본 연구에서는 리튬 이차전지의 양극 재료인 $Li[Ni_{0.575}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.325}]O_2$를 공침법(Co-precipitation)으로 전구체를 합성 하였고, 철(Fe)을 도핑 함으로써 양극 활물질을 합성하였다. 합성된 양극 활물질을 시차주사현미경 (SEM, Scanning electron microscope)과 X선-회절분석(XRD, X-ray diffraction)으로 분석하였다. X선-회절분석 결과 철(Fe)을 도핑 함으로써 a축과 c축이 증가하였고, $I_{(003)}/I_{(104)}$의 비가 증가하는 것과 $I_{(006)}+I_{(102)}/I_{(101)}$비가 작아지는 것을 통해 구조적 안정성이 증가하는 것을 확인했다. 전기화학적 특성 측정 결과 사이클 특성이 향상되었고, 임피던스 측정 결과 전하 이동 저항($R_{ct}$) 값이 낮아짐을 통해 전기화학적 분석 결과에서도 철(Fe)을 도핑 하였을 때 개선 된 특성을 나타내었다. 특히, 고온 조건에서 사이클 특성이 개선되는 것을 확인 하였는데, 이는 구조적 안정성이 사이클 특성에 기여하였기 때문이다.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop $TiS_2$ composite cathode for lithium polymer battery(LPB). $TiS_2$ electrode represent a class of insertion positive electrode used in Li secondary batteries. In this study, we investigated preparation of $TiS_2$ composite cathode and AC impedance response of $TiS_2$ composite/SPE/Li cells as a function of state of charge(SOC) and cycling. The resistance of B type cell using $TiS_2PEO_8LiClO_4PC_5EC_5$ composite cathode was lower than that of A type cell using $TiS_2PEO$ composite cathode. The cell resistance of B type cell is high for the first few percent discharge, decreases for midium discharge and then increases again toward the end of discharge. We believe the magnitude of the cell resistance is dominated by passivation layer impedance and small cathode resistance. AC impedance results indicate that the cell internal resistance increase with cycling, and this is attributed to change of passivation layer impedance with cycling. The passivation layer resistance($R_f$) of B type cell decreases for the 2nd cycling and then increases again with cycling. Redox coulombic efficiency of B type cell was about 141% at 1st cycle and 100% at 12th cycle. Also, $TiS_2$ specific capacity was 115 mAh/g at 12 cycle.

본 연구는 자동차 폐리튬 이차전지의 모듈로부터 재생할 수 있는 자원을 효율적으로 회수하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 모듈의 셀은 구리 박막, 알루미늄 박막, 그리고 이들 사이는 폴리머 재질의 격막으로 이루어져 있다. 셀은 특별히 제작한 글러브 상자 안에서 그리고 여러 번의 단계를 거쳐 손상 없이 완전히 해체 하였다. 우선적으로 양극활물질은 400 ℃에서 열처리하여 알루미늄 박막으로부터 분리하였다. 그런 후 분리된 양극활물질은 잔류되어 있는 탄소 성분을 제거하기 위해 800 ℃에서의 소성 후에 최종적으로 높은 순도로 회수되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 해서, 알루미늄 박막으로부터 양극활물질을 구성하고 있는 코발트(Co), 니켈(Ni), 망간(Mn), 리튬(Li)과 같은 희유금속들을 80% 이상 회수할 수 있었다.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are promising power generation devices which are ideal for residential and automobile applications, thanks to their fast transient characteristics. However, liquid water produced in PEM fuel cells should be properly managed to enhance the performances and durabilities of the cells. In this study, a visualization experiment was conducted to investigate the flow behavior of water droplets in cathode channels. The visualization experiment was done with four different model flow channels which were made by varying the material (Acrylic and Teflon) and the channel width (1 mm and 2 mm). Acrylic is hydrophilic (contact angle is about $80^{\circ}$) while Teflon is hydrophobic (contact angle is about $120^{\circ}$). A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was also performed to compare the observed and the simulated two-phase water/air flow characteristics in cathode channels. The computational models were made to be consistent with the geometries and surface properties of the model flow channels. Both the experimental and numerical results showed that the Teflon cathode channel with 1 mm width has the best water management performance among four model flow channels considered. A close correlation was found between the experimental visualization results and the numerical CFD simulation results.

We introduced nanoscale interfacial layers between the PV layer and the cathode in poly (3-hexylthiophene):methanofullerene bulk-heterojunction polymer photovoltaic (PV) cells. The nanoscale double interfacial layers were made of ultrathin poly (oxyethylenetridecylether) surfactant and low-work-function alloy-metal of Al:Li layers. It was found that the nanoscale interfacial layers increase the photovoltaic performance, i.e., increasing short-circuit current density and fill factor with improved device stability. For PV cells with the nanoscale double interfacial layers, an increase in power conversion efficiency of $4.18{\pm}0.24%$ was achieved, compared to that of the control devices ($3.89{\pm}0.08%$) without the double interfacial layers.

There are rising demands for developing more efficient energy materials to stem the depletion of fossil fuels, which have prompted significant research efforts on proton exchange fuel cells (PEFCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIBs). To date, both PEFCs and LIBs are being widely developed to power small electronics, however, their utilization to medium-large sized electric power resources such as vehicle and stationary energy storage systems still appears distant. These technologies increasingly rely upon polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) that transport ions from the anode to the cathode to balance the flow of electrons in an external circuit, and therefore play a central role in determining the efficiency of the devices; as ion transport is a kinetic bottleneck compared to electrical conductivity, enormous efforts have been devoted to improving the transport properties of PEMs. In present study, we carried out an in-depth analysis of the morphology effects on transport properties of PEMs. How parameters such as self-assembled nanostructures, domain sizes, and domain orientations affect conductivities of PEMs will be presented.

Nano-fibers of LiFePO4 were synthesized from a metal oxide precursor by adopting electrospinning method. After calcination of the above precursor nano-fibers at 800 ℃, LiFePO4 nano-fibers with a diameter of 300 ~ 800 nm, were successfully obtained. Measurement were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), videoscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM), respectively, were performed to characterize the properties of the as-prepared materials. The results showed that the crystalline phase and morphology of the fibers were largely influenced the starting materials and electrospinning conditions.

Since the discovery of the carbon nanotube(CNTs), they have attracted much attention because of unique properties that may impact many fields of science and technology. The considerable properties of CNTs include high surface area, outstanding thermal, electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. However, uniform deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon surface remains inaccessible territory because of the inert carbon surface. In this study, we prepared directly oriented CNTs on carbon paper as a catalyst support in cathode electrode. carbon surface was functionalized using aryl diazonium salt for increasing adhesion of Ni particles which is precursor for growing CNTs. For fabricate electrode, CNTs on carbon paper were grown by chemical vapor deposition using Ni catalyst and Pt nanoparticles were deposited on CNTs oriented carbon paper by polyol method. The performance was measured using Proton electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC). The structure and morphology of the Pt nanoparticles on CNTs were characterized by Scanning electron Microscopy(SEM) and Transmission electron Microscopy (TEM). The average diameter of Pt nanoparticles was 3nm.

In this study, nano-crystallized $Al_2O_3$ was coated on the surface of $LiFePO_4$ powders via a novel dry coating method. The influence of coated $LiFePO_4$ upon electrochemical behavior was discussed. Surface morphology characterization was achieved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), clearly showing nano-crystallized $Al_2O_3$ on $LiFePO_4$ surfaces. Furthermore, it revealed that the $Al_2O_3$-coated $LiFePO_4$ cathode exhibited a distinct surface morphology. It was also found that the $Al_2O_3$ coating reduces capacity fading especially at high charge/discharge rates. Results from the cyclic voltammogram measurements (2.5-4.2 V) showed a significant decrease in both interfacial resistance and cathode polarization. This behavior implies that $Al_2O_3$ can prevent structural change of $LiFePO_4$ or reaction with the electrolyte on cycling. In addition, the $Al_2O_3$ coated $LiFePO_4$ compound showed highly improved area-specific impedance (ASI), an important measure of battery performance. From the correlation between these characteristics of bare and coated $LiFePO_4$, the role of $Al_2O_3$ coating played on the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ was probed.
