Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) show promise for improving the lithium ion battery safety. However, due to oxidation of the PEO group and corrosion of the Al current collector, PEO-based SPEs have not previously been effective for use in $LiCoO_2$ (LCO) cathode materials at room temperature. In this paper, a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) PEO-based SPE was applied to examine the performance of a LCO/SPE/Li metal cell at different voltage ranges. The results indicate that the SPE can be applied to LCO-based lithium polymer batteries with high electrochemical performance. By using a carbon-coated aluminum current collector, the Al corrosion was mostly suppressed during cycling, resulting in improvement of the cell cycle stability.

$LiFePO_4$ is a potential candidate for the cathode material of the lithium polymer batteries. $LiFePO_4$ cathode active materials were synthesized by coating on the $LiFePO_4$ was tried using $TiO_2$ and corbon in oreder to increase cyclic performance and electronic conductivity. Highly dispersed on the particles enhances the electronic conductivity and increases the capacity. For lithium polymer battery applications, $LiFePO_4$/SPE/Li and $LiFePO_4$-$TiO_2$/SPE/Li 'cells were characterized electrochemically by cyclic volatammetry and charge/discharge cycling. The $LiFePO_4$-carbon-$TiO_2$ cathode in PVDF-PC-EC-$LiCIO_4$ electrolyte showed high capacity at high current density.

Started upon it discovery by Wright et al in 1973, studies on the solid polymer electrolyte are being carried out vigorously. So, models of Li-polymer battery have been developed through R-L-C components combination and P-spice functional block in this paper. The impedance characteristics of Li-polymer battery with R-L-C components are presented. Simulation results using P-spice functional model are compared with measured charge/discharge characteristics.

In this study, we fabricated a parallelly connected Li-ion battery/supercapacitor hybrid cell to combine the advantageous characteristics of Li-ion battery and supercapacitor, high energy density and high power density, respectively, and investigated its discharging characteristics over a wide temperature range from -40 to $25^{\circ}C$. At the initial state of discharging of the hybrid cell, the power was mostly provided by the supercapacitor and then the portion of the Li-ion battery was gradually increased. By installing a switching system into the hybrid cell, which controls the discharging sequence of Li-ion battery and supercapacitor, the maximum power was improved by 40% compared with non switching system. In addition at low temperatures, the power and discharging time of the hybrid cell were significantly enhanced compared to a battery-alone system. The hybrid cell is expected to be applied in electric vehicles and small domestic appliances that require high power at initial discharging state.

The polymeric membrane, a component of battery devices such as Li-ion battery (LIB) and Li-polymer battery (LPB), is a typical material in which the carrier mobility dominates the battery performance. In this paper, the state-of-the-art of membranes for secondary battery is described in terms of membrane properties. Several prerequisites, which are related to stability of battery devices, are discussed to design and prepare suitable polymeric membranes. In addition, physical requirements of membranes and their measurement methods are described to develop applicable polymeric membranes in membrane preparation processes.

In this study, polyurethane acrylate macromer was synthesized and it was used in a gel polymer electrolyte, and then its electrochemical performances were evaluated. LiCoO$_2$/GPE/MCF cells were also prepared and their performances depending on discharge currents and temperatures were evaluated. ionic conductivity of the gel polymer electrolyte with PUA at room temperature and -20$^{\circ}C$ was ca. 4.5 x 10$\^$-3/ S/cm and 1.7${\times}$10$\^$-3/ S/cm, respectively. GPE was stable electrochemically up to 4.5 V vs. Li/Li$\^$+/. LiCoO$_2$/GPE/MCF cell showed a good high-rate and a low-temperature performance.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte with plasticizer is very unstable. Passivation phenomena in polymer electrolyte cell was described by the SPL model. The time dependance of the impedance indicates that a passivation layer grows rapidly on the Li surface. However, the growing of passivation layer on the Li surface can be restrained by addition of zeolite to the PEO electrolyte. It suggested that addition of zeoliteto to the PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte effectively controls the formation of a passivation layer on Li electrode.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. The temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical properties of PAN/PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio were reported for PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte films, which were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PAN/PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt. The conductivity of PAN/PVDF electrolytes was $10^{-3}$S/cm. $PAN_{10}$$PVDF_{10}$$LiClO_4$$PC_{5}$$EC_{5}$ electrolyte has the better conductivity compared to others. The interfacial resistance behavior between the lithium electrode and PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte has also been investigated and compare with that between the lithium electrode and the PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte.

The SOC estimation method based on Kalman Filter(KF) requires the accurate battery model to express the electrical characteristics of the battery. However, the performance of KF SOC estimator can hardly be improved because of the nonlinear characteristic of the battery. This paper proposes the new KF SOC estimator of Lithium-Polymer Battery(LiPB), which considers the variation of parameters based on the hysteresis effect, the magnitude of SOC, the charging/discharging mode and the on/off load conditions. The proposed SOC estimation method is verified with the PSIM simulation combined the experimental data of the LiPB.
