본 논문에서는 경험적 모드 분해 방법을 이용하여 시각자극 출현에 따른 과제 수행 시 발생하는 뇌 유발전위의 θ와 α 대역에 대한 진폭과 위상변화를 확인하였다. 과제수행에 대한 뇌 유발전위를 구성 주파수 대역 별로 분 해하기 위하여 경험적 모드 분해 방법을 적용하였고, 분해된 각 내재모드함수에 힐버트 변환을 적용하여 뇌 유발전위의 θ와 α 대역의 순간 진폭과 위상 변화를 확인하였다. 과제 수행 시 뇌 유발전위의 P2, N2과 P3지점에서 θ와 α 대역의 진폭이 크게 관찰되었으며, N1, P2부근에서 순간 위상의 변화가 최대가 되었다. 시각 자극 출현에 따른 응시 상태에서는 두 대역 모두 관련된 위상 변화시점이 확인되지 않았다. 대역통과필터 방법 적용 시, 경험적 모드 분해 방법에 비해 시간과 주파수 해상도가 떨어졌으며, 필터의 파라미터에 따라 위상 변화 시점의 결과 에 차이가 발생하였다. 연구를 통해 θ와 α 대역이 시각 자극 출현에 따른 과제 수행에 대한 뇌 유발전위의 주요 성분인 θ와 α 대역의 위상변화와 뇌 유발전위의 생성을 위상 변화와 연관 지어 해석하였다.

LiMn2O4 catalyst for CO2 decomposition was synthesized by oxidation method for 30 min at 600℃ in an electric furnace under air condition using manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2·6H2O), Lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and Urea (CO(NH2)2). The synthesized catalyst was reduced by H2 at various temperatures for 3 hr. The reduction degree of the reduced catalysts were measured using the TGA. And then CO2 decomposition rate was measured using the reduced catalysts. Phase-transitions of the catalysts were observed after CO2 decomposition reaction at an optimal decomposition temperature. As the result of X-ray powder diffraction analysis, the synthesized catalyst was confirmed that the catalyst has the spinel structure, and also confirmed that when it was reduced by H2, the phase of LiMn2O4 catalyst was transformed into Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase. After CO2 decomposition reaction, it was confirmed that the peak of LiMn2O4 of spinel phase. The optimal reduction temperature of the catalyst with H2 was confirmed to be 450℃(maximum weight-increasing ratio 9.47%) in the case of LiMn2O4 through the TGA analysis. Decomposition rate(%) using the LiMn2O4 catalyst showed the 67%. The crystal structure of the synthesized LiMn2O4 observed with a scanning electron microscope(SEM) shows cubic form. After reduction, LiMn2O4 catalyst became condensed each other to form interface. It was confirmed that after CO2 decomposition, crystal structure of LiMn2O4 catalyst showed that its particle grew up more than that of reduction. Phase-transition by reduction and CO2 decomposition ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase at the first time of CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the above contents. Phase-transition at 2~5 time ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase by reduction and LiMn2O4 of spinel phase after CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the first time case. The result of the TGA analysis by catalyst reduction ; The first time, weight of reduced catalyst increased by 9.47%, for 2~5 times, weight of reduced catalyst increased by average 2.3% But, in any time, there is little difference in the decomposition ratio of CO2. That is to say, at the first time, it showed 67% in CO2 decomposition rate and after 5 times reaction of CO2 decomposition, it showed 67% nearly the same as the first time.

The spinel Fe3O4 powders were synthesized using 0.2 M-FeSO4·7H2O and 0.5 M-NaOH by oxidation in air and the spinel LiMn2O4 powders were synthesized at 480 ℃ for 12 h in air by a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and lithium hydroxide as starting materials. The synthesized LiMn2O4 powders were mixed at portion of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% of Fe3O4 powders using a ball-mill. The mixed catalysts were dried at room temperature for 24 hrs. The mixed catalysts were reduced by hydrogen gas at 350 ℃ for 2 h. The carbon dioxide decomposition rates of the mixed catalysts were 90% in all the mixed catalysts but the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was increased with adding LiMn2O4 powders to Fe3O4 powders.

The spinel LiMn2O4 powders were synthesized at 480℃ for 12 h in air by a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and lithium hydroxide as starting material and the Fe3O4 powders were synthesized by the precipitation method using 0.2M-FeSO4·H2O and 0.5M-NaOH. The synthesized Fe3O4 powders were mixed at portion of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% about LiMn2O4 powders through ball-milling followed by drying at room temperature for 48 h in air. The mixed catalysts were reduced at 350℃ for 3 h by hydrogen and the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide was measured at 350℃ using the reduced catalysts. As the results of CO2 decomposition experiments, the decomposition rates of carbon dioxide were 85% in all catalysts but the initial decomposition rates of CO2 were slightly high in the case of the 5%-Fe3O4 added catalyst.
