In this study, a gel polymer electrolyte was prepared from urethane acrylate and its electrochemical performances were evaluated. And, $LiCoO_2/GPE/graphite$ cells were prepared and their performances depending on discharge currents and temperatures were evaluated. The precursor containing $5 vol\%$ curable mixture had a low viscosity relatively. Ionic conductivity of the gel polymer electrolyte at room temperature and $-20^{\circ}C$ was ca. $5.9\times10^{-3}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}\;and\;1.7\times10^{-3}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$, respectively. GPE showed electrochemical stability up to potential of 4.5V vs. $Li/Li^+.LiCoO_2/GPE/graphite$ cell showed a good high-rate and a low-temperature performance.

충 방전 전압범위와 용량이 다른 두 고분자물질을 복합체로 만들어 전극에 사용하여 다른 전기화학적 현상과 용량증대 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 상대적으로 전압은 높으나 용량이 적은 polyaniline(PANI)과 전압은 낮으나 용량이 큰 poly[1,2]bis-thio[1,8]-naphthylidine(PTND)을 사용하여 두 물질의 복합체를 합성하였다. 먼저 PTND 고분자를 합성하고, 얻어진 PTND 고분자 표면위에 PANI를 합성하였다. 합성여부와 미세구조를 FT-IR, XPS, FE-SEM 및 FE-TEM을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 순환전압 전류법 측정과 충 방전 용량측정을 통하여 리튬이차전지 고분자 양극 활물질로서 전기화학적 성능을 측정하였다. 상온, 1.3~4.0 V 전압구간에서 PANI/PTND 복합체의 1, 5 그리고 10 사이클 후 방전용량은 167 mAh/g, 90 mAh/g 그리고 81 mAh/g로 측정되었고, 이것은 PANI만 사용한 전극(80, 67, 62 mAh/g)에 비해 10사이클 후 약 30% 용량이 향상된 것이다. 50 사이클 이후 PANI/PTND 복합체의 방전용량은 67 mAh/g로 측정되었다.

본 연구에서는 습식분쇄, 분무건조 및 열처리 공정을 통해 알루미늄 및 마그네슘이 치환된 구형의 스피넬계 $Li_{1.10}Mn_{1.86}Al_{0.02}Mg_{0.02}O_4$ 양극재료를 합성하였다. 이때 공정변수로는 전구체를 만드는 분무건조공정에서 고형분(20~30 wt%)을, 열처리 공정에서는 산소분위기 유무를 변수로 하였다. 제조된 모든 양극재료는 상온에서 매우 우수한 전지특성을 보여주었으나, 출력특성에 있어서는 5C 방전곡선이 기준이 되는 0.1C 방전곡선 대비 서로 상이한 거동을 보임을 확인하였다. 이러한 고출력 거동의 차이는 첫째, 충방전 곡선상에서 3.3 V(vs. $Li/Li^+$) plateau 구간의 반응 용량 측정을 통해 양극재료의 산소결함 수준의 차이로 인한 것임을 확인하였다. 공기분위기에서 제조한 양극재료는 산소분위기에서 제조한 것에 비해 두 배 이상의 plateau 거동을 보이고 있으며, 이러한 현상으로부터 제조된 양극재료의 산소결함 정도와 방전초기 과전압 정도는 상관관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째로는 임피던스 측정을 통해 산출된 확산계수로부터 고형분이 상대적으로 낮은 상태에서 제조된 양극재료가 그렇지 않은 양극재료에 비해 상대적으로 절반 이하 낮은 값을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 입자 내부 형상 분석을 통한 내부 치밀도 및 임피던스 분석을 통한 확산속도의 차이를 확인함으로써, 방전 말단의 과전압 거동은 입자 내부의 리튬이온 확산속도와 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 확산계수는 고형분이 상대적으로 낮은 20 wt% 상태에서 제조된 양극재료의 경우가 가장 낮으며, 이는 동일 양극재료의 내부 공극률이 가장 높은 결과와 부합하는 것이다.

Phospho-olivine $LiFePO_4$ and $LiTi_{0.1}Fe_{0.9}PO_4$ cathode materials were prepared by the solid-state reaction. To improve conductivity we carried out electrochemical performance of $Ti^{2+}$ doped $LiFePO_4$. The $Ti^{2+}$ doped $LiFePO_4$ started 3.36 V of flat voltage on discharge curve and showed a gentle decline in the curve compared to undoped $LiFePO_4$ without great changes of capacity. And so, we could achieve to improve electrochemical performance as reversible, cycle life. Similarly, $LiFePO_4$ doping with $Ti^{2+}$ was showed the effect of dopant which was obtained the improved discharge capacity as 140 mAh/g and good cycling performance.

The characteristics of phenol removal and $UV_{254}$ matters variance were investigated and compared by the variation of operating factors (NaCl concentration, air flow rate, initial phenol concentration) in electrochemical reaction (ER) and dielectric barrier discharge plasma reaction (DBDPR), respectively. The phenol removal rate was shown as $1^{st}$ order both in ER and DBDPR. Also, the absorbance of $UV_{254}$ matters which means aromatic intermediates was analyzed to investigate the complete phenol degradation process. In ER, the phenol degradation and aromatic intermediates production rates increased by the increase of NaCl concentration. However, in DBDPR, the variation of NaCl concentration had no effect on the degradation of phenol and $UV_{254}$ matters. Air flow rate had a little effect on the removal of phenol and the variation of $UV_{254}$ matters in ER. The phenol removal rate in ER was a little higher than that in DBDPR. The produced $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ amounts in ER were 2 times and 10 times higher than those in DBDPR. The chlorine intermediates ($ClO_2$ and free chlorine) were produced in ER, however, they were not produced in DBDPR.

Energy storage devices have received a keen interest throughout the world due to high power consumption. A large number of research activities are being conducted on electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) because of their high power density and higher energy density. In the present study, an EDLC was fabricated using natural graphite based electrodes and ionic liquid (IL) based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The IL based GPE was prepared using the IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (1E3MITF) with the polymer poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the salt magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ - MgTF). GPE was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), DC polarization test, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test and cyclic voltammetry (CV) test. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the sample was 1.64 × 10^-4 Scm^-1. The electrolyte was purely an ionic conductor and the anionic contribution was prominent. Fabricated EDLC was characterized by EIS, CV and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) tests. CV test of the EDLC exhibits a single electrode specific capacitance of 1.44 Fg^-1 initially and GCD test gives 0.83 Fg^-1 as initial single electrode specific discharge capacitance. Moreover, a good stability was observed for prolonged cycling and the device can be used for applications with further modifications.

In order to design capacity of lithium ion battery, some calculations were carried out based on the characteristics of materials by the given battery shape and dimension. The principle of design was built by the interpretation of the correlation of material, electrochemical and battery factors. Parameters of materials are fundamental physical properties of constituent such as cathode. separator, anode, current collectors and electrolyte. Electrochemical factor includes potential pattern as a function of specific capacity, specific discharge capacity(or initial irreversible specific capacity or Ah efficiency) as a function of specific charge capacity and material balancing. Parameters of battery are dimension, construction hardware and performance. Battery capacity was simulated for a lithium cobalt dioxide as cathode and a hard carbon as anode to achieve 1100 mAh for the charge limit voltage of 4.2V, the weight ratio(+/-) of 2.4 and ICR18650. A fabricated test cell (ICR18650) which have weight ratio(+/-) of 2.4 discharged to 1093 mAh for the charge limit voltage of 4.2V. The sequential discharge capacity show good correspondence with designed capacity.

Here we report our preliminary results about nickel phosphide (Ni-P) electroless coating on the surface of cellulose paper (CP) and its feasibility as the anode for lithium (Li) batteries. In particular, CP can act as a flexible skeleton to maintain the mechanical structure, and the Ni-P film can play the roles of both the anode substrate and the active material in Li batteries. Ni-P films with different P contents were plated uniformly and compactly on the microfiber strands of CP. When they were tested as the anode for Li battery, their theoretical capacity per physical area was comparable to or higher than hypothetical pure graphite and P film electrodes having the same thickness. After the large irreversible capacity loss in the first charge/discharge process, the samples showed relatively reversible charge/discharge characteristics. All samples showed no separation of the plating layer and no detectable micro-cracks after cycling. When the charge cut-off voltage was adjusted, their capacity retention could be improved significantly. The electrochemical result was just about the same before and after mechanical bending with respect to the overall shape of voltage curve and capacity.

The fluorine-substituted $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode materials were synthesized by using the transition metal precursor, $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O$ and LiF. This was to facilitate the movement of lithium ions by forming more compact SEI layer and to reduce the dissolution of transition metals. The $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode material was sphere-shaped and each secondary particle had $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$ in size. The fluorine-substituted cathodes initially delivered low discharge capacity, but it gradually increased until 50th charge-discharge cycles. These results indicated that fluorine substitution gave positive effects on the structural stabilization and resistance reduction in materials.
