Carbon-coated sodium iron pyrophosphate ($Na_2FeP_2O_7$) was prepared by a simple and low-cost pyro-synthesis route for further use as the cathode for Na-ion batteries. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the sample annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ confirmed the pure triclinic phase of $Na_2FeP_2O_7$. Electron microscopy studies revealed a cross linked plate shape morphology of the $Na_2FeP_2O_7$ sample. When tested for application in Na-ion battery, the $Na_2FeP_2O_7$ cathode showed two redox pairs in the potential window of 2.0-4.0 V. The cathode registered initial discharge and charge capacities of 80.85 and 90 mAh/g, respectively, with good cycling performance.

Petroleum pitch and coke with wet mixture method or with dry mixture method were investigated to develop the composite anodic carbon material of high power lithium ion battery. Cokes coated with pitch were obtained by the heat treatment of mixture of cokes and pitch with different weight ratios at $800{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$. The charge and discharge characteristic of the consequent composite anodic carbon material assembled in batteries was tested. Cokes with wet mixture method have a smooth surface and their capacity changed little with changing temperature and content as compared to the cokes with dry mixture method. Although the reversible capacities showed different values by the anode manufacturing method, the composite anode with the mixture of 20 wt% of petroleum pitch and 80 wt% of coke showed the higher power capability and initial efficiency than the pitch based anode. However, the reversible capacity of the composite anode showed the reduced value as compared with the pitch based anode.

In this study, the hybrid electrodes, composed of the activated carbon powders and $LiCoO_{2}$ powders, were prepared as a cathode for the high-capacitance type hybrid capacitor, and the electrochemical properties of the hybrid electrodes were examined in terms of the weight composition and the milling time of $LiCoO_{2}$ powders. The specific volumetric capacities were increased with increasing of the composition of $LiCoO_{2}$ powders in the hybrid electrodes. On the other hand the coin cell capacitors, using the hybrid electrodes with $LiCoO_{2}$ poweders milled for 200 h, have exhibited the lower internal resistivities and the better capacity retention after 100 charge-discharge cycle than those of the coin cell capacitors using the hybrid electrodes with raw $LiCoO_{2}$ powders.

Purpose: Polymer capacitors are known to have very high reliability as compared with liquid electrolytic capacitors, but their capacity has been reported to decrease in charge and discharge at low temperature. The purpose of this study to clarify these characteristics. Methods: In order to clarify these characteristics, charging-discharging tests were carried out for 200 hours with three different capacities and at 5 different temperature from $5^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. Results: As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the capacity of the polymer capacitor was decreased with higher capacity and lower temperature. Conclusion: Such a failure phenomenon was caused by the shrinkage and expansion characteristics of the polymer used therein, it is presumed that this failure phenomenon is due to the complex pore structure made by etching.

Spinel $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ and $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn) powders were synthesized by solid-state method at $800^{\circ}C$ for 37h. Crystal structure and electrochemical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance to $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$. All cathode material showed spinel structure in X-ray diffraction. Ununiform distortion which calculated by (111) face and (222) face was almost constant in spite of the change of the kind and the substituting ratio of the metal cation in $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn). $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$ cell substituted $Mg^{+2}$ and $Zn^{+2}$ showed excellent discharge capacities than other cells, which it presented about 120mAh/g at the 1st cycle and about 73mAh/g at the 250th cycle, respectively. AC impedance of $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4/Li$ cells showed the similar resistance of about 65~110$\Omega$ before cycling.

V-Ti(V-rich) 수소저장합금을 기초(base)로 하여 2가지 타입(type)의 전극을 제조하였다. 첫째로 V-Ti 합금에 Ni 분말을 혼합하여 성형한 후 급속가열방법으로 소결하여 전극을 제조하였다. 둘째로 Ni을 V-Ti 합금과 합금화한 V-Ti-Ni 3원계 수소저장합금에 Ni, PTFE 분말을 혼합하여 냉간압축으로 성형하여 전극을 제조하였다. 이와같이 제조된 전극으로 싸이클에따른 충/방전 실험을 한 결과, 모든 전극에 있어 10싸이클 이내에 퇴화(degradation)가 일어났다. 충방전 실험후 전해질내의 조성분석결과 Ti에 비해 V이 많이 전해질 내에 용해되었으며 합금원소의 용해에 의한 표면 형상의 변화가 관찰되었고, 전극표면에 매우 passive 한 Ti-oxide($TiO_2$)가 형성되었다. Ti-oxide($TiO_2$)는 전기전도도가 매우 낮고, 수소에대한 확산계수(diffusivity)도 낮기때문에 전극표면에 형성된 $TiO_2$층은 충/방전 싸이클동안 방전용량을 크게 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.

유기이차전지가 가지고 있는 전극 내 낮은 접합력과 높은 계면저항의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 흑연 코팅 처리된 집전체를 사용하여 lithium terephthalate (LTA)전지의 전기화학적 특성 변화를 분석하였다. LTA 음극 활물질은 산의 이온 치환반응에 의하여 불순물 없이 합성되어 졌다. 막대 형태의 LTA 활물질로 제작된 전극과 흑연 코팅 처리된 집전체와의 접합특성은 SEM 단면과 EIS를 통하여 확인하였다. 흑연 코팅된 집전체를 사용한 LTA전지의 계면저항은 현저히 감소되었다. 순수한 금속 집전체 LTA 전지와 흑연 코팅 처리된 금속 기판 LTA 전지는 0.1C의 두 번째 사이클에서 107.6 mAh/g와 148.8 mAh/g의 방전 용량을 보인다. 흑연 코팅된 집전체를 사용한 LTA 전지는 순수한 LTA 전지에 비하여 우수한 수명 특성과 높은 방전 용량, 그리고 높은 고율 특성을 가진다.

충 방전 전압범위와 용량이 다른 두 고분자물질을 복합체로 만들어 전극에 사용하여 다른 전기화학적 현상과 용량증대 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 상대적으로 전압은 높으나 용량이 적은 polyaniline(PANI)과 전압은 낮으나 용량이 큰 poly[1,2]bis-thio[1,8]-naphthylidine(PTND)을 사용하여 두 물질의 복합체를 합성하였다. 먼저 PTND 고분자를 합성하고, 얻어진 PTND 고분자 표면위에 PANI를 합성하였다. 합성여부와 미세구조를 FT-IR, XPS, FE-SEM 및 FE-TEM을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 순환전압 전류법 측정과 충 방전 용량측정을 통하여 리튬이차전지 고분자 양극 활물질로서 전기화학적 성능을 측정하였다. 상온, 1.3~4.0 V 전압구간에서 PANI/PTND 복합체의 1, 5 그리고 10 사이클 후 방전용량은 167 mAh/g, 90 mAh/g 그리고 81 mAh/g로 측정되었고, 이것은 PANI만 사용한 전극(80, 67, 62 mAh/g)에 비해 10사이클 후 약 30% 용량이 향상된 것이다. 50 사이클 이후 PANI/PTND 복합체의 방전용량은 67 mAh/g로 측정되었다.

This study investigated the dependence of the various sputtering conditions (Ar pressure: $2{\sim}10\;mTorr$, Power: $50{\sim}150\;W$) and thickness ($50{\sim}1200\;nm$) of Si thin film on the electrochemical properties, microstructural properties and the capacity fading of a Si thin film anode. A Si layer and a Ti buffer layer were deposited on Copper foil by RF-magnetron sputtering. At 10 mTorr, the 50 W sample showed the best capacity of 3323 mAh/g, while the 100 W sample showed the best capacity retention of 91.7%, also at 10 mTorr. The initial capacities and capacity retention in the samples apart from the 50W sample at 10 mTorr were enhanced as the Ar pressure and power increased. This was considered to be related to the change of the microstructure and the surface morphology by various sputtering conditions. In addition, thinner Si film anodes showed better cycling performance. This phenomenon is caused by the structural stress and peeling off of the Si layer by the high volume change of Si during the charge/discharge process.

Through the electrostatic interaction between the poly-diallydimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) modified Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and $SnO_2$ suspension in 1mM $NaNo_3$ solution, MWNT-$SnO_2$ nanocomposites (MSC) for anode electrodes of a Li-ion battery were successfully fabricated by colloidal heterocoagulation method. TEM observation showed that most of the $SnO_2$ nanoparticles were uniformly deposited on the outside surface of the MWNT. Galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling tests showed that MSC anodes exhibited higher specific capacities than bare MWNT and better cyclability than unsupported nano-$SnO_2$ anodes. Also, after 20 cycles, the MSC anode fabricated by heterocoagulation method showed more stable cycle properties than the simply mixed MSC anode. These improved electrochemical properties are attributed to the MWNT, which adsorbs the mechanical stress induced from volume change and increasing electrical conductivity of the MSC anode, and suppresses the aggregation between the $SnO_2$ nanoparticles.
