The existing batteries such as lead acid battery and Nicad battery have been at serious issue, because heavy metal such as Pb and Cd give rise to environmental pollution. Therefor, when these material is changed over polymeric electroactive material, we expect environmental pollution will be prevented. We decided to develop 2025 coin type PAn/Li-Al secondary battery for goal of memory back-up battery. This report is concerned with manufacturing of 2025 coin type PAn/Li -Al secondary battery.

Energy consumption of sensor nodes is minimized because it has limited energy generator in wireless sensor network. Electronic shelf label system is one of application fields using wireless sensor networks. Battery size of small apparatus for displaying price is restricted. Therefore its current consumption have to be minimized. Furthermore the method for minimization of peak current would be considered because life cycle of coin battery used to display or RF is vulnerable to intensity of drain current. In this paper, we analyze current consumption pattern of low-power electronic shelf label system. Then we propose the method for minimization of current consumption by modification of software and hardware. Current consumption of the system using proposed method are approximately 15 to 20 percent lower than existing system and the life cycle of the system is approximately 10 percent higher than existing system.

The carbon thin film was developed by the CVD method using the carbon source of toluene with the stream of argon gas at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Developed carbon thin films have the material loading of 0.27 mg($800^{\circ}C$), 0.80 mg($900^{\circ}C$), 2.3 mg($1000^{\circ}C$), and 2.9 mg($1100^{\circ}C$) for the disk of 15 mm diameter on single side. The characteristics of carbon thin film as the anode of thin film battery were evaluated using Li|C coin cell. Li|C($1100^{\circ}C$) coin cell has the first specific discharge and charge capacity of 953 mAh/g and 374 mAh/g, respectively, resulting the first Ah efficiency of 39.3 %. Capacity retention of the 5th cycle was 93.2 % indicating good cycleability. The carbon thin film prepared by CVD shows good specific capacity and cycleability, but low Ah efficiency.

The electrochemical behavior of Si-C material synthesized by heating the mixture of silicon and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Coin cells of the type 2025 were made using the synthesized material and the electrochemical studies were performed. Si-C/Li cells were made by using the developed Si-C material. Charge/discharge test was performed at 0.1C hour rate. Initial charge and discharge capacities at Si-C material derived from 20 wt.% of PVDF was found to be 1,830 and 526 mAh/g respectively. Initial charge/discharge characteristics of the electrode were analyzed. The level of reversible specific capacity was about 216 mAh/g at Si-C material derived from 20 wt.% of PVDF, IIE, intercalation efficiency at initial charge/discharge, was 68 %. Surface irreversible specific capacity was 31 mAh/g, and average specific resistance was 2.6 ohm*g.

In this study, several kinds of active carbons with high specific surface area and micro pore structure were prepared from the coconut shell charcoal using chemical activation method. The physical property of prepared active carbon was investigated by experimental variables such as activating chemical agents to char coal ratio, flow rate of inert gas and temperature. It was shown that chemical activation with KOH and NaOH was successfully able to make active carbons with high surface area of $1900{\sim}2500m^2/g$ and mean pore size of 1.85~2.32 nm. The coin cell using water-based binder in the electrolyte of LiPF6 dissolved in mixed organic solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%) showed better capacity than that of oil-based binder. Also, it was found that the coin cell of water-based binder shows an improved cycling performance and coulombic efficiency.

Silicon/Carbon/CNT composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized to overcome the large volume change during lithium alloying-de alloying process and low electrical conductivity. Silicon/Carbon/CNT composites were prepared by the fabrication processes including the synthesis of SBA-15, magnesiothermic reduction of SBA-15 to obtain Si/MgO by ball milling, carbonization of phenolic resin with CNT and HCl etching. The prepared Silicon/Carbon/CNT composites were analysed by XRD, SEM, BET and EDS. In this study, the electrochemical effect of CNT content to improve the capacity and cycle performance was investigated by charge/discharge, cycle, cyclic voltammetry and impedance tests. The coin cell using Silicon/Carbon/CNT composite (Si:CNT=93:7 in weight) in the electrolyte of $LiPF_6$ dissolved in organic solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%) has better capacity (1718 mAh/g) than those of other composition coin cells. The cycle performance of coin cell was improved as CNT content was increased. It is found that the coin cell (Si:CNT=89:11 in weight) has best capacity retension (83%) after 2nd cycle.

Using a high pressure homonizer, we report on the electrochemical performance of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}(LTO)$ particles manufactured as anode active material for lithium ion battery. High-pressure synthesis processing is performed under conditions in which the mole fraction of Li/Ti is 0.9, the synthesis pressure is 2,000 bar and the numbers of passings-through are 5, 7 and 10. The observed X-ray diffraction patterns show that pure LTO is manufactured when the number of passings-through is 10. It is found from scanning electron microscopy analysis that the average size of synthesized particles decreases as the number of passings-through increases. $LiCoO_2-based$ active cathode materials are used to fabricate several coin half/full cells and their battery characteristics such as lifetime, rate capability and charge transfer resistance are then estimated, revealing quite good electrochemical performance of the LTO particles as an effective anode active material for lithium secondary batteries.

A new power control algorithm for wireless communication which can be applied to various near distance communications and USN/RFID systems is proposed. This technique has been applied and tested to lithium coin battery operated UHF/microwave transceiver systems to show extremely long communication life time without battery exchange. The power control algorithm is based on the dynamic prediction method of arrival time for incoming packet at the receiver. We obtain 16mA current consumption in the TX module and 20mA current consumption in the RX module. The advantage provided by this method compared to others is that both master transceiver and slave transceiver can be low power consumption system.

Copper is an important component from coin metal to electronic wire, integrated circuit, and to lithium battery. Copper oxides, mainly including $Cu_2O$ and CuO, are important semiconductors for the wide applications in solar cell, catalysis, lithium-ion battery, and sensor. Due to their low cost, low toxicity, and easy synthesis, copper oxides have received much research interest in recent year. Herein, we review the crystallization of copper oxides by designing various chemical reaction routes, for example, the synthesis of $Cu_2O$ by reduction route, the oxidation of copper to $Cu_2O$ or CuO, the chemical transformation of $Cu_2O$ to CuO, the chemical precipitation of CuO. In the designed reaction system, ligands, pH, inorganic ions, temperature were used to control both chemical reactions and the crystallization processes, which finally determined the phases, morphologies and sizes of copper oxides. Furthermore, copper oxides with different structures as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries were also reviewed. This review presents a simple route to study the reaction-crystallization-performance relationship of Cu-based materials, which can be extended to other inorganic oxides.
