유황 양 전극과 액체 전해질, 리튬 금속을 음극으로 사용한 리튬 유황 전지를 제조하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 유황 전극은 유황파우더와 carbon black 을 도전재로, 그리고 바인더로 PVdF를 사용하여 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조된 셀은 두개의 다른 전압 구간에서 충방전 실험을 행하였다. 첫 번째 셀은 $S_8+{\chi}Li{\leftrightarrow}Li_2S_x(X=4{\sim}12)$ 반응만을 일어나 게 하기 위하여 2.1V 와 2.5V 사이에서, 그리고 두 번째 셀은 $Li_2S_x+{\chi}Li{\leftrightarrow}Li_2S(x=2{\sim}4)$의 반응만을 일어나게 하기 위하여 1.5V 와 2.5V 에서 충방전 하였다. 그 결과 첫 번째 셀이 더 좋은 싸이클 특성을 가지는 것을 확인 탈 수 있었다. 각 전압구간에서 각 셀이 충방전 되는 동안, 전해질 내로 녹아난 유황의 양은 큰 차치가 없는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고, 전압에 따른 전극의 임피던스를 측정한 결과, 방전이 끝난 후 큰 저항성분이 새로 생긴 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 사이클이 진행된 후의 전극표면을 SEM 분석을 행한 결과로부터 사이클이 진행된 후 전극 표면에 최종 반응 산물인 $Li_2S$ 가 피막형태로 형성된것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In order to develop polymer electrolyte for lithium/sulfur batteries, highly microporous P(VdF-HFP) membranes were prepared by phase inversion method. Porous structure was controlled by extracting NMP with mixture of deionized water and methanol. Porous structure of the membranes was observed with SEM. Polymer electrolytes were prepared by soaking the porous membranes in 1M $LiCF_3SO_3-TEGDME/EC$. The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte was found to be at high as $2\times10^{-3}S/cm$ when the polymer membrane extracted by $80\%$ methanol was used. The microporous polymer electrolyte optimized in this work displayed high ionic conductivity, uniform pore size, low interfacial resistance and stable ionic conductivity with storage time. The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes was measured with various lithium salts, and the conductivity showed $3.3\times10^{-3}S/cm$ at room temperature when $LiPF_6$ was used as a lithium salt.

The positive active material for polymer film-battery was prepared by using polyphenlenediamine(PPD) synthesized in our lab. and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole(DMcT) with various mixture ratio. The transference measurement of surface morphology and thermal stability of the prepared composite film was carried out by using SEM and TGA, respectively. Electrochemical property and electrical conductivity of the composite film were also measured by using cyclic voltammetry and four-probe method in dry box, respectively. The thermal stability of prepared composite film was up to $200^{\circ}C$. The electrical conductivity of the composite film increased and showed the highest value(about 3 S/cm) when doped at 0.4% $LiCIO_4$ solution. And we could confirm that DMcT was effective on reactivation of PPD through cyclic voltammogram.

최근 층상구조를 가진 전이금속 칼코겐 화합물이 새로운 고성능 리튬이온전지 음극소재로서 주목받고 있다. 층상구조 물질들의 고성능 전극 소재 활용에 있어 박리를 이용한 정확한 층의 개수 조절은 전기화학 반응성을 증가시키고, 전극 필름 내에서의 균일한 거동을 위해서 매우 중요하다. 볼 밀링 공정은 이차전지 전극 소재 제조에 있어서 주로 물질의 분쇄나 고상 화학반응을 유도하여 합금 형태의 전극 소재 개발에 보편적으로 사용되는 공정이나, 층상구조를 가진 전이금속 칼코겐 화합물에 적용하면 층상구조 물질에 고체윤활작용을 일으켜 박리가 촉진된다. 이러한 성질을 이용하여 다양한 종류의 전이금속 칼코겐 화합물(예: MoS₂, MoSe₂, NbSe₂)에 적절한 카본 매트릭스 물질과 복합화를 통해 새로운 전극 소재를 합성하고, 이를 통해 고성능 리튬이온전지 음극 소재를 제조하는 연구 동향에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

Solid polymer electrolytes were prepared by UV irradiation of the blends consisting of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO), epoxy diacrylate(EDA) and LiClO_4$. Conductivities of the electrolyte films were measured as a function or blend composition, salt concentration and temperature. The electrolyte having the composition of poly(ethylene oxide) (70% by weight)/epoxy diacrylate (30% by weight) with mole ratio of 10 of ethylene $oxide/Li^+$ exhibited a high ionic conductivity of $1.2{\times}10^{-5} S/cm$ at $25^{\circ}C$. This blend is transparent and shows elastomeric properties. Morphological studies by means of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy indicated that the cured epoxy chains in the blends inhibit the crystallization of poly (ethylene oxide) and thereby induce the blend systems to be completely amorphous in certain compositions.

This study was conducted to select efficient foliage plants for improving indoor environment conditions through the investigation of physiological responses including photosynthetic rate according to temperature, light intensity, and $CO_2$ level. Eight popular foliage plants used in this study were $Hedera$ $helix$ L., $Cissus$ $rhombifolia$ Vahl, $Ficus$ $benjamina$ L. 'Hawaii', $Syngonium$ $podophyllum$ Schott 'Albo-Virens', $Dieffenbachia$ $sp.$ 'Marrianne', $Pachira$ $aquatica$ Aubl., $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$ Regel, and $Scindapsus$ $aureus$ Engler. Photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate of the plants subjected to various light intensities (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 300, and $600{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD), $CO_2$ levels (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 700, and $1,000{\mu}molCO_2{\cdot}mol^{-1}$), and two different temperatures (16 and $22^{\circ}C$) were measured. In addition, various parameters in relation to photosynthesis were calculated from the measured data. As a result, the patterns of photosynthesis varied among 8 foliage plants according to light intensity, $CO_2$ level, and temperature. Most foliage plants except $Dieffenbachia$ had high levels of apparent quantum yield, which represents the photosynthetic rate under low light intensity (PPFD $0-100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). $Hedera$ $helix$, $Ficus$ $benjamina$, $Pachira$ $aquatica$, and $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$ exposed to high light intensity (PPFD $200-600{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) showed high levels of photosynthesis. $Cissus$ $rhombifolia$ and $Syngonium$ $podophyllum$ were low in $CO_2$ fixation efficiency compared to the other 6 foliage indoor plants. $Hedera$ $helix$ and $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$ showed high photosynthetic rate under high $CO_2$ level and vigorous photosynthesis was also observed in $Ficus$ $benjamina$ and $Pachira$ $aquatica$ grown under $22^{\circ}C$. Considering characteristics of indoor environment such as low light, high $CO_2$ level, and low relative humidity, therefore, $Hedera$ $helix$, $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$, $Ficus$ $benjamina$, and $Pachira$ $aquatica$ were efficient indoor foliage plants to improve indoor environmental conditions.

The mechanism fur the surface film formation was studied by in situ Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) observation of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) basal plane surface during cyclic voltammetry at a slow scan-rate of 0.5 mV $s^{-1}$ in 1 moi $dm^{-3}$ (M) $LiPF_6$ dissolved in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC). Decomposition of the electrolyte solution began at a potential around 2.15 V vs. $Li^+$/Li on step edges. In the potential range 0.95-0.8 V vs. $Li^+$/Li, flat areas (hill-like structures) and large swelling appeared on the surface. It is considered that these two features were formed by the intercalation of solvated lithium ions and their decomposition beneath the surface, respectively. At potentials more negative than 0.80 V vs. $Li^+$/Li, particle-like precipitates appeared on the basal plane surface. After the first cycle, the thickness of the precipitate layer was 30 nm. The precipitates were considered to be decomposition of the lithium salt ($LiPF_6$) and solvent molecules (EC and DEC), and to have an important role in suppressing further solvent decomposition on the basal plane.

In this study, crosslinked poly(POEM-co-AMPSLi-co-GMA)s were prepared by epoxy coupling of GMA after radical copolymerization of AMPS, POEM and GMA followed by acid-base titration reaction between sulfonic acid of AMPS and $Li_2CO_3$. It was observed that the crystalline melting temperature of POEM was effected by mol% of components and shifted to lower value by lithiation of AMPS group. The ionic conductivity of crosslinked polymer electrolyte was decreased by addition of GMA but maintained over $1.0{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ until 16 mol%. Particularly, the self-doped polymer electrolyte with 2 mol% of GMA showed its ionic conductivity as high as $4.08{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ at room temperature and electrochemical stability up to 6 V. In addition, 0.11 MPa of modulus and 270% of elongation were obtained from the free standing film of crosslinked polymer electrolyte.
