The novel urine-activated microbatteries have been successfully demonstrated. In this microbattery, a magnesium (Mg) layer and copper chloride (CuCl) in the filter paper are used as the anode and the cathode, respectively. A stack consisting of a Mg layer, CuCl-doped filter paper and a copper (Cu) layer sandwiched between two plastic layers is hot-pressed into the microbatteries at $100^{\circ}C$. The microbatteries can be activated by adding a droplet of human urine. The experimental results show that the microbattery can deliver a maximum voltage of 1.4 V and maximum power of 1.96 mW for the $1\;k{\Omega}$ load resistor.

We present high-voltage liquid-electrolyte microbatteries, inspired from the high-voltage generation mechanism of electric eels using serially connected multiple-cell arrays. In the microbatteries, we purge air into the electrolyte filled in a channel layer to isolate serially connected multiple cell arrays using three surface-tension valves (cell-front, outlet, and cell-end valves). Compared to the previous multi-cell stack or interconnection, present microbatteries provide a reduced multi-cell charging time. We have designed and characterized four different prototypes C1, C10, C20, and C40 having 1, 10, 20, and 40 cells, respectively. In the experimental study, the threshold pressures of cell-front, outlet, and cell-end valves were measured as $460{\pm}47$, $1,000{\pm}53$, and $2,800{\pm}170$ Pa, respectively. The average charging time for C40 was measured as $26.8{\pm}4.9$ seconds where the electrolyte and air flow-rates are 100 and $10{\mu}l/min$, respectively. Microbatteries showed the maximum voltage of 12 V (C40), the maximum power density of $110{\mu}W/cm^2$ (C40), and the maximum power capacity of $2.1{\mu}Ah/cm^2$ (C40). We also proposed a tapered-channel to remove the reaction gas from the cell chamber using a surface tension effect. The present microbatteries are applicable to high-voltage portable power devices.

박막전지의 제조공정 중 열처리 공정은 많은 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열처리 공정 없이 박막의 구조변화를 유발하는 바이어스 스퍼터링(Bias sputtering) 방법으로 $LiCoO_2$ 양극 활물질 박막을 제조하여 그 특성을 고찰하였다. 제조된 박막은 다양한 분석 방법을 이용하여 결정구조, 표면형상, 방전용량을 관찰하였다, 제조된 $LiCoO_2$양극활물질 박막 중 -50 V의 기판 바이어스 전압$(substrate\;bias\;voltage:\;V_b)$을 인가하여 제조된 $LiCoO_2$ 양극 활물질 박막에서 약 $60{\mu}Ah/cm^2{\mu}m.$의 초기 방전 용량을 가짐을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 열처리 공정 없이도 박막전지의 양극활물질로서 $LiCoO_2$ 박막을 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti electrode are used as an anode in thin-film lithium microbatteries is known to have high oxidation-reduction potential of 1.8 V (vs. $Li/Li^+$). It can prevent from dendrite growth of lithium during charging. The $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti electrode was prepared by anodizing at constant voltages for thin-film lithium microbatteries. The capacities of $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti anode prepared by anodizing at 10 V, 20 V and 30 V were observed to be $23.9{\mu}Ah\;cm^{-2}$, $43.1{\mu}Ah\;cm^{-2}$ and $74.0{\mu}Ah\;cm^{-2}$. We identified it was found that the capacity of $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti increases with increasing anodizing voltage and the anatase structure of $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti compared with amorphous structure has batter cycle performance than amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotube/Ti.

$LiCoO_{2}$ thin films have received attention as cathodes of thin film microbatteries in these days. In this study, $LiCoO_{2}$ thin films are fabricated by a sol-gel spin coating method followed by a post-annealing process. The thermal decomposition behaviour of precursor is investigated by TG/DTA analysis. The change of crystallinity, microstructure and electrochemical properties of final films as the drying temperature changes are also studied by XRD, SEM and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling test. The relationship between the discharge capacity and the drying temperature are intensively investigated in this work.

수소저장합금 전극을 이용하는 박막전지의 제조를 위하여, TiNi 수소저장합금박막의 적정제조조건에 대하여 연구하였다. TiNi합금박막은 직류 스퍼터링을 이용하여 제조하였다. 증착변수인 아르곤유속, 타겔-기판거리, 직류 전력량등을 변화시키면서, 증착속도를 조사하였으며, Ti와 Ni의 화학조성비, 결정구조등을 조사하였다. 증착속도는 아프곤유속, 타겔 기판거리와 반비례하였으며, 직류전력량의 증가에는 정비례하여 증가하였다. 상온에서 증착후에는 비정질구조를 나타냈으나, 진공열처리 후에 결정질로 바뀌었다.
