50/50 vol% LSM-YSZ (La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$MnO$_3$-yttria stabilized zirconia)의 복합공기극이 콜로이드 증착법에 의해 연마된 YSZ 전해질상에 증착되었다. 그 전극 특성은 주사전자현미경, X선회절과 임피던스 분석기에 의해 연구되어졌다. 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 공기/LSM -YSZ/YSZ/Pt/공기 셀에 대해 측정된 전형적인 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 2개의 불완전한 호(depressed arc)로 구성되었다. LSM 전극에 대한 YSZ의 첨가는 전극내의 삼상계(TPB) 영역을 증가시켰으며, 이것이 LSM-YSZ 복합공기극의 비저항을 감소시켰다. 또한 전해질 표면의 불순물 제거와 TPB 길이의 증가를 위한 전해질 표면연마는 공기극의 비저항을 훨씬 더 감소시켰다. LSM-YSZ 공기극의 비저항은 작동온도, 공기극의 조성과 입자크기, 인가전류 및 전해질의 표면거칠기에 의해 큰 영향을 받았다.

고온에서 Mn 이온 용출에 의한 성능저하를 보이는 스피넬 결정구조의 $LiMn_2O_4$ 양극 하이브리드 커패시터의 대안으로 열안정성이 높은 올리빈 결정구조의 $LiFePO_4$ 기반 복합양극 소재의 적용가능성을 연구하였다. $LiFePO_4$/활성탄셀을 이용한 1.0~2.3 V의 충 방전을 통한 수명평가에서 상온($25^{\circ}C$) 및 고온($60^{\circ}C$) 조건 모두에서 충 방전 사이클이 진행됨에 따라 음극(활성탄)의 저전압화에 따른 열화로 인한 용량저하 현상이 나타났다. 이의 해결을 위해 50:50 중량비율로 $LiFePO_4/LiMn_2O_4$, $LiFePO_4$/Activated carbon 및 $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ 복합양극을 제조하여 모노셀 충 방전 실험을 수행한 결과, 층상구조의 $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$를 사용한 전극이 안정적인 전압거동을 보였다. 또한, 2.3 V 및 $80^{\circ}C$에서 1,000시간 부하를 통한 고온 안정성 실험에서도 $LiNi_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ 복합양극이 상용 $LiMn_2O_4$ 양극에 비해 약 2배 가량 높은 방전용량 유지율을 보였다.

출발원료인 바나듐 산화물을 이용한 Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃를 제조하기 위해 N₂H₄·H₂O를 환원제로 사용하였고 낮은 전기 전도성을 개선하기 위하여 알긴산을 탄소원으로 사용하여 직접 공침법을 통해 단사정계 Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C 복합체의 양극 활물질을 합성하여 전기화학 특성을 비교하였다. 구형에 가까운 형상으로 대략 1~2 ㎛의 균일한 입자 크기와 좁은 입도분포를 가지는 Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 제조한 Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C 복합체의 양극 활물질은 Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ 보다 초기 방전용량의 개선과 안정적으로 용량을 유지하는 사이클 특성이 우수하여 탄소 복합체 형성으로 인해 양극 활물질의 전기화학적 성능이 향상하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have received considerable attention because of the advantages of high effiiciency, low pollution, cogeneration application and excellent integration with simplified reformer In this paper, we reported development of anode-tubular SOFC by wet process. For making tubular cell, Ni-cermet YSZ anode tube was fabricated using extrusion process, and YSZ electrolyte layer and LSM-YSZ composite, LSM, LSCF cathode layer were coated onto the anode supported tube using slurry dipping process and sintered by co-firing process. By using this tubular cell, we fabricated single cell consisted of the various cathode layers and 4 cell stack with an effective area of $75 cm^2$ per single cell, and evaluated their performance characteristics.

The LSM-YSZ composite electrode as a mixture of LSM and YSZ shows percolation characteristics. It was identified that the polarization resistance of LSM-YSZ composite electrode depend on YSZ connectivity by changing powder size ratio of the DLSM/DYSZ. That is, YSZ in composite electrode showed low electrochemical activity without YSZ connectivity. However, the polarization resistance decreased abruptly with YSZ connectivity due to high electrochemical activity of YSZ in composite electrode. Because the amount of three phase boundary is dependent on LSM and YSZ particle size, the polarization resistance of cathode decreases as LSM and YSZ particle size decreases.

In this study, successive coating and co-sintering techniques have been used to fabricate LSM/GDC based cathode supported direct carbon fuel cells. The porous LSM/GDC cathode substrate, dense, thin and crack free GDC and ScSZ layers as bi-layer electrolyte, and a porous Ni/ScSZ anode layer was obtained by co-firing at $1400^{\circ}C$. The porous structure of LSM/GDC cathode substrate, after sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$, was obtained due to the presence of GDC phase, which inhibits sintering of LSM because of its higher sintering temperature. The electrochemical characterization of assembled cell was carried out with air as an oxidant and carbon particles in molten carbonate as fuel. The measured open circuit voltages (OCVs) were obtained to be more than 0.99 V, independent of testing temperature. The peak power densities were 116, 195 and $225mWcm^{-2}$ at 750, 800 and $850^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The intermediate operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) have achieved considerable importance in the area of power fabrication. This is because to improve materials compatibility, their long-term stability and cost saving potential. However, to conserve rational cell performance at reduced-temperature regime, cathode performance should be obtained without negotiating the internal resistance and the electrode kinetics of the cell. Recently, double perovskite structure cathodes have been studied with great attention as a potential material for IT-SOFCs. In this study, double-perovskite structured cathodes of $GdBaCoCuO_{5+\delta}$, $GdBaCo_{2/3}Cu_{2/3}Fe_{2/3}O_{5+\delta}$ compositions and $(1-x)GdBaCo_2O_{5+\delta}+xCe_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{1.95}$ (x = 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.%) composites were evaluated as the cathode for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs). Electrical conductivity of the cathodes were measured by DC 4-probe method, and the thermal expansion coefficient of each sample was measured up to $900^{\circ}C$ by a dilatometer study. Area specific resistances(ASR) of the $GdBaCo_{2/3}Cu_{2/3}Fe_{2/3}O_{5+\delta}$ cathode and 70 wt.% $GdBaCo_2O5+\delta$ + 30wt.% Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 composite cathode on CGO electrolyte substrate were analyzed using AC 3-probe impedance study. The obtained results demonstrate that double perovskite-based compositions are promising cathode materials for IT-SOFCs.

To overcome the limitations of the conventional Ni anode-supported SOFCs, various types of ceramic anodes have been studied. However, these ceramic anodes are difficult to commercialize because of their low cell performances and difficulty in manufacturing anode-support typed SOFCs. Therefore, in this study, to use these ceramic anodes and take advantage of anode-supported SOFC, which can minimize ohmic loss from the thin electrolyte, we fabricated cathode support-typed SOFC. The cathode-support of LSCF-YSZ was prepared by the acid treatment of conventional Ni-YSZ (Yttria-stabilized Zirconia) anode-support, followed by the infiltration of LSCF to YSZ scaffold. The composite of $La(Sr)Ti(Ni)O_3$ and $Ce(Mn,Fe)O_2$ was used as the ceramic anode. The fabricated cathode-supported button cell showed a relatively low power density of $0.207Wcm^{-2}$ at $850^{\circ}C$; however, it is expected to show better performance through the optimization of the infiltration rate and thickness of LSCF-YSZ cathode-support layer.

Utilization of high-voltage electrolyte additive(s) at a small fraction is a cost-effective strategy for a good solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and performance improvement of a lithium-rich layered oxide-based high-energy lithium-ion cell by avoiding the occurrence of metal-dissolution that is one of the failure modes. To mitigate metal-dissolution, we explored fluorinated dual-additives of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and di(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)carbonate (DFDEC) for building-up of a good SEI in a 4.7 V full-cell that consists of high-capacity silicon-graphite composite (15 wt% Si/C/CF/C-graphite) anode and Li_1.13Mn_0.463Ni_0.203Co_0.203O₂ (LMNC) cathode. The full-cell including optimum fractions of dual-additives shows increased capacity to 228 mAhg^-1 at 0.2C and improved performance from the one in the base electrolyte. Surface analysis results find that the SEI stabilization of LMNC cathode induced by dual-additives leads to a suppression of soluble Mn²⁺-O formation at cathode surface, mitigating metal-dissolution event and crack formation as well as structural degradation. The SEI and structure of Si/C/CF/C-graphite anode is also stabilized by the effects of dual-additives, contributing to performance improvement. The data give insight into a basic understanding of cathode-electrolyte and anode-electrolyte interfacial processes and cathode-anode interaction that are critical factors affecting full-cell performance.
