A Si-CuO-graphite composite was prepared by a mechanical alloying (MA) method. The Si-CuO composite has a mixture structure, where CuO is homogeneously dispersed in Si. Also, $Cu_2O$ and $Cu_3Si$ phases were formed during MA and heat treatment. Graphite with the Si-CuO composite was mixed in the same mill for 30 minutes with weight ratio of Si-CuO composite and graphite as 1:1. The Si-CuO composite was homogeneously covered with graphite. SiC phase was not formed. Electrochemical tests of the composite have been investigated, and the first charge and discharge capacities of the material were about 870mAh/g and 660mAh/g, respectively. Those values are about 76% of the first cycle efficiency. The cycle life of the composite showed that the initial discharge capacity of 660 mAh/g could be maintained up to 92% after 20 cycles.

Spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ samples are prepared by heating a $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O/MnO_2$ mixture in air at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h, and their structure and electrochemical performance are studied by using X-ray diffraction, Cyclic Voltammetry, AC Impedance, and Charge-discharge measurements. It was found that the electrochemical properties of the $LiMn_2O_4$ samples are very sensitive to substituted volume of lithium. Initial impedances of all cathode was similar. Initial resistance was $60{\sim}70{\Omega}$. Reaction peak of Cyclic voltammetry was weak by increase of substituted volume of lithium. $Li[Li_{0.08}Mn_{1.92}]O_4$ and $Li[Li_{0.1}Mn_{1.9}]O_4$ cathode materials showed the charge and discharge capacity of about 125mAh/g at first cycle, and about 95mAh/g after 70th cycle. It showed excellent property in sample revealed good structure and other electrochemical property.

단순화한 연소법에 의해 합성한 $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$와 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$의 혼합물의 전기화학적 성질을 알아보기 위하여, 30분 동안 milling하여 $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$-x wt$\%$ $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ (x=9, 23, 33, 41, and 47) 조성의 혼합물을 제조하였다. x=9 조성의 전극이 비교적 큰 초기방전용량(109.9mAh/g at 0.1C)과 좋은 싸이클 성능을 가지고 있었다. 싸이클링에 따른 혼합물 전극의 방전용량 감소는 주로 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$의 퇴화에 기인한다고 생각된다. $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$의 퇴화는 $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$로부터 용해된 Mn이 $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ 입자를 둘러싸서(coating) 일어나는 것으로 판단된다.

As the charges/discharges of VRFB-ESS were repeated during 150cycles or more, the capacity of electrolyte in VRFB-ESS was decreased little by little. It results from the decreasing of the level of anolyte and the increasing of the valance value of the catholyte. Then, we tried to recover the capacity loss with 3 different ways. The first way was that the levels of anolyte and catholyte were allowed to be evenly equalized when the difference in the levels of two different electrolytes were severe. The second one was to lessen the valance value of the catholyte through the reduction reaction to 4-valant ions of 5-valant ions in the catholyte with the reductant, oxalic acid. The last one was that the all electrolytes of analyte and catholyte were allowed to be electro-chemically reduced to 3.5 of the valance value by oxidizing new electrolyte with 3.5 valance ions. The last way was the most effective to recover the capacity loss.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The morphologies, crystal structures, chemical bonding states, and electrochemical properties of the nanoparticles are investigated. The FTO nanoparticles show uniform morphology and size distribution in the range of 6-10 nm. The FTO nanoparticles exhibit excellent electrochemical performance with high discharge specific capacity and good cycling stability ($620mAhg^{-1}$ capacity retention up to 50 cycles), as well as excellent high-rate performance ($250mAhg^{-1}$ at $700mAg^{-1}$) compared to that of commercial $SnO_2$. The improved electrochemical performance can be explained by two main effects. First, the excellent cycling stability with high discharge capacity is attributed to the nano-sized FTO particles, which are related to the increased electrochemical active area between the electrode and electrolyte. Second, the superb high-rate performance and the excellent cycling stability are ascribed to the increased electrical conductivity, which results from the introduction of fluorine doping in $SnO_2$. This noble electrode structure can provide powerful potential anode materials for high-performance lithiumion batteries.

We investigated the electrochemical properties of lithium/molybdenum sulfide(Li/MoS$_2$) using tetra (ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether(TEGDME) electrolyte. The Li/TEGDME/MoS$_2$ cell showed the first discharge capacity of 288mAhg$^{-1}$. From the XRD, SEM results of the MOS$_2$ electrode in various cut-off voltage during charge-discharge process, MoS$_2$ partly changed into Li$_2$S and Mo during discharge and Li$_2$S partly recovered into MOS$_2$ and Li during charge. Full charged MOS$_2$ electrode showed lump shape of big size, which might be related to agglomerate of MoS$_2$ particles. Therefore, the degradation might be related to decrease of active material for electrochemical reaction by agglomeration of MOS$_2$.

345kV XLPE Cable system was constructed between Yeongseo-Yeongdeunpo at first in Korea. XLPE cable have the advantage of OF cable. it is to raise the power transmission capacity and reduce the power loss and expenses. We also applied many new technology in this project at first. One is pre-fabricated joint which can be easily assembled in the field without any hand-skill, another is PD(Partial Discharge) test for after laying test. Especially, PD measurement for after-laying test was performed to evaluate the quality of the cable joint and termination. Through the good experience of this project, we have gotten the international competitiveness of power business.

Three dimensional (3D) porous structures consisting of Cu@CoO core-shell-type nano-dendrites were synthesized and tested as the anode materials in lithium secondary batteries. For this purpose, first, the 3D porous films comprising Cu@Co core-shell-type nano-dendrites with various thicknesses were fabricated through the electrochemical co-deposition of Cu and Co. Then the Co shells were selectively anodized to form Co hydroxides, which was finally dehydrated to get Cu@CoO nanodendrites. The resulting electrodes exhibited very high reversible specific capacity almost 1.4~2.4 times the theoretical capacity of commercial graphite, and excellent capacity retention (~90%@50^th cycle) as compared with those of the existing transition metal oxides. From the analysis of the cumulative irreversible capacity and morphology change during charge/discharge cycling, it proved that the excellent capacity retention was attributed to the unique structural feature of our core-shell structure where only the thin CoO shell participates in the lithium storage. In addition, our electrodes showed a superb rate performance (70.5%@10.8 C-rate), most likely due to the open porous structure of 3D films, large surface area thanks to the dendritic structure, and fast electron transport through Cu core network.
