  • Recently lithium ion secondary batteries (LIB) have rapidly developed because of their advantages such as high energy densities and capacities. Among them, an electrical vehicle which is the one of the environmental-friendly transportation facilities has been received a great attention, but, it is needed to overcome several obstacles of the LIB performances. LIB is practically adapted to Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), but the issues for high capacities, long life time and safety should be solved. Moreover, LIBs still have some possibilities of explosion in the case of overheating of the used organic electrolyte and overcharging of the cell. Hence, it is urgently needed to replace the liquid electrolytes into the solid electrolytes due to the safety issues. Therefore, in this review, we summarized and discussed the research trends of the solid electrolyte to solve the concerns of safety and capacity of LIBs and published patents and articles.

  • Nine tons of fresh rice straw from early-maturing varieties was ensiled with 50 g urea $kg^{-1}$ DM straw in plastic bags immediately after threshing. Five months after storage, preserved straw was used to partially replace elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum, Schumach) for lactating cows. Eight crossbred Holstein lactating cows (75% of Holstein blood) in their second to fourth lactation and in mid-lactation were arranged in a balanced design with two squares consisting of $4\;periods{\times}4\;treatments$ (100% grass ad lib. as a control; 75% grass+urea treated fresh rice straw (UTrFRS) ad lib.; 50% grass+UTrFRS ad lib.; 25% grass+UTrFRS ad libitum) in one square. A concentrate supplement was given at a rate of 400 g per day per kg of milk produced. Samples of fresh straw taken in the field and UTrFRS and elephant grass taken at feeding time were evaluated in a degradation trial with 3 fistulated heifers (undefined blood ratio of crossbred of Sindhi and local yellow cattle). Straw preserved for 5-9 months was in nearly all cases of good quality. Crude protein (CP) content was increased 2.1 fold and 48 h dry matter loss (DML) was 20% higher compared to dry straw. Elephant grass cultivated intensively was low in DM content and 10% higher in 48 h DML compared to UTrFRS. Dry matter intake (DMI) was higher for the mixture of UtrFRS and Elephant grass, and highest when one-third of the roughage was UTrFRS. Higher DMI of mixed roughage diets was probably due to the low DM content of elephant grass in the sole grass roughage diet. Increasing substitution of elephant grass with UTrFRS up to 75% of the roughage component increased milk fat content and had no effect on milk yield and other milk composition parameters. Feeding UTrFRS, partially replacing elephant grass in the diets of lactating cows in the dry season can reduce the cost of roughage.

  • This paper presents a new state of charge(SOC) estimation of large capacity of Li-ion battery (LIB) based on the multiple model adaptive estimation(MMAE) method. We first introduce an equivalent circuit model of LIB. The relationship between the terminal voltage and the open circuit voltage(OCV) is nonlinear and may vary depending on the changes of temperature and C-rate. In this paper, such behaviors are described as a set of multiple linear time invariant impedance models. Each model is identified at a temperature and a C-rate. These model set must be obtained a priori for a given LIB. It is shown that most of impedances can be modeled by first-order and second-order transfer functions. For the real time estimation, we transform the continuous time models into difference equations. Subsequently, we construct the model banks in the manner that each bank consists of four adjacent models. When an operating point of cell temperature and current is given, the corresponding model bank is directly determined so that it is included in the interval generated by four operating points of the model bank. The MMAE of SOC at an arbitrary operating point (T $^{\circ}C$, $I_{bat}$[A]) is performed by calculating a linear combination of voltage drops, which are obtained by four models of the selected model bank. The demonstration of the proposed method is shown through simulations using DUALFOIL.

  • Lithium ion battery (LIB) demands increase every year globally to reduce the burden on fossil fuels. LIBs are used in electric vehicles, stationary storage systems and various other applications. Lithium is available in seawater, salt lakes, and brines and its extraction using environmentally friendly and inexpensive methods will greatly relieve the pressure in lithium mining. Membrane separation processes, mainly nanofiltration (NF), is an effective way for the separation of lithium metal from solutions. Electrodialysis and electrolysis are other separation processes used for lithium separation. The process of reverse osmosis (RO) is already a well-established method for the desalination of seawater; therefore, modifying RO membranes to target lithium metals is an excellent alternative method in which the only bottleneck is the interfering presence of other metal elements in the solution. Selectively removing lithium by finding or developing suitable NF membranes can be challenging, but it is nonetheless an exciting area of research. This review discusses in detail about lithium recovery via nanofiltration, electrodialysis, electrolysis and other processes.

  • It is necessarily required in developing Si-based anode materials for lithium ion batteries, and the related researches are actively working especially in Si-carbon composite material. On the other hand, the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries discard huge amount of Si resources, facing the environmental issue. In this study, recycled Si resource is adopted to obtain Si-carbon composite for LIB(Lithium-Ion Batteries). In order to improve high-capacity retention characteristics and cycle stability of a Si anode material for the LIB, two differenct composites having a mass ratio of silicon and pitch of 1:1 and 2:1 are synthesized and electrochemical characteristics of the anode material manufactured by simple self-assembly method. This result in excellent initial capacity with stable cycle life, and confirming the potential use of recycled Si material for LIB.

  • Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) is an simple analysis method for directly quantifying many kinds of soil micro-elements on site using a small size of laser without pre-treatment at any property of materials(solid, liquid and gas). The purpose of this study were to find an optimum condition of the LIBS measurement including wavelengths for quantifying soil elements, to relate spectral properties to the concentration of soil elements using LIBS as a simultaneous un-breakdown quantitative analysis technology, which can be applied for the safety assessment of agricultural products and precision agriculture, and to compare the results with a standardized chemical analysis method. Soil samples classified as fine-silty, mixed, thermic Typic Hapludalf(Memphis series) from grassland and uplands in Tennessee, USA were collected, crushed, and prepared for further analysis or LIBS measurement. The samples were measured using LIBS ranged from 200 to 600 nm(0.03 nm interval) with a Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm, with a beam energy of 25 mJ per pulse, a pulse width of 5 ns, and a repetition rate of 10 Hz. The optimum wavelength(${\lambda}nm$) of LIBS for estimating soil and plant elements were 308.2 nm for Al, 428.3 nm for Ca, 247.8 nm for T-C, 438.3 nm for Fe, 766.5 nm for K, 85.2 nm for Mg, 330.2 nm for Na, 213.6 nm for P, 180.7 nm for S, 288.2 nm for Si, and 351.9 nm for Ti, respectively. Coefficients of determination($r^2$) of calibration curve using standard reference soil samples for each element from LIBS measurement were ranged from 0.863 to 0.977. In comparison with ICP-AES(Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) measurement, measurement error in terms of relative standard error were calculated. Silicon dioxide(SiO2) concentration estimated from two methods showed good agreement with -3.5% of relative standard error. The relative standard errors for the other elements were high. It implies that the prediction accuracy is low which might be caused by matrix effect such as particle size and constituent of soils. It is necessary to enhance the measurement and prediction accuracy of LIBS by improving pretreatment process, standard reference soil samples, and measurement method for a reliable quantification method.

  • 시간과 공간의 구애를 받지 않는 양질의 음성, 화상, 문자정보의 교환을 위한 노력으로 디지털 휴대폰과 휴대용 컴퓨터가 등장하면서 음성과 문자정보의 교환분야에 커다란 진보를 이룩하였다. 그러나 현재는 휴대폰이 음성정보에 문자정보교환이 추가된 상황이기 때문에, 아직도 관련 정보교환기술 및 기기개발이 진행되고 있다. 앞으로 휴대폰과 휴대용 컴퓨터의 기능을 통합하고 화상정보까지 결합된 휴대용 정보기기를 위해서는 전자회로의 집적화 및 통신속도 증대가 필수적이다. 또한 이들 휴대용 정보기기를 구동시키기 위한 전력도 증가될 것으로 예측되기 때문에, 현재 전원으로 사용되는 2차전지보다 에너지 밀도가 더욱 증패된 전지가 요구될 것으로 예상된다. 그리고 내연기관의 배기에 의해 발생되는 환정오염문제를 해결하기 위한 방법중의 일환으로 전기자동차 개발이 진행되고 있으며, 이들 전기자동차에 2차전지를 장착하기 위해서 경제성이 있고, 고속충전이 가능하고, 안전성이 높은 고에너지 밀도의 2차 전지 개발이 요구되고 있다. 현재 2차전지는 음극재료나 양극재료에 따라 낚축전지, 니켈/카드륨(Ni/Cd) 전지, 니켈/수소(Ni/MH) 전지, 라륨 2 차전지등이 있으며, 전극재료의 고유특성에 의해 전위와 애너지 밀도가 결정된다. 특히 리튬 2차전지는 리튬의 낮은 산화환원전위와 분자량으로 인해 에너지 밀도가 높기 때문에 앞에서 언급한 휴대용 전자기기의 구동전원으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 리튬 2차전지는 음극 재료가 금속리튬인 경우는 리튬금속으로, 탄소재료인 경우는 리튬이온이라 하며, 한편으로 전해질이 고체 고분자이거나 혹은 역체 유기용매와 리튬염을 고분자와 혼성시킨 겔(gel)인 경우는 고분자로, 전해짙이 리튬염이 전리되어 있는 유동성 액체일 경우는 고분자를 생략하여 구분하고 있다. 즉 리튬금속 2 차전지(LB), 리튬이온 2 차전지(LIB), 리튬금속 고분자 2차전지(LPB), 리튬 이온 고분자 2차전지(LIPB)로 크게 구분된다. 금속리듐을 음극으로 사용하고 전해질로는 리튬염이 전리되어 있는 액체유기용매 를 사용한 리튬금속 2차전지는, 금속리튬전극이 충방전 과정을 반복하면서, 전리된 리튬이 균일하게 산화환원되지 못하고 표변에서 양극방향으로 성장하는 수지상 (dendrite) 현상으로 인해 안전성 확보에 문게가 있었다. 리튬과 알루미늄 합금형태로 음극에 사용한 동전형 전지는 상용화 되었지만, 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해 리튬이온이 금속으로 석활되는 환원반응전위보다 높은 전위에서 전극재료가 충전되면서 리튬이온이 저장되고, 방전되면서 배출되는 탄소를 음극재료로, 그리고 리튬이온이 충방 전시 가역적으로 삼입 탈리되는 층상의 리튬금속산화물을 양극으로 구성하고, 엑체 전해질과 다공성 고분자 분리막을 사용한 것이 LIB이다. LIB에서 리튬이온의 이동이 가능한 액체전해질의 가능을 고분자 전해질이 대신함으로서 보다 높은 안정성을 확보 한 전지가 LIPB 이다. 또한 고분자 전해질을 사용한 경우 금속리튬상에서의 수지상 성장이 저하되는 현상이 관찰됨으로서, 이론용량이 3,860mAh/g 에 달하는 리튬금속 혹은 합금을 고분자 전지에서 음극으로 사용하고자 하는 2 차전지가 LPB 이다. 리튬 2차전지는 비록 1989년 액체전해질을 사용한 금속리튬 2차전지의 실패전력을 안고있지만 궁극적으로는 이론적으로 최대의 에너지밀도를 가지고 있는 LPB를 지 향할 것으로 예상되지만 가까운 장래에 실현되기는 어려울 것이다. 따라서 향후의 라튬 2차전지의 전개방향은 현재의 LIB를 고분자 전해질을 채용하는 LIPB로 진행시커면서 저가의 전극재료개발을 지속적으로 추진할 것으로 예상된다. 현재 리튬 2차전지는 소형전지에 국한되고 있지만 전기자동차나 전력저장용으로 이를 대형화시커기 위해서는 열적특성이 우수하고 저가인 전극재료개발이 선행되야하기 때문에, 저가의 탄소재료와 코발트산화물을 대신할 수 있는 철, 망칸 또는 니켈산 화물의 개발이 필요하다.
