Battery heat management is essential for high power and high energy battery system because it affects its performance, longevity, and safety. In this paper, we investigated the temperature of the 18650 Lithium Ion Battery Module used in a Energy Storage System (ESS) and the cooling method to minimize cell-to-cell temperature variation of battery module. For uniform temperature distribution within a battery module, the flow direction of the coolant in a battery module has been changed according to the time interval, and studied the effect of the cooling method on the temperature uniformity in a battery module which includes a number of battery cells. The experimental results show that bi-directional battery cooling method can effectively reduce the cell-to-cell temperature variation compared with the one-directional battery cooling. Furthermore, it is also found that bi-directional battery cooling can reduce the maximum temperature in a battery module.

An integral electrode-bipolar plate assembly, which is composed of electrode, conductive adhesive film (CAF) and bipolar plate, has been developed and evaluated for application with a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) to decrease contact resistance between electrode and bipolar plate. The CAF, made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) material with carbon black or CNT (Carbon Nano Tube), is applied between the electrode and the bipolar plate to enable an integral assembly by adhesion. In order to evaluate the integral assembly of VRB by adhesive film, the resistivity of integral assembly and the performance of single cell were investigated. Thus, it was verified that the integral assembly is applicable to redox flow battery. Through resistance and contact resistance of bare EVA and CAF films on bipolar plate were changed. Among the adhesive films, CAF film coated with carbon black showed the lowest value in through resistance, and CAF film coated with CNT showed the lowest value in contact resistance, respectively. The efficiency of VRB single cell was improved by applying CAF films coated with carbon black and CNT, resulting in the reduced overvoltage in charging process. Therefore, the energy efficiency of both CAF films, about 84%, were improved than that of blank cell, about 79.5 % under current density at 40 mA cm^-2. The energy efficiency of the two cells were similar, but carbon black coated CAF improved the coulomb efficiency and CNT coated CAF improved the voltage efficiency, respectively.

본 연구에서는 음극 활물질로 폴리옥소메탈에이트(polyoxometalate, POM)인 포스포몰리브 산(phosphomolybdic acid)와 양극 활물질로 페로시아나이드(ferrocyanide)를 지지 전해질인 수산화나트륨 수용액을 이용하여 산화환원 흐름 전지(redox flow battery, RFB)를 구성하였다. 다양한 농도의 수산화나트륨 수용액(1.0 M, 1.2 M, 1.4 M, 1.5 M, 1.6 M)을 이용하여 배터리의 성능테스트를 진행하였으며, 각 물질에 대한 전기화학적 특성과 안정성에 대해 연구하였다. 지지 전해질의 농도는 음극 활물질인 포스포몰리브 산에 영향을 주며 최적 값이 존재하고 농도가 증가할수록 전해질 저항이 줄어들게 되며 1.5 M에서 가장 줄어드는 현상을 확인하였고 1.6 M로 농도가 증가할 시 전해질 저항이 다시 증가한다는 것을 확인하였다. 전해질 저항의 감소는 전체 에너지 효율에도 영향을 주어 농도가 증가됨에 따라 효율은 증가하며 1.5 M에서 가장 좋은 배터리 성능을 보인다는 것을 확인하였다.

Background: Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) has been widely used as an effective medical treatment for pain and for postoperative analgesia. However, improper dose errors in intravenous (IV) administration of narcotic analgesics from a PCA infusion pump can cause patient harm. Furthermore, opioid overdose is considered one of the highest risk factors for patients receiving pain medications. Therefore, accurate delivery of opioid analgesics is a critical function of PCA infusion pumps. Methods: We designed a microbalance method that consisted of a closed acrylic chamber containing a layer and an oil layer with an electronic balance. A commercially available infusion analyzer (IDA-5, Fluke Co., Everett, WA, USA) was used to measure the accuracy of the infusion flow rate from a commercially available smart PCA infusion pump (PS-1000, UNIMEDICS, Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) and compared with the results of the microbalance method. We evaluated the uncertainty of the flow rate measurement using the ISO guide (GUM:1995 part3). The battery life, delay time of the occlusion alarm, and bolus function of the PCA pump were also tested. Results: The microbalance method was good in the short-term 2 h measurement, and IDA-5 was good in the long-term 24 h measurement. The two measurement systems can complement each other in the case of the measurement time. Regarding battery performance, PS-1000 lasted approximately 5 days in a 1 ml/hr flow rate condition without recharging the battery. The occlusion pressure alarm delays of PS-1000 satisfied the conventional alarm threshold of occlusion pressure (300-800 mmHg). Average accuracy bolus volume was measured as 63%, 95%, and 98.5% with 0.1 ml, 1 ml, and 2 ml bolus volume presets, respectively. A 1 ml/hr flow rate measurement was evaluated as 2.08% of expanded uncertainty, with a 95% confidence level. Conclusion: PS-1000 showed a flow accuracy to be within the infusion pump standard, which is ± 5% of flow accuracy. Occlusion alarm of PS-1000 was quickly transmitted, resulting in better safety for patients receiving IV infusion of opioids. PS-1000 is sufficient for a portable smart PCA infusion pump.

Graphite-based electrodes were prepared using synthetic graphite (MCMB 1028) or natural graphite (NG) powder using a dimensionally stable anode (DSA) as a substrate. Their electrochemical properties were investigated in vanadiumbased electrolytes to determine how to increase the durability and improve the energy efficiency of redox flow batteries. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed in the voltage range of -0.7 V to 1.6 V vs. SCE at various scan rates to analyze the vanadium redox reaction. The graphite-based electrodes showed a fast redox reaction and good reversibility in a highly concentrated acidic electrolyte. The increased electrochemical activity of the NG-based electrode for the $V^{4+}/V^{5+}$ redox reaction can be attributed to the increased surface concentration of functional groups from the addition of conductive material that served as a catalyst. Therefore, it is expected that this electrode can be used to increase the power density and energy density of redox flow batteries.

The flow and the moisture contamination of the dry room in the manufacturing process of lithium ion battery are analyzed numerically by finite volume method. Standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model widely applied in predicting turbulent flow is adopted in this study. Moisture contamination and distribution are studied by assumption of two cases; one-point generation and uniform generation throughout the room. To evaluate ventilation efficiency on moisture contamination, scales of ventilation efficiency are introduced. From these analyses, moisture contamination is strongly dependent on the flow field and the radius of moisture contamination can be reduced by closing a part of outlets in a dry room.

산화환원흐름전지(Redox Flow Battery, RFB)는 대용량 에너지 저장장치로 바나듐 산화환원흐름전지가 대표적인 RFB인데, V-RFB는 고가인 점이 문제다. 철-크롬 RFB는 저가의 활물질(철, 크롬)을 사용해 경제적인 점이 장점인데, 성능이 낮은 점이 해결해야 할 과제다. 낮은 성능의 한 원인이 활물질의 크로스오버인데, 본 연구에서 불소계막 대신 탄화수소계막인 sulfonated Poly (ether ether ketone) (sPEEK)막을 사용해 활물질 투과를 감소시키는 연구를 하였다. sPEEK막의 크롬 이온 투과도는 $1.8{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/min$으로 Nafion막에 비해 약 1/33으로 작아서 불소계막 대신 sPEEK막을 사용하면 높은 활물질 투과문제를 해결할 수 있음을 보였다. 철 이온의 sPEEK막 확산의 활성화 에너지도 24.9 kJ/mol으로 Nafion막의 약 66%로 작았다. 그리고 고분자막에 들어간 e-PTFE 지지체가 철-크롬 산화환원흐름전지(ICRFB)에서 활물질 투과도를 감소시킴을 보였다.
