With the widespread use of modern clean energy, lithium-ion batteries have become essential as a more reliable energy storage component in the energy Internet. However, due to the difference in monomers, some of the battery over-charge or over-discharge in battery packs restrict their use. Therefore, a novel multiphase interleaved converter for reducing the inconsistencies of the individual cells in a battery pack is proposed in this paper. Based on the multiphase converter branches connected to each lithium battery, this circuit realizes energy transferred from any cell(s) to any other cell(s) complementarily. This flexible interlaced converter is composed of an improved bi-directional Buck-Boost circuit that is presented with its own available control method. A simulation model based on the PNGV model of fundamental equalization is built with four cells in PSIM. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that converter and its control achieve simple and fast equalization. Furthermore, a comparison of traditional methods and the HNFABC equalization is provided to show the performance of the converter and the control of lithium-based battery stacks.

Li-ion batteries have been gaining increasing importance, driven by the growing utilization of renewable energy and the expansion of electric vehicles. To meet market demands, it is essential to ensure high energy density and battery safety. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted significant attention as a potential solution. Among the advantages, they operate with an ion-conductive solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte therefore significantly reducing the risk of fire. In addition, by using high-capacity alternative electrode materials, ASSBs offer a promising opportunity to enhance energy density, making them highly desirable in the automotive and secondary battery industries. In ASSBs, Li metal can be used as the anode, providing a high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh/g). However, challenges related to the high interfacial resistance between Li metal and solid electrolytes and those concerning material degradation during charge-discharge cycles need to be addressed for the successful commercialization of ASSBs. This review introduces and discusses the interfacial reactions between Li metal and solid electrolytes, along with research cases aiming to improve these interactions. Additionally, future development directions in this field are explored.

현재 전기자동차와 신재생에너지전원의 출력안정화에 필수적인 2차전지가 개발되고 있고, 2차전지의 효율적인 운용을 위하여 상태감시 기술과 수명예측 기술이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 2차전지 상태감시 방법으로는 전압과 비중에 의한 충전상태평가 방법 등이 있으나, 이 방법은 온도에 따라 변화되는 전압과 비중의 특성을 고려할 수 없는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 즉, 2차전지의 SOC를 평가하기 위해서는 전지 케이스 내부의 전해액 온도에 따라 달라지는 비중 값을 측정해야 하지만, 대부분의 2차전지는 밀폐형으로 보급되고 있어서 전해액의 상태를 파악하기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전지내부의 온도를 보정하는 열전달식을 유도함으로 정확한 SOC평가 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 또한 2차전지의 수명 예측 방법으로는 내부저항 측정 또는 잔존 용량 측정 등의 수명 예측 방법들이 있으나, 충 방전상태와 충전 후 방치시간, 사용 환경 등 여러 가지 요인에 의해 2차전지의 수명을 정확하게 판단하기 어렵다. 따라서 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 $20^{\circ}C$로 환산된 비중 값에 대하여 전지의 충 방전에 대한 비중누적 값을 계산함으로 충 방전 사이클을 판정하는 수명예측 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 상기에서 제시한 알고리즘을 바탕으로 시험 장치를 제작하여 다양한 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 기존의 방법에 비하여 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 정확한 연축전지의 상태감시 및 수명예측에 대한 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

스피넬계 $LiMn_2O_4$를 양극 활물질로 사용하는 리튬이온전지의 전기화학적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 서로 상이한 입자크기를 가지는 Super P Black 및 $Vulcan^{(R)}$ XC-72R을 사용한 이성분계 전도성물질을 제조하였다. 이렇게 이성분계 전도성물질을 사용하여 제조되어진 $LiMn_2O_4$ 전지 시스템은 충 방전 동안의 비용량 및 사이클 수명의 관점에서 특성 평가되었다. 결과적으로 Super P Black 및 $Vulcan^{(R)}$ XC-72R이 3:7의 비율로 구성되어진 이성분계 전도성물질을 사용하였을 때의 전지가 우수한 전기화학적 성능을 보여주었으며 이는 적절한 조합의 ionic diffusion rate와 electric contact에 의해 제어되어졌기 때문인 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는 합성한 styrene-acrylonitrile(SAN) 전구체를 기반으로 한 탄소를 제조하였다. 그 제조된 탄소는 화학적 환원법으로 활성화하였고, 그 활성화된 SAN 기반 탄소를 A-SAN이라 명명하였다. 전기이중층 커패시터의 전극용 A-SAN 기반 탄소의 표면 특성과 전기화학적 특성에 있어서 활성화 온도에 의한 효과를 확인하기 위해 다양한 온도에서 활성화를 진행하였다. A-SAN의 특성분석을 위해 X-선 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM) 그리고 비표면적 장치에 의해 조사되었다. 또한 전기화학적 거동은 순환전류전압과 정전류 충방전법으로 측정하였다. 그 실험 결과로부터, A-SAN 700이 우수한 전기화학적 특성과 가장 높은 비축전용량 값을 보였지만, 활성화 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$가 넘으면 이러한 특성들은 감소했다. 이것은 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서의 활성화가 마이크로 기공 구조의 변형을 야기하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

A wireless tram which runs without catenary and instead uses batteries installed in the tram has been recently researched actively. This paper presents a new method maximizing absorption of regenerative energy of a wireless tram and extending life cycle of the energy storage device in the wireless tram by applying line-optimized charging and discharging scenario. Energy efficiency and life cycle of energy storage system (ESS) are highly dependent on the characteristic of operating conditions. For example, frequent charge and discharge with high power cause the problems that decrease the battery life cycles. Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is combination of two ESSs which have complementary characteristics to each other. HESS can provide even better functionality and performance than the battery only ESS due to the synergy effect of two ESSs. This paper also provides a power distribution strategy and driving scenarios which increase the life cycle and energy efficiency of the HESS consisting of a battery and an ultra-capacitor. The developed strategy was tested and verified by a hardware-in-the-loop-simulation (HILS) system which emulates the a wireless tram.

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. All packed items that are particularly sensitive to static discharge must be protected by antistatic treatment. Otherwise, static electricity generated by an electrical insulator may cause serious damages to some sensitive electronics. In order to remove or prevent a buildup of static electricity, packed items must be treated with the application of an antistatic agent, which helps any excess charge to be evenly distributed. Functional pulp tray used for packing of electronic goods was developed with application of an antistatic agent. As the concentration of the antistatic agent increased, charging voltage and surface resistance of molded pulps decreased. The increase of humidity in surrounding atmosphere around molded pulps led to the decrease of accumulation of static charges. In conclusion, the surface treatment of the antistatic agent not only reduced or eliminated buildup of static electricity in the surface, but also prevented generation of tiny dirts from molded tray.

Modern technology-driven society largely relies on hybrid electric vehicles or electric vehicles for eco-friendly transportation and the use of high technology devices. Lithium rechargeable batteries are the most promising power sources because of its high energy density but still have a challenge. Graphite is the most widely used anode material in the field of lithium rechargeable batteries due to its many advantages such as good cyclic performances, and high charge/discharge efficiency in the initial cycle. However, it has an important safety issue associated with the dendritic lithium growth on the anode surface at high charging current because the conventional graphite approaches almost 0 V vs $Li/Li^+$ at the end of lithium insertion. Therefore, a fundamental solution is to use an electrochemical redox couple with higher equilibrium potentials, which suppresses lithium metal formation on the anode surface. Among the candidates, $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ is a very interesting intercalation compound with safe operation, high rate capability, no volume change, and excellent cycleability. But the insulating character of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ has raised concerns about its electrochemical performance. The initial insulating character associated with Ti4+ in $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ limits the electronic transfer between particles and to the external circuit, thereby worsening its high rate performance. In order to overcome these weak points, several alternative synthetic methods are highly required. Hence, in this presentation, novel ways using a synergetic strategy based on 1D architecture and surface coating will be introduced to enhance the kinetic property of Ti-based electrode. In addition, first-principle calculation will prove its significance to design Ti-based electrode for the most optimized electrochemical performance.

Lead free $(Ba_{0.7}Ca_{0.3})TiO_3$ thick films with nano-sized grains are prepared using an aerosol deposition (AD) method at room temperature. The crystallinity of the AD thick films is enhanced by a post annealing process. Contrary to the sharp phase transition of bulk ceramics that has been reported, AD films show broad phase transition behaviors due to the nano-sized grains. The polarization-electric hysteresis loop of annealed AD film shows ferroelectric behaviors. With an increase in annealing temperature, the saturation polarization increases because of an increase in crystallinity. However, the remnant polarization and cohesive field are not affected by the annealing temperature. BCT AD thick films annealed at $700^{\circ}C/2h$ have an energy density of $1.84J/cm^3$ and a charge-discharge efficiency of 69.9 %, which is much higher than those of bulk ceramic with the same composition. The higher energy storage properties are likely due to the increase in the breakdown field from a large number of grain boundaries of nano-sized grains.

전기자동차를 이용하여 계통에 전력을 공급하는 Vehicle to Grid(V2G)의 구현을 위한 통신표준으로 ISO/IEC 15118이 적용되고 있다. 통신 프로토콜에 기반을 두는 전기자동차의 충방전 제어 시에 필연적으로 충방전 실행까지의 시간지연이 발생하게 되는데, 이러한 시간지연은 전력 유연성 공급 측면에서 제한의 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 ISO/IEC 15118 기반 V2G 에뮬레이터를 구현하고 전기 자동차 충방전 제어에 따른 반응성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 시간지연은 0.12ms로 나타났으며, 이를 기반으로 현 표준 하에서 참여 가능한 전력 유연성 시장에 대하여 검토하였다.
