  • Nano-sized Sn particles were coated with Ni-P layer using an electroless deposition method and their anodic performance was tested for lithium secondary batteries. Uniform coating layers were obtained, of which the thickness was controlled by varying the $Ni^{2+}$ concentration in the plating bath. It was found that the Ni-P layer plays two important roles in improving the anodic performance of Sn powder electrode. First, it prevents the inter-particle aggregation between Sn particles during the charge/discharge process. Second, it provides an electrical conduction pathway to the Sn particles, which allows an electrode fabrication without an addition of conductive carbon. A pseudo-optimized sample showed a good cyclability and high capacity ($>400mAh\;g^{-1}$) even without conductive carbon loading.

  • In the research fields of energy storage, and more specifically of supplying high powers, electrochemical supercapacitor have been among the most studied systems for many years. One of the possible applications is in electric vehicles. We have been working on electronically conducting polymers for use as active materials for electrodes in supercapacitors. These polymers have the ability of doping and undoping with rather fast kinetics and have an excellent capacity for energy storage. polythiophene (Pth) and polyparafluorophenylthiophene (PFPT) have been chemically synthesized for use as active materials in supercapacitor electrodes. Electrochemical characterization has been performed by cyclic voltammetry and an electrode study has been achieved to get the maximun capacity out of the polymers and give good cyclability. specific capacity values of 7mAh/g and 40mAh/g were obtained for PFPT and polythiophene, respectively. Supercapacitors have been built to characterize this type of system. Energy storage levels of 260F/g were obtained with Pth and 110F/g with PFPT

  • Here, we report on nanocrystalline Si-Al-M (M = Fe, Cu, Ni, Zr) alloys for use as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, which were fabricated via a melt-spinning method. Based on the XRD and TEM analyses, it was found that the Si-Al-M alloys consist of nanocrystalline Si grains surrounded by an amorphous matrix phase. Among the Si-Al-M alloys with different metal composition, Ni-incorporated Si-Al-M alloy electrode retained the high discharge capacity of 2492 mAh/g and exhibited improved cyclability. The superior $Li^+$ storage performance of Si-Al-M alloy with Ni component is mainly responsible for the incorporated Ni, which induces the formation of ductile and conductive inactive matrix with crystalline Al phase, in addition to the grain size reduction of active Si phase.

  • Lithium dendrite formation is one of the most significant problems with lithium metal batteries. The lithium dendrite reduces the lithium metal batteries' cycling life and safety. To apply consistent external pressure to a lithium metal pouch cell, we design a press jig in this study. External pressure creates dense lithium morphology by preventing lithium dendrite formation. After 300 cycles at 1 C, the cells with the external pressure perform far better than the cells without it, with a cycling retention of 97.8%. The formation of stable lithium metal is made possible by external pressure, which also enhances safety and cyclability.

  • Sulfur-substituted $LiMn_{0.9}Cr_{0.1}O_{2-x}S_x$ $(0\;\leq\;x\;\leq\;0.1)$ layered oxides have been prepared by solid state reaction under inert atmosphere. From powder X-ray diffraction analyses, all the present lithium manganates were found to be crystallized with monoclinic-layered structure. Electrochemical measurements clearly demonstrated that, in comparison with the pristine $LiMn_{0.9}Cr_{0.1}O_2$, the sulfur-substituted derivatives exhibit smaller discharge capacities for the entire cycle range but the recovery of discharge capacity after the initial several cycles becomes faster upon sulfur substitution. The effect of the sulfur substitution on the chemical bonding nature of $LiMn_{0.9}Cr_{0.1}O_{2-x}S_x$has been investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopic (XAS) analyses at Mn and Cr K-edges. According to Mn K-edge XAS results, the trivalent oxidation state of manganese ion remains unchanged before and after the substitution whereas the local structure around manganese ions becomes more distorted with increasing the substitution rate of sulfur. On the other hand, the replacement of oxygen with sulfur has negligible influence on the local atomic arrangement around chromium ions, which is surely due to the high octahedral stabilization energy of $Cr^{+III} $ ions. Based on the present experimental findings, we have suggested that the decrease of discharge capacity upon sulfur substitution is ascribable to the enhanced structural distortion of $MnO_6$ octahedra and/or to the formation of covalent Li-S bonds, and the accompanying improvement of cyclability would be related to the depression of Mn migration and/or to the pillaring effect of larger sulfur anion.

  • 리튬 2차 전지의 양극재료로 사용되는 스피넬형 망간산화물$(Li_xMn_2O_4)$의 전기화학적 특성과 스피넬 전극에서 용량 감소가 일어나는 원인들에 대해 알아보았고, 용량감소를 억제할 수 있는 방안들을 제시하였다. 스피넬 전극의 가역성은 스피넬 산화물의 합성방법에 따른 순도, 입자크기 및 입자크기 분포, 전극극판을 구성하는 활물질, 카본 도전재 및 결합제의 상대적인 함량 그리고 극판의 미세구조 등에 의해 결정된다. 또한 전해액을 구성하고 있는 유기용매와 리튬염의 종류도 스피넬 전극의 충방전특성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 스피넬의 합성단계에서는 불순물의 생성과 양이온 자리바꿈(cation mixing) 등을 최소화하여야 한다. 극판의 제조시 도전재의 양은 최소화하여야 하나 스피넬의 전도도가 작으므로 도전재의 양이 너무 적으면 극판의 저항에 의한 분극손실이 크다. 결합제는 극판 구성요소의 분산도와 기계적 강도의 측면에서 최적화되어야 한다. 액체전해질로 carbonate 계열의 용매에 fluorine을 포함하고 있는 리튬염을 사용할 경우에 전해액의 산화와 스피넬의 용해 정도가 적어 양극의 용량감소가 적다. 또한, 표면적이 크고 입자크기가 작은 도전재를 사용할 경우 분극손실은 적으나 잔해질의 분해반응이 심하므로 이들 사이에 적절한 trade-off가 요구된다.

  • 상변화형 광디스크는 직접 반복기록에 의한 고속기록, 고밀도화가 가능하고 높은 전송속도, 재생신호의 C/N (carrier to noise) 비가 좋은 장점을 가지고 있으나 반복되는 열에너지에 의한 디스크의 변형과 소거도의 저하, 기록 반복성의 저하가 문제가 된다. 이러한 반복성의 저하를 개선하기 위해 적절한 디스크의 구조와 기록막의 상하부에 유전체 보호막인 ZnS-$SiO_2$ 박막층을 삽입하였다. 박막 제조시 많은 실험변수의 제어를 위해 다꾸찌 방법을 통하여 타겟 R.F. Power 200W, 기판 R.F. Power 20W, 아르곤 압력 4mTorr, 전극거리 6cm의 최적조건을 얻을수 있었다. TEM과 XRD분석 결과, 전극거리가 가까워질수록 높은 증착속도로 인하여 미세한 조직구조를 가지고 있으며, 일정거리 이상 가까워지면 막의 morphology에 나쁜 영향을 끼침을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 막의 morphology의 영향으로 투과율이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. AFM과 SEM분석에서는 전극거리가 가까워질수록 높은 증착속도로 인하여 morphology에 나쁜 영향을 끼치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 최적조건에서 증착한 박막은 우수한 morphology를 가진 초미세구조의 치밀하고 결함이 없는 박막이었다. 이 박막은 상변화형 광디스크에서 열적 변형을 억제하고, 열전도를 감소시켜 우수한 유전체 보호피막의 역할을 할 수 있다. 그리고, 전극거리가 ZnS결정립의 크기와 증착속도, morphology에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다.

  • Generally, the high energy lithium ion batteries depend intimately on the high capacity of electrode materials. For anode materials, the capacity of commercial graphite is unlike to increase much further due to its lower theoretical capacity of 372 mAhg-1. To improve upon graphite-based negative electrode materials for Li-ion rechargeable batteries, alternative anode materials with higher capacity are needed. Therefore, some metal anodes with high theoretic capacity, such as Si, Sn, Ge, Al, and Sb have been studied extensively. This work focuses on ternary Si-M1-M2 composite system, where M1 is Ge that alloys with Li, which has good cyclability and high specific capacity and M2 is Mo that does not alloy with Li. The Si shows the highest gravimetric capacity (up to 4000mAhg-1 for Li21Si5). Although Si is the most promising of the next generation anodes, it undergoes a large volume change during lithium insertion and extraction. It results in pulverization of the Si and loss of electrical contact between the Si and the current collector during the lithiation and delithiation. Thus, its capacity fades rapidly during cycling. Si thin film is more resistant to fracture than bulk Si because the film is firmly attached to the substrate. Thus, Si film could achieve good cycleability as well as high capacity. To improve the cycle performance of Si, Suzuki et al. prepared two components active (Si)-active(Sn, like Ge) elements film by vacuum deposition, where Sn particles dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix. This film showed excellent rate capability than pure Si thin film. In this work, second element, Ge shows also high capacity (about 2500mAhg-1 for Li21Ge5) and has good cyclability although it undergoes a large volume change likewise Si. But only Ge does not use the anode due to its costs. Therefore, the electrode should be consisted of moderately Ge contents. Third element, Mo is an element that does not alloys with Li such as Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, V, Zr. In our previous research work, we have fabricated Si-Mo (active-inactive elements) composite negative electrodes by using RF/DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrodes showed excellent cycle characteristics. The Mo-silicide (inert matrix) dispersed homogeneously in the Si matrix and prevents the active material from aggregating. However, the thicker film than $3\;{\mu}m$ with high Mo contents showed poor cycling performance, which was attributed to the internal stress related to thickness. In order to deal with the large volume expansion of Si anode, great efforts were paid on material design. One of the effective ways is to find suitably three-elements (Si-Ge-Mo) contents. In this study, the Si based composites of 45~65 Si at.% and 23~43 Ge at.%, and 12~32 Mo at.% are evaluated the electrochemical characteristics and cycle performances as an anode. Results from six different compositions of Si-Ge-Mo are presented compared to only the Si and Ge negative electrodes.

  • $SnO_2$ was electrodeposited on nodule-type Cu foil at varing current density and electrodeposition time. Unlike the previous research results, when the anodic current is applied, the $SnO_2$ layer was not electrodeposited and the substrate is corroded. When the cathodic current was applied, the $SnO_2$ layer could be successfully deposited. At this time, the surface microstructure of the powdery type was observed, which showed similar crystallinity to amorphous and had a very large surface area. Crystallinity increased after low-temperature heat treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ or lower. As a result of evaluating the charge/discharge performances as an anode material for lithium ion battery, it was confirmed that the capacity of the heat treated $SnO_2$ was increased more than 2 times, but it still showed a limit point showing initial low coulombic efficiency and low cyclability. However, it was confirmed that the battery performances may be enhanced through optimizing the electrodeposition process and introducing post heat treatment.
