Rechargeable lithium-ion polymer batteries have been considered to be next-generation power sources for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. In this work, we tried to improve the cycling performances of lithium-ion polymer cells by coating aluminum fluoride and acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate copolymer to the polyethylene separator. It was found that the addition of aluminum fluoride to the surface-modified separator reduced the interfacial resistances and thus the cell exhibited a less capacity fading and better high rate performance. The cell showed an initial discharge capacity of 150 mAh/g and good capacity retention at 0.5 C rate.

전지는 고에너지 밀도 제품으로 화학에너지를 전환시켜 전기에너지를 운반하는 것이다. 본 실험에서는 리튬 이온전지의 열적 안정성의 위험을 평가하기 위하여 리튬이온 전해액을 Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC)와 modified cloed pressure vessel test(MCPVT)로 분석하였다. 실험 결과 리튬전지는 다른 전지보다 위험하며, 전지를 잘못 사용하면 열적 반응성은 연소성 물질인 전해질을 포함하고 이것이 열을 발생시켜 폭발하거나 화재가 발생할 수 있음을 제시하였다.

최근 대용량 에너지 저장장치로 사용하고자 하는 리튬-공기전지는 리튬 음극과 액체 전해질 사이의 화학적 불안정성이 문제가 되고 있다. 또한 리튬이온전지는 액체전해질의 사용으로 인해 폭발 등의 안정성 문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 때문에 리튬-공기전지에서 리튬 음극을 액체 전해질로부터 보호할 수 있으며, 리튬이온전지의 액체전해질과 대체하였을 때 전극과도 안정한 고체전해질의 연구가 필요하다. 고체전해질은 구조적으로 crystalline, glassy, 폴리머로 나눌 수 있는데, 이 중 crystalline 구조의 고체전해질은 glassy 및 폴리머 고체전해질에 비해 상온에서 비교적 이온전도도가 높다고 알려져 있다 [1]. 그러나 이온전도도가 높은 황화물 및 질화물 고체전해질은 수분에 민감한 반면 [2,3], 산화물 계열의 물질은 안정할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 이온전도도가 높은 산화물인 lithium lanthanum titanate ($Li_{0.5}La_{0.5}TiO_3$, LLTO)를 고체전해질로 선정하여 다양한 환경에서 화학적 안정성에 관해 연구하였다. LLTO와 각종 용액과의 화학적 안정성을 살펴보기 위해 고체전해질을 DI water, 1 M $LiPF_6$ Ethylene Carbonate (EC)-Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) (50:50 vol.%), 0.57 M LiOH (pH=13), 0.1 M HCl (pH=1)에 immersion하고 무게, 표면형상, 상(phase), 이온전도도 등의 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 LLTO와 전극간의 반응성을 알아보기 위해 LLTO 분말과 음극물질인 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ 및 양극물질인 $LiCoO_2$ 분말을 혼합한 후 $300^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 열처리하여 반응을 가속화 한 후 상변화 현상을 살펴보았다.

This paper presents the conceptual design of the electrical power system using Li-ion cell technology for a satellite application. Compared to a conventional NiCd cell, a Li-ion cell has a lot of advantages such as an energy density, mass and a volume. Normally, a Li-ion cell has three times than conventional NiCd cells in a capacity such as a cell voltage. The normal voltage of a NiCd cell is around +1.2V and a Li-ion cell could be in +3.6V. However, the handling procedure for a Li-ion cell in charge and discharge might be difficult than a conventional NiCd cell, which means that the charge and discharge of each cell should be monitored and controlled by electrical circuits to prevent an over-charge and over-discharge. Therefore, in this paper we propose the design consideration and the characteristics of a Li-ion cell during charging and discharging battery packs in the point of view of electrical power system.

In the present study, the discharge characteristics of a lithium-ion battery was evaluated to calculate the rate of heat generation under various discharge rates by mathematical modeling. The modeling and simulation of a pseudo-two dimensional ionic transport system for governing Butler-Volmer equation were carried out by using FEMLAB as a PDE (partial differential equation) solver, where the discharge rate was changed from 5 $A/m^2$ to 25 $A/m^2$. The computational results showed that the concentration of consumed solid-phase lithium at the surface of electrode was increased with increasing discharge rates. While the resulting diffusion limitation occurred shortly, it increased the rate of heat generation even more rapidly for the internal voltage to approach the cutoff voltage of the lithium-ion battery.

Separators, which produces physical layer between a cathode and anode, are getting enormous attention as the quality of the separator determines the performance of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Porous membranes based on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are generally utilized as the separator of LIBs because of their high electrochemical stability and suitable mechanical strength. However, low thermal resistance and wettability of PE and PP membranes limited the potential of LIBs. Operating at the temperature exceeding the melting point of membranes, the separators change their structures which lead to short circuit of LIBs. Low wettability of the separators corresponds to low ionic conductivity which increases the cell resistance. To overcome these weaknesses of PE and PP separators, different types of separator were prepared by co-electrospinning, applying coating layer, forming core shell around membrane, and papermaking method. The synthesized separator greatly enhanced the heat resistance and wettability of separator and mechanical properties like flexibility and tensile strength. In this review different type of polymer membrane used as separator in lithium ion battery are discussed.

Acoustic emission(AE) signal was detected during charge and discharge of lithium ion battery to investigate relationships among cumulative count, discharge capacity, and microdamages. AE signal was received during accelerated charge/discharge cycle test of a coin-type commercial battery. A number of AE signals were successfully detected during charge and discharge, respectively. With increasing number of cycle, discharge capacity was decreased and AE cumulative count was observed to increase. Microstructural observation of the decomposed battery after cycle test revealed mechanical damages such as interface delamination and microcracking of the electrodes. These damages were attributed to sources of the detected AE signals. Based on a linear correlation between discharge capacity and cumulative count, feasibility of AE technique for evaluation of battery degradation was suggested.

Computational modelling and simulation for the charge-discharge characteristics of Lithium-ion batteries have been carried out. The battery system consists of a simplified 2-dimensional single cell for the modelling, in which the thermal modelling on the charge-discharge characteristics was conducted in the temperature range from 288 K through 318 K by using FEMLAB as an engineering PDE solver. While material parameters adopted in the present modelling were dependent on the system temperature, their thermal modelling were applied on the simulations of the charge-discharge period and the rate of transferring charges systematically. The resulting simulation shows that the cycle of the charge-discharge shorten itself by reducing the system temperature, regardless of the charge-discharge rates. In addition, the mass-transport phenomena of Lithium ion have been discussed in connection with the charge-discharge characteristics in the battery.
