An investigation upon the characterization of MCMB anodes with different vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) content for application in lithium polymer battery(LPB) was carried out. When VGCF material was used as conducting agent with MCMB active material, the impedance and the initial coulombic efficiency of test cells were found to decrease with the increasing amount of VGCF. On the other hand, as a function of added VGCF the discharge capacity and the utilization linearly with increased. Impedance of test cell with MCMB anode containing $6wt\%$ VGCF exhibited the lowest value whereas the impedance of $8wt\%$ VUF contained anode was similar to that of MCMB anode without VGCF. Interestingly, $6wt\%$ VUF contained anode showed the best battery characteristics. Internal resistance and rate capacity of the cell were. respectively, $0.918{\Omega}\;at\;25C\;and\;93\%$ at 2C. Generally, rate capability and the cycleability of MCMB based test cells with $4\~6wt\%$ VGCF content exhibited better results than the other cells. In the case of $6wt\%$ VGCF containing anode, the discharge capacity of the cell faded slowly with an ultimate charge-discharge cycling capacity of 178mAh/g at the 100th cycle. Thereafter, the discharge capacity faded negligibly and the utilization of the cell at the 100th cycle was more than $90\%$. The effect of addition of VGCF is discussed in detail.

최근 들어 이동통근의 발달로 말미암아 이에 적합한 초경량, 초소형 전지의 개발이 요구된 Li은 지구상에 존재하는 흔한금속이며 그 환원 전위가 3.04V고 금속 중 가장 큰 전위값을 갖고 있다. 현재 상업화되어 있는 리튬이차전지는 정극에 대부분 LiCoO$_2$을 부극에 탄소재료를 사용하고 있다. (중략)

페트롤리엄 피치와 콜타르 피치를 열분해하여 제조한 카본을 리튬이차전지용 부극재료로 사용한 반쪽전지를 제작하여 전극의 충방전 용량 및 cycle 특성, 카본의 열처리 온도와 용량과의 관계에 대하여 고찰하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 초기 충방전 용량은 콜타르 피치 카본의 경우 현저한 증가를 보였으며 페트롤리엄 피치 카본에서는 지속적인 증가를 보이다가 100$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도부터는 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 충방전 횟수가 증가할수록 충전용량은 감소하지만, 가역특성(reversibility)은 90% 이상으로 향상되었다.

We have studied to find the optimum electrolyte that satisfied high ionic conductivity, large elec-trochemical window, etc in Li-ion battery. And also studied were the effect of a passive film on carbon anode surface,which is formed by solvent decomposition during the initial charge process. Electrochemical properties of the passive film formed on carbon anode surface investigated and explained as the volumetric ratio of the mixed solvents. The results of scanning electron microscopy, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy revealed that the electrochemical properties of the passive film were varied with the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte including the mixed solvents.

K-GIC of the new carbon electrode to improve performance of carbon negative electrode in lithium ion secondary battery was prepated and its electrical characteristics were studied. Form this study, intercalated K quantity was increased in order of $2>3>1mole/{\ell}$ of KCl solution. And, for KCl solution of 1mole, the mole ratio of carbon and potassium was 156~388 carbon/potassium. The proper condition of K-GIC preparation was KCl solution of $1mole/{\ell}$, reaction temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 1 hour. From this condition, the intercalation and deintercalation behavior of lithium was very excellent. Also the reversibility was excellent.

Li-ion cells employ lithium transtion metal oxide as the cathode material and carbon as anode material. To manufacture Li-ion cell with higher capacity and better cycle life, the utilization of electrode materials should be as high as possible without lithium deposition onto the carbon surface during charging. A careful design of cell balance between cathode and anode materials as well as a proper charge method is a key factor to design Li-ion cell with long cycle life. In this study, we investigated the effect of cathode/anode weight ratio on the performance of $LiCoO_2/MPCF$ cell. First we evaluated the charge-discharge behaviours of half-cells. And cylindrical Li-ion cells were fabricated using graphitized MPCF anode and $LiCoO_2$ cathode. The voltage profiles for each half-cell in $LiCoO_2/MPCF$ cell were measured by using lithium metal as a reference electrode. Also, we evaluated the cyclic performance of $LiCoO_2/MPCF$ cells according to weight ratio. From the result of experiment $LiCoO_2$ cathode utilization was independent of weight ratio, but MPCF anode utilization was dependant on weight ratio. Also, the optimal weight ratio of $LiCoO_2/MPCF$ cell was found to be $2.0\~2.2$.
