$SiO_x$ nanoparticles were granulated, and their microstructures and effects on electrochemical behaviors were investigated. In spite of the promising electrochemical performance of $SiO_x$, nanoparticles have limitations such as high surface area, low density, and difficulty in handling during slurry processing. Granulation can be one solution. In this study, pelletizing and annealing were conducted to create particles with sizes of several decades of micron. Decrease in surface area directly influences the initial charge and discharge process when granules are applied as anode materials for Li-ion batteries. Lower surface area is key to decreasing the amount of irreversible phase-formation, such as $Li_2Si_2O_5$, $Li_2SiO_3$ and $Li_4SiO_4$, as well as forming the solid electrolyte interface. Additionally, aggregation of nanoparticles is required to obtain further enhancement of the electrochemical behavior due to restrictions that there be no $Li_4SiO_4$-related reaction during the first discharge process.

리튬-황 전지의 기능성 중간층으로 그래핀과 Mo₂C/Mo₂N 나노입자로 구성된 나노섬유(Mo₂C/Mo₂N rGO NFs)를 사용하였다. Mo₂C/Mo₂N 나노입자는 섬유 구조 내 고르게 분산되어 리튬 폴리설파이드의 화학적 흡착을 위한 활성 사이트 역할을 함으로써 전해질로의 용출을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 또한 구조 내 매트릭스로 구성된 그래핀 나노시트는 충방전이 진행되는 동안 이온 및 전자의 빠른 이동을 보장할 뿐만 아니라 반응 시 산화/환원 반응을 원활하게 하여 높은 리튬 폴리설파이드의 재사용을 보장하였다. 그 결과 Mo₂C/Mo₂N rGO NFs로 코팅된 분리막을 기능성 중간층으로 사용, 순수 황 전극(황 함량 70 wt%, 황 로딩 2.1 mg cm^-2)으로 제작된 리튬-황 전지는 0.1 C에서 400회 충방전 후 476 mA h g^-1의 안정적인 방전 용량을 나타냈으며, 1.0 C의 높은 전류밀도에서도 574 mA h g^-1의 방전용량을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 나노구조체 합성 전략은 고성능 리튬-황 전지 용 기능성 중간층 및 다양한 에너지 저장 소재분야로의 확장이 가능하다.

An experimental study was presented for extinguishing characteristics of liquid fuel fire by water mist($Dv_{0.99}{\leq}200{\mu}m$) containing potassium acetate and sodium acetate trihydrate. To evaluate the extinguishing performance of water mist containing additives, the evaporation characteristics of a water droplet on a heated surface was examined. The evaporation process was recorded by a charge-coupled-device camera. Also, small-scale extinguishing tests were conducted for n-heptane pool fire in ventilated space. During the experiments, flame temperatures were measured, and concentrations of oxygen and carbon monoxide were analyzed by a combustion gas analyzer. The average evaporation rate of water droplet containing additives was lower than that of pure water at a given surface temperature and decreased with the concentration increase due to the precipitation of salt in the liquid-film and change of surface tension. In case of using additives, the fire extinguishing times was shorter than that of pure water at a given discharge pressure and it was because the momentum of a water droplet containing additives was increased. And also dissociated metal atoms, potassium or sodium, were reacted as a scavenger of the major radical species OH, H which were generated for combustion process. Moreover, at a high pressure of 4 MPa, the fire was extinguished through blowing effect as well as primary extinguishing mechanisms.

Novel characterization of thermal properties of a battery has been introduced by defining its frequency-dependent thermal impedance function. Thermal impedance function can be approximated as a thermal impedance spectrum by analyzing experimental temperature transient which is related to the thermal impedance function through Laplace transformation. In order to obtain temperature transient, a process has been devised to generate external heat pulse with heating wire and to measure the response of battery. This process is used to study several commercial Li-ion batteries of cylindrical type. The thermal impedance measurements have been performed using potentionstat/galvanostate controlled digital signal processor, which is more commonly available than flow-meter usually applied for thermal property measurements. Thermal impedance spectra obtained for batteries produced by different manufactures are found to differ considerably. Comparison of spectra at different states of charge indicates independence of thermal impedance on charging state of battery. It is shown that thermal impedance spectrum can be used to obtain simultaneously thermal capacity and thermal conductivity of battery by non-linear complex least-square fit of the spectrum to thermal impedance model. Obtained data is used to simulate a response of the battery to internal heating during discharge. It is found that temperature inside the battery is by one-third larger that on its surface. This observation has to be considered to prevent damage by overheating.

Through a simple filtration process, followed by carbonization within a reductive environment, coffee waste grounds can be transformed into a non-porous hard carbon for use in multiple contexts. This resulting coffee-waste carbon has been evaluated as an eco-friendly and cost-effective replacement for conventional graphite. When compared with different types of carbon, our study found that the coffee-waste carbon fell into the category of hard carbon, as verified from the galvanostatic charge/discharge profiles. The coffee-waste carbon showed a superior rate capability when compared to that of graphite, while compromising smaller capacity at low C rates. During electrochemical reactions, it was also found that the coffee-waste carbon is well exposed to electrolytes, and its disordered characteristic is advantageous for ionic transport which leads to the low tortuosity of Li ions. Finally, the high irreversible capacity (low initial Coulombic efficiency) of the coffee-waste carbon, which if also often observed in amorphous carbon, can be adequately resolved through a solution-based prelithiation process, thereby proving that the coffee-waste carbon material is quite suitable for commercial use as an anode material for quickly-chargeable electrodes.

This paper explains a DMFC-Lithium Battery hybrid system applied to a forklift. A conventional Lead Acid battery forklift has several problems: long charging times, short operation times, and frequent battery replacements. As a result, hydrogen-powered forklifts are replacing Lead acid battery-powered forklifts due to their shorter refueling time and longer operation times. However, in doing so, we are confronted with the problem of a high hydrogen refueling infrastructure. A Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC), on the other hand, is an eco-friendly generator that directly converts the chemical energy of methanol into electricity. In general, DMFC is regarded as a small power generator under kW power. In this paper, a DMFC-Battery hybrid system is applied to a 1.5 ton forklift by increasing the power output of the DMFC stack and utilizing the high charge-discharge characteristics of a lithium battery.

본 연구에서는 유기물인 메틸 바이올로겐(methyl viologen, MV)과 템폴(4-hydroxy-TEMPO, TEMPOL)을 활물질로 사용하고 NaCl의 중성 전해질 기반 수계 유기 레독스 흐름전지 성능이 멤브레인에 따라 어떻게 영향을 받는지 분석하였다. 메틸 바이올로겐(MV)과 템폴(TEMPOL)은 중성 전해질인 염화나트륨(NaCl) 전해질에 대해 높은 셀전압(1.37 V)을 얻을 수 있다. 성능 비교를 위해 사용한 멤브레인은 두 가지이다. 첫째로, 상용 양이온 교환막 중 하나인 Nafion 117를 사용하였을 때 성능은 첫번째 사이클에서 충전만 일어났을 뿐 그 후 높은 저항 때문에 완전지가 작동하지 않았다. 하지만 두번째로 사용한 Fumasep 음이온 교환막(FAA-3-50)은 Nafion 117 멤브레인을 사용했을 때와는 다르게 비교적 안정적인 충방전 사이클링을 보였다. 전류 밀도 $40mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, 컷-오프 전압 0.55~1.7 V에서 전류 효율(charge efficiency)은 97%, 전압 효율(voltage efficiency)은 78%로 높게 나타났다. 방전 용량(discharge capacity)은 10사이클에서 $1.44Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 이론 용량($2.68Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}$)의 54%를 나타내었다. 방전 용량의 용량 손실율(capacity loss rate)은 $0.0015Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}/cycle$ 로 나타났다. 순환주사전류 실험을 통해 Nafion 117 멤브레인과 Fumasep 음이온 교환막 사이의 이러한 성능차이는 활물질의 크로스 오버(cross over) 현상으로 인한 방전 용량 손실이 아닌 멤브레인과 활물질의 화학적 반응으로 인한 저항 증가가 원인임을 파악할 수 있었다.

Energy storage systems should address issues such as power fluctuations and rapid charge-discharge; to meet this requirement, CoFe₂O₄ (CFO) spinel nanoparticles with a suitable electrical conductivity and various redox states are synthesized and used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. In particular, CFO electrodes combined with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can provide long-term cycling stability by fabricating binder-free three-dimensional electrodes. In this study, CFO-decorated CNFs are prepared by electrospinning and a low-cost hydrothermal method. The effects of heat treatment, such as the activation of CNFs (ACNFs) and calcination of CFO-decorated CNFs (C-CFO/ACNFs), are investigated. The C-CFO/ACNF electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 142.9 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and superior rate capability of 77.6% capacitance retention at a high scan rate of 500 mV/s. This electrode also achieves the lowest charge transfer resistance of 0.0063 Ω and excellent cycling stability (93.5% retention after 5,000 cycles) because of the improved ion conductivity by pathway formation and structural stability. The results of our work are expected to open a new route for manufacturing hybrid capacitor electrodes containing the C-CFO/ACNF electrode that can be easily prepared with a low-cost and simple process with enhanced electrochemical performance.
