, Ph, $^nBu, ^tBu$) to yield the isomerized compound 2 and the alkylated compound 3. [(Toluene)Mn$(CO)_3$]$^+$ reacts with NaP(O)$(OMe)_2$ to give the phosphonate complexes 1-A and 1-B. Treatment of 1-A with $^tBuLi$ in THF affords complexes 3-A and 3-B with the later major. With 1-B only the complex 3-C is formed. [(Anisole)Mn$(CO)_3$]$^+$ reacts with NaP(O)$(OMe)_2$ to give the phosphate complex 1-C, which on treatment with $^tBuLi$ and then $H_2O$ yields compound 3-D. After demetallation of compound 3-D, meta-tertbutyl-anisole is obtained in a reasonable yield.

Recent developments in robotics and intelligent vehicle area, bring interests of people in an autonomous driving ability and advanced driving assistance system. Especially fully automatic parking ability is one of the key issues of intelligent vehicles, and accurate parked vehicles detection is essential for this issue. In previous researches, many types of sensors are used for detecting vehicles, 2D LiDAR is popular since it offers accurate range information without preprocessing. The L shape feature is most popular 2D feature for vehicle detection, however it has an ambiguity on different objects such as building, bushes and this occurs misdetection problem. Therefore we propose the accurate vehicle detection method by using a 3D complete vehicle model in 3D point clouds acquired from front inclined 2D LiDAR. The proposed method is decomposed into two steps: vehicle candidate extraction, vehicle detection. By combination of L shape feature and point clouds segmentation, we extract the objects which are highly related to vehicles and apply 3D model to detect vehicles accurately. The method guarantees high detection performance and gives plentiful information for autonomous parking. To evaluate the method, we use various parking situation in complex urban scene data. Experimental results shows the qualitative and quantitative performance efficiently.

The lithium ion concentration dependant ionic conductivity and thermal properties of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA)/acrylonitrile-based copolymer electrolytes with $LiClO_4$ have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and AC complex impedance measurements. In systems with 11 wt% of acrylonitrile all liquid electrolytes were obtained regardless of lithium ion concentration. Complex impedance measurements with stainless steel electrodes give ambient ionic conductivities $8.1\times10^{-6}\sim1.4\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$. On the other hand, a hard and soft films at ambient temperature were obtained in copolymer electrolyte system consists of 15 wt% acrylonitrile with 6 : 1 and 3 : 1 of [EO] : [Li] ratio, respectively. DSC measurements indicate the crystalline melting temperature of poly(PEGMA) disappeared completely after addition of $LiClO_4$ in this system due to the complex formation between ethylene oxide (EO) unit and lithium salt. As a result, free standing film with room temperature ionic conductivity of $1.7\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$ and high electrochemical stability up to 5.5V was obtained by controlling of acrylonitrile and lithium salt concentration.

Lithium gel electrolytes based on a mixed polymer matrix consisting of poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and cyanoresin type M (CRM) were prepared using an in situ blending process. The CRM used in this study was a copolymer of cyanoethyl pullulan and cyanoethyl poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with a mole ratio of 1:1. The mixed plasticizer was ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) with a volume ratio of 1:1. In this study, the presence of PVDF in the electrolytes helps to form a dimensionally stable film over a broad composition range, and decreases the viscosity. In addition, it provides better rheological properties that are suitable for the extrusion of thin films. However, the presence of HFP has a positive effect on generating an amorphous domain in a crystalline PVDF structure. The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was investigated in the range 298-333 K. The introduction of CRM into the PVDF-HFP/$LiPF_6$, complex produced a PVDF-HFP/CRM/$LiPF_6$ complex with a higher ionic conductivity and improved thermal stability and dynamic mechanical properties than a simple PVDF-HFP/$LiPF_6$, complex.

A new phosphorescent cyclometalated heteroleptic iridium (III) complex with an ancillary ligand of 4-azacrownpicolinate was prepared and its metal ion selective phosphorescent chemosensing behavior was investigated. The new iridium (III) complex exhibits notable phosphorescence quenching for Hg2+ in aqueous 50% acetonitrile solution with respect to the selective phosphorescent detection of various metal ions including $Li^+,Na^+,K^+,Cs^+,Mg^{2+},Ca^{2+},Ba^{2+},Fe^{2+},Ni^{2+},Cu^{2+},Zn^{2+},Ag^+,Pb^{2+},Cd^{2+},Cr^{2+},Cr^{3+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$. The phosphorescence quenching for $Hg^{2+}$ increased linearly with increasing concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ in the range of $10{\mu}M-700{\mu}M$ even in the presence of other metal ions, except for $Cu^{2+}$. Consequently, the new iridium (III) complex has the potential to be utilized for the determination of parts per million levels of $Hg^{2+}$ in aqueous acetonitrile media.
