Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) show promise for improving the lithium ion battery safety. However, due to oxidation of the PEO group and corrosion of the Al current collector, PEO-based SPEs have not previously been effective for use in $LiCoO_2$ (LCO) cathode materials at room temperature. In this paper, a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) PEO-based SPE was applied to examine the performance of a LCO/SPE/Li metal cell at different voltage ranges. The results indicate that the SPE can be applied to LCO-based lithium polymer batteries with high electrochemical performance. By using a carbon-coated aluminum current collector, the Al corrosion was mostly suppressed during cycling, resulting in improvement of the cell cycle stability.

폴리(에틸렌 옥사이드) (PEO)를 기초로 한 전해질의 이온 전도도는 같은 조성인데도 불구하고 보고 된 값은 연구자에 따라 수천 배의 차이가 난다. 한편 세라믹 입자를 충전하면 열적 취급에 따라서 이온전도성이 수천 배 변할 수 있음이 보고되고, 그 원인이 세라믹 입자-PEO 고분자의 상호작용 때문인 것으로 논의되었다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 입자가 충전되지 않은 PEO$_{10}$LiClO$_4$ 고분자 전해질에 대해서 여러 가지 열적 조건에 따른 이온 전도도의 변화 양상을 조사하고, 이온 전도도 값이 열적 이력에 따라 같은 시료에서도 수백 배 정도 차이가 날 수 있음을 보였다. 이는 PEO의 재결정화 과정이 너무 느리기 때문인 것으로 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 세라믹 충전제 효과가 전도도 이완 현상의 주원인이 아니라는 것을 나타낸다.다.

PEO계 고분자 전해질에 대한 최근까지의 많은 연구는 나노-세라믹 입자의 충전에 의한 전도도 증대가 주과제였다. 그러나 노화시간에 따른 이온 전도도의 지속적인 감소 현상은 이 시료의 응용 가능성에 치명적 단점임에도 불구하고 많은 경우에 무시되거나 간과되어 왔다. 노화 시간에 따른 전도도 감소 현상은 충전된 세라믹 입자에 의해 유발되는 것처럼 보고되어 왔다. 반면에 순수한 $PEO_8LiCIO_4$전해질의 전도도는 저자에 따라 고온에서는 거의 일치된 값이 보고되었지만 상온에서의 전도도 값은 10000배까지의 차이를 보이고 있다. 이는 상온에서의 전도도 값이 시료 제작이나 열적 역사에 크게 의존한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 $PEO_8LiCIO_4$와 나노-세라믹 입자가 충전된 $PEO_8LiClO_4/Al_2O_3$ 고분자 전해질의 전도도의 크기가 열적 전처리 및 노화 시간에 크게 의존함을 보였다. 또한 전도도 감소 현상은 순수한 시료나 충전된 시료에 거의 비슷한 정도로 나타나는 것을 측정하였으며, 이와 같은 노화 현상은 PEO-Li염 전해질이 상온에서 결정질과 비정질이 공존하는 비평형 상이기 때문에 일어나는 본래 내재되어 있는 성질이라는 것을 밝혔다.

The new type polymer electrolyte composed of polyacrylonitrile(PAN) baed polymer electrolyte contain LiClO$_4$-EC/PC and LiPF$\sub$6/-EC/PC were developed for the weightless and long or life time of lithium polymer battery system with using polyaniline electrode. The gel type electrolytes were prepared by PAN at different lithium salts in the glove box. We prepared for polymer electrolyte with knife casting method. The minimum thickness of PAN gel electrolyte for the slim type is about <400∼500$\mu\textrm{m}$. These gel electrolytes showed good compatibility with lithium electrode. The test cell of Li/polymer electrolyte/Lithium cobalt oxide solid state cell which was prepared by different lithium salt was researched by electrochemical technique. Resistance of polymer electrolyte which consist of LiClO$_4$ is more less than that of LiPF$\sub$6/ and cycle life is more longer than that of LiPF$\sub$6/.

Waterborne polyurethane as a new polymer electrolyte was synthesized by using relatively hydrophilic polyols. The morphology of polyurethane was changed as it was dispersed in water. In contrast to polyurethane ionomer, waterborne polyurethane did not form an ionic cluster but produced a binary system composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. In the colloidal system, the former and the latter existed at outward and inward, respectively. Waterborne polyurethane was prepared from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) /poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) copolymer, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate(MDI), ethylene diamine as a chain extender, and three ionization agents, 1,3-propane sultone, sodium hydride and lithium hydroxide. PEG/PPG copolymer was used for suppressing the crystallinity of PEG and N-H bond was ionized for increasing the electrochemical stability of polyurethane. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) (PEGDME) were used as plasticizers. DSC, FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR of the waterborne polyurethane were measured. Also, the ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes based on waterborne polyurethane and various concentrations of low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) or PEGDME were measured by AC impedance.

Pseudo capacitors belong to one group of super capacitors which are consisted with non carbon based electrodes. As such, conducting polymers and metal oxide materials have been employed for pseudo capacitors. Conducting polymer based pseudo capacitors have received a great attention due to their interesting features such as flexibility, low cost and ease of synthesis. Much work has been done using liquid electrolytes for those pseudo capacitors but has undergone various drawbacks. It has now been realized the use of solid polymer electrolytes as an alternative. Among them gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are in a key place due to their high ambient temperature conductivities as well as suitable mechanical properties. In this study, composition of a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based GPE was optimized and it was employed as the electrolyte in a pseudo capacitor having polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes. GPE was prepared using ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) and PAN as starting materials. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the GPE was $1.92{\times}10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ for the composition 202.5 PAN : 500 EC : 500 PC : 35 NaSCN (by weight). Performance of the pseudo capacitor was investigated using Cyclic Voltammetry technique, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique and Continuous Charge Discharge (GCD) test. The single electrode specific capacity (Cs) was found out to be 174.31 F/g using Cyclic Voltammetry technique at the scan rate of 10 mV/s and within the potential window -1.2 V to 1.2 V. The same value obtained using EIS was about 84 F/g. The discharge capacity ($C_d$) was 69.8 F/g. The capacity fade over 1000 cycles was rather a low value of 4%. The results proved the suitability of the pseudo capacitor for improving the performance further.

Organic/inorganic hybrid membranes have been prepared and evaluated as polymer electrolytes in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Previously, partially fluorinated poly (arylenether) was synthesized and the polymer was sulfonated by fuming sulfuric acid$(30\%\;SO_3)$. Modification of these polymers with coupling agent and inorganic materials was carried out to prepare membranes. Membranes cast from these materials were investigated in relation to the proton conductivity and weight loss at the room temperature. It was found that these membranes had a higher conductivity of $10^{-2}\;Scm^{-1}$ at the room temperature. But inorganic materials have leaked out from the hybrid membrane. If this problem is resolved, organic/inorganic hybrid membranes will become satisfactory Polymer electrolytes for the PEMFC.

Polymer electrolyte membranes are developed for the applications to facilitated transport membranes, fuel cells and solar cells. The polymer electrolyte membranes containing silver salt show the remarkably high separation performance for olefin/paraffin mixture in the solid state; the propylene permeance is 45 GPU and the ideal selectivity of propylene/propane is 15,000. For fuel cell membranes, the effects of the presence and size of the proton transport channels on the proton conductivity and methanol permeability were investigated. The cell performance for dye-sensitized solar cells employing polymer electrolytes are measured under light illumination. The overall energy conversion efficiency reaches 5.44 % at 10 ㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$, to our knowledge the highest value ever reported in the polymer electrolytes.
