  • For electrode stability and the electrochemical performance of the Li-ion cell, it is essential that the active ingredients and unique additives in the polymer binder be well dispersed with the solvent-based slurry. The efficient procedure used to create the slurry affects the rheological characteristics of the electrode slurry. When successively adding different steps of Nmethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent to the cathode composition, it is evenly disseminated. The electrochemical performance of the Li-ion cells and the electrodes made with slurry formed by single step and multiple steps of addition of NMP solvent are examined. To preform rheological properties of cathode electrode slurry on Ni-rich Lithium Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum Oxide (LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05) (NCA). Also, we investigate different step addition of electrode formation and mechanical strength characterization like peel strength. According to the EIS study, a multi-step electrode slurry has lower internal resistance than a single-step electrode slurry, which results in better electrical characteristics and efficiency. Further, microstructure of electrodes is obtained electrochemical performance in the 18650 cylindrical cells with targeted capacity of 1.5 Ah. The slurry of electrodes prepared by single step and multiple steps of addition of NMP solvent and its effect on the fabrication of 1.5 Ah cells. A three-step solvent addition on slurry has been found to be a lower internal resistance than a single-step electrode slurry as confirmed by the EIS analysis, yielding improved electrical properties and efficiency.

  • In the Republic of Congo, Banded iron formations (BIFs) occur in two areas: the Chaillu Massif and the Ivindo Basement Complex, which are segments of the Archean Congo craton outcropping in the northwestern and southwestern parts of the country. They show interesting potential with significant mineral resources reaching 2 Bt and grades up to 60% Fe. BIFs consist mostly of oxide-rich facies (hematite/magnetite), but carbonate-rich facies are also highlighted. They are found across the country within the similar geological sequences composed of amphibolites, gneisses and greenschists. The Post-Archean Australian Shale (PAAS)-normalized patterns of BIFs show enrichment in elements such as SiO2, Fe2O3, CaO, P2O5, Cr, Cu, Zn, Nb, Hf, U and depletion in TiO2, Al2O3, MgO, Na2O, K2O, Sc, Th, Ba, Zr, Rb, Ni, V. REE diagrams show slight light REEs (rare earth elements; LREEs) compared to heavy REEs (HREEs), and positive La and Eu anomalies. The lithological associations, as well as the very high (Eu/Eu*)SN ratios> 1.8 shown by the BIFs, suggest that they are related to Algoma-type BIFs. The positive correlations between Zr and TiO2, Al2O3, Hf suggest that the contamination comes mainly from felsic rocks, while the absence of correlations between MgO and Cr, Ni argues for negligeable contributions from mafic sources. Pr/Pr* vs. Ce/Ce* diagram indicates that the Congolese BIFs were formed in basins with redox heterogeneity, which varies from suboxic to anoxic and from oxic to anoxic conditions. They were formed through hydrothermal vents in the seawater, with relatively low proportions of detrital inputs derived from igneous sources through continental weathering. Some Congolese BIFs show high contents in Cr, Ni and Cu, which suggest that iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) have been leached through hydrothermal processes associated with submarine volcanism. We discussed their tectonic setting and depositional environment and proposed that they were deposited in extensional back-arc basins, which also recorded hydrothermal vent fluids.

  • 충남 예산군 및 청양군 일대에 분포하는 시대미상의 초염기성암의 기원을 규명하기 위하여 주성분, 미량성분 및 희토류원소(REE)의 전암분석의 결과를 이용하여 연구하였다. 전암분석결과에 의하면 주성분원소 중 $K_{2}O$$Na_{2}O$를 제외한 대부분의 원소들은 후기변질작용에 관계없이 일정한 상관관계를 보여주며, primitive 맨틀의 화학조성과 비교할 때 매우 낮은 $Al_{2}O_{3}$ (<1.5%), CaO (<1%), $TiO_{2}$의 값을 나타내며, 비슷한 Ni의 함량을 가진다. 이점으로 미루어 본역의 암석은 상당한 양의 부분용융 (large degree of partial melting)을 받은 맨틀의 잔여물(residues)로 사료된다. REE의 chondrite normalize value는 (La/Yb)c= 1.1-5.2, (Sm/Eu)c=0.6-1.5 및 (Sm/Yb)c= 1.2-1.6 (dunites=0.53-0.77)의 값을 나타낸다. 대부분의 초염기성암이 LREE가 빈화(depleted)된 $(LREE/HREE)_{c}$ < 1) 특징을 보이는데 반해 이 지역의 초염기성암들은 LREE가 약간 부화(enriched)된 ($(LREE/HREE)_{c}$ <1) REE pattern을 나타낸다. 또한, La-Sm-Yb의 ternary diagram을 살펴보면 이들은 chondrite 의 값과 유사한 primitive한 맨틀의 부분용융 후의 잔여물보다 상당히 La가 부화된 양상을 보이며, alkali basalt의 source가 되는 부화된 맨틀의 부분용융 후의 잔여물과 비슷한 화학조성을 나타내고 있다. 이와같은 현상은 사문암화와 같은 후기변질작용 (late stage alteration), pre-melting composition 이 LREE가 부화된 경우, 혹은 빈화된 mantle의 잔여물과 LREE가 부화되어 있는 어떤 component의 mixing에 의한 부화의 가능성 등을 생각해 보았다. 그 결과, 1) 본역의 암석들은 가장 덜 변질받은 암석들만 분석하였고, MgO와 FeO를 다른 oxides로 나눈값을 도시해본 결과 대부분의 oxide들이 매우 좋은 trend를 보여주므로 후기 변질작용에 의한 LREE의 부화가능성은 희박하다고 생각되며, 2) 본역의 암석을 alkali basalt의 source와 같은 LREE가 부화된 deep mantle source에서 부분용융 후의 잔여맨틀로 생각하기에는 이들이 지표 위로 나타날 수 있는 emplacement mechamism을 설명하기가 불가능하다. 따라서 이러한 점으로 마루어볼 때, 이 지역의 초염기성암의 LREE 부화는 두 가지 component의 mixing에 의한 가능성이 가장 높은것으로 사료된다. 상당한량의 부분용융을 받은, 즉 빈화된 맨틀과 LREE가 부화된 component의 mixing에 의하여 이와같이 LREE가 부화된 특성을 보여주고 있다고 사료된다. Component의 성분으로서는 고압에서 LREE를 많이 함유하는 $H_{2}O$$CO_{2}$-rich fluid, 혹은 부화된 맨틀의 low degree of partial melting에 의하여 LREE가 부화된 partial melt일 가능성이 높으며 이들이 올라오면서 빈화된 잔여맨틀과 mixing되면서 본역의 암석과 같이 LREE를 부화시켰다고 사료된다.
