Abstract

We developed a coin cell battery using high-strength carbon fiber and glass fiber, taking a preliminary step toward creating a battery that supports structural loads and stores energy, with potential applications in satellite structures. High-strength fiber-based electrodes and electrolytes were fabricated and applied to coin cells to evaluate their electrochemical performance. Consequently, the discharge capacities under continuous charge/discharge cycles and high discharge rates of 2 C-rate were determined to be 122.9 and 103.5 mAh/g, respectively, indicating that high-strength fibers can replace conventional battery components. Although current performance is lower than that of commercial batteries, this research has demonstrated significant potential as foundational work for multi-functional energy storage devices and is expected to contribute to the development of structural batteries for satellite applications.

본 연구에서는 향후 위성 구조체 적용을 위해 하중 지지와 에너지 저장을 동시에 수행하는 전지를 개발하기 위한 사전 연구로서 고강도 탄소 섬유와 유리 섬유를 이용한 코인 셀 전지를 제작하였다. 전도성 고분자가 증착된 섬유 기반 전극과 전해질을 제작하고, 코인 셀에 적용시켜 전기화학적 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 연속 충·방전과 고방전율(2 C-rate)에 따른 방전 용량은 각각의 122.9, 103.5 mAh/g이 도출되어 고강도 섬유가 기존의 전지 요소를 대체할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 상용 전지 대비 낮은 수준이지만 다기능성 에너지 저장장치의 구현을 위한 기초 연구로서 유의미한 결과를 보여주었으며, 향후 인공위성용 구조전지 개발에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.
