In this study, soybean oil, which is used in a large variety of processed foods, is used as a carbon source. Soybean oil is successfully coated onto the surface of LiNi1/ 3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM) by a simple method. The physical and electrochemical properties of NCM/C hybrid materials are determined. As a result, a 5 nm thickness carbon coating layer is formed on the surface of the NCM, resulting in improved capability and cyclic performance in the battery. The NCM/C battery shows an initial discharge capacity of 159 mAh g−1 and 95% capacity retention after 100 cycles (a discharge capacity of 120 mAh g−1 and 94% retention are observed after 100 cycles for the NCM cathode).

This paper describes the results of the application of Cr-Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films for efficiency improvement through surface modification of spur gear parts in the hydraulic gear pump. Cr-DLC films were successfully deposited on SCM 415 substrates by a hybrid coating process using linear ion source (LIS) and magnetron sputtering method. The characteristics of the films were systematically investigated using FE-SEM, nano-indentation, sliding tester and AFM instrument. The microstructure of Cr-DLC films turned into the dense and fine grains with relatively preferred orientation. The thickness formed in our Cr buffer layer and DLC coating layer were obtained the 487 nm and . The average friction coefficient of Cr-DLC films considerably decreased to 0.15 for 0.50 of uncoated SCM415 material. The hardness and surface roughness of Cr-DLC films were measured 20 GPa and 10.76 nm, respectively. And then, efficiency tests were performed on the hydraulic gear pump to investigate the efficiency performance of the Cr-DLC coated spur gear. The experimental results show that the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of hydraulic gear pump using the Cr-DLC spur gear were improved up to 2~5% and better efficiency improvement could be attributed to its excellent microstructure, higher hardness, and lower friction coefficient. This conclusion proves the feasibility in the efficiency improvement of hydraulic gear pump for industrial applications.

단일 이온원을 사용하는 이온빔 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Mn-Zn페라이트 박막을 증착하였다. 기판은 1000Å의 산화막이 입혀진 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용하고 타깃은 (110)Mn-Zn 페라이트 단결정위에 Fe 금속선을 부착한 모자이크 타깃을 사용하엿다. 산소의 유입없이 성장된 박막은 금속선으로부터 스퍼터링된 금속이온들에 의해 상대적인 산소결핍을 나타내어 Wustite 구조를 가졌으며, 이를 해결하기 위해 기판주위로 산소를 유입시켜 증착시킨 결과(111) 우선배향성을 가지는 스피넬 페라이트 상의 박막을 얻을 수 있었다.박막의 성장속도는 이온빔 인출전압, 이온빔 입사각이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 기판과 타깃과의 거리가 멀어질수록 감소하였다. 낮은 이온빔 인출전압에서는 인출전압의 증가에 따라서 박막의 결정화가 향상되었지만, 매우 높은 인출전압에서는 이차이온의 에너지가 너무 높아 박막에 손상을 가하게 되므로 인출전압이 증가할수록 박막의 결정화는 오히려 저하되었다. 스피넬 구조를 가지는 페라이트 박막들은 페리자성을 나타내었으며 박막면에 평행한 방향으로 자화용이축을 가졌다.
