For replacing Li metal at Lithium ion Battery(LIB) system, we used carbon powder material which prepared by Pyrolysis of Phenol resin as starting material. It became amorphous carbon by Pyrolysis through it's self condensation by thermal treatment. Amorphous carbon can be doped with Li intercalation and deintercalation because it has wide interlayer. However, it has a problem with structural destroy due to weak carbon-carbon bond. So, we used $ZnCl_2$ as the pore-forming agent. This inorganic salt was used together with the resin serves not only as the pore-forming agent to form open pores, which grow into a three-dimensional network structure in the cured material, but also as the microstructure-controlling agent to form a loose structure doped with bulky dopants. We used SEM in order to find to difference of structure, and can calculate the distance of interlayer by XRD analysis. CV test showed oxidation and reduction.

In this study, we prepared an ionic liquid composite solid polymer electrolyte (PEO-LiTFSI-$Pyr_{14}TFSI$) with poly(ethylen oxide), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide by blending-cross linking process. Although the PEO-LiTFSI-$Pyr_{14}TFSI$ composite solid polymer electrolyte displayed a small peak at 4.4 V, it had high electrochemical oxidation stability up to 5.7 V. Ionic conductivity of the PEO-LiTFSI-$Pyr_{14}TFSI$ composite solid polymer electrolyte increased with increasing temperature from $10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ at $30^{\circ}C$ to $10^{-4}S\;cm^{-1}$ at $70^{\circ}C$. To investigate the electrochemical properties, the PEO-LiTFSI-$Pyr_{14}TFSI$ composite solid polymer electrolyte assembled with $LiFePO_4$ cathode and Li-metal anode. At 0.1 C-rate, the cell delivered $40mAh\;g^{-1}$ for $30^{\circ}C$, $69.8mAh\;g^{-1}$ for $40^{\circ}C$ and $113mAh\;g^{-1}$ for $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The PEO-LiTFSI-$Pyr_{14}TFSI$ solid polymer electrolyte exhibited good charge-discharge performance in Li/SPE/$LiFePO_4$ cells at $50^{\circ}C$.

Li-AGICs as a anode of secondary battery were synthesized by high-pressure method as a function of the Li-contents. The characteristics of these prepared compounds were determined from the studies with X-ray diffraction method, UV/VIS spectrophotometric and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) analysis. From the results of X-ray diffraction, it was found that the lower stage intercalation compounds were formed with increase of Li-contents. The mixed stages in these compounds were also observed. In the case of the $Li_{30wt%}$-AGIC, the compounds in the stage 1 structure were formed predominantly, but the structure of only pure stage 1 for structural defect of artificial graphite is not observed. According to UV/VIS spectrophotometric analysis, $Li_{30wt%}$-AGIC shows distinguishable energy state spectrum with the position of $R(%)_{min}$ values, but the characteristic spectra of almost all Li-AGICs are not observed. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the compounds can be obtained from the differential scanning calorimetric analysis results. From the results, it was found that exothermic and endothermic reactions of Li-AGICs are related to thermal stability of lithium between artificial graphite layers.

인공위성에 사용되는 배터리 기술은 1960년대 최초로 사용된 니켈 카드뮴(NiCd)을 시작으로 발전하기 시작해서 현재는 리튬-이온(Li-Ion)에 이르렀다. 리튬-이온 배터리는 높은 Energy Density(작은 크기와 무게), 낮은 자가 방전율을 가짐과 동시에 메모리 효과가 거의 없다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 리튬-이온 배터리 팩의 성능(Voltage, Capacity, Lifetime)은 사용된 Cell간 특성차이(State of Charge, Total Capacity Difference, Internal Impedance)에 의해 제한된다. 일반적으로 배터리는 원하는 전압과 용량을 확보하기 위해 직렬-병렬 혹은 병렬-직렬 구조를 가지는 팩 형태로 제작 된다. Cell간 특성차이가 존재하는 상태에서 배터리 팩을 사용할 경우 특정 Cell의 과충전 및 과방전이 발생하며 이로 인해 수명이 단축될 수 있고 심한 경우 폭발이 발생할 수 도 있다. 또한 Cell간 특성차이는 배터리팩의 사용가능 용량을 제한하는 효과를 가져 온다. 본 논문에서는 Battery 팩을 구성하는 Cell들에 특성 차이가 존재할 경우 발생할 수 있는 Battery 팩의 수명 단축 및 용량 감소 Mechanism에 대해서 고찰한다. 또한 Cell간 특성차이를 극복하기 위해 실제 위성 운용에 적용될 수 있는 배터리팩의 Balancing 방안과 함께 위성에 장착을 위해 보관중인 4p12s Battery의 Balancing 방안에 대해 고찰하고 Balancing 전후의 Cell간 특성(Voltage Dispersion) 차이 측정결과를 보인다. 이렇게 본 논문에서 소개한 리튬-이온 배터리의 전반적인 Balancing 방안은 추후 인공위성에 적용되는 리튬-이온 배터리의 운용 및 보관에 Guide Line을 제시할 것이라고 판단한다.

In order to investigate the effect of fluorine ion in the $Li_{1-x}FeO_2Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8) cathode material, it was synthesized $Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8, $0.05{\le}y{\le}0.15$) cathode materials at $350^{\circ}C$ for 10hrs using solid-state method. $Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ (Mn/(Mn + Fe) = 0.8, $0.0{\le}y{\le}0.1$ was composed many large needle-like particles of about $1-1.5\;{\mu}m$ and small particles of about 50-100 nm, which were distributed among the larger particles. However, $Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.85}F_{0.15}-Li_xMnO_2$ material showed slightly different particle morphology. The particles of $Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.85}F_{0.15}-Li_xMnO_2$ were suddenly increased and started to be a spherical type of particle shape. $Li/Li_{1-x}FeO_{1.9}F_{0.1}-Li_xMnO_2$ cell showed a high initial discharge capacity of 163 mAh/g and a high cycle retention rate of 95% after 50 cycles. The initial discharge capacity of $Li/Li_{1-x}FeO_{2-y}F_y-Li_xMnO_2$ ($0.05{\le}y{\le}0.15$) cells increased according to the increase of F content. However, the cycleability of this cell was very rapidly decreased when the substituted fluorine content is over 0.1. We suggested that too large amount of F ion fail to substitute into the $Li_{1-x}FeO_2-Li_xMnO_2$ structure, which resulted in the severe decline of battery performance.

리튬전지의 vent cap ass'y용의 AI foil에 LDPE(low density polyethylene)만을 coating하였으나 LDPE는 vent cover인 sus와의 열접착성이 우수하지 못하기 때문에 vent 조립시 상당한 주의가 필요했다. 그러나, LDPE보다 열접착성이 우수한 EVA(ethylene vinylacetate)와 EAA(ethylene acrylic acid)의 2중 coating된 AI foil을 이용함으로 열접착성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이에 따라, 전해액 누액 등의 전지 불량 원인을 제거함과 동시에 vent cap ass'y의 조립시 공정 불량까지 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. This paper describes temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, electrochemical properties of PAN/PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio. PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte films were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PAN/PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt.

Of late, the development of advanced batteries with high power density and capacity has been indispensible for pushing ahead with much wider applications to electric vehicles and smart IT devices. However, a conventional Li-ion battery contains a limited energy density due to various technological challenges such that other types of Li batteries including Li-S and Li-air have been extensively studied due to their interestingly high energy capacities. Sulfur and oxygen, of which both are cathode materials, showing similar physicochemical characteristics have widely been available which may also contribute to the commercialization of these batteries. In this review, we introduce some perspectives in improving these advanced Li batteries through several approaches such as the provision of porous cathode structures, the optimization of cathode-electrolyte interfaces and the modification of Li anodes.
