The increasing demand for portable energy has generated significant research interest in nanostructured electrode materials, because of their large interfacial contact area with the electrolyte and short path lengths for Li ion transport. To date, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) has been widely investigated as an electroactive, Li-insertion host. However, the lithium reactivity of brookite-type TiO 2 has rarely been addressed compared to the common polymorphs, anatase and rutile, because of the difficulties encountered in obtaining a phasepure brookite structure. Herein, we report on the simple synthesis of nanocrystalline brookite-type TiO 2 using titanium trichloride (TiCl 3 ) and urea [(NH 2 ) 2 CO]. The average size of the particles precipitated at 100°C was ca. 10 nm. The brook-

This study was conducted to quantify the carbon storage in each pool (including trees, forest floor, and soil) and to analyze the carbon cycle in a Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold and Zucc.) Endl. forest according to different thinning intensities. The study site was located in Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and the treatments consisted of a control (Con), a light thinning (LT), and a heavy thinning (HT), based on 3000 trees originally planted per hectare. As stand density decreased, total C storage decreased, and the annual C storage of trees and C released through soil respiration significantly increased. Net ecosystem production (NEP; Mg·C·ha−1·year−1), as the difference between net primary production and microbial respiration, was 1.95, 2.49, and 2.11 in the Con, LT, and HT treatments, respectively; i.e., the LT stimulated greater NEP than the Con and HT treatments. While these results show that thinning decreases total C storage of forests, proper thinning enhances carbon uptake capacity. In addition, this study can be a basic reference for the effects of thinning on forest carbon cycles. Repeated measurements of each C pool should be performed over multiple years to see the exact movement patterns of forest carbon in the future.

This paper in concerned with the electrochemical properties for supercapacitor of composition with variation of super P/MWCNTs(multi-walled carbon nanotubes) contents. Electrochemical properties of the super P/MWCNTs were measured by cyclic voltammetry at the scan rates of 0.5 mV/s is TEABF4(tetra-ethyl-ammonium-tetra-fluoro-borate) as electrolytes. As a result, the composition for 6 wt% content of MWCNTs led to an increase of capacitance, but DC resistance were decreased. It was found that the content and dispersion appearance of MWCNTs was attributed to the increase in capacitance and lower DC resistance.Keywords: MWCNT, Super P, Supercapacitor, DC resistance, Capacitance.
