In this work, we employed an electroless nickel plating on glass fibers in order to enhance the electric conductivity of fibers. And the effects of metal content and plating time on the conductivity of fibers were investigated. From the results, island-like metal clusters were found on the fiber surfaces in initial plating state, and perfect metallic layers were observed after 10 min of plating time. The thickness of metallic layers on fiber surfaces was proportion to plating time, and the electric conductivity showed similar trends. The nickel cluster sizes on fibers decreased with increasing plating time, indicating that surface energetics of the fibers could become more homogeneous and make well-packed metallic layers, resulting in the high conductivity of Ni/glass fibers.

Hydrogen reduction technique was used to form the nickel layer onto alumina powders in nickel sulfate solutions. The reduction rate and precipitation states of nickel ions were investigated at various experimental conditions such as hydrogen pressure, temperature, $PdCl_{2}$ addition, particle size, and so on. Uniformly nickel coated alumina composite powders were obtained at such condition as reduction temperature of $165^{\circ}C$, hydrogen pressure of 300 psi, and $PdCl_{2}$ amount of $2\;mg/\ell$.

In general, nickel-base superalloy has been extensively used as land-based gas turbine blades and vanes. Plasma transferred arc welding(PTAW) has been considered as a repair welding process of nickel-base superalloy. This research evaluated the relationship between hot ductility behavior and hot cracking susceptibility in nickel-base superalloys. Ductility recovery rate of nickel base superalloys was found to be poor due to incipient melting and constitutional liquation. This seems to increase the hot cracking susceptibility.

The catalytic reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen was investigated with the various nickel oxide catalysts at different partial pressures of carbon monoxide and oxygen and at reaction temperatures in the region of 120$^{circ}$to 250$^{circ}C$. The reaction has the highest rate with the nickel oxide catalyst which is sintered at low temperature. A reaction mechanism to explain the data is derived. From the Arrhenius equation, the activation energies in the region of experimental temperatures are found to be from 5.49 to 9.15 kcal/mole. The concentration of excess oxygen in the nickel oxide seems to vary according to the sintering temperatures and periods and is the controlling factor in determining the type of kinetics followed by the catalytic reaction.

In this study, Li powder was recovered from the by-product of LNO ($Li_2NiO_2$) process, which is the positive electrode active material of waste lithium ion battery, through the $CO_2$ thermal reaction process. In the process of recovering Li powder, the $CO_2$ injection amount is 300 cc/min. The $Li_2NiO_2$ award was phase-separated into the $Li_2CO_3$ phase and the NiO phase by holding at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. After this, the collected sample:distilled water = 1:50 weight ratio, and after leaching, the solution was subjected to vacuum filtration to recover $Li_2CO_3$ from the solution, and the NiO powder was recovered. In order to increase the purity of Ni, it was maintained in $H_2$ atmosphere for 3 hours to reduce NiO to Ni. Through the above-mentioned steps, the purity of Li was 2290 ppm and the recovery was 92.74% from the solution, and Ni was finally produced 90.1% purity, 92.6% recovery.

The electrical properties of the mixed conducting yttria(8 mol%) stabilized zirconia(YSZ)-nickel oxide(NiO) composites were examined by a.c. impedance, 4-probe d.c. conductivity between 400 and $1000^{\circ}C$. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of conductivity, and electromotive force measurement of galvanic cell enabled to determine the electronic contribution to the conduction. Up to 6 vol% NiO addition, the conductivity decreased since the electronic NiO acted as an insulator in ionic matrix. However the ionic transport was dominant until NiO content reaches 26 vol%. Mixed conduction was observed between 26 and 68 vol% of NiO. The effect of composition on the electrical property was explained by the microstructure and thus by the distribution of two phases.

유기태양전지의 대표적 Hole Transporting Layer(HTL)로는 전도성 고분자인 PEDOT:PSS이다. PEDOT:PSS는 약산성의 물질로 전극을 부식시켜 디바이스의 효율을 감소시키기 때문에 PEDOT:PSS를 대체하기 위한 Buffer층에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어지고 있다. PEDOT:PSS를 대체할 수 있는 Nickel Oxide(NiO) Buffer 층은 wide band-gab으로 Hole Transporting Layer와 Electron Blocking Layer 역할을 동시에 하여 디바이스의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 디바이스의 수명을 향상시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. NiO는 용액공정과 Sputter 증착 방법으로 형성할 수 있는데, 용액공정은 고온공정이 요구되어지고 Sputter 증착방법은 산화되기 쉬운 전극위에서는 전극의 손상을 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해서 Ni을 Magnetron Sputter로 증착한 후 Ion Beam 처리를 통해 산화시켜 NiO 층을 형성하는 방법을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 NiO형성 방법으로 유기태양전지를 제작하여 PEDOT:PSS를 Buffer층으로 사용한 태양전지와 Voc가 0.72 V로 유사하게 나와 NiO가 Buffer층으로 잘 형성된 것을 확인하였다.

The codeposition behavior of WC particles from an additive-free nickel sulfate and sulfamate solution has been investigated. Electroplating of Ni/WC composites was carried out at different current density with variation of WC particle size. The Guglielmi adsorption mechanism is applied to the electroplating of the fine WC in Ni matrix. The contents of WC in Ni composite coating were increased both by increasing current density and WC concentration in the bath. The hardness of Ni/WC composite coating at low current density is higher than that at high current density since finer WC particles dispersed through the coating. The codeposition behaviors of Co coated WC particles were also investigated. Conducting layer of particles promoted the codeposition behavior of Ni/WC-Co composite coatings.

The nickel alloys gets a great deal of attention due to their good mechanical, chemical and magnetic properties. Especially Ni-P alloy systems are very attractive due to their good corrosion resistance and the wear resistance in important technological applications. In this study, the effects of phosphorus acid concentration in plating solution on composition of Ni-P alloy coatings were studied. The Ni-P electrodeposits of the various P contents were investigated in order to understand effect of the composition on mechanical properties of Ni-P electrodeposits. The mechanical properties of electrodeposits increased as the P content in electrodeposits increase. The results of mechanical properties were explained by grain size and P solid solution effect. The effects of heat treatment on mechanical properties of Ni-P alloy coatings were also studied.

Flame-sprayed Ni-based coatings are investigated in order to improve the thermal fatigue properties of gray cast iron in the presence of water spraying. The results of thermal cycling tests from room temperature to $1100^{\circ}C$ indicate that thermal fatigue endurance is increased in the order of Ni-20%Cr, NiCr-6%Al, and Ni-5%Al. The thermal fatigue failure is caused by the formation of iron oxides between the coating and the substrate and then the thermal fatigue cracks have propagated either along the brittle iron oxide layer resulting in the spatting of the coatings in case of Ni-5%Al and NiCr-6%Al coatings or to the substrate resulting in the whole specimen fracture in case of Ni-20%Cr coating. It seems that the most governing factor for thermal fatigue resistance is the thermal expansion coefficient difference between the coating and the substrate. Microstructural variations before and after the tests are also discussed.
