Because Li-ion battery and Li-Polymer battery have high-energy storage density, they are used for various electronic devices such as electronic cigarette, electronic bicycle, drone, second battery, even golf cart and electronic car. Recently, however, battery explosion is sometimes occurring on electronic devices using Li-ion battery and is becoming serious as bodily harm is breaking out due to explosion. For this, this paper described the Li-ion Battery's operating principles and verified the cause of explosion by overload tests caused by the high-energy storage density. According to the these experiments, we conducted a study to develope scanning techniques of fire and safety measures.

All-solid-state thin-film lithium-ion batteries are important in the development of next-generation energy storage devices with high energy density. However, thin-film batteries have many challenges in their manufacturing procedure. This is because there are many factors, such as substrate selection, to consider when producing the thin film multilayer structure. In this study, we compare the fabrication and performance of all-solid-state thin-film lithium-ion batteries with a $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ cathode/LiPON solid electrolyte/$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ anode structure using stainless steel and Si substrates with different surface roughness. We demonstrate that the smoother the surface of the substrate, the thinner the thickness of the all-solid-state thin-film lithium-ion battery that can be made, and as a result, the corresponding electrochemical characteristics can be improved.

There are many application fields of electrical energy storage such as load shifting, integration with renewables, frequency or voltage supports, and so on. Especially, the frequency regulation is needed to stabilize the electric power system, and there have to be more than 1 GW as power reserve in Korea. Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials have been investigated as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries because of their higher discharge capacity and lower cost than lithium cobalt oxide. Nonetheless, most of them have been investigated using small coin cells, and therefore, there is a limit to understand the deterioration mode of Ni-rich layered oxides in commercial high energy Li-ion batteries. In this paper, the pouch-type 20 Ah-scale Li-ion full cells are fabricated using Ni-rich layered oxides as a cathode and graphite as an anode. Above all, two test conditions for the application of frequency regulation were established in order to examine the performances of cells. Then, the electrochemical performances of two types of Ni-rich layered oxides are compared, and the long-term performance and degradation mode of the cell using cathode material with high nickel contents among them were investigated in the frequency regulation conditions.

Efficient and durable electrical energy storage is one of the major factors limiting the wide-spread adoption of renewable energy. Since lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) were first commercialized in the early 1990s, LIBs have emerged as an important energy storage device for portable electronics. LIBs are very desirable because of their high energy storage per volume and per mass. However, LIBs with high energy and power as well as higher stability are needed for their use in a variety of energy storage applications such as MEMS devices, PDA, plug-in hybrids, all-electric vehicles and large scale utility systems. In this talk, I will discuss present energy perspective, especially energy storage and its role in renewable energy. After that I will discuss the recent advances in nanostructured materials and interface engineering that have led to the achievement of improved Li-ion batteries. Finally I will talk aboutcritical issues that need to be addressed to obtain further improvements in Li-ion batteries.

The influences of $LiNO_3\;and\;AgNO_3$ on the N-C(O) rotational barrier of N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylpropionamide have been investigated. The rotational activation free energy $({\Delta}G^{\neq})\;for\;Li^{+}$-amide complexes is found to increase with increasing salt concentration. On the other hand, that for $Ag^+$-amide complexes increases in the presence of $Ag^+$ ion up to 0.25 M ion concentration and then decreases as the concentration of $Ag^+$ ion is further increased. Such an unusual behavior of $Ag^+$-amide complexes has been interpreted in terms of ion-pairing and diluent effect on the amides. However, $^{13}C$ nmr chemical shift data for the amides have shown that both of these ions interact primarily with the carbonyl group in amides.

The cathode materials for lithium ion battery have been developed in accordance with the battery performance. $LiCoO_2$ initially adapted at lithium ion battery is going to be useful even at the charging voltage of 4.3 V by surface treatment or doping which drastically improved the performance of $LiCoO_2$. On the other hand, the complicate and multiple functions of recent electronic equipments required higher operational voltage and higher capacity than ever, which is going to be driving force for developing new cathode materials. Some of them are $LiNi_{1-x}{M_xO_2}$, $Li[Ni_{x}Mn_{y}Co_{z}]O_{2}$, $Li[{Ni}_{1/2}{Mn}_{1/2}]O_{2}$. Other new type of cathode materials having high safety is also developed to apply for HEV (hybrid electrical vehicle) and power tool applications. ${LiMn}_{2}{O}_{4}$ and $LiFePO_4$ are famous for highly stable material, which are expected to give contribution to make safer battery. In near future, the various materials having both capacity and safety will be developed by new technology, such as solid solution composite.

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.

Photoluminescenc (PL) and low-voltage cathodoluminescence (CL) characteristics of $[xSrTiO_3+(1-x)Li_2TiO_3]:Pr^{3+}$ and $[xSrTiO_3+(1-x)Na_2TiO_3]:Pr^{3+}$ systems were investigated. The red luminescence intensities of these compounds are enhanced remarkably by the incorporation of $Li^+$ or $Na^+$ ion as compared to that of $SrTiO_3:Pr^{3+}$. The enhanced luminescence is speculated to result from both the charge compensation of $Pr^{3+}$ site and oxygen vacancies generated in the lattices by $Li^+$ or $Na^+$ ion.

The state of charge (SOC) is an important parameter in a battery-management system (BMS), and is very significant for accurately estimating the SOC of a battery. Li-ion batteries boast of excellent performance, and can only remain at their best working state by means of accurate SOC estimation that gives full play to their performances and raises their economic benefits. This paper summarizes some measures taken in SOC estimation, including the discharge experiment method, the ampere-hour integral method, the open circuit voltage method, the Kalman filter method, the neural network method, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS. The principles of the various SOC estimation methods are introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the working conditions adopted during these methods, are discussed and analyzed.

Through the crystal alignment research based on the magnetic properties of LiNi_xMn_yCo_1-(x+y)O₂ such as magnetic susceptibility and related anisotropy, a crystal aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode is obtained, in which the (00l) plane is frequently oriented perpendicular to the surface of a current collector. The crystal aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode steadily exhibits low electrode polarization properties during the charge/discharge process in a lithium-ion battery, thus affording an improved capacity compared to a pristine LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode. The aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode may have an appropriate structural nature for fast lithium-ion transport due to the oriented (00l) plane, and thus it contributes to enhancing the battery performance. This enhancement is analyzed in terms of various electrochemical theories and experiment results; thus, it is verified to occur because of the considerably fast lithium-ion transport in the aligned LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ electrode.
