Data of 3-year-long observations of the chemical composition of precipitation, aerosol, soils and surface waters at three monitoring stations in the Baikal region are presented. The choice of observation objects is substantiated. Problems of natural objects" resistance to acidification are considered. The resistance of terrestrial ecosystems to acidification has been estimated quantitatively, and that of surface waters has been done so qualitatively. It has been demonstrated that symptoms of acidification are manifested most strongly in regions lee with respect to regional industrial centres at a distance of several tens and hundreds kilometres from them. The permissible acidity load for the soils of the territory under consideration varies from 1.25 to 1.4 keq/ (ha yr), while the maximal modern acidity load attains only 0.4 keq/ (ha yr).

The basic principles of operation of Li-ion batteries (Li-ion) are considered; equations for the electrode potential and charge/discharge kinetics are presented. The most widespread materials for the negative and positive electrodes are described, as well as the composition of electrolytes, their properties and behaviour in Li-ion. The world market and outlooks of the Russian market are analyzed.

By analogy with thermodynamic notions, implying that the possibility for a reaction to proceed is determined by Gibbs' energy, which is equal to the difference of the energies for the final and initial products, it is proposed to calculate the difference of the sums of mean orbital electro-negativities for the final an initial products. A linear correlation has been established between Gibbs' energies of reactions and the mentioned differences, on the basis of vast experimental material for various reaction types. This correlation can be used to estimate the possibility of a reaction between the compounds for which thermodynamic data are unknown, in particular for complicated multi-component compounds.

Physicochemical properties of non-equilibrium solid solutions in metal systems obtained mechanochemically are investigated by means of high-resolution microscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is demonstrated that nano-crystalline non-equilibrium solid solutions possess the excess free energy due to the presence of non-equilibrium non-stoichiometric defects and high density of inter block boundaries. The whole set of these defects creates synergetic effect in chemical activity.

Comparative investigations of phase formation processes and electronic properties of indium and tin oxide materials obtained under different conditions of solid-phase synthesis are presented. Substantial influence of synthesis conditions and temperature of hydrolysis product annealing on phase composition and size of crystallites of the synthesized indium and tin oxide materials is demonstrated. It is stated that the best optimal method to obtain materials with high concentration of free charge carriers is hydrolytic procedure with the use of hydrochloric acid solutions.

Double lithium-aluminium hydroxide [LiAl₂(OH)₆][Cunta] ^. 3H₂O^. containing copper complex with the anion of nitryltriacetic acid (nta) is synthesized by means of anion exchange for the first time. It is shown with the help of X-ray phase analysis that the size of layer packet of the synthesized compound is 11.8 Å. It is established by means of mass spectrometry that the process of water evolution due to dehydroxylation of [LiAl₂(OH)₆]⁺ layers starts simultaneously with the destruction of complex anion [Cunta]
