The effect of $MnO_2$ addition in $0.05Pb(Sn_{0.5}Sb_{0.5})O_3-0.8PbZrO_3-0.15PbTiO_3$(0.05PSS-0.8PZ-0.15PT) ceramics on crystal structure and electrical properties were studied. The sintering temperature and time were $1230^{\circ}C{\sim}1270^{\circ}C$ and 2hr, respectively. Then crystal structure, dielectric and pyroelectric properties were investigated. All the poled specimens showed the lower dielectric constant and $tan{\delta}$ than the unpoled specimens. Dielectric constant at 1kHz of the 0.05PSS-0.8PZ-0.15PT(MnO2 0.3wt%) system specimen sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 2hr were 270 and showed the lowest $tan{\delta}$ of 0.2% after poling of $2kV_{DC}/mm$ at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Pyroelectric coefficient was maximum value of $50nC/cm^2K$ and Curie temperature was $224^{\circ}C$.

Mn/In$_2O_3$ systems with a variety of Mn mol${\%}$ were prepared to investigate the effect of Mn-addition on the catalytic activity of Mn/In$_2O_3$ in the oxidative coupling of methane. The oxidative coupling of methane was examined on pure In$_2O_3$ and Mn/In$_2O_3$ catalysts by cofeeding gaseous methane and oxygen under atmospheric pressure between 650 and 830 $^{\circ}C$. Although pure In$_2O_3$ showed no C$_2$ selectivity, both the C$_2$ yield and the C$_2$ selectivity were increased by Mn-doping. The 5.1 mol${\%}$ Mn-doped In$_2O_3$ catalyst showed the best C$_2$ yield of 2.6${\%}$ with a selectivity of 19.1${\%}$. The electrical conductivities of pure and Mn-doped In$_2O_3$ systems were measured in the temperature range of 25 to 100 $^{\circ}C$ at PO$_2$'S of 1 ${\times}$ 10$^{-7}$ to 1 ${\times}$ 10 $^{-1}$ atm. The electrical conductivities were decreased with increasing Mn mol${\%}$ and PO$_2$, indicating the specimens to be n-type semiconductors. Electrons serve as the carriers and manganese can act as an electron acceptor in the specimens. Manganese ions doped in In$_2O_3$ inhibit the ionization of neutral interstitial indium or the transfer of lattice indium to interstitial sites and increase the formation of oxygen vacancy, giving rise to the increase of the concentration of active oxygen ion on the surface. It is suggested that the active oxygen species adsorbed on oxygen vacancies are responsible for the activation of methane.

The layered lithium-manganese oxide ($Li_2MnO_3$) as a cathode material of lithium ion secondary batteries was prepared and characterized the physico-chemical and electrochemical properties. The morphological and structural changes of MnO(OH) and $Li_2MnO_3$ are closely connected to the changes of electrochemical properties. The crystallinity of $Li_2MnO_3$ is enhanced as the annealing temperature increase, but its capacity is reduced due to the easier structural changes of less crystalline $Li_2MnO_3$ than highly crystalline one. Moreover, the addition of buffer material such as MnO(OH) into cathode causes to reduce the morphological and structural changes of layered $Li_2MnO_3$ and increase the discharge capacity and cycleability.

PMN-PT계 완화형 강유전체에서 MnO$_2$첨가가 압전물성에 미치는 영향을 -40~10$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 각각의 시편들은 -4$0^{\circ}C$에서 1.0kV/mm의 전계를 10분간 가하여 분극처리를 한 후 승온하면서 공진 반공진법에 의해 압전물성을 측정하였다. 0.9MN-0.1PT계의 경우 MnO$_2$를 첨가하였을 때 $K_{p}$ 는 거의 유지되면서도 Q$_{m}$ 값이 큰 폭으로 상승하였는데, 0.5wt% MnO$_2$첨가의 경우 -4$0^{\circ}C$에서 95로부터 480으로 증가하였다. 일반 강유전체인 PZT계에 대한 MnO$_2$의 첨가효과와 비교할 때 PMN계 완화형 강유전체에서도 동일한 경향성을 보임을 확인하였다.

The effect of TiO$_2$addition has been studied on the power loss, density, initial permeability, resistivity, and microstructure of Mn-Zn ferrites. TiO$_2$addition increased the density of sintered body and decreased of the initial permeability. Activation energy for electron hopping as well as electrical resistivity increased with TiO$_2$addition. The toroidal core sintered at 1150 $^{\circ}C$ with 1.5 wt% of TiO$_2$demonstrated the power loss of 83 mW/㎤ at 1 MHz, 25 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$. However, the same specimen sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ lead to the power loss, 1168 mW/㎤ at 1 MHz, 25 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$ and developed an exaggerated grain growth.

Effects of oxide additives such as MoO3, MnO2 ZrO2 and Fe2O3 on the phase separation and the chemical durability of sodium borosilicate glasses which are the host of waste glasses have been investigated as the basic study on the nuclear-waste immobilization through vitrification. MoO3 and MnO2 were found to be phase separation promotors which increased the temperature as well as catalyzed nucleation and growth for the phase separation of the 10Na2-O-3OB2O3-6OSiO2 (wt%) parent glass within the immiscibility region. The glasses had the interconnected phase-separated structure as the amount of addition increased. On the other hand, ZrO2 and Fe2O3 were inhibitors which showed the reverse effects to the above promotors. It was also found that addition of MoO3 could cause the phase separaton of the 20Na2O-10B2O3-70SiO2(wt%) glass even within the miscibility region. Addition of ZrO2 and Fe2O3 increased the chemical durability of the parent glass within the immiscibility region. Within the miscibility region, however, the addition of 1.96 wt % of MoO3 increased the chemical durability considerably, while MnO2 had little effects.

Electrical, mechanical and sinterability properties of yttria-stabilized zirconia doped with 5.35wt% $Y_2$O$_3$(Y$_2$O$_3$- containing stabilized zirconia : YSZ) were studied as a function of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ addition. The ratio of monoclinic phase to tetragonal phase was changed by the addition of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ to 8.00 wt% and sintered density decreased with increasing $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ addition. Fracture toughness increased with the increase of monoclinic to tetragonal phase ratio and was maximum at about 18%. When transition metals such as CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ or MnO$_2$ was added more than 1.5 wt%, the electrical conductivity of YSZ increased. But $Al_2$O$_3$ hardly affected the electrical conductivity of YSZ. The addition of $Al_2$O$_3$, CoO, Fe$_2$O$_3$ and MnO$_2$ into YSZ resulted in the more complex behavior of fracture toughness and hardness variation and the specimen with 1.5wt%-Fe$_2$O$_3$, 3.0wt%-Al$_2$O$_3$ and 1.5wt%-CoO showed the monoclinic to tetragonal phase ratio of 18% and the highest toughness of 10.8 MPa.m$^{1}$2/ and Vickers hardness of 1201 kgf/mm$^2$.

The effects of SiO2 MnO2 and sintering atmospheres (O2, N2) on the piezoelectric properties and densification behaviors of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 were investigated. The addition of SiO2 to the system enhanced the rate of densification but supressed the rate of grain growth. On the other hand the addition of MnO2 to the system did not nearly affect the rate of densification but increased slightly the rate of grain growth The densification of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 was promoted with increasing the partial pressure of O2. The relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 sintered under O2 atmosphere were higher than under N2 atmosphere. Whereas the mechanical quality factor (Qm) of specimens sintered under O2 atmosphere were lower than under N2 atmosphere. Thus the sintering atmosphere of O2 and N2 in Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 containing of SiO2 or MnO2 acted as donor and acceptor respectively. As the amount of SiO2 increased the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 but the mechanical quality factor (Qm) did not nearly change, In the case of the addition of MnO2 to the system the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) of Pb0.98Cd0.02Zr0.36Ti0.39Ni0.083Nb0.167O3 sintered under O2 atmosphere decreased rapidly with increasing the amount of MnO2 but they were unchanged with increasing the amount of MnO2 under N2 sintering atmosphere. Therefore the differences of the relative dielect-ric constant ($\varepsilon$r) and piezoelectric constant (d33) due to sintering atmosphere were diminished as the amount of MnO2 increased.

The semiconducting ceramics having positive temperature coefficient of resistivity in he family of 0.25mol% $Sb_2O_3$ doped barium titanates were prepared with AST ($4Al_2O_3$.$9SiO_2$.$3TiO_2$) and $MnO_2$ as additives and these electrical properties were investigated. The PTCR characteristic in these ceramic materials was improved by the addition of AST and $MnO_2$ because the addition of AST decreased the room temperature resistivity and controlled grin size due to the formation of a liquid phase during sintering and the addition of $MnO_2$ improved by forming acceptor level on the intergranular layer. On dependence on the switching time as switching temperature was increased the initial power and switching time increased.
