Abstract

The discharged products of Li-$O_2$ and Na-$O_2$ batteries using ether-based electrolyte as next-generation battery system were analyzed. The morphology of the discharged products showed millet-like shape in the both battery systems by FESEM. However, the discharged product, $Li_2O_2$ showed amorphous-like form in the Li-$O_2$ cell while crystalline $NaO_2$ is formed in the Na-$O_2$ cell when confirmed by X-ray diffraction. In this work, we comprehended a principle operating mechanism of Li-$O_2$ and Na-$O_2$ battery.

차세대 이차전지로서 주목받고 있는 리튬-공기 전지와 소듐-공기 전지를 에테류계 전해질을 이용하였을 시 방전 후 생성물을 분석 하였다. FESEM을 통하여 확인한 결과 리튬-공기 전지와 소듐-전지의 방전 후 생성된 입자의 형태는 좁쌀 모양을 보였으며, 두 전지 시스템에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 하지만 XRD를 통하여 확인 하였을 시 리튬-공기 전지는 비정질 형태의 $Li_2O_2$ 그리고 소듐-공기에서는 결정질의 $NaO_2$가 생성되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 차세대 전지 시스템으로 주목받고 있는 리튬-공기 전지와 소듐-공기 전지의 기본적인 구동 원리를 이해할 수 있었다.
