Electrochemical characteristics of a graphite/lithium and a $LiCoO_2/lithium$ half cell and a $graphite/LiCoO_2$ full cell were analyzed using a GCSOC (gradual control test of the state of charge) technique. The IIE (initial intercalation coulombic efficiency), which represents lithium intercalation property of the electrode material, and the $lIC_s$ (initial irreversible capacity by the surface), which represents irreversible reaction between the electrode surface and the electrolyte were obtained from the GCSOC analysis. Linear-fittable capacity ranges of IIE of graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were 370 and 150 mAh/g, respectively, based on material weight. The value of lIE for graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were $93-94\%$ and $94-95\%$, respectively. The value of IICs for graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were 15-17 mAh/g and 0.3-1.7 mAh/g, respectively. The value of IIE for $graphite/LiCoO_2$ full cell, used GX25 and DJG311 as a graphite, was $89-90\%$ that lower than that for the half cells. Parameters of IIE and IICs can also be used to represent not only half cell but also full cell.

최근 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖고 있는 리튬 이온 이차전지에 대한 관심이 높다. 리튬 이온 이차전지는 이미 휴대용 기기로 널리 적용되고 있으며, 하이브리드 전기자동차와 같은 고출력 전지시스템에 적용을 위해 연구되고 있다. 리튬 이온 이차전지의 전극 소재는 리튬 이온의 이동에 의해서 충전 및 방전되는 현상을 활용한다. 전극으로부터 리튬 이온이 이동될 때 전극내의 구조 변화가 발생한다. 전극의 구조분석은 중성자 또는 X-선을 이용하여 분석할 수 있다. X-선은 분석 시간이 짧고, 쉽게 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 원자내의 전자구름과의 산란을 응용하므로 전자가 적은 가벼운 원소의 경우 분석이 어려운 단점이 있다. 리튬도 원자량이 작아서 X-선 만으로는 리튬의 정확한 위치에 대한 분석이 어렵다. 중성자 분석기술은 이에 대한 해답이 될 것이다. 본 자료에서는 중성자를 활용한 전극물질의 구조 분석 사례 및 그 원리에 대해서 논의하고자 한다.

Ni-rich layered oxides cathode has recently gained attention as an advanced cathode material due to their applicable energy density. However, as the Ni component in the layered site is increased, the high reactivity of Ni⁴⁺ results in parasitic reaction associated with decomposing electrolyte, which leads to a rapid decreasing the lifespan of the cell. The electrolyte additive triallyl borate (TAB) improves interfacial stability, leading to a stable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer on the LNCM83 cathode. A multi-functionalized TAB additive can produce a uniformly distributed CEI layer via electrochemical oxidation, which implies an increase in long-term cycling performance. After 100 cycles at elevated temperature, the cell tested by 0.75 TAB retained 88.3% of its retention ratio, whereas the cell performed by TAB-free electrolyte retained 64.1% of its retention. Once the TAB additive formed CEI layers on the LNCM83 cathode, it inhibited the decomposition of carbonate-based solvents species in addition to the dissolution of transition metal components from the cathode. The addition of TAB to LNCM83 cathode material is believed to be a promising way to increase the electrochemical performance.

Polycrystalline powder of LixNi0.85Co0.15O2 was synthesized by pyrolyzing a powder precursor obtained by the PVA-precursor method. Coin cells of lithium-ion rechargeable battery were assembled, whose the cathodes were fabricated from the crystalline powders of LixNi0.85Co0.15O2 synthesized by the method. The effect of synthetic variation on the property of the cell was tested by carrying out 100 consecutive cycles of charge-dis-charge on the cells. The property of the cell was largely influenced by the pyrolysis conditions applied for the synthesis of the LixNi0.85Co0.15O2. Depending on whether the pyrolysis was carried out in standing air or in the flow of dry air, the discharge capacity and cycle-reversibility of the cell varied in large extent. When the powder precursor was pyrolyzed in standing air, a minor phase of lithium carbonate was remained in the LixNi0.85Co0.15O2. The carbon containing powder precursor had to be pyrolyzed in the flow of dry air to eliminate the minor phase. In the flow of dry air, the lithium carbonate in the precursor was eliminated over 500-700。C without any prominent heat event. By controlling the flow of air over the precursor during its pyrolysis, particle size could also be altered. The effect of flowing dry air, during first step pyrolysis or during second step heat treatment, on the property of the cell was discussed.

이차 전지의 고전압 구동은 기존 셀 구조의 변화 없이도 고용량을 구현할 수 있는 유용한 접근 방법 중에 하나이나, 전극 표면에서의 극심한 부반응과 전극 활물질의 구조 붕괴 등과 같은 문제를 야기하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 니켈-망간-코발트 삼성분계(NCM) 활물질을 도입한 양극의 고전압 구동을 위해 원자층 증착법 (Atomic Layer Deposition, ALD)을 통해 전극판 표면에 $Al_2O_3$와 ZnO층으로 구성된 코팅 층을 형성하였다. 기존 ALD법으로 제조되는 박막에 비해 유사한 조건에서도 두꺼운 Al-doped ZnO (AZO)층을 최초로 형성하였고, 코팅된 AZO층의 두께를 달리한 NCM 기반의 양극판을 제조하였다. ALD 코팅된 양극이 도입된 코인셀을 제조하여 두껍게 형성된 코팅 층의 두께에 따른 고전압에서 충방전 거동을 확인하였다.

Initial irreversible capacity (IIC) can be defined by means of the initial intercalation Ah efficiency (IIE) and the initial irreversible specific capacity at the surface (IICs) with the linear-fit range of the intercalation so as to precisely express the irreversibility of an electrode-electrolyte system. Their relationship was IIC = Qc - Q$_{D}$ = (IIE$^{-1}$ - 1) Q$_{D}$ + IICs in the linear-fit range of IIE. Here, Qc and Qd signify charge and discharge capacity, respectively, based on a complete lithium ion battery cell. Charge indicates lithium insertion to carbon anode. Two terms of IIE and IICs depended on the types of active materials and compositions of the electrode and electrolyte but did not change with charging state. In an ideal electrode-electrolyte system, IIE and IICs would be 100%, 0 mAh/g for the electrode and mAh for the cell, respectively. These properties can be easily obtained by the Gradual Increasing of State of Charge (GISOC).OC).

With the widespread use of modern clean energy, lithium-ion batteries have become essential as a more reliable energy storage component in the energy Internet. However, due to the difference in monomers, some of the battery over-charge or over-discharge in battery packs restrict their use. Therefore, a novel multiphase interleaved converter for reducing the inconsistencies of the individual cells in a battery pack is proposed in this paper. Based on the multiphase converter branches connected to each lithium battery, this circuit realizes energy transferred from any cell(s) to any other cell(s) complementarily. This flexible interlaced converter is composed of an improved bi-directional Buck-Boost circuit that is presented with its own available control method. A simulation model based on the PNGV model of fundamental equalization is built with four cells in PSIM. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that converter and its control achieve simple and fast equalization. Furthermore, a comparison of traditional methods and the HNFABC equalization is provided to show the performance of the converter and the control of lithium-based battery stacks.

Technical advances in manufacturing techniques and applied technologies have been made for bi cell manufacture, and are currently being implemented in the areas of discrete electrode / bi cell assembly, and electrode / separator lamination. Not only have improvements been noted in the reliability of the mechanical assembly and the increase in yields and decrease in costs, battery electrical performance has also been enhanced thru these assembly techniques. Evidence has been shown that the lamination techniques can influence porosity and electrolyte dispersion, and therefore electrical performance and long term reliability of the cells.

Orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$(o-$LiMnO_2$) has attracted public attentions as a cathode materials of Lithium ion battery because it has low cost and high theoretical discharge capacity of 285mAh $g^{-1}$. In our study, o-$LiMnO_2$ is synthesized by quenching method. To verify their phase structure, X-ray diffraction is accomplished. Test cells are assembled to check electrochemical characteristics using acquired o-$LiMnO_2$ cathode and carbon anode. Charge/Discharge cycling was carried out for 50cycles.
