Abstract: Provided are lithium transition metal composite particle including a lithium transition metal oxide particle, a metal-doped layer formed by doping the lithium transition metal oxide particle, and LiF formed on the lithium transition metal oxide particle including the metal-doped layer, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium secondary battery including the lithium transition metal composite particles.

Abstract: Provided are a cathode active material including lithium transition metal phosphate particles, wherein the lithium transition metal phosphate particles include a first secondary particle formed by agglomeration of two or more first primary particles, and a second secondary particle formed by agglomeration of two or more second primary particles in the first secondary particle, and a method of preparing the same. Since the cathode active material according to an embodiment of the present invention may include first primary particles and second primary particles having different average particle diameters, the exfoliation of the cathode active material from a cathode collector may be minimized and performance characteristics, such as high output characteristics and an increase in available capacity, of a secondary battery may be further improved. In addition, since the first secondary particles are porous, the secondary particles are collapsed and fractured due to rolling when used in a cathode.

Abstract: Provided are a method of manufacturing a lithium nickel complex oxide including mixing a nickel-containing mixed transition metal precursor, a lithium compound, and a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) copolymer, and heat treating the mixture, a lithium nickel complex oxide manufactured thereby, and a cathode active material including the lithium nickel complex oxide. The method of manufacturing a lithium nickel complex oxide according to an embodiment of the present invention may adjust a ratio of divalent nickel (NiII) to trivalent nickel (NiIII) by using a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) copolymer, and thus, the method may improve capacity of a secondary battery.

Abstract: Provided are a method of preparing iron oxide nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles prepared thereby, and an anode material including the iron oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing an application in a testing agent which resides on an application layer of a mobile communication terminal mounted with a platform designed so that applications of the application layer operate independently from each other and a command is not directly transferred between the applications. The method includes: receiving a command for testing a test target application from a testing apparatus; generating an event corresponding to the transferred command; and registering the generated event in a window manager positioned on a framework layer in order to transfer the generated event to the test target application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel microorganism producing L-type poly-gamma-glutamic acid and an L-type poly-gamma-glutamic acid produced thereby and, more particularly, to Bacillus megaterium Toha (KCTC11752BP) isolated from salt-fermented Toha shrimps (Korean traditional fermented food) and an L-type poly-gamma-glutamic acid produced thereby. The novel microorganism Bacillus megaterium Toha (KCTC11752BP) has the ability to produce L-type poly-gamma-glutamic acid which can be used in high-value-added microbial agents, probiotic agents, immune-activating agents, animal drugs, cosmetics, moisture absorbers, thickeners, biodegradable plastics, etc.

Abstract: Disclose herein is a method for diagnosing virus, comprising the steps of: (a) collecting a sample and lysing virus present in the sample; (b) treating the lysed sample with a specific protease to digest a protein in the sample into peptides; (c) measuring the masses of the peptides in the sample with a mass measurement device; and (d) comparing the masses of the peptides in the sample to the masses of peptides derived from known viral proteins digested with the same protease as used in step (b), thus identifying the protein from which the peptides of the sample were derived. Also disclosed is a system for diagnosing virus which can be used to carry out the above diagnostic method.
