Technologies for lithium secondary batteries are now increasingly expanding to simultaneously improve the safety and higher energy and power densities of large-scale battery systems, such as electric vehicles and smart-grid energy storage systems. Next-generation lithium batteries, such as lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and lithium-air (Li-O₂) batteries by adopting solid electrolytes and lithium metal anode, can be a solution for the requirements. In this analysis of battery technology trends, solid electrolytes, including polymer (organic), inorganic (oxides and sulfides), and their hybrid (composite) are focused to describe the electrochemical performance achievable by adopting optimal components and discussing the interfacial behaviors that occurred by the contact of different ingredients for safe and high-energy lithium secondary battery systems. As next-generation rechargeable lithium batteries, Li-S and Li-O₂ battery systems are briefly discussed coupling with the possible use of solid electrolytes. In addition, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institutes achievements in the field of solid electrolytes for lithium rechargeable batteries are finally introduced.

In this study, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is conducted with recurrence relation to study the effect of SiO₂ with different particle size and their roles in enhancing the ionic conductivity and lithium transference number of PMMA composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs). The MC simulated ionic conductivity is verified with the measurements from Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Then, the lithium transference number of CPEs is calculated using recurrence relation with the MC simulated current density and the reference transference number obtained. Incorporation of micron-size SiO₂ (≤10 ㎛) fillers into the mixture improves the ionic conductivity from 8.60×10^-5 S/cm to 2.35×10^-4 S/cm. The improvement is also observed on the lithium transference number, where it increases from 0.088 to 0.3757. Furthermore, the addition of nano-sized SiO₂ (≤12 nm) fillers further increases the ionic conductivity up towards 3.79×10^-4 S/cm and lithium transference number of 0.4105. The large effective surface area of SiO₂ fillers is responsible for the improvement in ionic conductivity and the transference number in PMMA composite polymer electrolytes.

Flexible zinc-air batteries have many merits, including low cost, high safety, environmentally friendliness applicability, etc. One of the key factors to improve the performance of flexible zinc-air batteries is to use a gel electrolyte. In this study, gel electrolytes were synthesized from potato, sweet potato, and corn starch. In a comparison of each starch, the corn starch-based gel electrolyte showed the highest discharge capacity of 12.41 mAh/cm² in 20 mA and 6.47 mAh/cm² in 30 mA. It also delivered a higher specific discharge capacity of 7.06 mAh/cm² than the other materials after 100° bending. In addition, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was analyzed to calculate the ionic conductivity. The potato, sweet potato, and corn starch-based gel electrolytes showed electrolyte resistances (Re) of 0.306, 0.298, and 0.207 Ω, respectively. In addition, the corn starch-based gel electrolyte delivered the highest ionic conductivity of 0.121 S cm^-1 among the other gel electrolytes. Thus, the corn starch-based gel electrolyte was verified to improve the performance of flexible zinc-air batteries.

본 연구에서는 에틸렌 옥사이드의 반복 단위 길이 (n＝3, 7.3, 11.8, 그리고 16.3)가 다른 리튬 p-［메톡시 올리고(에틸렌옥시)］벤젠설폰산염 (LiEOnBS)을 합성하였다. 이 전해질 염을 이용하여 고분자 전해질을 제조하였으며, 에틸렌 옥사이드의 반복 단위 길이 및 농도에 따른 이온 전도도 그리고 리튬 이온의 운반율에 대해 조사하였다. 고분자 전해질의 이온 전도도는 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 4.89$\times$$10^{-4}$ S/cm (LiEO7.3BS, 0.5 M)로 최고 이온 전도도를 보였다. Dc분극과 ac 임피던스를 혼합하여 측정한 고분자 전해질의 리튬 이온의 운반율은 0.75~0.92 이였으며, 농도가 증가할수록 리튬 이온 운반율은 감소하였다. LiEO7.3BS의 전해질 염을 0.1 M로 사용한 고분자 전해질인 경우 0.92로 최고의 리튬 이온 운반율을 보였다. 이로부터 벤젠설포네이트에 치환된 에틸렌 옥사이드의 반복 단위가 3이상만 되어도 높은 리튬 이온 운반율을 가지는 단일 이온 전해질 특성을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

This study was aimed to investigate the electrolytes and its relationship with acute stroke patients in each stroke type by case-control study. 217 patients with first-ever acute stroke within 2 weeks as the case group(Cases), 146 people without four major risk factors(hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidema and ischemic heart disease) as the healthy control group(Normals), and 160 people as the general control group(Controls) were recruited at the Stroke Medical Center in Daejeon University Oriental Medicine Hospital from july 2005 to march 2007 for this case-control study. We analyzed the odds ratio of electrolytes in binary logistic analysis and evaluated each stroke type and general characteristics such as age, sex etc. The level of sodium(Na+) and potassium(K+) were significantly lower in LAA, SVO type of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. But the level of chloride(Cl-) had no significant relation with stroke occurance. In this study we demonstrated that low sodium(Na+) and potassium(K+) have an influence on stoke occurance than chloride(Cl-). And we think that the electrolytes must be considered in risk factors of ischemic stroke in Korean and more prospective studies are needed.

The over-discharging phenomena in sodium-nickel chloride batteries were investigated in relation to decomposition of molten salt electrolyte and consequent metal co-deposition. From XRD analysis, the material deposited on graphite cathode current collector was revealed to be by-product of molten salt electrolyte decomposition. In particular, the result showed that the Ni-Al alloys ($Al_3Ni_2$, $Ni_3Al$ and $Al_3Ni$) were electrochemically deposited on graphite current collectors in line with over-discharging behaviors. It is assumed that the $NiCl_2$ solubility in molten salt electrolytes leads to the co-deposition of Ni-Al alloys by increasing metal deposition potential above 1.6 V (vs. $Na/Na^+$). The cell tests have revealed that the composition of molten salt electrolytes modified by various additives makes a decisive influence on the over-discharging behaviors of the cells. It was revealed that NaOCN addition to molten salt electrolytes was advantageous to suppress over-discharge reactions by modifying the characteristics of molten salt electrolytes. NaOCN addition into molten salt electrolytes seems to suppress Ni solubility by maintaining basic melts. The cell using modified molten salt electrolyte with NaOCN (Cell D) showed relatively less cell degradation compared with other cells for long cycles.

1991년 lithium-ion battery(LIB)가 상용화된 이후, 초기 전해질은 주로 lithium cobalt oxide($LiCoO_2$) 양극과 graphite 음극의 특성에 집중되어 연구되어 왔다. 또한 전극과 전해질 간의 적합성에 대한 다양한 연구들이 이들 간의 계면에서 활발히 진행되었다. 이후 Si, Sn 등의 비탄소계 음극소재와 3성분(Ni, Mn, Co)계, spinel, olivine 등의 양극 소재를 리튬 2차전지에 채용하려 함에 따라 기존 전해질 재료들도 많은 도전에 직면하게 되었다. 특히, 안전성 문제가 최근 심각하게 부각됨에 따라 전해질의 요구특성은 점점 복잡해지고 까다로워지고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 전극소재 변화에 따른 전해질 소재의 다양한 변화와 그 특성에 대하여 구성요소 별로 연구 및 개발 동향을 정리하였다.

리튬이온전지용 Al 집전체와 비수용성 전해질의 전기화학적 특성을 연구하기 위하여 1 M $LiBF_4$ EC : DMC, 1 M $LiBF_4$ EC : EMC. 1 M $LiPF_6$ EC : DMC. 1 M $LiPF_6$ EC : EMC의 4가지 전해질에서 전압전류 및 임피던스 특성을 조사하였다. Al 집전체는 비교적 넓은 전위창(0.5~4.1 V)에서 안전하지만, 첫 싸이클의 저 전위에서(<2.0 V vs. $Li/Li^{+}$)에서 전해질 내 미량 존재하는 불순물($H_2O$, $O_2$ 등)과 반응하여 계면물질을 생성하며, 리튬염 및 유기용매 또한 일정 전위 범위(<1.5 V vs. $Li/Li^{+}$)에서 Al 집전체와 반응하였다. 특히 전해질내 존재하는 미량의 불순물로 인하여 고 전위에 노출된 Al 집전체의 국부부식이 진행되었다.

In recent years, electrochemical supercapacitors have attracted much attention due to their high power density, long life cycles, and high efficiency. Some supercapacitors using CNTs have been reported, but there are several issues to be resolved for further development of CNT based supercapacitors. One issue is time consuming procedures to prepare CNT films, which may provide poor control of CNT uniformity over the large area of the substrates. Another is new electrolytes replacing the conventional liquid electrolytes in supercapacitors. In this work, We have successfully demonstrated that spray deposition method of multiwalled CNT films using gel electroytes could be promising for CNT-based supercapacitors on ITO substrates. Specific capacitances using gel electrolyte reached up to 1.5 F/g and 9 mF/$cm^2$, and internal resistance was 28 ${\Omega}$. Specific capacitances and internal resistance of supercapacitors with gel electrolyte were better than or comparable to those with liquid electrolytes($KNO_3$, $Na_2SO_4$), indicating that gel electrolytes could replace liquid counterparts in CNT-based supercapacitors. Combined with gel electrolyte, spray deposition method could provide low cost and easily scalable process for high performance supercapacitors using CNT films on ITO for applications in display devices.

그물구조 다공성 금속을 황산과 황산구리 수용액을 전해질로 사용하여 전기화학적으로 제조하였으며, 이때 균질 전착에 영향을 미치는 구리이온 농도에 대해 살펴보았다. 전해질 중의 황산에 대한 구리이온의 농도비가 감소하면 전해질의 점성이 감소하여 전기전도도의 향상을 가지고 오며, 분극도(polarizability)의 상승을 유발시켜 균일 전류밀도 분포력(throwing power)을 향상시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 그물구조 다공성 금속을 제조하기 위한 최적의 조건은 한계 전류밀도와 균일 전류밀도 분포력을 고려하여 결정되어야 하며, 인가전류가 $10mA/cm^2$일 때 0.2M $CuSO_4\cdot\;5H_2O+0.5\;H_2SO_4$임을 확인하였다.
