본 연구에서는 충전용 이차전지의 분리막으로 쓰이는 다공성 막을 기존의 분리막 재료보다 뛰어난 물성을 나타내는 PVdF(poly(vinylidene fluoride))를 사용하여 상전이 방법으로 제조하였다. 용매인 DMF(N,N-dimethylformamide)에 PVdF를 단일상으로 녹인 후 깨끗한 유리판에 캐스팅하여 막을 얻었다. 얻어진 분리막에서 가장 높은 공극률은 78.6%로 얻어졌다. UTM(universal testing machine)을 이용하여 측정된 분리막의 인장강도는 PVdF 20 wt%에서 5.16 MPa의 값을 나타내었다. 시차주사현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 이용하여 분리막의 단면 관찰을 통해 다공성을 확인하였다.

센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드들은 소형 배터리로 동작하면서 환경에 대한 정보를 수집하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 최근 관련 하드웨어 기준이 발전하고 있지만, 여전히 에너지와 관련된 제약조건이 주요한 고려사항이 되고 있다. 즉 일반적으로 센서 노드의 전원은 교환이나 충전이 곤란한 경우를 가정하고 있으며, 따라서 이러한 상황을 기본 가정으로 하여 응용을 개발하여야 한다. 에너지 소모는 메시지의 전송에 큰 영향을 받게 되므로, 질의처리를 위한 메시지의 수를 줄일 수 있는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 이를 위해서 일반적으로 다른 센서들과 협력하여 관련된 정보를 미리 유지하도록 하여 불필요한 전파를 막게 하는 기법들이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 센서 노드들간의 부모-자식 관계를 이용하여 메시지의 수를 줄일 수 있는 조를 제안하였다. 즉 부모노드들은 자신의 자식노드들에 대한 위치 정보 및 각 자식들의 자손들을 모두 포함하는 영역정보(MBA)를 유지하도록 한다. 이는 각 노드가 유지해야 할 정보의 양을 줄이면서도 분산 방식으로 정보가 관리될 수 있게 된다. 또한 유지하는 정보의 정확성을 높임으로써 불필요한 메시지의 수를 크게 줄일 수 있게 된다. 마지막으로 다양한 실험을 거쳐 제안한 구조의 이러한 장점을 보여주었다.

A nano-porous structure of tin oxide was prepared using an anodic oxidation process and the sample's electrochemical properties were evaluated for application as an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery. Microscopic images of the as-anodized sample indicated that it has a nano-porous structure with an average pore size of several tens of nanometers and a pore wall size of about 10 nanometers; the structural/compositional analyses proved that it is amorphous stannous oxide (SnO). The powder form of the as-anodized specimen was satisfactorily lithiated and delithiated as the anode in a lithium battery. Furthermore, it showed high initial reversible capacity and superior rate performance when compared to previous fabrication attempts. Its excellent electrode performance is probably due to the effective alleviation of strain arising from a cycling-induced large volume change and the short diffusion length of lithium through the nano-structured sample. To further enhance the rate performance, the attempt was made to create porous tin oxide film on copper substrate by anodizing the electrodeposited tin. Nevertheless, the full anodization of tin film on a copper substrate led to the mechanical disintegration of the anodic tin oxide, due most likely to the vigorous gas evolution and the surface oxidation of copper substrate. The adhesion of anodic tin oxide to the substrate, together with the initial reversibility and cycling stability, needs to be further improved for its application to high-power electrode materials in lithium batteries.

Size controlled, $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ cathode powders were prepared by co-precipitation method followed by heat treatment at temperatures between 750 and $850^{\circ}C$. The synthesized samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical performance. The synthesized $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ after calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ has a good electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of $190mAhg^{-1}$ and good capacity retention of 100% after 30 cycles at 0.1C ($17mAg^{-1}$). The capacity retention of $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ after calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ is better than that at 800 and $850^{\circ}C$ without capacity loss at various high C rates. This is ascribed to the minimized cation disorder, a higher conductivity, and higher lithium ion diffusion coefficient ($D_{Li}$) observed in this material. In the differential scanning calorimetry DSC profile of the charged sample, the generation of heat by exothermic reaction was decreased by calcined at high temperature, and this decrease is especially at $850^{\circ}C$. This behavior implies that the high temperature calcinations of $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ prevent phase transitions with the release of oxygen.

리튬이온전지의 음극재로 높은 이론적인 용량과 낮은 방전 전위 및 무독성을 가진 실리콘이 높은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 리튬이온전지의 고효율 음극재로 활용을 위한 실리콘-탄소나노튜브-탄소(Si-CNT-C) 복합체를 제조하였다. 복합체 제조를 위해서는 에어로졸 자기조립과 후 열처리 공정을 사용하였다. 제조된 Si-CNT-C 복합체는 구형이었으며 평균 입자크기는 $2.72{\mu}m$이었다. 복합체의 크기는 실리콘 및 탄소나노튜브의 농도가 증가할수록 커지는 것을 확인하였다. Si-CNT-C 복합체는 탄소나노튜브와 글루코스에서 탄화된 탄소가 실리콘 입자들을 중심으로 표면에 부착된 형태이었다. 제조된 Si-CNT-C 복합체는 전기화학 분석을 통해 순수한 실리콘보다 우수한 사이클 성능을 보여주고 있음을 확인하였다.

Nano-sized Sn powder was prepared by pulsed wire evaporation method. The Sn powder and carbon black were charged in jar and ball milled. The milling time was varied with 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h, respectively. The milled powders were dried and the shape and size were observed by FE-SEM. Nano-sized Sn powders were plastic-deformed and agglomerated by impact force of balls and heat generated during the SPEX milling. The agglomerated Sn powder also consisted of many nano-sized particles. Initial discharge capacities of milled Sn electrode powders with carbon powder were milled for 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h were 787, 829, 827, and 816 mAh/g, respectively. After 5 cycle, discharge capacities of Sn electrode powders with carbon powder milled for 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h decreased as 271, 331, 351, and 287 mAh/g, respectively. Because Sn electrode powders milled for 2h constist of uniform and fine size, the cyclability of coin cell made of this powders is better than others.

A process to synthesize $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_3$ (LSC), which is a promising material for use as a separator in a soild oxide fuel cell, is investigated in this study. LSC powders without secondary Phases could be synthesized with ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and a heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 20 h; however, it showed an average diameter of $0.6{\mu}m$ with a wide particle size distribution. On the other hand, LSC powders synthesized with spray pyrolysis at $800^{\circ}C$, heat-treated at $900^{\circ}C$ for 5 h, ball-milled and finally heat-treated again at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 20 h showed a smaller average diameter of $0.3{\mu}m$ and narrower size distribution. Very few particles above $0.5{\mu}m$ were found. Thus, a proper combination of the heat treatment and milling process after spray pyrolysis it determined to be very important in synthesizing fine and uniform LSC perovskite powders.

$SnO-2$ thin films for thin film secondary battery anode were deposited n glass substrate with stain-less steel collector and charge/discharge experiments were conducted to investigate feasibility of $SnO-2$ thin film as a new anode material. The as-deposited films were pure $SnO-2$ phase which is not related to deposition condition. The grain size on the surface of as-deposited films increased with increase of oxygen partial pressure. However, the grain size did not show any change above oxygen partial pressure of 80:20. The surface roughness of the as-deposited films increased after decreasing because of resputtering effect of oxygen negative ion in plasma. All films showed typical $SnO-2$ anode characteristics which has a side effect at the first cycle, which is not related to the deposition condition. The charge/discharge experiments of 200cycles indicated that capacity of $SnO-2$ films depended on oxygen contents and surface roughness. The cycle characteristics was determined by initial charge/discharge reaction. The $SnO-2$ film with low initial capacity showed more stable cycle characteristics than film with high initial capacity.

As a promising candidate for anode materials in lithium ion battery (LIB), tungsten trioxide ($WO_3$) and tungsten disulfide ($WS_2$) nanocrystals were synthesized, and their electrochemical properties were comprehensibly studied using a half cell. One-dimensional $WO_3$ nanowires with uniform diameter of 10 nm were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and two-dimensional (2D) $WS_2$ nanosheets by unique gas phase sulfurization of $WO_3$ using $H_2S$. $WS_2$ nanosheets exhibits uniformly 10 nm thickness. The $WO_3$ nanowires and $WS_2$ nanosheets showed maximum capacities of 552 and $633mA\;h\;g^{-1}$, respectively, after 100 cycles. Especially, the capacity of $WS_2$ is significantly larger than the theoretical capacity ($433mA\;h\;g^{-1}$). We also examined the cycling performance using a larger size $WO_3$ and $WS_2$ nanocrystals, showing that the smaller size plays an important role in enhancing the capacity of LIBs. The larger capacity of $WS_2$ nanosheets than the theoretical value is ascribed to the lower charge transfer resistance of 2D nanostructures.
