All-solid-state batteries are promising energy storage devices in which high-energy-density and superior safety can be obtained by efficient cell design and the use of nonflammable solid electrolytes, respectively. This paper presents a systematic study of experimental factors that affect the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries. The morphological changes in composite electrodes fabricated using different mixing speeds are carefully observed, and the corresponding electrochemical performances are evaluated in symmetric cell and half-cell configurations. We also investigate the effect of the composite electrode thickness at different charge/discharge rates for the realization of all-solid-state batteries with high-energy-density. The results of this investigation confirm a consistent relationship between the cell capacity and the ionic resistance within the composite electrodes. Finally, a concentration-gradient composite electrode design is presented for enhanced power density in thick composite electrodes; it provides a promising route to improving the cell performance simply by composite electrode design.

겔형 VRLA전지의 파손방식을 조사하기 위하여 $100\%$ 방전심도에서 5시간율 전류로 충방전 수명시험을 하였다. 정전압 충전방식을 사용하여 충전전압을 2.40V와 2.50V로 하였을 때 1,000회 이상의 수명을 나타내었으며, 전지의 무게변화를 측정한 결과 각각 426.4g과 391.2g의 전해액이 감소하였다 2.50V로 충전한 전지가 우수한 수명특성을 나타내었으며, 전해액 손실량이 충전계수와 비례하는 것을 알 수 있었다 1,000회의 충방전 수명시험을 한 전지의 양극기판에는 약 $50{\mu}m$의 부식층이 관찰되었고, 활성물질의 미세구조는 크게 변하였다. 양극판의 파손방식은 활물질 탈락이며, 전해액 손실이 방전용량 감소의 원인인 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 mesocarbon microbeads(MCMB)카본에 에폭시 수지(resin)를 코팅시킴으로 서 카본전극 표면개질에 따른 전지 성능의 개선효과에 관하여 고찰하였다. 에폭시 수지에 의한 카본의 표면코팅은 MCMB 분말을 에폭시 수지가 용해된 THF(tetrahydrofuran)용액에 넣어 혼합함으로서 표면에 에폭시 수지가 코팅 되도록 하였다. 이렇게 에폭시 수지가 코팅된 MCMB를 $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 온도로 열처리하여 고분해능 투과전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 코팅층은 비정질 카본 구조를 지님을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 에폭시 수지에 의하여 코팅된 MCMB는 코팅되지 않은 MCMB보다 더 높은 BET비 표면적을 나타내었으며, 더 우수한 충방전 용량과 싸이클 특성을 나타내었다. 카본표면에 코팅된 에폭시 수지가 얇은 비정질 막으로 표면에 존재함으로서 전해질과 카본결정과의 반응을 억제시키는 방지막 역할을 하기 때문에 전지특성이 개선된 것으로 해석된다.

Recently, various researches are conducted in the application of regenerative energy produced during the operation of an electric locomotive. Regenerative energy is produced by a generator in the brake procedure. The generator is operated by kinetic energy of an electric railroad using an electric motor. The process of producing regenerative energy varies with the current type of a railroad and its running condition. The quality of electric power can be improved and electric energy can be utilized effectively, especially in the use of an energy storage system (ESS). Thus, it is necessary to apply ESS into AC section and high speed railway. This study analyses the composition of the regenerative ESS equipment installed in Yong-Jeong sectioning post, operational principle, charge and discharge algorithm and energy efficiency. The analysis shows that CO2 emissions can be reduced about 0.5 ton per a day. In addition, ESS helps saving the energy and the compensation of the voltage drop caused by the operation of high speed train when it is installed at the end of the feeder section. The number of high speed train will be increased continuously related to the electrification rate. Therefore, applying the ESS to high speed railway is expected to solve the instability of the feeder voltage and the equipment capacity problem caused by the high speed trains.

Recycling process involving mechanical, thermal, hydrometallurgical, and sol-gel step has been applied to recover cobalt and lithium from spent lithium ion batteries and to synthesize LiCoO$_2$from leach liquor as cathodic active materials. Electrode materials containing lithium and cobalt could be concentrated with 2-step thermal and mechanical treatment. Leaching behaviors of the lithium and cobalt in nitric acid media was investigated in terms of reaction variables. Hydrogen peroxide in 1 M HNO$_3$solution turned out to be an effective reducing agent by enhancing the leaching efficiency. O f many possible processes to produce LiCoO$_2$, the amorphous citrate precursor process (ACP) has been applied to synthesize powders with a large specific surface area and an exact stoichiometry. After leaching used LiCoO$_2$with nitric acid, the molar ratio of Li/Co in the leach liquor was adjusted at 1.1 by adding a fresh LiNO$_3$solution. Then, 1 M citric acid solution at a 100% stoichiometry was also added to prepare a gelatinous precursor. When the precursor was calcined at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, purely crystalline LiCoO$_2$was successfully obtained. The particle size and specific surface area of the resulting crystalline powders were 20 пm and 30 $\textrm{cm}^2$/g, respectively The LiCoO$_2$powder was proved to have good characteristics as cathode active materials in charge/discharge capacity and cyclic performance.

최근에 대용량 에너지 저장 시스템으로 레독스 흐름전지(Redox Flow Battery, RFB)가 활발히 연구 개발되고 있다. 불소계막을 대신할 저가의 탄화수소막이 RFB막으로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES) 막을 사용해 고가의 불소계막과 그 특성을 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지(VRB, Vanadium Redox Flow Battery)조건에서 비교하였다. 바나듐 이온투과도, 이온 교환 용량, OCV 변화, 팽윤, 충 방전 곡선, 에너지 효율 등을 측정했다. PAES 막은 Nafion 117막에 비해 바나듐 이온투과도가 낮고, 이온교환용량은 커서 Nafion 117을 사용한 RFB보다 에너지 효율이 높았다.

Since SiOC was introduced as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, it has been studied with different chemical compositions and microstructures using various silicon based inorganic polymers. Poly(phenyl carbosilane) is a SiOC precursor with a high carbon supply in the form of the phenyl unit, and it has been investigated for film applications. Unlike any other siloxane-based polymers, oxygen atoms must be utilized in an oxidation process, and the amount of oxygen is controllable. In this study, SiOC anodes were prepared using poly(phenyl carbosilane) with different heat treatment conditions, and their electrochemical properties as an anode material for lithium ion batteries were studied. In detail, cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge cycling behavior were evaluated using a half-cell. A SiOC anode which was prepared under a heat treatment condition at $1200^{\circ}C$ after an oxidation step showed stable cyclic performance with a reversible capacity of 360 mAh/g.
