고에너지밀도 대용량 리튬이온전지를 채용한 전기자동차 및 에너지저장시스템에서 발생하고 있는 발화사고로 인해, 고안전성 전고체 리튬이차전지(All-solid-state Lithium Secondary Battery, ALSB)에 대한 연구가 국내외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 단순히 액체전해질을 고체전해질로만 바꾸는 것이 아니라, 이로 인해 수반되는 전극 및 전지 설계와 해석이 크게 달라진다는 점에서 해결해야 될 이슈들이 산재해 있다. 특히, 전지는 전극 설계에 따라 그 성능이 굉장히 상이함에도 불구하고, 실질적인 전고체 전지 실험 구현의 어려움으로 전고체 전극(All-solid-state Electrode, ASSE) 설계에 따른 성능 차이를 체계적으로 비교 분석하여 최적화하는 연구는 매우 제한적이다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로, 가상의 3차원 전고체 전극 구조체를 형성하고, 형성된 구조체를 바탕으로 다양한 성능 결정 파라미터를 도출하며, 더불어 분석 전극을 포함한 전지의 성능까지 예측할 수 있는 기술을 개발하는 연구가 주목을 받기 시작했다. 본 총설에서는 3차원 전고체 전극 구조체 형성부터 전고체 리튬이차전지의 성능을 예측하는 기술까지 각각의 기술들이 갖고 있는 장단점을 폭넓게 다룰 것이며, 나아가 본 기술이 나아갈 최종적인 목표까지 간략히 기술하고자 한다.

Interest in the future of the battery market is growing as Tesla announces plans to increase production of electric vehicles and to produce batteries. Tesla announced an action plan to reduce battery prices by 56% through 'Battery Day', which included expansion of factories to internalize batteries and improvement of materials and production technology. In the trend of automobile electrification, the expansion of the battery market, which accounts for 40% of the cost of electric vehicles, is inevitable, and the size of the electric vehicle battery market in 2026 is expected to increase more than five times compared to 2016. With the development of materials and process technology, the energy density of electric vehicle batteries is increasing while the price is decreasing. Soon, electric vehicles and internal combustion locomotives are expected to compete on the same line. Recently, the mileage of electric vehicles is approaching that of an internal combustion locomotive due to the installation of high-capacity batteries. In the EV battery market, Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies are fiercely competing. Based on market share in the first half of 2020, LG Chem, CATL, and Panasonic are leading the EV battery supply, and the top 10 companies included 3 Korean companies, 5 Chinese companies, and 2 Japanese companies. All-solid, lithium-sulfur, sodium-ion, and lithium air batteries are being discussed as the next-generation batteries after lithium-ion, among which all-solid-state batteries are the most active. All-solid-state batteries can dramatically improve stability and charging speed by using a solid electrolyte, and are excellent in terms of technology readiness level (TRL) among various technology alternatives. In order to increase the competitiveness of the battery industry in the future, efforts to increase the productivity and economy of electric vehicle batteries are also required along with the development of next-generation battery technology.

Recently, the use of stable lithium nanostructures as substrates and electrodes for secondary batteries can be a fundamental alternative to the development of next-generation system semiconductor devices. However, lithium structures pose safety concerns by severely limiting battery life due to the growth of Li dendrites during rapid charge/discharge cycles. Also, enabling long cyclability of high-voltage oxide cathodes is a persistent challenge for all-solid-state batteries, largely because of their poor interfacial stabilities against oxide solid electrolytes. For the development of next-generation system semiconductor devices, solid electrolyte nanostructures, which are used in high-density micro-energy storage devices and avoid the instability of liquid electrolytes, can be promising alternatives for next-generation batteries. Nevertheless, poor lithium ion conductivity and structural defects at room temperature have been pointed out as limitations. In this study, a low-dimensional Graphene Oxide (GO) structure was applied to demonstrate stable operation characteristics based on Li+ ion conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance. The low-dimensional structure of GO-based solid electrolytes can provide an important strategy for stable scalable solid-state power system semiconductor applications at room temperature. The device using uncoated bare NCA delivers a low capacity of 89 mA h g-1, while the cell using GO-coated NCA delivers a high capacity of 158 mA h g−1 and a low polarization. A full Li GO-based device was fabricated to demonstrate the practicality of the modified Li structure using the Li-GO heterointerface. This study promises that the lowdimensional structure of Li-GO can be an effective approach for the stabilization of solid-state power system semiconductor architectures.
