The adventages of Li alloys have attracted the attention of many research groups, many of which have investigated tin-based alloys [1-2], Despite interesting performances of these, the irreversible capacity loss systematically observed on the first cycle for these compounds is a main drawback for their use as anode materials in lithium ion cells. Not only Sn is efficient in forming alloys with Li, Si can also react with Li to form alloys with a high Li/Si ratio, like Li$\_$22/Si$\_$5/ at 400$^{\circ}C$. It corresponds to a capacity of 4200mAh/g. Electrochemical Li-Si reaction occurs between 0 and 0.3 V against Li/Li$\^$+/, so that high-energy density battery can be realized. Despite the high theoretical capacity of elements like Si, however, particles of the alloys crack and fragment due to the repeated alloying and do-alloying which occurs as cell are charged and discharged. The research groups of Muggins [3] and Besenhard [4] have proposed that the volume expansion due to the insertion of Li can be reduced in micro- and submicro-structured matrix alloys. For this reason, the research group of J.R. Dahn investigated Sn/Mo sequential sputter deposition to prepare nanocomposites [5]. In this study, we investigated the characterization and the electrochemical characteristics of sequentially sputtered Si/Mo multilayer for microbattery anode.

리튬이차 박막전지로서, 실리콘 첨가(0, 2, 6, 10, 20㏖%)에 따른 주석 산화물 박막을 기판온도 30$0^{\circ}C$, Ar:O$_2$=7:3으로 R.F. magnetron sputtering법으로 제조하였다. 실리콘의 함량이 증가함에 따라, Si-O 결합량이 증가하고 Sn-O 결합량은 감소하였다. 적정량의 실리콘 첨가는 주석의 산화상태를 감소시켜 비가역성을 줄이고 충방전 동안 주석의 부피변화를 막아 사이클 특성이 향상되는 결과를 보여주었다. 6㏖% Si를 첨가한 주석 산화물 박막은 100사이클동안 700mAh/g의 용량을 가지는 가장 좋은 사이클 특성을 나타내었다.

기판의 변화가 박막전극의 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 박막 $LiCoO_2$ 양극을 alumina, chemically etched-Si그리고 flat-Si기판 위에 증착하였다. Alumina기판의 경우 산소 분위기, $800^{\circ}C$ 30분간 열처리 후 내부에 균열이 존재하는 매우 큰 결정이 형성되었으나 flat-Si 기판의 경우에는 미세하며 균일한 결정이 관찰되었다. Flat-Si 기판 위에 증착된 박막은 alumina또는 식각된 Si 기판의 경우에 비하여 peak potential증감 및 고 전류밀도 방출 능면에서 매우 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며 이는 열처리 후 형성된 결정립의 크기, 표면 형상 및 전류 집전체의 전기저항 차이에 기인한 것으로 생각되었다.

본 실험에서는 리튬 이차 박막전지의 음극물질로 주석 산화물 박막을 RF magnetron sputter을 이용하여 증착하였다. RF power와 공정 압력을 각각 $2.5W/cm^2$와 10mTorr로 고정시키고 박막 중의 산소량을 조절하기 위해 산소 분압을 $0\~100\%$까지 조절하여 실험하였으며, 산소량을 더 줄이기 위해 주석 금속 칩을 사용하여 조절하였다. 산소량을 줄여 줌으로써 비가역적으로 형성되는 리튬산화물의 량을 줄이고 고용량의 $SnO_x$음극 박막을 제조하였다. 그 중 $SnO_{1.43}$일 때 가장 큰 가역용량(약$ 500{\mu}Ah/cm^2{\mu}m$) 얻었다.

LiMn2O4 thin fiolm cathodes for Li-ion secondary battery were fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. As-deposited films were amorphous. A spinel structure could not be obtained LiMn2O4 films by in-situ thermal annealing. After post thermal annealing over $700^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere, LiMn2O4 films prepared above 100 W r.f. power could be crystallized into a spinel structure. The electrochemical property of the LiMn2O4 film cathodes was tested in a Li/1 M LiClO4 in PC/LiMn2O4 cell. From cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 2mV/sec of 2.5~4.5V, LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed good initial capacity. LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ showed the best crycling performance.

3-Dimensionally ordered macroporous $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film was prepared by a sol-gel and dip coating method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. An opal structure consisting of mono dispersed polystyrene beads (300 nm) was used as a template. After solution containing Mn and Li precursors was coated on the template-deposited substrate, the template and organic materials in the precursors was removed by calcination at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. And then the 3-dimensional $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with spinel structure was fabricated by heat treatment at 700 ${^{\circ}C}$. The structural and electrochemical property was investigated by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge cycler.

Ni/MH 박막전지의 전극으로 사용될 수 $Mg_{2}Ni$박막을 스퍼터링방법으로 제조하였다. $Mg_{2}Ni$합금박막은 Mg, Ni타?을 이용하여 동시에 스퍼터링함으로서 제조하였다. KOH 액체전해질 및 $Ni(OH)_2$전극을 이용하여 전기화학실험을 하였다. $Mg_2Ni$ 박막의 초기 싸이클 특성에 미치는 열처리 효과를 조사하기 위하여, $200-550^{\circ}C$로 변화시키면서 진공중에서 열처리를 하였다. 열처리온도가 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 초기방전용량이 증가하였으며, $400^{\circ}C$ 열처리시에는 활성화시의 방전용량이 약 160mAh/g으로 가장 크게 나타났다.

$LiCoO_{2}$ thin films have received attention as cathodes of thin film microbatteries in these days. In this study, $LiCoO_{2}$ thin films are fabricated by a sol-gel spin coating method followed by a post-annealing process. The thermal decomposition behaviour of precursor is investigated by TG/DTA analysis. The change of crystallinity, microstructure and electrochemical properties of final films as the drying temperature changes are also studied by XRD, SEM and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling test. The relationship between the discharge capacity and the drying temperature are intensively investigated in this work.

We present high-voltage liquid-electrolyte microbatteries, inspired from the high-voltage generation mechanism of electric eels using serially connected multiple-cell arrays. In the microbatteries, we purge air into the electrolyte filled in a channel layer to isolate serially connected multiple cell arrays using three surface-tension valves (cell-front, outlet, and cell-end valves). Compared to the previous multi-cell stack or interconnection, present microbatteries provide a reduced multi-cell charging time. We have designed and characterized four different prototypes C1, C10, C20, and C40 having 1, 10, 20, and 40 cells, respectively. In the experimental study, the threshold pressures of cell-front, outlet, and cell-end valves were measured as $460{\pm}47$, $1,000{\pm}53$, and $2,800{\pm}170$ Pa, respectively. The average charging time for C40 was measured as $26.8{\pm}4.9$ seconds where the electrolyte and air flow-rates are 100 and $10{\mu}l/min$, respectively. Microbatteries showed the maximum voltage of 12 V (C40), the maximum power density of $110{\mu}W/cm^2$ (C40), and the maximum power capacity of $2.1{\mu}Ah/cm^2$ (C40). We also proposed a tapered-channel to remove the reaction gas from the cell chamber using a surface tension effect. The present microbatteries are applicable to high-voltage portable power devices.
