Transition metal oxide-based electrodes for lithium ion batteries have recently attracted much attention because of their high theoretical capacity. Here we report the electrochemical behavior of cobalt oxide nanorods as anodes, prepared by a template-free, one-step electrochemical deposition of cobalt nanorods, followed by an oxidation process. The as-deposited cobalt has a slightly convex columnar structure, and controlled thermal oxidation produces cobalt oxides of different Co/O ratios, while the original shape is largely preserved. As an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery, the Co/O ratio has a strong effect on initial capacity and cycling stability. In particular, the one-dimensional Co@Co_xO_y core shell structure obtained from a mild heat-treatment results in superior cycling stability.

MCMB (Mesocarbon microbeads) is a kind of anode material for lithium-ion secondary battery. MCMB charge/discharge cycle stability is one of the important criterion at lithium-ion battery operation. In this study, the cycling stability of a lithium-ion secondary battery has been examined. MCMB was made by the direct solvent extraction method. After the MCMB was carbonized and graphitized, the measurement of charge/discharge capacity and efficiency were carried out. In the result, discharge capacity of MCMB in the initial cycle was above 290.0 mAh/g. After the second cycle, efficiency of charge/discharge MCMB was about 98%. These results were similar to the commercial MCMB product.

MPCF는 Li ion 2차전지용 부극 활물질로 연구되고 있다. 흑연화 MPCF는 높은 방전 용량과 우수한 충방전 효율을 가진다. $0\~1$ V전위영역에서 25 mA/g의 정전류로 충방전할 때의 MPCF/Li전지의 초기 방전 용량은 300 mAh/g이며, 충방전 효율은 $90\%$ 이상을 나타낸다. $LiCoO_2$을 정극 활물질로, 혼합 탄소재료를 부극 활물질로 사용하여 원통형 Li ion 2차전지를 제작하였다. Li ion 2차전지의 수명 특성을 향상하기 위하여, 흑연화 MPCF에 이종 탄소 재료를 $10 wt\%$ 혼합하였다. 혼합 탄소재료를 사용한 Li ion 2차전지의 수명 성능은 흑연화 MPCF만을 사용한 전지보다 우수하였다.

A reduced particle-unscented Kalman filter estimation method, along with a splice-equivalent circuit model, is proposed for the state-of-charge estimation of an aeronautical lithium-ion battery pack. The linearization treatment is not required in this method and only a few sigma data points are used, which reduce the computational requirement of state-of-charge estimation. This method also improves the estimation covariance properties by introducing the equilibrium parameter state of balance for the aeronautical lithium-ion battery pack. In addition, the estimation performance is validated by the experimental results. The proposed state-of-charge estimation method exhibits a root-mean-square error value of 1.42% and a mean error value of 4.96%. This method is insensitive to the parameter variation of the splice-equivalent circuit model, and thus, it plays an important role in the popularization and application of the aeronautical lithium-ion battery pack.

High nickel layered oxide cathodes are gaining increasing attention for lithium-ion batteries due to their higher energy density and lower cost compared to LiCoO₂. However, they suffer from the formation of residual lithium on the surface in the form of LiOH and Li₂CO₃ on exposure to ambient air. The residual lithium causes notorious issues, such as slurry gelation during electrode preparation and gas evolution during cell cycling. In this review, we investigate the residual lithium issues through its impact on cathode slurry instability based on deformed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as well as its formation and reduction mechanism in terms of inherently off-stoichiometric synthesis of high nickel cathodes. Additionally, new analysis method with anhydrous methanol was introduced to exclude Li⁺/H⁺ exchange effect during sample preparation with distilled water. We hope that this review would contribute to encouraging the academic efforts to consider practical aspects and mitigation in global high-energy-density lithium-ion battery manufacturers.

Today, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are an essential portion of modern daily life. As a promising alternative to traditional energy storage systems, they possess various advantages. This review attempts to provide the reader with an indepth understanding of the working mechanisms, current technological progress, and scientific challenges for a wide variety of lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrode nanomaterials. Electrochemical thermodynamics and kinetics are the two main perspectives underlying our introduction, which aims to provide an informative foundation for the rational design of electrode materials. Moreover, both anode and cathode materials are clarified into several types, using some specific examples to demonstrate both their advantages and shortcomings, and some improvements are suggested as well. In addition, we summarize some recent research progress in the rational design and synthesis of nanostructured anode and cathode materials, together with their corresponding electrochemical performances. Based on all these discussions, potential directions for further development of LIBs are summarized and presented.

In this study, a finite element analysis approach is proposed to predict the fluid-structure interaction behavior of active materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which are mainly composed of graphite powder. The porous matrix of graphite powder saturated with fluid electrolyte is considered a representative volume element (RVE) model. Three different RVE models are proposed to consider the uncertainty of the powder shape and the porosity. P-wave modulus from RVE solutions are analyzed based on the microstructure and the interaction between the fluid and the graphite powder matrix. From the results, it is found that the large surface area of the active material results in low mechanical properties of LIB, which leads to poor structural durability when subjected to dynamic loads. The results obtained in this study provide useful information for predicting the mechanical safety of a battery pack.

리튬 이온 배터리는 사용 환경과 양극재 조합 비율에 따라 배터리의 성능이 좌우된다. 고성능 리튬 이온 배터리를 개발하기 위해서는 양극재 비율을 다양하게 변화시켜가면서 배터리를 제작하고 성능을 측정해야 한다. 하지만 모든 변수 조합에 대해 배터리를 제작하고 성능을 측정하기에는 많은 시간과 비용이 소모된다. 그렇기 때문에 최근에는 데이터 기반으로 인공지능 모델을 활용하여 배터리의 성능을 예측하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 공개 배터리 데이터는 동일한 배터리로 측정 실험을 하였기 때문에 양극재 조합 비율은 고정되어 있어서 데이터 속성으로 포함되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 양극재 소재 조합 비율에 따른 배터리의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 인공지능 모델 개발에 필요한 학습 데이터 모델을 정의한다. 우리는 리튬 이온 배터리의 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인을 분석하여 양극재 소재별 질량과 배터리 사용 환경을 입력데이터로, 배터리의 출력과 용량을 목적 데이터로 정의하였다. 공개 배터리 데이터 중에는 양극재 비율이 포함된 데이터가 없어 양극재 비율을 모두 동일한 값으로 설정한 제한된 데이터로 다중 선형회귀 분석, 서포트 벡터 회귀분석, 다중 로지스틱 회귀 분석, LSTM 분석을 수행하였다. 실험 환경이 다른 배터리 데이터에서 각각의 배터리 데이터는 고유한 패턴을 유지하였으며, 배터리 분류 모델은 각각의 배터리를 약 2%의 오차로 분류하는 것으로 나타났다.

Silicon-based thin film was prepared at room temperature by an electrochemical deposition method and a feasibility study was conducted for its use as an anode material in a rechargeable lithium battery. The growth of the electrodeposits was mainly concentrated on the surface defects of the Cu substrate while that growth was trivial on the defect-free surface region. Intentional formation of random defects on the substrate by chemical etching led to uniform formation of deposits throughout the surface. The morphology of the electrodeposits reflected first the roughened surface of the substrate, but it became flattened as the deposition time increased, due primarily to the concentration of reduction current on the convex region of the deposits. The electrodeposits proved to be amorphous and to contain chlorine and carbon, together with silicon, indicating that the electrolyte is captured in the deposits during the fabrication process. The silicon in the deposits readily reacted with lithium, but thick deposits resulted in significant reaction overvoltage. The charge efficiency of oxidation (lithiation) to reduction (delithiation) was higher in the relatively thick deposit. This abnormal behavior needs to clarified in view of the thickness dependence of the internal residual stress and the relaxation tendency of the reaction-induced stress due to the porous structure of the deposits and the deposit components other than silicon.
