The reaction of aryl halides with phenoxides and alkoxides were investigated under phase transfer catalytic conditions. 2,4-Dinitro- and 4-nitrohalobenzenes reacted readily with phenoxides in NaOH(aq)-benzene in the presence of Bu4N+Br, affording the products quantitatively. Although the aryl halides did not react with alkoxides under the same condition, the reactions were completed within 2 hours at room temperature when conducted under solid-liquid phase transfenr catalytic condition. The reactivity of aryl halides was in the order, Ar = 2,4-dinitrophenyl > 4-nitrophenyl, and X = F > Cl, consistent with the SNAr mechanism. The reactivity of oxyanions increased with the change of reaction condition from liquid-liquid to solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis. The results were explained with the concentration and the degree of hydration of the anion in benzene.

The organic yields(i.e., fraction of nuclear events resulting in organic compound formation) of the radioactive neutron capture reactions of the halogens in purified aromatic halides have been determined in the liquid and solid state, in the presence of scavenger, elemental halogen for thermal atoms, and in the presence of oxygen. Among the important results are; (1) organic yields of the halides are due in part to hot processes and in part to thermal processes; (2) temperature (from liquid state to solid state); (3) the organic yield of chlorobenzene is the same in the solid phase as in the liquid phase whereas the yields of the bromo-and iodobenzene are higher in the solid.

We report the solid-liquid phase equilibria on the $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (GdBCO) stability phase diagram in low oxygen pressures ($PO_2$) ranging from 1 to 100 mTorr. On the basis of the GdBCO stability phase diagram experimentally determined in low oxygen pressures, the isothermal sections of three different phase fields on log $PO_2$ vs. 1/T diagram were schematically constructed within the $Gd_2O_3-Ba_2CuO_y-Cu_2O$ ternary system, and the solid-liquid phase equilibria in each phase field were described. The invariant points on the phase boundaries include the following three reactions; a pseudobinary peritectic reaction of $GdBCO{\leftrightarrow}Gd_2O_3$ + liquid ($L_1$), a ternary peritectic reaction of $GdBCO{\leftrightarrow}Gd_2O_3+GdBa_6Cu_3O_y$ + liquid ($L_2$), and a monotectic reaction of $L_1{\leftrightarrow}GdBa_6Cu_3O_y+L_2$. A conspicuous feature of the solid-liquid phase equilibria in low $PO_2$ regime (1 - 100 mTorr) is that the GdBCO phase is decomposed into $Gd_2O_3+L_1$ or $Gd_2O_3+GdBa_6Cu_3O_y+L_2$ rather than $Gd_2BaCuO_5+L$ well-known in high $PO_2$ like air.

C/SiC composites were developed by a liquid silicon infiltration(LSI) method for use as heat-resistant parts of solid and liquid rocket propulsion engines. The heat resistance characteristics according to the composition ratio (carbon / silicon / silicon carbide) were evaluated by specimen test through arc plasma, supersonic torch test. An ablation equation for oxidation reactions was presented. Through the combustion test it was verified that various parts such as nozzle insert, exit cone and combustion chamber heat resistant parts for rocket propulsion can be manufactured and proved high ablation performance and thermal structure performance.

Pyroprocessing uses various molten salts during electrochemical unit processes. Reaction products after the electrochemical processes must contain a significant amount of residual salts to be separated. Vacuum distillation is a common method to separate the residual salts; however, its high operation temperature may cause side reactions. In this study, a simple rotation technique using centrifugal force was suggested to separate the residual salts from the reaction products at relatively low temperature compared to the distillation technique. When a reaction product container with porous wall rotates inside a vessel heated above the melting point of the residual salt, the residual salt in the liquid phase is separated through centrifugal force. It was shown that the $LiNO_3-Al_2O_3$ mixture can be separated by this technique to leave solid $Al_2O_3$ inside the container, with a separation efficiency of 99.4%.

Li-ion batteries have been gaining increasing importance, driven by the growing utilization of renewable energy and the expansion of electric vehicles. To meet market demands, it is essential to ensure high energy density and battery safety. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted significant attention as a potential solution. Among the advantages, they operate with an ion-conductive solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte therefore significantly reducing the risk of fire. In addition, by using high-capacity alternative electrode materials, ASSBs offer a promising opportunity to enhance energy density, making them highly desirable in the automotive and secondary battery industries. In ASSBs, Li metal can be used as the anode, providing a high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh/g). However, challenges related to the high interfacial resistance between Li metal and solid electrolytes and those concerning material degradation during charge-discharge cycles need to be addressed for the successful commercialization of ASSBs. This review introduces and discusses the interfacial reactions between Li metal and solid electrolytes, along with research cases aiming to improve these interactions. Additionally, future development directions in this field are explored.

Since the electrification of vehicles has been extended, solid-state batteries have been attracting a lot of interest because of their superior safety. Especially, polymer, sulfide, and oxide based materials are being studied as solid electrolytes, and each type of materials has advantaged and disadvantages over others. Oxide electrolytes has higher chemical and electrochemical stability compared to the other types of electrolytes. However, ionic conductivity isn't high enough as much as that of organic liquid electrolytes. Also, there are many difficulties of fabricating solid-state batteries with oxide based electrolytes because they require a sintering process at very high temperature (above ${\sim}800^{\circ}C$). Herein, we review recent studies of solid-state batteries with oxide based electrolytes about the ionic conductivity, interfacial reactions with Li metal, and preparation of solid-state cell.

The acid stronger than $H_0=-11.93$, which corresponds to the acid strength of 100% $H_2SO_4$, is known as superacid. However, solid superacid catalysts have many advantages such as an easy separation of products from catalyst, the repeated uses and regeneration of catalysts, as compared with liquid superacids. In this paper, the kinds of solid superacids, the preparation methods, and their applications for chemical reactions are introduced.

In lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, encapsulation of sulfur in activated carbon (AC) materials is a promising strategy for preventing the dissolution of lithium polysulfide into electrolytes and enhancing cycle life, because instead of solid-liquid-solid reactions, quasi-solid-state (QSS) reactions occur in the AC micropores. While a high weight fraction of sulfur in S/AC composites is essential for achieving a high energy density of Li-S cells, the deterioration mechanisms under such conditions are still unclear. In this study, we report the deterioration mechanisms during charge-discharge cycling when the discharge products overflow from the AC. Analysis using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry confirms that the sulfur in the S/AC composites migrates outside the AC as cycling progresses, and it is barely present in the AC after 20 cycles, which corresponds to the capacity decay of the cell. Impedance analysis clearly shows that the electrical resistance of the S/AC composite and the charge-transfer resistance of QSS reactions significantly increase as a result of sulfur migration. On the other hand, the charge-discharge cycling performance under limited-capacity conditions, where the discharge products are encapsulated inside the AC, is extremely stable. These results reveal the degradation mechanism of a Li-S cell with micro-porous carbon and provide crucial insights into the design of a S/AC composite cathode and its operating conditions needed to achieve stable cycling performance.
