A cross-linked solid polymer electrolyte was prepared by copolymerizing photochemically acrylonitrile (AN), oligo(ethylene glycol ethyl ether) methacrylate, oligo(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate in the presence of lithium perchlorate as a lithium salt, ethylene carbonate-propylene carbonate as a mixed plasticizer, and poly(ethylene oxide) as a polymer matrix. The maximum ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte was 2.35$\times$10$\^$-3/ S/cm. The interface resistance of the polymer electrolyte was very low compared to that of the polymer electrolyte without AN. The former electrolyte was stable up to 4.3 V and the Ah efficiency was nearly 100% during the charge-discharge cycle.

Due to key roles for the electrochemical stability and charge capacity the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) has been extensively studied in anodes of a Li-ion battery cell. There is, however, few of investigation for cathodes. Using first-principles based calculations we describe atomic-level process of the SEI layer formation at the interface of a carbonate electrolyte and $LiMn_2O_4$ spinel cathode. Furthermore, using beyond the conventional density functional theory (DFT+U) calculations we examine the work function of the cathode and frontier orbitals of the electrolyte. Based on the results we propose that proton transfer at the interface is an essential mechanism initiating the SEI layer formation in the $LiMn_2O_4$. Our results can guide a design concept for stable and high capacity Li-ion battery cell through screening an optimum electrolyte fine-tuned energy band alignment for a given cathode.

The capacity and long life of gel electrolyte batteries is connected with gas recombination producting $PbO_2$ and Pb electrode. We were prepared with phosphoric acid gel electrolyte to know gel characteristics per density to assemble VRLA batteries. We studied by measuring electrolyte dispersion using Brewster-angle microscope(BAM), charge-discharge cycle and electrode structure using scanning election microscope(SEM) per electrolyte density. As a results, phosphoric acid density 1.210 was excellent gel dispersion in sol condition, electrode condition after fifty cycles in this study.

The optimum polymer gel electrolyte composition ratio was 23 : 66 : 11 wt% of P(VdF-co-HFP) : PVP =20 : 3), (PC: EC =44 : 22) and TEABF$_4$. And the optimal thickness of polymer gel electrolyte was 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The electrochemical characteristics result of unit cell were 31.41 Fig of specific capacitance, and 3.21$\times$10$^{-3}$ S/cm of ion conductivity. Ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes decreased according to added PVP through impedance analysis, and it was higher in 7 wt%, but electrochemical characteristics of unit cell were better in 3 wt% PVP. And for excellent ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes, the use of a thin layer electrolyte(20 $\mu\textrm{m}$) was an effective method, but with unit cell application, the best thickness was 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Unit cell showed higher capacitance and more stable electrochemical performance when hot pressed between polymer gel electrolyte and electrode. This results from enhancement of the physical contact between the electrode and the polymer gel electrolyte and good accessibility of the liquid electrolyte to the electrode surface.

The new type polymer electrolyte composed of polyacrylonitrile(PAN) baed polymer electrolyte contain LiClO$_4$-EC/PC and LiPF$\sub$6/-EC/PC were developed for the weightless and long or life time of lithium polymer battery system with using polyaniline electrode. The gel type electrolytes were prepared by PAN at different lithium salts in the glove box. We prepared for polymer electrolyte with knife casting method. The minimum thickness of PAN gel electrolyte for the slim type is about <400∼500$\mu\textrm{m}$. These gel electrolytes showed good compatibility with lithium electrode. The test cell of Li/polymer electrolyte/Lithium cobalt oxide solid state cell which was prepared by different lithium salt was researched by electrochemical technique. Resistance of polymer electrolyte which consist of LiClO$_4$ is more less than that of LiPF$\sub$6/ and cycle life is more longer than that of LiPF$\sub$6/.

The properties of anodized films on aluminum 6061 alloy in single electrolyte of sulfuric acid and mixed electrolyte of sulfuric-boric acid and sulfuric-boric-nitric acid have been studied. Polarization tests in NaC solution were used to investigate the corrosion performance. Characteristics of film formation and surface morphology were examined by optical microscopy, FE-SEM and EDS. The results obtained have indicated that oxide films growth have been promoted by nitric acid and anodized films in mixed electrolyte have superior corrosion resistance. In case of anodic films formed in mixed electrolyte, some grooves and numerous crazings were also observed at the surface.

The gel polymer electrolyte was prepared by radical polymerization using tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate to investigate affect of the number of ethylene oxide. The gel polymer electrolyte showed good electrochemical stability up to 4.5 V vs. Li/Li and high ionic conductivity at various temperatures. The lithium-ion polymer batteries with the gel polymer electrolyte, tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate- and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate-based, also represented good electrochemical performances such as rate capability, low-temperature performances and cycleability. However, the cell with tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, which has three ethylene oxide, showed better electrochemical performance.

For the development of reliable thermal batteries, electrolyte is quite important because it is closely related to the performance and stability of thermal batteries. This paper describes general image processing method used for the inspection of molten-salt based electrolyte disk and also describes how we can apply this image processing method to the inspection of thermal battery electrolyte. Moreover we have found optimized image processing conditions to improve the discriminating ability of compaction defects such as non-uniform parts in an electrolyte.

To reduce the consumption of chemicals and ultra pure water(UPW) in cleaning process used in device manufacturing, we proposed wet processes that use electrolytic ionized water(EIW), which is generated by electrolysis of a diluted electrolyte solution or UPW and systemically investicate the EIW\`s characteristics. EIW\`s pH values are increased in cathode chamber and decreased in anode chamber according to the electrolysis time and its varied ratio is reduced with time increasement. The variation of pH and ORP is increased accordin to the applied voltage until critical voltage. But more than that voltage, the variation is decreased because of ion\`s scattering effect. When electrolyte is added, the effects of electrolysis is increased because electrolyte acts as catalyst. But when the density of electrolyte is increased more than critical value, ion\`s flowage is obstructed and the effects of electrolysis is decreased.
