To understand the performance of the electrochemical device, the analysis of the mechanism of ionic conduction is important. However, due to the ionic interaction in the electrolyte and the complexity of the electrolyte structure, a clear analysis method of the ion conduction mechanism has not been proposed. Instead, a variety of mathematical models have been devised to explain the mechanism of ion conduction, and this review introduces the Arrhenius and Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF) model. In general, the above two mathematical models are used to describe the temperature dependence of the transport properties of electrolytes such as ionic conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity, and a suitable model can be determined through the linearity of the graph consisting of the logarithm of the moving property and the reciprocal of the temperature. Currently, many electrolyte studies are evaluating the suitability of the above two models for electrolytes by varying the composition and temperature range, and the ion conduction mechanism analysis and activation energy calculation are in progress. However, since there are no models that can accurately describe the transport properties of electrolytes, new models and improvement of existing models are needed.

The dielectric-spectroscopic and ac conductivity studies firstly carried out on layered manganese doped Sodium Lithium Trititanates ($Na_{1.9}Li_{0.1}Ti_3O_7$). The dependence of loss tangent (Tan$\delta$), relative permittivity ($\varepsilon_r$) and ac conductivity ($\sigma_{ac}$) in temperature range 373-723K and frequency range 100Hz-1MHz studied on doped derivatives. Various conduction mechanisms are involved during temperature range of study like electronic hopping conduction in lowest temperature region, for MSLT-1 and MSLT-2. The hindered interlayer ionic conduction exists with electronic hopping conduction for MSLT-3. The associated interlayer ionic conduction exists in mid temperature region for all doped derivatives. In highest temperature region modified interlayer ionic conduction along with the polaronic conduction, exist for MSLT-1, MSLT-2, and only modified interlayer ionic conduction for MSLT-3. The loss tangent (Tan$\delta$) in manganese-doped derivatives of layered $Na_{1.9}Li_{0.1}Ti_3O_7$ ceramic may be due to contribution of electric conduction, dipole orientation, and space charge polarization. The corresponding increase in the values of relative permittivity may be due to increase in number of dipoles in the interlayer space while the corresponding decrease in the values of relative permittivity may be due to the increase in the leakage current due to the higher doping.

본 연구에서는 Poisson-Nernst-Plank (PNP) 식의 해를 구할 수 있는 Edison web-based Poisson-Nernst-Plank (EPNP) Solver를 이용하여 나노포어의 이온선택성 및 박막의 유전율, 그리고 이온 농도가 이온 전류와 이온전도도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 계산 결과로부터 나노포어의 이온선택성에 의해 양이온이 이온전류에 미치는 영향이 매우 크며, top buffer와 bottom buffer의 농도가 증가할수록 이온 전도도 (ion conductance)가 비선형적으로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. top buffer와 bottom buffer 간에 농도 차가 있을 때는 농도 차와 나노포어의 이온선택성에 의해 형성되는 Nernst 전위의 영향으로 I-V 곡선이 비대칭적 형태임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 나노포어의 상대 유전율을 증가시킬 때 I-V 곡선에서의 양이온 전류는 감소했지만 음이온의 전류는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 나노포어 내에 배열된 쌍극자에 의한 영향과 전하를 가진 입자가 유전경계 (dielectric boundary)에 접근하면서 형성되는 상전하에 의한 영향이 동시에 존재하기 때문임을 알 수 있었다.

A new one-shot process was employed to fabricate proton exchange membranes (PEMs) over conventional solvent-casting process. Here, PEMs containing nano-dispersed silica nanoparticles were fabricated using one-shot process similar to the bulk-molding compounds (BMC). Different components such as reactive dispersant, urethane acrylate nonionmer (UAN), styrene, styrene sulfuric acid and silica nano particles were dissolved in a single solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) followed by copolymerization within a mold in the presence of radical initiator. We have successfully studied the water-swelling and proton conductivity of obtained nanocomposite membranes which are strongly depended on the surface property of dispersed silica nano particles. In case of dispersion of hydrophilic silica nanoparticles, the nanocomposite membranes exhibited an increase in water-swelling and a decrease in methanol permeability with almost unchanged proton conductivity compared to neat polymeric membrane. The reverse observations were achieved for hydrophobic silica nanoparticles. Hence, hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were effectively dispersed in hydrophilic and hydrophobic medium respectively. Hydrophobic silica nanoparticles dispersed in hydrophobic domains of PEMs largely suppressed swelling of hydrophilic domains by absorbing water without interrupting proton conduction occurred in hydrophilic membrane. Consequently, proton conductivity and water-swelling could be freely controlled by simply dispersing silica nanopartilces within the membrane.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. We investigated the effects of lithium salts, plasticizer addition, temperature dependence of conductivity and electrochemical stability window of polyethylene oxide(PEO) electrolytes. PEO electrolyte completed with LiCIO$\_$4/ shows the better conductivity than the others. PEO-LiCIO$\_$4/ electrolyte, when EO/Li$\^$+/ ratio is 8, showed adequate conductivity around room temperature. By adding propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate to PEO-LiCIO$\_$4/ electrolyte, its conductivity was higher than that of PEO-LiCIO$\_$4/ without those. Also PEO$\_$8/LiCIO$\_$4/ electrolyte remains stable up to 4.5V vs. Li/Li.
