In this paper, we report on a study of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces of MCMB/$LiCoO_2$ cell using Ion-chromatography. The cells for the experiments were preconditioned by cycling three times and stabilized at OCV of 3.0V 4.35V and 4.5V. The stabilized cathode electrode was used for surface characterization investigations. Concerning the $LiCoO_2$/electrolyte interfaces, the result obtained have shown the presence of $F^-\;and\;CO_3^{2-}$ on the surface of cathode electrode as well as increasing the concentration of ions as cell voltage increase.

This study investigates the viability of using a Na-ion battery with a tin(Sn) anode to mitigate the vulnerability caused by volume changes during discharge and charge cycling. In general, the volume changes of carbon material do not cause any instability during intercalation into its layer structure. Sn has a high theoretical capacity of $847mAh\;g^{-1}$. However, it expands dramatically in the discharge process by alloying Na-Sn, placing the electrode under massive internal stress, and particularly straining the binder over the elastic limit. The repeating strain results in loss of active material and its electric contact, as well as capacity decrease. This paper expands the scope of fabrication of Na-ion batteries with Sn by fabricating the binder as an auxetic structure with a unique feature: a negative Poisson ratio (NPR), which increases the resistance to internal stress in the Na-Sn alloying/de-alloying processes. Electrochemical tests and micrograph images of auxetic and common binders are used to compare dimensional and structural differences. Results show that the capacity of an auxetic-structured Sn electrode is much larger than that of a Sn electrode with a common-structured binder. Furthermore, using an auxetic structured Sn electrode, stability in discharge and charge cycling is obtained.

$M_2GeO_4$ (M = Co, Fe and Ni) was synthesized as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries and its electrochemical characteristics were investigated. The $Fe_2GeO_4$ electrode exhibited an initial discharge capacity of $1127.8mAh\;g^{-1}$ and better capacity retention than $Co_2GeO_4$ and $Ni_2GeO_4$. A diffusion coefficient of lithium ion in the $Fe_2GeO_4$ electrode was measured to be $12.7{\times}10^{-8}cm^2s^{-1}$, which was higher than those of the other two electrodes. The electrochemical performance of the $Fe_2GeO_4$ electrode was improved by coating carbon onto the surface of $Fe_2GeO_4$ particles. The carbon-coated $Fe_2GeO_4$ electrode delivered a high initial discharge capacity of $1144.9mAh\;g^{-1}$ with good capacity retention. The enhanced cycling performance was mainly attributed to the carbon-coated layer that accommodates the volume change of the active materials and improves the electronic conductivity. Our results demonstrate that the carbon-coated $Fe_2GeO_4$ can be a promising anode material for achieving high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Silicone rubber-based sodium-selective membranes are developed for solid-state ion sensors. It was shown that the potetiometric performance of SR-based membranes are greatly dependent on the type of neutral carriers employed; among the three ionophores, N,N,N',N'-tetracyclohexyl-1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetamide (ETH 2120), bis[(12-crown-4)methyl]dodecylmethylmalonate (D12C4DMM) and monensin methyl ester (MME), examined, only ETH 2120 was compatible with the SR-based matrix. Addition of about 20 wt% plasticizer to the SR-based matrix provided the resulting membranes with potentiometric properties essentially equivalent to those of the corresponding PVC-based membranes. Owing to the strong adhesive strength of SR-based membranes, the CWEs coated \vith those membranes exhibited long lifetime with conventional electrode-like performance. Blending of PU into the SR matrix increased the lifetime of CWEs from two weeks to one month.

Methods and systems to remove static electricity are requested in the field of industry because the static electricity causes a flammable gas explosion or fire and a reduction of production rate in manufacturing semiconductor devices and so on. This paper is a basic study about a new structure of electrode system to control the quantities of generated ions and to solve the problem of dust attachment to needle electrode. In addition, a new type field controlled electrostatic charge neutralizer was proposed, and it could control the electric field in the end of the needle electrode by controlling the voltage of the third electrode around the tip of the needle electrode. As aresult, it was possible to control the quantities of generated ion by controlling the electric field in the needle electrode with the third electrode, which shows the possibilities to solve the nonequilibrium of generated ions in ac power source and the problem of the dust in the needle electrode.

In this paper, we report the effects of temperature on the deterioration of graphite-based negative electrodes during the longterm cycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). After cycling 75 Ah pouch-type LIB full cells at temperatures of 45℃ (45-Cell) and 25℃ (25-Cell) until their end of life, we expected to observe changes in the negative electrode according to the temperature. The thickness of the negative electrode of the cell was greater after cycling; that of the electrode of 45-Cell (144 ㎛) was greater than that of the electrode of 25-Cell (109 ㎛). Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy analysis confirmed that by-products caused this increase in the thickness of the negative electrode. The by-products that formed on the surface of the negative electrode during cycling increased the surface resistance and decreased the electrical conductivity. Voltage profiles showed that the negative electrode of 25-Cell exhibited an 84.7% retention of the initial capacity, whereas that of 45-Cell showed only a 70.3% retention. The results of this study are expected to be relevant to future analyses of the deterioration characteristics of the negative electrode and battery deterioration mechanisms, and are also expected to provide basic data for advanced battery design.

In Li-ion batteries, a thick electrode is advantageous for lowering the inactive current collector portion and obtaining a high energy density. One of the critical failure mechanisms of thick electrodes is inhomogeneous lithiation and delithiation owing to the axial location of the electrode. In this study, it was confirmed that the top layer of the composite electrode contributes more to the charging step owing to the high ionic transport from the electrolyte. A high-loading multilayered electrode containing LiFePO₄ (LFP) and LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ (NCM811) was developed to overcome the inhomogeneous electrochemical reactions in the electrode. The electrode laminated with LFP on the top and NCM811 on the bottom showed superior cyclability compared to the electrode having the reverse stacking order or thoroughly mixed. This improvement is attributed to the structural and interfacial stability of LFP on top of the thick electrode in an electrochemically harsh environment.

액체막형 구리이온 선택성 전극의 제작과 전위차적정에의 응용을 연구하였다. 액체 이온교환막은 수용액속의 Cu(II)을 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol/nitrobenzene 용액 속으로 추출하여 만들었다. 액체 이온교환막 위에 HAc-NaAc 용액으로 완충된 $1.00 {\times} 10^{-3}M\;Cu(NO_3)_2$ 용액을 채우고 Ag/AgCl 내부 기준전극을 담그었다. 이 이온선택성 전극은 $1.00 {\times} 10^{-6}$ ~ $1.00 {\times} 10^{-3}$M Cu(II) 농도 범위에서 nerstian response를 보여주었다. 가장 적절한 이온교환체의 농도는 $1.00 {\times} 10^{-4}$M이었다. 여러가지 금속이온에 대한 이온선택성 전극의 선택계수를 측정하였다. EDTA를 적정제로 하여 Cu(II)에 대한 전위차적정에 응용하였다.

In this paper, we review about current development of electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and catalysts for fuel cells. We scrutinized various electrode materials for cathode and anode in Li-ion batteries, which include the materials currently being used in the industry and candidates with high energy density. While layered, spinel, olivine, and rock-salt type inorganic electrode materials were introduced as the cathode materials, the Li metal, graphite, Li-alloying metal, and oxide compound have been discussed for the application to the anode materials. In the development of fuel cell catalysts, the catalyst structures classified according to the catalyst composition and surface structure, such as Pt-based metal nanoparticles, non-Pt catalysts, and carbon-based materials, were discussed in detail. Moreover, various support materials used to maximize the active surface area of fuel cell catalysts were explained. New electrode materials and catalysts with both high electrochemical performance and stability can be developed based on the thorough understanding of earlier studied electrode materials and catalysts.
