A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that uses the reversible reduction of lithium ions to store energy and is the predominant battery type in many industrial and consumer electronics. The lithium-ion batteries are essential to ensure they operate safely. We conducted an exposure assessment five days after a fire in a battery-testing facility. We assessed some of the potentially hazardous materials after a lithium-ion battery fire.We sampled total suspended particles, hydrogen fluoride, and lithium with real-time monitoring of particulate matter (PM) 1, 2.5, and 10 micrometers (㎛). The area sampling results indicated that primary potential hazardous materials such as dust, hydrogen fluoride, and lithium were below the recommended limits suggested by the Korean Ministry of Labor and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Values. Based on our assessment, workers were allowed to return to work.

So far the most practical polymer electrolytes are gel systems, which contain a polymeric matrix, a lithium salt, and aprotic organic solvents. This has met with success but has had disadvantages that the addition of solvents promotes deterioration of the electrolyte's mechanical properties and increases its reactivity towards the lithium metal anode.[1](omitted)

An efficient and inexpensive method for the substitution of allylic hydroxyl group with fluoride, without allylic rearrangement, and elimination was developed. This method consists of treating an allylic alcohol with methylithium, followed by p-toluene sulfonyl fluoride, lithium fluoride and 12-Crown-4. This methodology was proved to be efficient by preparting geranyl fluoride, neryl fluoride, cinnamyl fluoride, E, E-farnesyl fluoride, retinyl fluoride and 4-fluoro-2-methyl-6-(ptolyl)-2-heptene.

리튬이온폴리머전지는 휴대용 전자기기와 전기자동차 등의 차세대 동력원으로 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리에틸렌 분리막에 소량의 부기 화합물과 고분자를 코팅하여 제조된 표면 개질 분리막을 리튬이온폴리머전지에 적용함으로써 전지 특성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 불화 알루미늄과 아크릴로니트릴-메틸 메타크릴레이트 공중합체를 폴리에틸렌 지지체에 코팅하여 얻어진 표면 개질 분리막을 이용하여 제조된 리튬이온폴리머전지는 충 방전 싸이클 과정 중에 균일한 전도성 고체 전해질 계면이 전극 표면에 형성되어 낮은 계면 저항값을 보였으며, 이에 따라 불화 알루미늄을 포함하고 있지 않는 리튬이온폴리머전지와 비교하여 싸이클 특성과 고율 방전 특성이 크게 향상되었다. 표면 개질된 분리막을 이용하여 제조된 리튬이온폴리머전지를 0.5 C rate로 충 방전한 결과, 초기 방전용량 150 mAh/g을 나타내었으며, 300싸이클에서 133 mAh/g의 방전 용량을 유지하여 우수한 용량 보존특성을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP)을 열분해하여 얻은 폐 탄소섬유를 이용하여 기상 불소화를 통해 불화탄소를 제조하고 리튬일차전지의 환원극 소재로 재활용하고자 하였다. 먼저 열분해로 얻은 폐 탄소섬유의 물리화학적 특성을 파악하였으며, 이 폐 탄소섬유에 기상 불소화 효과를 평가하기 위하여 불화탄소의 구조적, 화학적 특성을 분석하였다. XRD 분석에 의해 폐 탄소섬유의 육각망탄소 적층구조(002피크)는 기상 불소화의 온도가 증가함에 따라 점차 불화탄소 구조(001피크)로 전환되었음을 확인하였다. 이 불화탄소를 이용하여 제조된 리튬일차전지의 방전용량은 최대 862 mAh/g이었다. 이는 다른 탄소 재료로 제조한 불화탄소 기반 리튬이온차전지의 방전용량과 비교하였을 때 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 폐 CFRP 기반 폐탄소섬유를 이용한 불화탄소는 리튬일차전지의 환원극 소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

Insertion of a thin lithium fluoride (TLF) layer between an emitting layer (EML) and an electron transporting layer has resumed in the developement of a highly efficient and bright organic light-emitting diode (OLED). Comparing with the performance of the device as a function of position with the TLF layer in tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_{3})$, we propose the optimal position for the TLF layer in the stacked structure. The fabricated OLED shows a luminance efficiency of more than 20 cd/A, a power efficiency of 12 Im/W (at 20 mA/$cm^{2}$), and a luminance of more than 22 000 cd/$m^{2}$ (at 100 mA/$cm^{2}$), respectively. We suggest that the enhanced performance of the OLED is probably attributed to the improvement of carrier balance to achieve a high level of recombination efficiency in an EML.

일차전지 환원극의 활물질로 널리 사용되고 있는 불화탄소는 낮은 전기 전도도, 표면 에너지 및 전해질 투과도 등의 요인에 의하여 Li/CF_X 일차전지의 율속 성능 저하를 초래한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 표면처리를 통하여 표면이 개질된 불화탄소를 리튬 일차전지의 환원극으로 사용하여 전지 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. XPS 및 XRD 분석을 통해 산소 플라즈마 처리에 의해 변화된 불화탄소의 표면 화학적 특성 및 결정 구조 변화를 분석하였으며, 이에 따른 리튬 일차전지의 전기 화학적 특성에 대한 변화를 분석하고 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 탄소 대 불소비율(F/C) 비율이 가장 낮은 산소 플라즈마 처리 조건(7.5 min)에서 반이온성 C-F 결합이 가장 많이 형성되었다. 또한, 이 조건에서 제조된 불화탄소를 환원극의 활물질로 사용한 일차전지는 가장 높은 3 C의 율속 특성을 보였으며, 고율속에서도 비교적 높은 용량(550 mAh/g)을 유지하였다. 본 연구를 통하여, 산소 플라즈마 처리를 통해 불화탄소의 불소함량 및 탄소-불소 간의 결합 유형을 조정하여 고율속 성능을 가진 리튬 일차전지를 제조할 수 있었다.

New porous separators based on non-polyolefin materials including the blend of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and the porous separator based on poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) were prepared by phase inversion method. The porosity and morphology were controlled with phase inversion rate, which is governed by the relative content of non-solvent and solvent in coagulation bath. To enhance tensile strength, the solvent pre-evaporation and uni-axial stretching processes were applied. The ionic conductivity was increased with increasing stretching ratio, and tensile strength was increased with increasing solvent pre-evaporation time and stretching ratio. The 200% stretched PVdF separator showed 56 MPa of tensile strength, and the ionic conductivity of the stretched PVdF separator was $8.6{\times}10^{-4}\;S\;cm^{-1}\;at\;25^{\circ}C$.

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.

The consequences of electrode density and thickness for electrochemical performance of lithium-ion cells are investigated using 2032-type coin half cells. While the cathode composition is maintained by 90:5:5 (wt.%) with $LiCoO_2$ active material, Super-P electric conductor and polyvinylidene fluoride polymeric binder, its density and thickness are independently controlled to 20, 35, 50 um and 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 g $cm^{-3}$, respectively, which are based on commercial lithium-ion battery cathode system. As the cathode thickness is increased in all densities, the rate capability and cycle life of lithium-ion cells become significantly worse. On the other hand, even though the cathode density shows similar behavior, its effect is not as high as the thickness in our experimental range. This trend is also investigated by cross-sectional morphology, porosity and electric conductivity of cathodes with different densities and thicknesses. This work suggests that the electrode density and thickness should be chosen properly and mentioned in detail in any kinds of research works.
