We demonstrated the thin film deposition of sodium phosphorous oxynitride (NaPON) via RF magnetron sputtering of $Na_3PO_4$, as a solid-state Na-ion conductor similar to lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON), which is a commonly used solid electrolyte. The deposited NaPON thin film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, to investigate the feasibility of the solid-state electrolyte in several different cell configurations. The key properties of a solidstate electrolyte, i.e., ionic conductivity and activation energy, were estimated from the complex non-linear least square fitting of the measured impedance spectra at various temperatures in the range of $27-90^{\circ}C$. The ionic conductivity of the NaPON film was measured to be $8.73{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ at $27^{\circ}C$, which was comparable to that of the LiPON film. The activation energy was estimated to be 0.164 eV, which was lower than that of the LiPON film (0.672 eV). The obtained values encourage the use of a NaPON thin film in the future as a reasonable solid-state electrolyte.

Supramolecules containing double hydrogen bonding sites at their both chain ends were self-polymerized to become solid state polymer and were utilized to improve the efficiency of solid state DSSCs. Hydrogen bonding sites were attached at the chain ends of PEG of Mw=2000, such as pyrimethamine and glutaric acid. The solar cell with the solid state supramolecular polymer electrolyte resulted in the overall energy conversion efficiency of 4.63 % with a short circuit current density $(J_{sc})$ of 10.41 $mAcm^{-2}$, an open circuit voltage $V_{oc}$, of 0.71 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.62 at one sun condition ([oligomer]:[1-methyl-3-propyl imidazolium iodide (MPII)]:$[I_2]$ = 20 : 1 : 0.19, active area = 0.16 $cm^2$, $TiO_2$ layer thickness = 10 ${\mu}m$). The ionic conductivity of the sol id state electrolyte was $5.11{\times}10^{-4}$ (S/cm). The cell performance was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ionic conductivity.

$TiO_2$ anatase nanotube arrays (NTAs) were grown by electrochemical anodization and followed annealing of Ti foil. Ethylene glycol/$NH_4F$-based organic electrolyte was used for electrolyte solution and using second anodization process to obtain free-standing NTAs. After obtaining NTAs, ITO film was deposited by sputtering process on bottom of NTAs. UV-curable NOA was used for attach free-standing NTAs on flexible plastic substrate (PEN). Solid state electrolyte (spiro-OMeTAD) was coated via spin-coating method on top of attached NTAs. Ag was deposited as a counter electrode. Under AM 1.5 simulated sunlight, optical characteristics of devices were investigated. In order to use flexible polymer substrate, processes have to be conducted at low temperature. In case of $TiO_2$ nano particles (NPs), however, crystallization of NPs at high temperature above $450^{\circ}C$ is required. Because NTAs were conducted high temperature annealing process before NTAs transfer to PEN, it is favorable for using PEN as flexible substrate. Fabricated flexible solid-state DSSCs make possible the preventing of liquid electrolyte corrosion and leakage, various application.

Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using a polymer matrix in electrolyte in the purpose of the improvement of the durability in the dye-sensitized solar cell. In these dye-sensitized solar cells, the polymer electrolyte consisting of $I_2$, LiI, ionic liquid, ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate and polymer matrix was casted onto $TiO_2$ electrode impregnated Ruthenium complex dye as a photosensitizer. Photovoltaic properties of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells using polymer matrix (PMMA, PEG, or PAN) were investigated. Comparing photovoltaic effects of cells using hole conducting polymers (BE or 6P) instead of polymer matrix, we investigated the availability of the solid-state polymer electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells.

전고체전지의 상용화를 위해서는 상온에서 작동이 가능한 고체전해질 개발이 필수적이며 이온전도도가 높은 물질을 채택하여 전고체전지를 제조해야 한다. 따라서, 기존의 옥사이드 계열의 고체의 이온전도도를 높이기 위하여 이종원소가 도핑된 Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO)를 필러소재(Al, Nb-LLZO)로 사용하였으며, 상온에서 작동이 가능하도록 Poly(ethylene oxide)/Poly(propylene carbonate) (PEO/PPC) 기반의 가넷형 무기계 고체고분자 전해질을 제조하였다. 이원금속 원소를 도핑한 가넷형 무기계 필러와 PEO/PPC (1:1 비율로 섞인) 고분자를 1:2.4의 비율로 균일하게 교반하여 전해질을 합성해 상온과 60 ℃에서 전고체 전지의 전기학적 성능을 분석하였다. 제조한 복합 전해질은 이원금속의 도핑으로 인하여 이온전도도가 향상되었으며, PEO 단독으로 사용하는 전해질보다 PPC를 1:1로 첨가하였을 때 이온전도도 향상을 도와 60 ℃ 뿐만 아니라 상온에서 전고체 전지의 용량과 용량 유지율이 개선되었음을 확인하였다.

A programmable metallization cell (PMC) memory structure with copper-saturated GeTe solid electrolyte films doped by nitrogen was prepared on a TiW bottom electrode by a co-sputtering technique at room temperature. The $Ge_{45}Te_{55}$ solid electrolyte films deposited with various $N_2$/Ar flow ratios showed an increase of crystallization temperature and especially, the electrolyte films deposited at $N_2$/Ar ratios above 30% showed a crystallization temperature above $400^{\circ}C$, resulting in surviving in a back-end process in semiconductor memory devices. The device with a 200 nm thick $Cu_{1-x}(Ge_{45}Te_{55})_x$ electrolyte switches at 1 V from an "off " state resistance, $R_{off}$, close to $10^5$ to an "on" resistance state, Ron, more than 20rders of magnitude lower for this programming current.

최근 리튬이차전지의 안전성을 향상시킨 전고체 전지가 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있으나 전도성 세라믹 또는 고체 고분자 전해질을 적용한 고체전지는 높은 계면 저항, 부반응 등과 같은 문제점을 지니고 있어 전기화학적 특성이 낮다. 기존 전고체 전지의 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 복합고체 전해질이 제안되었으며 본 연구에서는 나시콘 구조의 나노 입자 Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5P₃O₁₂ (LATP) 전도성 세라믹, PVdF-HFP, 카보네이티 기반 액체전해질을 복합화 하여 유사고체 전해질을 제작하였다. 이 복합고체 전해질은 5.6 V의 높은 전압 안전성을 가지며 리튬이온의 탈리-착리 테스트에서 리튬 금속전극의 덴드라이트 성장 억제 효과가 있음을 보여준다. 또한 복합고체 전해질을 적용한 LiNi_0.83Co_0.11Mn_0.06O₂ (NCM811)기반 전지에서 4.8 V의 높은 충전 종지 전압에도 241.5 mAh/g의 높은 방전 용량을 나타내며 안정적인 전기화학 반응이 일어난다. NCM811 기반 전지의 90도 충전-방전 중에도 전지의 단락이나 폭발 없이 139.4 mAh/g 방전 용량을 보인다. 따라서 LATP기반 복합고체 전해질은 리튬이차전지의 안전성과 전기화학적 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 알 수 있다.

Recently, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted increasing interest owing to their higher energy density and safety. As the core material of ASSBs, the characteristics of the solid electrolyte largely determine the performance of the battery. Thus far, a variety of inorganic solid electrolytes have been studied, including the NASICON-type, LISICON-type, perovskite-type, garnet-type, glassy solid electrolyte, and so on. The garnet Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) solid electrolyte is one of the most promising candidates because of its excellent comprehensively electrochemical performance. Both, experiments and theoretical calculations, show that cubic LLZO has high room-temperature ionic conductivity and good chemical stability while contacting with the lithium anode and most of the cathode materials. In this paper, the crystal structure, Li-ion transport mechanism, preparation method, and element doping of LLZO are introduced in detail based on the research progress in recent years. Then, the development prospects and challenges of LLZO as applied to ASSBs are discussed.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) using inorganic sulfide-based solid electrolytes are considered prospective alternatives to existing liquid electrolyte-based batteries owing to benefits such as non-flammability. However, it is difficult to form a favorable solid-solid interface among electrode constituents because all the constituents are solid particles. It is important to form an effective electron conduction network in composite cathode while increasing utilization of active materials and not blocking the lithium ion path, resulting in excellent cell performance. In this study, a mixture of fibrous VGCF and spherical nano-sized Super P was used to improve rate performance by fabricating valid conduction paths in composite cathodes. Then, composite cathodes of ASSBs containing 70% and 80% active materials ($LiNi_{0.6}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.2}O_2$) were prepared by a solution-based process to achieve uniform dispersion of the electrode components in the slurry. We investigated the influence of binary carbon additives in the cathode of all-solid-state batteries to improve rate performance by constructing an effective electron conduction network.
