Over the past few years, $LiFePO_4$ has been actively studied as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its advantageous properties such as high theoretical capacity, good cycle life, and high thermal stability. However, it does not have a very good power capability owing to the low lithium-ion diffusivity and poor electronic conductivity. Reduction in particle size of $LiFePO_4$ to the scale of nanometers has been found to dramatically enhance the above properties, according to many earlier reports. However, because of the intrinsically low tap density of nanomaterials, it is difficult to commercialize this method. Many studies are being carried out to improve the volumetric energy density of this material and many methods have been reported so far. This paper provides a brief summary of the synthesis methods and electrochemical performances of micro-spherical $LiFePO_4$ having high volumetric energy density.

The stabilized all-solid-state battery structure indicate a fundamental alternative to the development of next-generation energy storage devices. Existing liquid electrolyte structures severely limit battery stability, creating safety concerns due to the growth of Li dendrites during rapid charge/discharge cycles. In this study, a low-dimensional graphene quantum dot layer structure was applied to demonstrate stable operating characteristics based on Li+ ion conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance. Transmission electron microscopy analysis was performed to elucidate the microstructure at the interface. The low-dimensional structure of GQD-based solid electrolytes has provided an important strategy for stable scalable solid-state lithium battery applications at room temperature. This study indicates that the low-dimensional carbon structure of Li-GQDs can be an effective approach for the stabilization of solid-state Li matrix architectures.

Olivine structure of $LiFePO_4$ (LFP) is one of the most commonly used materials in aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries (ARLBs), and can store and release charge through the insertion/de-insertion of $Li^+$ between LFP and FP. We have fabricated LFP and LFP/FP electrodes on titanium paper and studied their electrochemical properties in 2 M $Li_2SO_4$. The LFP/FP electrode was determined to be a suitable electrode for electo-ostmotic pump (EOP) in terms of efficiency in water and 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution. Experiments to determine the effect of cations and anions on the performance of EOP using LFP/FP electrode have shown that $Li^+$ is the best cation and that the anion does not significantly affect the performance of the EOP. As the concentration of $Li_2SO_4$ solution was increased, the current increased. The flow rate peaked at $4.8{\mu}L/30s$ in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution and then decreased. When the EOP was tested continuously in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution, the EOP transported approximately 35 mL of fluid while maintaining a stable flow rate and current for 144 h.

The battery cells in lithium-ion battery pack assembled with high-capacity and high-power pouch cells, are commonly cooled with thin aluminum cooling plates in contact with the cells. For HEV/EV lithium-ion battery systems assembled with high-capacity, high-power pouch cells, the cells are commonly cooled with thin aluminum cooling plates in contact with the cells. Thin aluminum cooling plates are cooled by cold plate with coolant flow paths. In this study, the effect of the battery cooling system design including aluminum cooling plate thickness and various position of cold plate on the cooling performance are investigated by using finite element methods (FEM). Optimal cooling plate and cold plate design are proposed for improving the uniformity in temperature distributions as well as lowering average temperature for the cells with large capacities based on the simulation results.

$\o-LiMnO_2$ is known to have poor cycle performance causing the irreversible phase transformation on cycling. In this paper, the effect of chemical substitution on improving cycle performance of $o-LiMnO_2$ was studied at the compositions of $LiCr_xMn_{1-x}O_2$(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4). XRD is showed that structure of $LiCr_xMn_{1-x}O_2$ transformed from orthorhombic to spinel according to the increase of substitute degree. For lithium ion battery applications, $LiCr_xMn_{1-x}O_2$/Li cell were characterized electrochemically by charge/discharge cycling.

Lithium-ion batteries are actively used in various industrial sites such as field robots, drones, and electric vehicles due to their high energy efficiency, light weight, long life span, and low self-discharge rate. When using a lithium-ion battery in a field, it is important to accurately estimate the SoC (State of Charge) of batteries to prevent damage. In recent years, SoC estimation using data-based artificial neural networks has been in the spotlight, but it has been difficult to deploy in the embedded board environment at the actual site because the computation is heavy and complex. To solve this problem, neural network lightening technologies such as network pruning have recently attracted attention. When pruning a neural network, the performance varies depending on which layer and how much pruning is performed. In this paper, we introduce an optimized pruning technique by improving the existing pruning method, and perform a comparative experiment to analyze the results.

현재 이차전지에서 사용중인 양극활물질은 구조 안정성이 높은 층상구조(Layered Structure)의 리튬 금속 산화물(Solid State Lithium Oxide Compounds)이 주로 사용된다. 최근에는 리튬이차전지의 성능향상을 위해서 음극활물질과 전해질 사이의 계면뿐만 아니라, 양극활물질과 전해질 사이의 계면에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 계면의 연구를 위해서는 음극활물질 뿐만 아니라, 양극활물질의 표면에 관한 연구도 선행적으로 이루어져야 하는 상황이다. 대표적인 리튬금속 산화물질인 니켈산리튬($LiNiO_2$)과 코발트산리튬($LiCoO_2$)은 서로 매우 유사한 구조를 갖는 층상구조의 양극활물질이다. 코발트산리튬이 다양한 실험적, 이론적 연구가 진행된 반면에, 니켈산 리튬은 실험적 연구에 비해서 이론적 연구가 부족하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 니켈산리튬의 X-선 회절계 측정 결과(XRD data)에 나오는9개의 표면 방향을 범밀도함수이론(Density Functional Theory)을 이용하여 니켈산리튬 표면의 표면 에너지를 계산하였다. 니켈산리튬의 X-선 회절계 측정 결과(XRD data)에서는 (003), (104), (101), (110) 결정 등등이 순차적으로 주요하게 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 시뮬레이션을 이용한 각각의 표면 에너지 계산 결과, X-선 회절계 측정 결과와 다른 순서로 안정한 표면 에너지가 나타나는 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 에너지적으로 안정한 표면이자, X-선 회절계에서 주요하게 나타나는 (104)와 (101) 방향의 니켈산리튬 표면이 많이 노출되어 Li 이온의 충방전시 리튬의 삽입 탈리에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

A fully integrated cost-effective and low-power single chip Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery protection IC (BPIC) for portable devices is presented. The control unit of the battery protection system and the MOSFET switches are integrated in a single package to protect the battery from over-charge, over-discharge, and over-current. The proposed BPIC enters into low-power standby mode when the battery becomes over-discharged. A new auto release function (ARF) is adopted to release the BPIC from standby mode and safely return it to normal operation mode. A new delay shorten mode (DSM) is also proposed to reduce the test time without increasing pin counts. The BPIC implemented in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process occupies an area of $750{\mu}m{\times}610{\mu}m$. With DSM enabled, the measured test time is dramatically reduced from 56.82 s to 0.15 s. The BPIC chip consumes $3{\mu}A$ under normal operating conditions and $0.45{\mu}A$ under standby mode.
