결정성 및 무정형 고분자 전해질의 이온전도 거동에 미치는 초임계 이산화탄소 (sc$CO_2$) 유체의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 본 연구는 폴리에테르 전해질의 이온전도도 향상에 관한 새로운 개념의 접근 방법이다. sc$CO_2$ 처리결과, 결정성 PEO 전해질의 경우 실온에서 100배 이상의, 무정형 PMEO 전해질은 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 30배 가까운 이온전도도의 상승을 나타내었다. 이는 고분자 매트릭스 내부로 $CO_2$ 분자가 침투함으로써 이온 분산효과로 캐리어 이온의 수를 증가시키고 가소화 효과로 인해 유리전이온도를 저하시켜 이온이동도를 향상시킨 결과이다.

Recently, a new type of solid oxide fuel cells has been developed employing extremely thin oxide electrolyte. These fuel cells are expected to operate at significantly reduced temperature compared to conventional solid oxide fuel cells. Accordingly, they may resolve the stability and material selection issues of high temperature fuel cells. Furthermore, they may eliminate the limitations of polymer membrane fuel cells whose operation temperature is under $100^{\circ}C$. In this paper, we review the electrolytes for intermediate temperature operation. Then, we discuss the current development of thin film solid oxide fuel cells that possibly operated at low temperatures.

The transport of reactant gas, electrons and protons at the three phase interfaces in the catalytic layers of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) in proton exchange, membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) must be optimized to provide efficient transport to and from the electrochemical reactions in the solid polymer electrolyte. The aim of reducing proton transport loss in the catalytic layer by increasing the volume of the conducting medium can be achieved by filling the voids in the layer with small-sized electrolytes, such as dendrimers. Generation 1.5 and 3.5 polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer electrolytes are well-controlled, nanometer-sized materials with many peripheral ionic exchange, -COOH groups and were used for this purpose in this study. The electrochemically active surface area of the deposited catalyst material was also investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and by analyzing the Pt-H oxidation peak. The performances of the fuel cells with added PAMAM dendrimers were found to be comparable to that of a fuel cell using MEA, although the Pt utilization was reduced by the adsorption of the dendrimers to the catalytic layer.

Flexible energy-storage devices (FESDs) have been studied and developed extensively over the last few years because of demands in various fields. Since electrochemical performance and mechanical flexibility must be taken into account together, different framework from composition of conventional energy-storage devices (ESDs) is required. Numerous types of electrodes have been proposed to implement the FESDs. Herein, we review the works related to the FESDs so far and focus on free-standing electrodes and, especially substrate-based ones. The way to utilize carbon woven fabric (CF) or carbon cloth (CC) as flexible substrates is quite simple and intuitive. However, it is meaningful in the point of that the framework exploiting CF or CC can be extended to other applications resulting in multifunctional composites. Therefore, summary, which is on utilization of carbon-based material and conductive substrate containing CF and CC for ESDs, turns out to be helpful for other researchers to have crude concepts to get into energy-storage multi-functional composite. Moreover, polymer electrolytes are briefly explored as well because safety is one of the most important issues in FESDs and the electrolyte part mainly includes difficult obstacles to overcome. Lastly, we suggest some points that need to be further improved and studied for FESDs.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. This paper describes effects of plasticizer addition and temperature dependence of conductivity of these PEO electrolytes. Adding propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate to PEO-LiClO$_4$electrolyte, its conductivity was higher than PEO-LiClO$_4$ itself. Steady state current method and AC impedance used for the determination of transference number in PEO electrolyte film. The transference number of PEO$\_$8/LiClO$_4$PC$\_$5/EC$\_$5/ polymer electrolyte film is 0.45 at 60$^{\circ}C$.

The lithium polymer battery with polymer electrolyte is expected as a safe and long cycle life battery. This paper reports primarily the recent development results of a solid polymer electrolyte, which is a key point of the secondary battery system. The new type of polymer electrolyte was prepared under a dry Ar atmosphere by dissolving $LiCIO_4$ in a matrix of EC, PC and then dispersing polyacrylonitrile(PAN). Also adding some inorganic filler $Al_2O_3$. The dispersed solution heated at $120^{\circ}C$. The polymer electrolyte were characterized by EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), TGA(Thermo Gravimetric analysis), DMA(Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The lithium ion yield is 0.29 when PAN-$Al_2O_3$ which was applied DC 5mV. The ionic conductivity of PAN, PAN-$Al_2O_3$ polymer electrolytes were showed $1.0{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$, $8.4{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$ at room temperature. When inorganic filler was added in the polymer electrolyte, ionic conductivity and lithium yield more larger than without inorganic filler.

The lithium ion concentration dependant ionic conductivity and thermal properties of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA)/acrylonitrile-based copolymer electrolytes with $LiClO_4$ have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and AC complex impedance measurements. In systems with 11 wt% of acrylonitrile all liquid electrolytes were obtained regardless of lithium ion concentration. Complex impedance measurements with stainless steel electrodes give ambient ionic conductivities $8.1\times10^{-6}\sim1.4\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$. On the other hand, a hard and soft films at ambient temperature were obtained in copolymer electrolyte system consists of 15 wt% acrylonitrile with 6 : 1 and 3 : 1 of [EO] : [Li] ratio, respectively. DSC measurements indicate the crystalline melting temperature of poly(PEGMA) disappeared completely after addition of $LiClO_4$ in this system due to the complex formation between ethylene oxide (EO) unit and lithium salt. As a result, free standing film with room temperature ionic conductivity of $1.7\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$ and high electrochemical stability up to 5.5V was obtained by controlling of acrylonitrile and lithium salt concentration.

전해액 상용성의 boron trifluoride lithium methacrylate ($BF_3$LiMA)를 기본으로 하는 겔 고분자 전해질 (gel polymer electrolytes, GPE)에서 $BF_3$LiMA의 농도가 이온전도도, 전기화학적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 AC impedance 측정법과 linear sweep voltammetry (LSV)를 통하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 $BF_3$LiMA가 4wt% (고분자함량 21 wt%)일 때, 상온 이온전도도가 $5.3{\times}10^{-4}Scm^{-1}$로서 가장 높게 관찰되었으며 4 wt% 전후로 다시 감소하였다. $BF_3$LiMA 기반의 GPE는 음이온이 고정되어 있는 자기-도핑형 계열로서 우수한 전기화학적 안정성을 확인하였다. 한편 $BF_3$LiMA 기반 GPE는 리튬금속과 비교적 불안정한 계면반응성을 보여주었지만 흑연/GPE/흑연, LCO/GPE/LCO에서는 높은 계면안정성을 형성하였다. 따라서 $BF_3$LiMA 기반의 GPE를 통하여 높은 상온 이온전도도와 전기화학적 안정성 및 흑연과 LCO 양극산화물에 대한 우수한 계면특성을 확보할 수 있었다.

염료감응형 태양전지를 위한 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였다. 고분자물질로는 Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)를 사용하였으며, 가소제로서 poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)를 첨가하였고, 전해질염 및 $I^-/{I_3}^-$의 공급원으로서 KI 및 $I_2$를 첨가하여 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였으며, 이와 같은 고분자 전해질막을 바탕으로 염료감응형 태양전지를 제조하였다. 고분자 전해질 내의 가소제로서의 PEG 함량은 0%에서 85%의 범위로 변화하였다. 이러한 PEG 함량 전 구간에서 고분자 전해질막은 그 형태를 자체적으로 유지하는(self supporting) 완벽한 고체 전해질막의 형태로 제조되었다. PEG 함량이 증가하면서 전해질막을 통한 이온전도도와 ${I_3}^-$ 이온의 확산도계수는 증가하였다. 염료감응형 태양전지에 있어서는 고분자 전해질막 내의 PEG 함량이 증가하면서 그 효율이 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.
