Polyphenylenediamine(PPD)film was prepared with organo sulfur compond (2-aminothiophenol, 1,2-ethanedithiol, and 2-aminoethaneethiol etc.) adding lithium salt to increase the electrical conductivity of the polymer surface. The molecular structure of conductive polymer synthesized were examined and discussed by using SEM, FT-IR, NMR etc. The elecrical conductivity messurement were carried out with four-probe method at dry box of He and $N_2$atmosphere. The typical value of successful electrical conductivity was 1.2$\times$10$^1$S/cm at room temperature.

The Lithium ion secondary battery has been developed for high energy density of portable electrical device and electronics. Among the many conductive polymer materials, the positive active film for Li polymer battery system was synthesized successfully from polyphenylene diamine(PPD) by chemical polymerization in our lab. And PPD-DMcT(2, 5-dimercapto-1, 3, 4-thi-adiazole) composite flim conductive material, at high temperature was also prerared with the addition of dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO). The surface morphology and thermal stability of prepared composite flim was carried out by using SEM and TGA, respectively. Electrochemical and electrical conductivity of composite flim were also discussed by cyclic voltammetry and four-probe method in dry box(<27pm). And the electrode reaction mechanism was detected and analyzed from the half cell unit battery system.

Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ was synthesized via co-precipitation method using sucrose as the carbon source. Structure, surface morphology, and the electrochemical properties of the synthesized olivine compounds were investigated using Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical charge-ischarge tests. Spherical morphology with the particle size of ${\sim}8{\mu}m$ authenticated the enhanced tap density and volumetric energy density of the synthesized materials. Charge-discharge behavior of $LiFePO_4$ and Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ cells demonstrated a specific capacity of 130 and 145 mAh $g^{-1}$, respectively. Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ cells exhibited an excellent discharge capacity at 96 mAh $g^{-1}$ at 7 C-rate.

In an attempt to achieve high rate capability of cell, a new composite cathode was prepared by mixing host compounds with MWCNTs and Super P carbon. Because MWCNTs generally have bundle-type morphologies, it is not easy to get completely separated form. Successful dispersion of divided small bundles between the host particles keeps electrochemical contacts among the particles and plays a significant role in the buffer action as a volume-change absorber. Relative amounts and distributions of the additives are important for design of the electrode for high power application of lithium ion batteries.

In this study poly(carbazole) films deposited on stainless steel have been investigated as electrode material for supercapacitor applications. Poly(carbazole) films were electrodeposited using cyclic voltammetry in presence of lithium, sodium and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate salts. Poly(carbazole) films doped with perchlorate anions having different counter cations were characterized by SEM, ATR-FTIR and solid state conductivity measurements. Capacitive behaviours of PCz coated steel electrodes were tested by cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that counter cation of the dopant is significantly effective on the capacitive performance on the obtained PCz films and the PCz film synthesized from lithium perchlorate has the better capacitive performance than the poly(carbazole)s synthesized from sodium perchlorate and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate salts.

An electrochromic(EC) cell was constructed using $WO_3$ as a electrochromic material and NiO as a counter electrode, deposited onto ITO-coated glass by the implementation of electron beam evaporation. The electrolytic media were both lithium and proton conducting polymers such as poly-acrylonitrile(PAN)-$LiClO_4$, poly-ethylene oxide(PEO)-$LiClO_4$, poly-vinyl butyral(PVB)-LiCl and PVB-H$_3$$PO_4$. Potentiodynamic cycling of the cells using PAN-$LiClO_4$, or PVB-$H_3$$PO_4$ electrolyte yielded a transmission variation of more than 40% at the wavelength of 632.8 nm within less than 10 sec response time at room temperature. These results indicate that these electrolytes, transparent in gel type, are premising for the application in large area electrochromic windows.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop tin oxide-flyash composite for lithium Ion polymer battery. Tin oxide is one of the promising material as a electrode active material for lithium Ion polymer battery (LIPB). Tin-based oxides have theoretical volumetric and gravimetric capacities that are four and two times that of carbon, respectively. We investigated cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance and charge/discharge cycling of SnO$_2$-flyash/SPE/Li cells. The first discharge capacity of SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode was 639 mAh/g. The discharge capacity of SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode was 563 and 472 mAh/g at 6th and 15th cycle, respectively. The SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode with PVDF-PMMA-PC-EC-LiClO$_4$ electrolyte showed good capacity with cycling.

Here, we report on nanocrystalline Si-Al-M (M = Fe, Cu, Ni, Zr) alloys for use as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, which were fabricated via a melt-spinning method. Based on the XRD and TEM analyses, it was found that the Si-Al-M alloys consist of nanocrystalline Si grains surrounded by an amorphous matrix phase. Among the Si-Al-M alloys with different metal composition, Ni-incorporated Si-Al-M alloy electrode retained the high discharge capacity of 2492 mAh/g and exhibited improved cyclability. The superior $Li^+$ storage performance of Si-Al-M alloy with Ni component is mainly responsible for the incorporated Ni, which induces the formation of ductile and conductive inactive matrix with crystalline Al phase, in addition to the grain size reduction of active Si phase.

The irreversible capacities caused by the reduction of solvent on the surface of a negative electrode (KMFC:Kawasaki Mesophase Fine Carbon) were examined during the initial cycle in ethylene carbonate (EC)-diethyl carbonate (DEC) electrolyte solut ions at various concentrations of LiPF6. Chronopotentiograms, linear sweep voltammograms, and impedance spectra clearly showed differences in irreversible capacity and that those differences are related to the concentration of electrolyte during the initial charge. These differences were caused by the amount of solvent decomposition as a function of the concentration of LiPF6 electrolytic salt. The data are discussed with reference to the concentration of electrolytic salt and the properties of passivation film formed by solvent decomposition.

The Prussian blue analogues of Fe₂(CN)₆ and Na_xFe₂(CN)₆ are prepared by precipitation method and evaluated the electrochemical characteristics as positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their low cost. Fe₂(CN)₆ shows a low reversible capacity of 34.6 mAh g^-1, whereas sodium-containing Na_xFe₂(CN)₆ exhibits a reversible capacity of 107.5 mAh g^-1 when the discharge process proceeds first. When charging is first carried out to remove sodium in the structure, the reversible capacity of 114.1 mAh g^-1 is achieved and the cycle performance is further improved. In addition, Na_x-Fe₂(CN)₆ is synthesized at 0℃, room temperature (RT), and 60℃, respectively. Regardless of the synthesis temperature, Na_xFe₂(CN)₆ shows similar initial reversible capacity, but the crystallite size is formed smaller and improved cycle performance when synthetic temperature is lower. The sample synthesized at 0℃ shows a reversible capacity of 86.4 mAh g^-1 at the 120^th cycle and maintains 76.8% of the initial capacity.
