So far the most practical polymer electrolytes are gel systems, which contain a polymeric matrix, a lithium salt, and aprotic organic solvents. This has met with success but has had disadvantages that the addition of solvents promotes deterioration of the electrolyte's mechanical properties and increases its reactivity towards the lithium metal anode.[1](omitted)

Bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate를 가교제로 사용하여 PEO계 고분자 고체전해질을 제조하였으며, 이의 전기화학적 특성 및 기계적인 물성을 조사하였다. 제조된 고분자 고체전해질은 이온전도도를 높이기 위해 비휘발성의 PEGDMe [poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether]를 가소제로 도입하였다. 첨가된 PEGDMe 함량이 높을수록 전기전도도는 증가하였다. 최대 이온전도도는 30에서 1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$S/cm [Bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate ([EO]/[phenol]=15), PEGDMe250 80 wt%, LiCF$_3SO_3$]이었다. 제조된 고분자 전해질의 인장강도는 0.4 ~ 5 MPa이었으며 ${\phi}$=3 mm 봉에 대해 90$^{\circ}$ 및 180$^{\circ}$ 의 굽힘에도 균열을 발생하지 않았다. 리튬 기준전극에 대해 4.5 V 이상의 산화전위에도 전기화학적으로 안정하였다.

We introduced a new UV-cured resin polymer gel as an electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that is cured with UV irradiation to form a thin film of UV-cured resin polymer gel in the cells. The gel film was characterized and its potential for use as an electrolyte in DSSCs was investigated. This new UV-cured resin polymer gel was successfully applied as a gel polymer electrolyte in DSSCs overcoming the problems associated with the liquid electrolytes in typical DSSCs. The effect of ${\gamma}$-butylrolactone (GBL) on the long-term stability and photovoltaic performance in DSSCs using this UV-cured resin polymer gel electrolyte was also investigated. The results of the energy conversion efficiency, ionic conductivity and Raman spectra of the UV-cured resin polymer gel electrolyte with the addition of 6 wt % GBL to the UV-cured resin polymer electrolyte showed good long-term stability and photovoltaic performance for the DSSCs with the UV-cured polymer gel electrolyte.

본 연구에서는 poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)와 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 블렌드를 고분자 매트릭스(matrix)로 사용하고, 가소제로propylene carbonate (PC), 리튬염인 $LiClO_4$, 그리고 서로 다른 함량의 세라믹 필러인 $TiO_2$를 이용하여 용액 캐스팅(solution casting)법에 의해 고분자 복합체 전해질 필름을 제조하였다. 고분자 전해질의 결정화도와 이온전도도는 각각, X선 회절분석기(XRD)와 AC임피던스법을 통해 분석하였고, 표면 형태학(morphology)을 조사하기 위해 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 고찰하였다. 그 결과, $TiO_2$의 함량을 증가시킴으로써 PEO의 결정화 영역이 감소하였고, 이온전도도는 증가하였다. 특히 $TiO_2$의 함량이 15 wt%일 때 가장 높은 이온전도도가 관찰된 반면, 15 wt% 이상을 첨가한 경우, 이온전도도가 감소된 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이는 표면 형태학를 통해 고분자와 필러간의 비혼합성 혹은 필러응집에 의해 불균일적인 형태학이 나타남으로써 이온전도도가 감소하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), 가소제인 ethylene carbonate(EC), 리튬염인 $LiClO_4$ 그리고 $Na^+-MMT/organic$ MMT를 이용하여 고분자/층상 실리카 나노복합재료(polymer/(layered silicate) nanocomposites, PLSN)를 제조하였으며, organic MMT의 첨가에 따른 고분자 매트릭스에 미치는 영향을 이온전도도를 통하여 관찰하였다. 리튬전지의 전해질로서의 응용을 위해, $Na^+$를 양이온으로 갖는 순수한 MMT($Na^+-MMT$)를 유기화한 nanoclay(organic-MMT)를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 층간 거리 및 소수성이 증가하며 이와 같은 특성은 PEO와의 나노복합체를 형성할 때 MMT의 박리 거동에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이온전도도에서는 organic MMT가 순수한 $Na^+-MMT$보다 우수함을 나타내었으며, methyl dihydrogenated tallow ammonium으로 개질된 MMT(MMT-2OA)를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 이온전도도를 보였다.

Liquid crystal (LC; E7 and/or ML-0249)-embedded, poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-co-HFP)-based, polymer electrolytes were prepared for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The electrolytes contained 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (PMII), tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), and iodine ($I_2$), which participate in the $I_3^-/I^-$ redox couple. The incorporation of photochemically stable PVdF-co-HFP in the DSSCs created a stable polymer electrolyte that resisted leakage and volatilization. DSSCs, with liquid crystal(LC)-embedded PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolytes between the amphiphilic ruthenium dye N719 absorbed to the nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ photoanode and the Pt counter electrode, were fabricated. These DSSCs displayed enhanced redox couple reduction and reduced charge recombination in comparison to that fabricated from the conventional PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolyte. The behavior of the polymer electrolyte was improved by the addition of optimized amounts of plasticizers, such as ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC). The significantly increased short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$, $14.60\;mA/cm^2$) and open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$, 0.68 V) of these DSSCs led to a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.42% and a fill factor of 0.65 under a standard light intensity of $100\;mW/cm^2$ irradiation of AM 1.5 sunlight. A DSSC fabricated by using E7-embedded PVdF-co-HFP-based polymer electrolyte exhibited a maximum incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 50%.

폴리에틸렌 옥사이드(PEO)/리튬 삼불화메탄 술포네이트(${LiCF}_{3}{SO}_{3}$)착제에 평균 직경 $1{\mu}$m인 미세 세라믹 분말 ($\gamma -{LiALO}_{2}$)을 혼합하여 얻은 복합체 고분자 전해질의 특성을 형태학 및 기계적 성질의 관점에서 고찰하였다. 균일하게 분산된 세라믹 분말을 상온에서 고체 고분자 전해질의 전기적, 기계적 성질을 크게 향상시키는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 그 조성에 따라 그 특성이 변하였다. 본 연구에서 조사된 복합체 고분자 전해질의 경우, 상온에서 최대 이온 전도도를 나타내는 ${LiAlO}_{2}$의 최적 함량은 약 20%인 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the cycling behavior of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode in a cross-linked gel polymer electrolyte based on non-flammable ionic liquid consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and vinylene carbonate. The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrodes in ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes exhibited reversible cycling behavior with good capacity retention. Cycling data and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses revealed that the optimum content of the cross-linking agent necessary to ensure both acceptable initial discharge capacity and good capacity retention was about 8 wt %.

Proton conducting polymeric gels as the electrolytes of electrochemical capacitors have been prepared by two different methods: 1) swelling a polymethacrylate-based polymer matrix in aqueous solutions of inorganic and organic acids, and 2) polymerizing complexes of anhydrous acids and prepolymers with organic plasticizer. The FT-IR spectra strongly suggest that the carbonyl groups in the polymer matrix interact with protons from the doped acids. High ionic (proton) conductivity in the range of $6\times10^{-4}-4\times10^{-2}\;S\;cm^{-1}$ was obtained at room temperature for the aqueous gels. The non-aqueous polymer complexes showed rather low ionic conductivity, but it was about $10^{-3}\;S\;cm^{-1}\;at\;70^{\circ}C$ for the $H_3PO_4$ doped polymer electrolyte. The mechanisms of ion (proton) conduction in the polymeric systems are discussed.

The solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing polymer electrolytes show high overall energy conversion efficiency as high as 4.5 % at 1 sun conditions. The improved efficiency may be primarily due to the enlarged interfacial contact area between the electrolyte and dyes in addition to the increased ionic conductivity, which were done by utilizing liquid oligomers, followed by in situ self-solidification, to form the solid DSSCs: "Oligomer Approach". The effect of the charge transfer resistance at the counter electrode side on the efficiency has also been investigated.
