Polyethylene (PE) membranes having various porosities are used as microfilters and separators in lithium ion batteries. Membranes having a high porosity are required for use as separators in a large scale lithium ion secondary battery. In this study, BET was examined for use as a new nontoxic diluent for the fabrication of highly porous PE membranes by thermally induced phase separation process. It was confirmed that BET can be used as a new diluent for the fabrication of the PE membranes by exploring upper critical solution temperature type phase behavior of PE mixtures with BET. When the porosity of the membrane prepared from the PE/PO mixture was compared with that prepared from PE/BET mixture, the latter was about 1.8 times higher than the former.

Heat treatment effect of polyethylene (PE) separators was investigated after storage at 80, 100 and $120^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. All the samples showed enhanced tensile strength and modulus after heat treatment, but thermal shrinkage up to 15% was observed in PE films having newly formed dimple structure on the surface of fiber after annealed at 100 and $120^{\circ}C$. Although there was 5% of thermal shrinkage after annealing at $80^{\circ}C$, no such serious changes in PE fiber was observed. Furthermore, the separator was found to have enhanced cell performance with 1.3 and 2.3 times higher tensile strength and modulus after heat treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 h.

Blanking is one of the most frequently used processes in sheet metal forming. In this paper, attention is paid to the blanking simulation of aluminium foil with $20{\mu}m$ thickness which is used an anode in lithium-ion polymer battery. In order to study the shearing mechanism for the metallic foil, finite element analysis with Crockroft and Latham fracture criterion was performed. The objective of the present work is to evolve a methodology to obtain the optimum punch-die clearance for a given aluminium foil by the simulation of the blanking process using a general purpose FEM code.

Hyundai Motor Company developed the second generation of fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle based on Tucson SUV in 2004. This vehicle has cold start capability below -10C and its driving performances including maximum speed and accelerating time are almost similar to conventional Tucson SUV's performances without any sacrifice in terms of cabin space. Especially. the cold start capability was realized by utilizing only internal power sources such as fuel cell power and high voltage lithium ion polymer battery. In this paper, we will briefly introduce specifications of Tucson FCEV and its driving performances based on field test and simulations.

Using 3D printing technology, we created a biomimetic water strider robot that can monitor environments. We found ways to increase the bearing capacity of the fluid-driven water strider robot by conducting experiments then comparing with more stable robots. The controller of the robot is based on Arduino, and can be controlled wirelessly with a Bluetooth module. The speed of the robot is 7.37 cm/s, and the bearing capacity is 29 g. A lithium polymer battery that can be charged with a solar cell was used as a power source, and both the charging and driving times were also explored.

본 논문에서는 비례-적분(PI) 제어의 상태관측기를 구성하여 리튬폴리머 배터리의 충전량(SOC)을 추정하는 기법에 대해 설계한 뒤 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 리튬폴리머 배터리는 1차 R-C 등가모델로 단순화하여 표현하였고, PI상태관측기를 Matlab/Simulink에서 설계하였다. 상온($25^{\circ}C$)에서 양방향 DC-DC 컨버터를 이용하여 리튬폴리머 배터리에 FTP-72 충 방전 사이클의 전류패턴을 인가한 뒤 SOC 추정기법을 검증하였다. PI상태관측기는 임의의 초기 SOC 상태에서도 오차율 2%이내로 SOC를 추정하여 모델링 에러나 외란에도 강인한 특성이 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Recently, conducting polymer has been much attracted as novel materials because of its electronic behavior and functional application by doping process. In this paper, we electrochemically synthesized polyaniline films under potential sweep conditions, which exhibit high electric conductivity about 200 S/cm. Specific energy of 600 Wh/kg and Ah efficiency 98% were achieved during the charge/discharge cycling using liquid electrolyte system. On the other hand, consequences of the cycling were 260 Wh/kg and 95% Ah efficiency using polyethylene oxide(PEO) based solid-state electrolyte system.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for all-stolid-state lithium battery. We investigated conductivity, electrochemical properites and impedence spectroscopy of poly(ethylene oxide)[PEO]/poly(vinylidene fluoride)[PVOF] blend electrolytes and charge/discharge cycling of LiCoO$_2$/SPE/Li cell. By adding PVDF and plasticizer to PEO-LICIO$_4$electrolyte, its condustivity was higher than that of PEO-LiCIO$_4$electrolyte. Also PEO$_4$PVDF$_4$LiClO$_4$PC$_{5}$EC$_{5}$ remains stable up to 4.4V vs Li/Li. The discharge capacity of the LiCoO$_2$composite cathode was 92mAh/g based on LiCoO$_2$.EX>.

Electric double-layer capacitors based on charge storage at the interface between a high surface area activated carbon electrode and an electrolyte solution are characterized by their long cycle-life and high power density in comparison with batteries. However, energy density of electric double-layer capacitors obtained at present is about 6 Wh/kg at a power density of 500W/kg which is smaller as compared with that of batteries and limits the wide spread use of the capacitors. Therefore, a new capacitor that shows larger energy density than that of electric double-layer capacitors is proposed. The new capacitor is the hybrid capacitor consisting of activated carbon cathode, carbonaceous anode and an organic electrolyte. Maximum voltage applicable to the cell is over 4.2V that is larger than that of the electric double-layer capacitor. As a result, discharged energy density on the basis of stacked volume of electrode, current collector and separator is more than 18Wh/l at a power density of 500W/l.
