  • Generally, the high energy lithium ion batteries depend intimately on the high capacity of electrode materials. For anode materials, the capacity of commercial graphite is unlike to increase much further due to its lower theoretical capacity of 372 mAhg-1. To improve upon graphite-based negative electrode materials for Li-ion rechargeable batteries, alternative anode materials with higher capacity are needed. Therefore, some metal anodes with high theoretic capacity, such as Si, Sn, Ge, Al, and Sb have been studied extensively. This work focuses on ternary Si-M1-M2 composite system, where M1 is Ge that alloys with Li, which has good cyclability and high specific capacity and M2 is Mo that does not alloy with Li. The Si shows the highest gravimetric capacity (up to 4000mAhg-1 for Li21Si5). Although Si is the most promising of the next generation anodes, it undergoes a large volume change during lithium insertion and extraction. It results in pulverization of the Si and loss of electrical contact between the Si and the current collector during the lithiation and delithiation. Thus, its capacity fades rapidly during cycling. Si thin film is more resistant to fracture than bulk Si because the film is firmly attached to the substrate. Thus, Si film could achieve good cycleability as well as high capacity. To improve the cycle performance of Si, Suzuki et al. prepared two components active (Si)-active(Sn, like Ge) elements film by vacuum deposition, where Sn particles dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix. This film showed excellent rate capability than pure Si thin film. In this work, second element, Ge shows also high capacity (about 2500mAhg-1 for Li21Ge5) and has good cyclability although it undergoes a large volume change likewise Si. But only Ge does not use the anode due to its costs. Therefore, the electrode should be consisted of moderately Ge contents. Third element, Mo is an element that does not alloys with Li such as Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, V, Zr. In our previous research work, we have fabricated Si-Mo (active-inactive elements) composite negative electrodes by using RF/DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrodes showed excellent cycle characteristics. The Mo-silicide (inert matrix) dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix and prevents the active material from aggregating. However, the thicker film than $3\;{\mu}m$ with high Mo contents showed poor cycling performance, which was attributed to the internal stress related to thickness. In order to deal with the large volume expansion of Si anode, great efforts were paid on material design. One of the effective ways is to find suitably three-elements (Si-Ge-Mo) contents. In this study, the Si based composites of 45~65 Si at.% and 23~43 Ge at.%, and 12~32 Mo at.% are evaluated the electrochemical characteristics and cycle performances as an anode. Results from six different compositions of Si-Ge-Mo are presented compared to only the Si and Ge negative electrodes.

  • In this work, the magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composites for lithium secondary battery were prepared. Nano-$Fe_3O_4$ was deposited by chemical coprecipitation of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ in the presence of MWNTs in alkaline solutions. Transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated that nano-$Fe_3O_4$ particles had a good crystallinity of cubic specimens and many tiny particles attached on the surfaces of the MWNTs. The electrochemical properties of $Fe_3O_4$/MWNTs composites as anodes in lithium-secondary batteries were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge techniques. The as-prepared $Fe_3O_4$/MWNTs composites showed an initial lithium storage capacity of 1120 mAh/g and a reversible capacity of 394 mAh/g after 100 cycles, demonstrating better performance than that of the commercial graphite anode materials.

  • Electrochemical performance of Li-ion cells with $LiMn_2O_4$ cathodes and graphite anodes with carbonates electrolytes containing quaternary ammonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) is investigated. Eight different ILs based on tetraalkylammonium, pyrrolidinium or piperidinium cations paired with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate anions are examined in combination with dimethyl carbonate as a main solvent and fluoroethylene carbonate as a solid electrolyte interface forming agent. It is shown that cycling properties of the cells are strongly affected by the content of ILs in the electrolyte mixtures and its increase corresponds to lower discharge capacity retention. Since viscosity and conductivity of ILs are of a great importance for the electrolytes formulation, some kind of combined parameter should be used for the assessment of IL applicability and calculated values of Walden products for neat ILs represent one of the possible options. Besides, positive effect of ILs on reduction of flammability and enhancement of thermal stability of electrolytes in contact with charged electrodes have been demonstrated by means of self-extinguishing time test and differential scanning calorimetry respectively.

  • The inverse spinel Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4, CFO) is considered to be a promising alternative to commercial graphite anodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the further development of CFO is limited by its unstable structure during battery cycling and low electrical conductivity. In an effort to address the challenge, we construct three-dimensional hierarchical flower-like CFO nanoclusters (CFO NCs)-decorated carbonized cotton carbon fiber (CFO NCs/CCF) composite. This structure is consisted of microfibers and nanoflower cluster composited of CFO nanoparticle, in which CCF can be used as a long-range conductive matrix, while flower-like CFO NCs can provide abundant active sites, large electrode/electrolyte interface, short lithium ion diffusion path, and alleviated structural stress. As anode materials in LIBs, the flower-like CFO NCs/CCF exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. After 100 cycles at a current density of 0.3 A g-1, the CFO NCs/CCF delivers a discharge/charge capacity of 1008/990 mAh g-1. Even at a high current density of 15 A g-1, it still maintains a charge/discharge capacity of 362/361 mAh g-1.

  • 팽창흑연과 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 산화전극을 CTP에 Ni을 혼합한 결합제로 제작하였으며, 산화전극에 CTP와 Ni을 혼합한 결합제와 Nafion 결합제를 대조구로 미생물연료전지의 성능에 미치는 영향을 회분식 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 산화전극 제작에 사용된 CTP 양이 적을수록, Ni 함량이 증가할수록 산화전극 표면에 부착성장한 미생물량이 증가하였으며, 내부저항이 감소하였다. CTP 4 g과 Ni 0.2 g을 혼합한 결합제로 제작한 산화전극의 경우 최대전력밀도는 $731.8mW/m^2$, 내부저항은 $146.19{\Omega}$이다. 대조구인 Nafion결합제로 제작한 산화전극와 비교하여 최대전력밀도는 23.68% 컸으며, 내부저항은 33.82% 낮았다. 따라서, CTP와 Ni을 혼합한 물질은 저렴하고 효율이 높은 미생물연료전지의 산화전극결합제로서 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다.

  • 본 연구에서는 흑연섬유직물로 이루어진 산화전극의 표면을 하이드로젤 및 하이드로젤과 다중벽탄소나노튜브 복합체를 이용하여 표면을 개질하였다. 개질된 산화전극이 미생물연료전지의 성능향상에 미치는 영향을 회분식 시스템을 이용하여 평가하였으며, 개질하지 않은 흑연섬유직물 및 흑연펠트 산화전극과 비교하였다. 미생물연료전지의 전력밀도는 산화전극 및 환원전극의 성능에 크게 영향을 받았다. 최대전력밀도는 하이드로젤과 다중벽탄소나노튜브 복합체로 흑연섬유직물 표면을 개질한 산화전극을 사용한 경우 $1,162mW/m^2$로서 표면개질을 하지 않은 흑연섬유직물 산환전극을 사용한 미생물연료전지에 비하여 27.7% 향상되었다. 산화전극 표면을 개질에 사용된 하이드로젤과 다중벽탄소나노튜브 복합체는 산화전극 표면의 생물친화도와 전도성을 증가시키고 활성화저항을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 우수한 표면개질제로 평가되었다.

  • 실리콘은 상용 흑연(Graphite, Gr) 음극재 대비 약 10배 정도 높은 이론용량을 가지나 전기전도도가 낮고 충·방전 시 큰 부피변화로 수명이 짧은 문제가 있다. 실리콘의 문제점 해결 방안으로 전도성 탄소와 복합체 형성과정에서 실리카 나노입자 템플레이트를 이용해 복합체 내부에 이중 중공을 갖는 실리콘 나노입자/중공탄소(SiNP/HC) 소재를 제조하였다. 비교를 위해 중공을 갖지 않는 SiNP/C 복합체를 제조하여 SiNP/HC 복합체와의 물리·화학적 특성과 음극소재로서의 전기화학적 특성을 X-ray 회절기, X-선 광전자 분광기, 비표면적과 기공분포 분석을 위한 질소 흡/탈착 실험, 주사형 전자현미경 및 투과형 전자현미경으로 비교·분석하였다. SiNP/C 복합체 대비 SiNP/HC는 사이클 후에도 전극의 큰 부피변화 없이 월등히 우수한 수명특성과 효율을 보였다. 흑연과 혼합한 하이브리드형 SiNP/HC@Gr 복합체는 SiNP/HC와 비교해 낮은 용량에서 더욱 개선된 수명 특성과 효율을 보였다. 따라서 복합체 내부에 실리콘의 부피팽창을 수용하는 중공을 갖는 실리콘/탄소 복합체를 설계하는 것이 수명특성 확보에 유효함을 확인하였다. 복합체 내부에 많은 중공의 존재로 비표면적이 커서 과도한 SEI층 형성에 따른 낮은 초기 효율의 문제점이 있으므로 이에 대한 보완 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is one of the most important rechargeable battery and portable energy storage for the electric digital devices. In particular, study about the higher energy capacity and longer cycle life is intensively studied because of applications in mobile electronics and electric vehicles. Generally, the LIB's capacity can be improved by replacing anode materials with high capacitance. The graphite, common anode materials, has a good cyclability but shows limitations of capacity (~374 mAh/g). On the contrary, silicon (Si) and germanium(Ge), which is same group elements, are promising candidate for high-performance LIB electrodes because it has a higher theoretical specific capacity. (Si:4200 mAh/g, Ge:1600 mAh/g) However, it is well known that Si volume change by 400% upon full lithiation (lithium insertion into Si), which result in a mechanical pulverization and poor capacity retention during cycling. Therefore, variety of nanostructure group IV elements, including nanoparticles, nanowires, and hollow nanospheres, can be promising solution about the critical issues associated with the large volume change. However, the fundamental research about correlation between the composition and structure for LIB anode is not studied yet. Herein, we successfully synthesized various structure of nanowire such as Si-Ge, Ge-Carbon and Si-graphene core-shell types and analyzed the properties of LIB. Nanowires (NWs) were grown on stainless steel substrates using Au catalyst via VLS (Vapor Liquid Solid) mechanism. And, core-shell NWs were grown by VS (Vapor-Solid) process on the surface of NWs. In order to characterize it, we used FE-SEM, HR-TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. We measured battery property of various nanostructures for checking the capacity and cyclability by cell-tester.

  • The carbonaceous materials have attracted much attention for utilization of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, hollow carbon spheres have great advantages (high specific capacity and good rate capability) to replace currently used graphite anode materials, due to their unique features such as high surface areas, high electrical conductivities, and outstanding chemical and thermal stability. Herein, we have synthesized various sizes of hollow carbon spheres by a facile hardtemplate method and investigated the anode properties for lithium-ion batteries. The obtained hollow carbon spheres have uniform diameters of 350 ~ 600 nm by varying the template condition, and they do not have any cracks after the optimization of the process. Increasing the diameter of hollow carbon spheres decreases their specific capacities, since the larger hollow carbon spheres have more useless spaces inside that could have a disadvantage for lithium storage. The hollow carbon spheres have outstanding rate and cyclic performance, which is originated from the high surface area and high electrical properties of the hollow carbon spheres. Therefore, hollow carbon spheres with smaller diameters are expected to have higher specific capacities, and the noble channel structures through various doping approaches can give the great possibility of high lithium storage properties.
