Abstract: An anode for a lithium secondary battery includes an anode current collector, and an anode active material layer formed on at least one surface of the anode current collector. The anode active material layer includes a carbon-based active material, a first silicon-based active material including a carbon-silicon composite active material, and a second silicon-based active material including a silicon oxide (SiOx, 0<x<2). A content of the first silicon-based active material is in a range from 2 wt % to 40 wt % based on a total weight of the anode active material layer.

Abstract: An electrodeionization filter includes: a housing having a water inlet and a water outlet; a first electrode installed inside the housing in a spiral shape; a second electrode installed inside the housing in a spiral shape so as to be spaced apart from the first electrode; and an ion exchange module installed between the first electrode and the second electrode for adsorbing or desorbing ionic substances contained in water introduced by an application of electricity. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode has a structure in which a center portion thereof is denser than a peripheral region thereof. Accordingly, the lifespan of the electrodes of the electrodeionization filter can be increased, and the assembly of the electrodes and related parts can be easily facilitated.

Abstract: An anode for a secondary battery includes an anode current collector, a first anode mixture layer on at least one surface of the anode current collector, and a second anode mixture layer on the first anode mixture layer. The first anode mixture layer includes a first silicon-based active material having a carbon coating layer formed on a surface, and a first conductive material, the second anode mixture layer includes a second silicon-based active material doped with a metal, and a second conductive material, and the anode for a secondary battery exhibits a Radial Breathing Mode (RBM) peak in a Raman spectrum obtained from a surface of the second anode mixture layer. An influence of volume expansion/contraction of a silicon-based active material during battery charging/discharging may be alleviated.

Abstract: An automobile power system in a vehicle may include an intake pipe supplying external air to an engine supplying power to driving wheels, a canister connected with a fuel tank to absorb evaporation gas produced in the fuel tank, an active purging system compressing and supplying the evaporation gas absorbed in the canister to the intake pipe, a diverging line extending from the active purging system to the engine, a diverging valve mounted on the diverging line, and a starting motor rotating a crankshaft when the engine is started. In addition, the evaporation gas absorbed in the canister is supplied to the engine through the diverging line before the engine is restarted, and then the starting motor is operated.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a hot stamping die is configured such that a refrigerant in a two-phase coexisting state of a liquid phase and a gas phase is supplied to a cooling channel formed in the hot stamping die to cool the hot stamping die using latent heat of the refrigerant. The refrigerant maintains a constant temperature in the cooling channel of the hot stamping die, which ensures uniform cooling of the hot stamping die.

Abstract: Disclosed is a preparing method for melamine-formaldehyde spheres (MFSs). The preparing method for MFS according to the present invention comprises mixing melamine in an aqueous formaldehyde solution and heating the solution to prepare a melamine-formaldehyde resin; admixing the melamine-formaldehyde resin with a surfactant, agitating the mixture, and centrifuging the mixture to prepare a solid powder; and washing the solid powder with an aqueous ethanol solution and drying the wetted solid powder to obtain the melamine-formaldehyde sphere. Regulating agitation speed of a mixture may control a size of the melamine-formaldehyde sphere. The preparing method for MFS according to the present invention may further comprise carbonizing the melamine-formaldehyde sphere after obtaining the melamine-formaldehyde sphere. Controlling a temperature for carbonization may control an amount of pores contained in the melamine-formaldehyde sphere.
