In this work, polymerization conditions of the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) were studied to obtain better electrochemical performances in a lithium-ion polymer battery. When the polymerization temperature and time of the GPE were 70$^{\circ}C$ and 70 min, respectively, the lithium polymer battery showed excellent a rate capability and cycleability. The TMPETA (trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate)/TEGDMA (triethylene glycol dimethacrylate)-based cells prepared under optimized polymerization conditions showed excellent rate capability and low-temperature performances: The discharge capacity of cells at 2 Crate showed 92.1 % against 0.2C rate. The cell at -20 $^{\circ}C$ also delivered 82.4 % of the discharge capacity at room temperature.

This study examined the utility of two zwitterions, nitrile-functionalized zwitterions and a zwitterion without a nitrile group (MF-ZI), were used as additives along with 1 M $LiPF_6$ in ethylene carbonate (EC):diethylene carbonate (DEC) (3:7 V/V) (E-0) to form an electrolyte solution for use in lithium ion batteries comprising graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes. The presence of NF-ZI (E-NF-ZI) in the electrolyte produced an ion conductivity comparable to that of E-0 and higher than that of an electrolyte containing MF-ZI (E-MF-ZI). Linear sweep voltammetry data revealed that the intensity of the E-NF-ZI reduction peak was lower than that of E-0. Furthermore, the successful formation of an SEI layer in the E-NF-ZI over graphite was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry data. These results were attributed to the adsorption of NF-ZI on the electrode surface, as verified by differential capacity measurements.

In this study, we investigate the effect of the$Li_3BO_3$ additive on the densification and ionic conductivity of garnet-type $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}$ solid electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium batteries. We analyze their densification behavior with the addition of $Li_3BO_3$ in the range of 2-10 wt.% by dilatometer measurements and isothermal sintering. Dilatometry analysis reveals that the sintering of $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}-Li_3BO_3$ composites is characterized by two stages, resulting in two peaks, which show a significant dependence on the $Li_3BO_3$ additive content, in the shrinkage rate curves. Sintered density and total ion conductivity of the system increases with increasing $Li_3BO_3$ content. After sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 8 h, the $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}-8$ wt.% $Li_3BO_3$ composite shows a total ionic conductivity of $1.61{\times}10^{-5}Scm^{-1}$, while that of the pure $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}$ is only $5.98{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ (LTO)는 리튬이차전지용 음극활물질로써 충방전에 따른 체적변화가 매우 적고, 삽입과 탈리 반응에 따른 높은 가역성 때문에 수명 특성이 좋다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LTO의 단점인 낮은 전기전도도를 보완하고자 전도성이 좋은 탄소계열 소재인 그래핀과 CNT를 첨가 하였다. LTO입자가 나노 크기이므로, 그래핀이 LTO표면에 위치하여 전도성 향상을 시키기 어렵다고 생각했다. 따라서 추가로 CNT를 첨가시켜 LTO입자와 그래핀 사이에 전도성 네트워크를 형성하여, 그래핀만 첨가하였을 때 보다 전도성이 향상되었다. 또한 탄소물질의 첨가 시점을 LTO합성 전후로 나누어, 각각의 용량 및 수명특성의 효율을 비교해 보았다.

Nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) are increasingly prominent in the energy storage system due to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, they face significant challenges, such as rapid capacity fading and structural instability during high-voltage operation cycles. Addressing these issues, numerous researchers have studied the enhancement of electrochemical performance through the coating of NCM cathode materials with substances like metal oxides, lithium composites, and polymers. Coating these cathode materials serves several critical functions: it acts as a protection barrier against electrolyte decomposition, mitigates the dissolution of transition metals, enhances the structural integrity of the electrode, and can even improve the ionic conductivity of the cathode. Ultimately, these improvements lead to better cycle stability, increased efficiency, and enhanced overall battery life, which are crucial for the advancement of NCM-based lithium-ion batteries in high-demand applications. So, this paper will review various cathode coating materials and examine the roles each plays in improving battery performance.

In this study we have investigated the Li-ion coordination, thermal behavior and electrochemical stability of N-butyl-N-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ($Py_{14}TFSI$) with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfony)imide (LiTFSI) doping intended for use as electrolytes for lithium batteries. The ionic conductivity is reduced and glass transition temperature ($T_g$) increases with LiTFSI doping concentration. Also, the electrochemical stability increases with LiTFSI doping. A high LiTFSI doping could enhance the electrochemical stability of electrolytes for lithium batteries, whereas the decrease in the ionic conductivity limits the capacity of the battery.

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.

Graphene is a single atomic layer of carbon atoms, and has exceptional electrical, mechanical, and optical characteristics. It has been broadly utilized in the fields of material science, physics, chemistry, device fabrication, information, and biology. In this review paper, we briefly investigate the ideas, structure, characteristics, and fabrication techniques for graphene applications in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In LIBs, a constant three-dimensional (3D) conductive system can adequately enhance the transportation of electrons and ions of the electrode material. The use of 3D graphene and graphene-expansion electrode materials can significantly upgrade LIBs characteristics to give higher electric conductivity, greater capacity, and good stability. This review demonstrates several recent advances in graphene-containing LIB electrode materials, and addresses probable trends into the future.

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in various applications, including electric vehicles and portable electronics, due to their high energy density and long cycle life. The performance of lithium-ion batteries can be improved by using solid electrolytes, in terms of higher safety, stability, and energy density. Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5(PO₄)₃ (LATP) is a promising solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium batteries due to its high ionic conductivity and excellent stability. However, the ionic conductivity of LATP needs to be improved for commercializing all-solid-state lithium battery systems. In this study, we investigate the microstructures and ionic conductivities of LATP by incorporating B₂O₃ glass ceramics. The smaller grain size and narrow size distribution were obtained after the introduction of B₂O₃ in LATP, which is attributed to the B₂O₃ glass on grain boundaries of LATP. Moreover, higher ionic conductivity can be obtained after B₂O₃ incorporation, where the optimal composition is 0.1 wt% B₂O₃ incorporated LATP and the ionic conductivity reaches 8.8×10^-5 S/cm, more than 3 times higher value than pristine LATP. More research could be followed for having higher ionic conductivity and density by optimizing the processing conditions. This facile approach for establishing higher ionic conductivity in LATP solid electrolytes could accelerate the commercialization of all-solid-state lithium batteries.
