It is clear that looking into the details of the experimental setup from the raw materials to the instruments is crucial to get the best performance of the products. Though most of polymers can be moisturized owing to the molecular structure and the adsorbed water can do a certain role during the manufacturing process, not many researchers have rigorously controlled the inherently adsorbed water. This work was originally planned to find out the detrimental effect of the adsorbed water, but the results clearly showed the beneficial effects instead. As such, we systematically investigated the beneficial effects by varying the adsorbed water content, and found the optimum water content exhibiting significantly improved mechanical performance. This work was done with SNU and KITECH, and was featured as Supplementary Cover in ACS Applied Polymer Materials.

There have been many attempts to improve the electrochemical performances of the carbonaceous materials by introducing the porous structure and heteroatom-doping, and most of them revealed remarkably advanced electrochemical performances in comparison to those of the commercial graphite anode. In fact, it is not very difficult to demonstrate the improved Li-ion storage performances of the newly designed carbonaceous materials if the upper voltage limit is set as 3.0 V because the effect of the porous structure and heteroatoms are mostly effective at > 1.5 V. However, it is obvious that the anode operation range of the full-cell is mostly from 0.01 V to 1.7 V. As such, we tried to figure out whether the porosity and heteroatoms role effective or not in the conservative voltage range (0.01 - 1.5 V) using the PVP based carbon nanospheres treated under different thermal oxidation profiles. This work has been just accepted in Journal of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry.
