최근 리튬이차전지의 안전성을 향상시킨 전고체 전지가 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있으나 전도성 세라믹 또는 고체 고분자 전해질을 적용한 고체전지는 높은 계면 저항, 부반응 등과 같은 문제점을 지니고 있어 전기화학적 특성이 낮다. 기존 전고체 전지의 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 복합고체 전해질이 제안되었으며 본 연구에서는 나시콘 구조의 나노 입자 Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5P₃O₁₂ (LATP) 전도성 세라믹, PVdF-HFP, 카보네이티 기반 액체전해질을 복합화 하여 유사고체 전해질을 제작하였다. 이 복합고체 전해질은 5.6 V의 높은 전압 안전성을 가지며 리튬이온의 탈리-착리 테스트에서 리튬 금속전극의 덴드라이트 성장 억제 효과가 있음을 보여준다. 또한 복합고체 전해질을 적용한 LiNi_0.83Co_0.11Mn_0.06O₂ (NCM811)기반 전지에서 4.8 V의 높은 충전 종지 전압에도 241.5 mAh/g의 높은 방전 용량을 나타내며 안정적인 전기화학 반응이 일어난다. NCM811 기반 전지의 90도 충전-방전 중에도 전지의 단락이나 폭발 없이 139.4 mAh/g 방전 용량을 보인다. 따라서 LATP기반 복합고체 전해질은 리튬이차전지의 안전성과 전기화학적 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 알 수 있다.

Most portable mobile devices employ rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. This lithium-ion battery usually suffers from the possibility of explosion due to heat generation from surrounding atmosphere or internal deficiency during charging or at overuse. To solve these problems, most rechargeable batteries have a built-in protection circuit module (PCM). The resistance of a properly processed $VO_2$ critical temperature sensor (CTS) is changed dramatically at a critical temperature of around $68^{\circ}C$, which can replace some bi-metal, NTC, or PTC sensors embedded in PCM. Such $VO_2$ CTS consumes a very small current at the level of natural discharge. Experimental results showed that this CTS could be applied to a PCM as the PCM could protect the battery while keeping its power consumption at minimum.

To prepare the high-capacity cathode material with improved electrochemical performances, nanoparticles of $C0_3(PO_4)_2$ were coated on the powder surface of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$, which was already synthesized by simple combustion method. The coated powders after the heat treatment at >$700^{\circ}C$ surely showed well-structured crystalline property with nanoscale surface coating layer, which was consisted of $LiCOPO_4$ phase formed from the reaction bwtween $CO_3(PO_4)_2$ and lithium impurities. In addition, cycle performance was particularly improved by the $CO_3(PO_4)_2$-coating for the cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries.

Olivine structure of $LiFePO_4$ (LFP) is one of the most commonly used materials in aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries (ARLBs), and can store and release charge through the insertion/de-insertion of $Li^+$ between LFP and FP. We have fabricated LFP and LFP/FP electrodes on titanium paper and studied their electrochemical properties in 2 M $Li_2SO_4$. The LFP/FP electrode was determined to be a suitable electrode for electo-ostmotic pump (EOP) in terms of efficiency in water and 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution. Experiments to determine the effect of cations and anions on the performance of EOP using LFP/FP electrode have shown that $Li^+$ is the best cation and that the anion does not significantly affect the performance of the EOP. As the concentration of $Li_2SO_4$ solution was increased, the current increased. The flow rate peaked at $4.8{\mu}L/30s$ in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution and then decreased. When the EOP was tested continuously in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution, the EOP transported approximately 35 mL of fluid while maintaining a stable flow rate and current for 144 h.

Electron-beam 증발장치를 이용하여 리튬 박막 2차 전지 양극용 lithium cobalt oxide 박막을 제조하였다. Stainless steel -기판 위에 입혀진 $LiCoO_2$ 박막은 열처리 과정을 거쳐 잘 발달된 hexagonal 구조의 (003)면을 나타냈으며, 3.9 V 부근에서 전위 평탄 영역이 나타났다. $LiCoO_2$, 박막은 증착속도가 증가함에 따라 Li/co 조성비가 양론비에 근접하였으며, $15{\AA}/s$의 증착속도로 제작한 경우 높은 방전용량을 나타내었다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 용량이 증가하여 $700^{\circ}C$에서 최대 값을 나타내었으나, 그 이상의 온도에서는 기판과의 반응 때문에 방전용량이 현저히 감소하였다. 박막 내부의 리튬과 코발트의 불균일한 조성은 초기 방전용량의 감소를 가져왔다.

In aqueous rechargeable lithium ion batteries, $LiV_3O_8$ exhibits obviously enhanced electrochemical performance after $AlF_3$ surface modification owing to improved surface stability to fragile aqueous electrolyte. The cycle life of $LiV_3O_8$ is significantly enhanced by the presence of an $AlF_3$ coating at an optimal content of 1 wt.%. The results of powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements confirm that the electrochemical improvement can be attributed mainly to the presence of $AlF_3$ on the surface of $LiV_3O_8$. Furthermore, the $AlF_3$ coating significantly reduces vanadium ion dissolution and surface failure by stabilizing the surface of the $LiV_3O_8$ in an aqueous electrolyte solution. The results suggest that the $AlF_3$ coating can prevent the formation of unfavorable side reaction components and facilitate lithium ion diffusion, leading to reduced surface resistance and improved surface stability compared to bare $LiV_3O_8$ and affording enhanced electrochemical performance in aqueous electrolyte solutions.

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.

Recently $Li_{1.2}Ni_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}O_2$ has been consistently examined and investigated by scientists because of its high lithium storage capacity, which exceeds beyond the conventional theoretical capacity based on conventional chemical concepts. Consequently, $Li_{1.2}Ni_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}O_2$ is considered as one of the most promising cathode candidates for next generation in Li rechargeable batteries. Yet the mechanism and the origin of the overcapacity have not been clarified. Previously, many authors have demonstrated simultaneous oxygen evolution during the first delithiation. However, it may only explain the high capacity of the first charge process, and not of the subsequent cycles. In this work, we report a clarified interpretation of the structural evolution of $Li_{1.2}Ni_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}O_2$, which is the key element in understanding its anomalously high capacity. We identify how the structural evolution of $Li_{1.2}Ni_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}O_2$ occurs upon the electrochemical cycling through careful study of electrochemical profiles, ex-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), HR-TEM, Raman spectroscopy, and first principles calculation. Moreover, we successfully separated the structural change at subsequent cycles (mainly cation rearrangement) from the first charge process (mainly oxygen evolution with Li extraction) by intentionally synthesizing sample with large particle size. Consequently, the intermediate states of structural evolution could be well resolved. All observations made through various tools lead to the result that spinel-like cation arrangement and lithium environment are created and embedded in layered framework during repeated electrochemical cycling.

This paper describes the development of lithium rechargeable cell. $LiCoO_2$ is recently recognized as a suitable cathode active material of a high voltage, high energy lithium rechargeable batteries because $Li^+$ ion can be electrochemically deintercalated/intercalated from/to $Li_xCoO_2$. The transition metal oxide of $LiCoO_2$ was investigated for using as a cathode active material of 4V class Li rechargeable cell. $LiCoO_2$ cathode was prepared by using a active material of 85 wt%, graphite powder of 12 wt% as a conductor and poly-vinylidene fluoride of 3 wt% as a binder. The electrochemical and charge/discharge properties of $LiCoO_2$ were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge. The open circuit voltage of prepared $LiCoO_2$ electrode exhibited approximately. potential range between 3.32V and 3.42V. During the galvanostatic charge/discharge, $LiCoO_2/Li$ cell showed stable cycling behavior at scan rate of 1mV/sec and potential range between 3.6V and 4.2V. Also its coulombic efficiency as function of cycling was 81%~102%. In this study the $LiCoO_2/Li$ cell showed the available discharge capacity of 90.1 mAh/g at current density of $1mA/cm^2$ and cell discharge voltage range between 3.6V~4.2V.
