Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the conductivity of $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$ by adding carbon source so that the discharge rate and cyclic properties were improved. Glucose and CNT were added to $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$ and the structure and electrochemical properties were studied. $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$, $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/C and $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/CNT were synthesised by solid state reaction using hydrogen reduction method at 600, 700, 800, $900^{\circ}C$. The cathode materials were assembled to coin cell type 2032 with Lithium metal as a counter electrode. The coin cell was galvanostatically evaluated in the voltage range of 3.0~4.8 V.

본 연구에서는 탄소를 첨가하여 $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$의 낮은 전기전도도를 개선시켜서 고율 방전특성, 충 방전 사이클 특성을 향상시키는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 탄소 첨가제로는 글루코스와 CNT (carbon nano tube)를 사용하였으며, 탄소의 첨가 여부와 탄소 원료의 종류에 따라 합성된 $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$의 구조적 그리고 전기화학적 특성에 대해 연구를 하였다. $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$와 $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/C의 $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/CNT의 합성방법으로는 고상법을 이용하였다. 합성된 물질을 수소환원방법을 통하여 600, 700, 800, $900^{\circ}C$에서 소성해주었다. 합성된 물질로 양극 집전판을 제작하여 상대전극을 리튬메탈로 한 Coin 2032 cell을 만들어 전기화학적 특성분석을 진행하였다. 전지테스트는 정전류법을 이용하여 3.0~4.8 V까지 충 방전 실험을 하였다.
