The application of polymer composite electrolyte in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (ASSLSBs) can guarantee high energy density and improve the interface contact between electrolyte and electrode, which has a broader application prospect. However, the inherent insulation of the sulfur-cathode leads to a low electron/ion transfer rate. Carbon materials with high electronic conductivity and electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity are usually selected to improve the electron/ion conduction of the composite cathode. In this work, PEO-LiTFSI-LLZO composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) with high ionic conductivity was prepared. The ionic conductivity was 1.16×10^-4 and 7.26×10^-4 S cm^-1 at 20 and 60℃, respectively. Meanwhile, the composite sulfur cathode was prepared with Sulfur, reduced graphene oxide and composite polymer electrolyte slurry (S-rGO-CPEs). In addition to improving the ion conductivity in the cathode, CPEs also replaces the role of binder. The influence of different contents of CPEs in the cathode material on the performance of the constructed battery was investigated. The results show that the electrochemical performance of the all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery is the best when the content of the composite electrolyte in the cathode is 40%. Under the condition of 0.2C and 45℃, the charging and discharging capacity of the first cycle is 923 mAh g^-1, and the retention capacity is 653 mAh g^-1 after 50 cycles.

Programmable Metallization Cell (PMC) is a memory device based on the electrolytical characteristic of chalcogenide materials. We investigated the nature of thin films formed by photo doping of Cu ions into chalcogenide materials for use in solid electrolyte of PMC. We were able to do more economical approach by using copper which play an electrolyte ions role. The results imply that a Cu-rich phase separates owing to the reaction of Cu with free atoms from chalcogenide materials.

Resistance-change Random Access Memory (ReRAM), which utilizes electrochemical control of nanoscale quantities of metal in thin films of solid electrolyte, shows great promise as a future solid state memory. The technology utilizes the electrochemical formation and removal of metallic pathways in thin films of solid electrolyte. Key attributes are low voltage and current operation, excellent scalability, and a simple fabrication sequence. In this study, we investigated the nature of thin films formed by photo doping of Ag+ ions into chalcogenide materials for use in solid electrolyte of programmable metallization cell devices. We measured the I-V characteristics by field-effect of the device. The results imply that a Ag-rich phase separates owing to the reaction of Ag with free atoms from chalcogenide materials.

Direct Carbon Fuel Cells (DCFCs) generates electricity directly converting the chemical energy in coal. In the present study, effects of anode and current collector materials on the power density of DCFC are investigated experimentally.

Power densities of 25 mm button cells with various combination of anode materials and current collector materials are measured.

The fuel cell is one of the green energy receiving a lot of attention. Among the fuel cells, it is generally referred to SOFC(solid oxide fuel cell) which is made up composites of a solid. SOFC has excellent merits in the side of environment and energy. However because of the high operating temperature, it has economic loss by the using of expensive materials and problems of structural instability by thermal stresses. Therefore, this study aims to the effect of analysis by the FEMLAB. The results have deformations and the maximum stresses from the variation of the thickness of vulnerability spots. The deformation shows expansion as 0.82% and the stress ${\sigma}_{xx}$ is 392MPa in electrolyte and -56.31MPa in anode. When increasing or decreasing the thickness to 50% of the reference thickness about the electrolyte which is vulnerable spots.

Dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC) have been considered one of the promising alternatives to conventional solar cells, because of their low cost, easy fabrication and relatively high energy conversion efficiency. However, although the cell offers reasonable efficiency at least 11%, the use of a liquid electrolyte placed technological challenges for achieving the desired durability and operational stability of the cell. In order to prevent or reduce electrolyte leakage considerable efforts have been made, such as p-type semiconductor or organic hole-transport material that better mechanical properties and simple fabrication processes. In this work, we synthesized solid-state electrolyte containing LiI and KI metal salt with starting materials of poly ethylene oxide to substitute liquid electrolyte enhance the ionic conductivity and solar conversion efficiency. Li+ leads to faster diffusion and higher efficiency and K+ leading to higher ionic conductivity. The efficiency of poly ethylene oxide/LiI system electrolyte is 1.47% and poly ethylene oxide/potassium electrolyte is 1.21%. An efficiency of 3.24% is achieved using solid-state electrolyte containing LiI and KI concentrations. The increased solar conversion efficiency is attributed to decreased crystallinity in the polymer that leads to enhanced charge transfer.

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.

웨어러블 디바이스, 전기자동차와 에너지저장시스템에 대한 전력 수요가 증가함에 따라 리튬이온 전지에 있어서 안전성은 가장 중요한 요소가 되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 가연성의 유기 액체전해질이 불연성의 고체전해질로 대체된 전고체 전지를 제조하려는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 고체전해질은 자체 이온전도도가 상대적으로 낮고 전극/전해질 계면에서 높은 저항이 발생하므로 실질적인 활용에 제약이 있었다. 이에 유무기 소재로 구성된 복합전해질은 고체전해질의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PEO 전해질과 LLZO 고체전해질을 복합화하여 전해질을 제조하였고, LLZO 고체전해질 함량에 따라 결정성, 형상 및 전기화학 성능 분석을 진행하였다. 결과로부터 PEO 전해질 내에 LLZO 고체전해질의 최적 함량 및 균일한 분포가 전체 복합전해질의 이온전도도 향상에 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

$TiO_2$ 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.
