The purpose of this study is to research and develop PEO/PVDF electrolytes and $LiMn_2O_4$ composite cathode for all-solid state lithium rechargeable battery. We investigated AC impedance response and charge/discharge cycling of $LiMn_2O_4$/SPE/Li cells. The cell resistance was decreased so much initial charge process from 0% SOC to 100% SOC. The radius of semicircle of $LiMn_2O_4$/SPE/Li cell was so much from initial state to 20th cycling. The discharge capacity of the $LiMn_2O_4$ composite cathode was 144mAh/g based on $LiMn_2O_4$.

These days, sales of battery electric vehicles have been rapidly increasing due to the strict CO₂ regulations. However, since it take too long to measure the energy economy of electric vehicles, it has been required to improve the procedure of energy economy measurement. In order to improve this problem, the present study analyzed the battery charge/discharge pattern according to the changes in battery SOC (state of charge). In general, the energy economy test is started with a battery SOC charged to 100 %. However, it was identified that when the battery is fully charged, it can actually be charged over the 100 % (e.g., 100.5 %). This can induce errors in the energy economy measurement. Therefore, the present study recommend to start the test at SOC 99.9 %. The regenerative braking was partly restricted for the SOC over 90 %. This made it difficult to estimate the overall energy economy of the electric vehicle. However, it was identified that there was no change in the battery charge/discharge characteristics under the SOC 90 %. Therefore, the energy economy test can be shortened by predicting the overall energy economy through a short mileage test.

In this study, a battery charge and discharge regulator of modular type is designed as paralleled bi-directional converter that is possible to provide the power without failure not only in the steady state but also in the transient period by the step load variation or the unexpected faults among the converter modules. Each converter module is designed to get stability, performance, reliability, and maintainability and the average current mode method used for controller has the advantages such as noise immunity, fast response, and the real average current signal acquisition. The equivalent model and small signal model for the paralleled battery chargerIdischarger are presented, and also the transfer functions are analyzed for the CCM(Continuous Charge Mode), CDM(Continuous Discharge Mode) and DDM(Discontinuous Discharge Mode). The experiments of the paralleled bi-directional converter are carried out in the step load variation, and in faults of one converter module respectively. And the performance of paralleled bi-directional converter is verified via the experimental results.

We investigated the electrochemical properties of lithium/molybdenum sulfide(Li/MoS$_2$) using tetra (ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether(TEGDME) electrolyte. The Li/TEGDME/MoS$_2$ cell showed the first discharge capacity of 288mAhg$^{-1}$. From the XRD, SEM results of the MOS$_2$ electrode in various cut-off voltage during charge-discharge process, MoS$_2$ partly changed into Li$_2$S and Mo during discharge and Li$_2$S partly recovered into MOS$_2$ and Li during charge. Full charged MOS$_2$ electrode showed lump shape of big size, which might be related to agglomerate of MoS$_2$ particles. Therefore, the degradation might be related to decrease of active material for electrochemical reaction by agglomeration of MOS$_2$.

With the continuous development in insulation of electrical equipment design, the reliability of the system has been enhanced. However, in the manufacturing process and during operation under continues stresses introduce local defects, such as voids between interfaces that can responsible to occurrence of partial discharge (PD), electric field distortion and accumulation of charges. These defects may lead to localize corrosion and material degradation of insulation system, and a serious threat to the equipment. A model of three layers of PI film with air gap is presented to understand the influence of interface and voids on exploitation conditions such as strong electrical field, PD activity and charge movement. The analytical analysis, and experimental results are good agreement and show that the lose contact between interfaces accumulate more residual charges and in consequences increase the electric field intensity and accelerates internal discharges. These residual charges are trapped charges, injected by the electrodes has often same polarity, so the electric field in cavities increases significantly and thus partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) decreases. Contrary, number of PD discharge quantity increases due to interface. Interfacial polarization effect has opposite impact on electric field and PDIV as compare to void.

We prepared $LiCo_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_2$ by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH.$H_2O$, $CoCO_3$.$xH_2O$ and $Ni(OH)_2$(mole ratio respectively) and heating at $850^{\circ}C$ for 5n. In the result of X-ray diffraction analysis, along fluctuation of the function of x in $LiCo_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_2$(003) peak and (104) peak indensities and ratio were varied. We awared through XRD that from 0 to 0.5 at x in $LiCo_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_2$ is well formed for hexagonal structure at one step heat treatment($850^{\circ}C$), but if Ni involve at $LiCo_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_2$ hexagonal structure is not well formed. In the result of charge/discharge tests charge/discharge capacity and effiency is different about various cathode. Therefore, the appropriate charge/discharge method must be selected for good characteristics.

Vanadate glass in the $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ system with 60mol% $V_2O_5$ was prepared by melting the bath in pt. crucible followed by quenching on the copper plate. We found that $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass ceramics obtained from nucleation of $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass showed significantly higher capacity and longer cycle life than conventionally made crystalline $LiV_3O_8$. In the present paper, We describe the charge/discharge properties during crystallization process and find the best crystallization condition of $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass as cathode material. The Charge and discharge capacity of $Li_2O-P_2O_5-V_2O_5$ glass was about 220mAh/g for the cell heat-treated at $250^{\circ}C$ for 2.5hr.

Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) which are fabricated using carbon based electrodes have been emerging at an alarming rate to fulfill the energy demand in the present day world. Activated charcoal has been accepted as a very suitable candidate for electrodes but its cost is higher than natural graphite. Present study is about fabrication of EDLCs using composite electrodes with activated charcoal and Sri Lankan natural graphite as well as a gel polymer electrolyte which is identified as a suitable substitute for liquid electrolytes. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, Cyclic Voltammetry and Galvanostatic Charge Discharge test were done to evaluate the performance of the fabricated EDLCs. Amount of activated charcoal and natural graphite plays a noticeable role on the capacity. 50 graphite : 40 AC : 10 PVdF showed the optimum single electrode specific capacity value of 15 F/g. Capacity is determined by the cycling rate as well as the potential window within which cycling is being done. Continuous cycling resulted an average single electrode specific capacity variation of 48 F/g - 16 F/g. Capacity fading was higher at the beginning. Later, it dropped noticeably. Initial discharge capacity drop under Galvanostatic Charge Discharge test was slightly fast but reached near stable upon continuous charge discharge process. It can be concluded that initially some agitation is required to reach the maturity. However, the results can be considered as encouraging to initiate studies on EDLCs using Sri Lankan natural graphite.
