Abstract

리튬이온전지(LIB)는 기존의 다른 이차전지와 다른 확실한 몇 가지 장점이 있다. 높은 작동 전압과 높은 에너지 밀도, 긴 수명, 그리고 낮은 자체 방전 속도이다. 이러한 장점으로 모바일 제품에서부터 전기 자동차(battery electric vehicle, BEV), 최근에는 전기저장장치(energy storage system, ESS)까지 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 사용 범위가 증가함에 따라 높은 안정성을 가지며 더 큰 에너지 용량을 나타내는 리튬이온전지에 대한 요구가 점점 더 커지게 되었다. 리튬이온전지의 용량 증가는 전지의 설계보다는 양극 및 음극 재료, 분리막 및 전해질과 같은 주요 전지 재료의 기술적 진보에 달려 있다. 주요 전지 소재 중에 전지의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 전지 반응에 의한 과전압과 가격이 가장 비싼 양극이다. 본 기획 특집에서는 리튬이차전지의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 양극 물질의 종류와 향후 연구동향에 대해서 소개하고자 한다. 양극 물질의 발전 방향, 안정성과 용량 증대를 위해서 최근 연구되고 있는 방향에 대해서 자세하게 소개한다.
