초록

본 연구에서는 아연공기전지용 분리막으로 사용하기 위한 다공성 막을 Polyethersulfone (PES) 용액의 상전이법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 캐스팅 용액은 PES/polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)/N-methylpyrrolidone(NMP) 용액으로 그리고, 비용매는 물을 사용하여 분리막을 제조하였다. 제조된 분리막을 이용하여 아연공기전지를 제작하였다. 분리막의 모폴로지는 캐스팅 용액 내의 PES 및 PVP의 함량을 통해 조절하였다. 제조된 분리막의 기계적 특성, 이온전도도 및 모폴로지는 인장실험, impedance 실험 및 SEM을 이용하여 측정하였다. 아연공기전지의 성능은 current interrupt method (CIM)와 정전류 방전실험을 통하여 측정하였다. 캐스팅 용액 내의 PES 함량이 증가함에 따라 기계적 강도는 증가한 반면 이온전도도는 감소하였다. 반면, 캐스팅 용액 내의 PVP 함량이 증가함에 따라 이온전도도는 증가하였지만 기계적 강도는 감소하였다. 이와 같은 이온전도도 경향의 아연공기전지 내에서의 효과는 current interrupt method와 정전류 방전실험에서 확인되었다. PES 함량이 높은 캐스팅 솔루션의 분리막으로 제조된 전지는 높은 IR 손실과 낮은 방전용량을 보였으며, PVP 함량이 높은 캐스팅 솔루션의 분리막으로 제조된 전지는 낮은 IR손실과 높은 방전용량을 보였다.

Porous flat sheet membranes for separators in Zn air batteries were prepared with polyethersulfone (PES) solutions by immersion precipitation phase inversion method. PES/polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)/N-methylpyrrolidone(NMP) mixtures were used for casting solutions and water was used for coagulant. With the separators, Zn air batteries were fabricated. The separators were characterized by means of stress-strain test, impedance test and SEM. The Zn air batteries were tested by current interrupt method (CIM) and galvanostatic discharge method. The tensile strength increased with increasing PES content in the casting solution while the ionic conductivity decreased. On the other hand, the ionic conductivity increased while the tensile strength decreased with increasing PVP content. The effect of ionic conductivity trend of the separator in the Zn air battery was confirmed through current interrupt method and galvanostatic discharge method experiments. The battery with the separator from casting solution with higher PES content showed higher IR drop and lower discharge capacity. And the battery with the separator from casting solution with higher PVP content showed lower IR drop and higher discharge capacity.
