Abstract
Stainless steel is a metal with excellent workability, economy, and corrosion resistance, so it is used in various industrial applications including the marine, machinery, electronic parts, piping, power generation, and nuclear power fields. However, in contaminated environments such as marine and gas pipelines, stainless steel has problems, including surface aging..... More

Abstract
Bipolar electrodialysis was used in a process of desalting a lithium sulfate solution, converting it to lithium hydroxide and sulfuric acid, and concentrating and recovering them. The effects of the experimental variables such as applied voltage, the concentration of electrode solution, the concentration of raw material solution, volume ratio, and..... More

Abstract
To manufacture finer solder bumps, the SR and DFR patterns were filled using a Sn electroplating process instead of the microball process currently used in BGA technology, and the solder bump shape was fabricated through a reflow process. The microstructure of the solder bump was investigated by EBSD and TEM..... More

Abstract
La/Ce-partially double-filled and Co-charge-compensated (La_1−zCe_z)_0.8Fe_4−xCo_xSb₁₂ skutterudites were synthesized, and their thermoelectric properties were studied by varying the filling ratio and charge compensation. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the matrix phase was skutterudite and a secondary phase was determined to the marcasite FeSb₂. However, the formation of marcasite could be inhibited.....

Abstract
All solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are now anticipated to be an ultimate solution to the persistent safety issues of conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Contemporary society’s expanding power demands and growing energy consumption require energy storage with greater reliability, safety and capacity, which cannot be easily achieved with current state-of-the-art liquid-electrolyte-based LIBs......

Abstract
Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites (HOIP) have received a great deal of attention as a key material for applications like solar cells and light emitting devices because of their many advantages, in spite of their stability and toxicity issues. Attempting to discover and characterize novel HOIPs using just an experimental approach would..... More

Abstract
ZnO nano/microstructures were grown via a simple thermal evaporation process in air at atmospheric pressure. Mixtures of ZnS and carbon powders were used as the sources. The effects of growth temperature and mass ratio of carbon powder to ZnS on the morphologies and luminescence properties of the ZnO nano/microstructures were..... More

Abstract
Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT) are one of the candidate materials for storing hydrogen by physical adsorption. It has been reported that this hydrogen storage capacity increases as the crystallinity of the nanostructures decreases. Here, BNNT was synthesized using an RF plasma torch system, and the surface of the BNNT was..... More

Abstract
Natural sand and organic binders are commonly used in casting processes, but these ingredients produce environmental problems with dust and harmful TVOC(Total Volatile Organic Carbon) gases. Research on the introduction of artificial sand and inorganic binders to solve these environmental problems is being actively conducted mainly in the casting industry...... More
