본 연구는 리튬 이차전지용 고분자 전해질 복합재료에 관한 것으로, 고분자는 poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)와 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 블렌드를 사용하고, 용매로는 Ethylene carbonate(EC), 그리고 $LiClO_4$를 리튬염으로 하는 전해질 복합체 필름을 제조하였으며, PMMA의 함유량에 따른 고분자 전해질의 전기화학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 제조된 고분자 전해질의 결정화도와 이온전도도는 시차주사열량계(DSC)와 주파수반응분석기(FRA)로 분석하였다. 그 결과 PMMA의 함량을 증가시킴에 따라서, PEO의 결정 영역이 감소하고 이온전도도가 증가하였다. 또한, PMMA의 함량이 20 wt.% 이상인 경우, 고분자 블렌드필름에서 상분리되는 현상을 관찰하였다. 즉, SEM 분석결과에 의해서, PMMA 주성분 영역과 PEO 주성분 영역의 구분이 가능하였다. 고분자 전해질의 이온전도도는 20 wt.% 첨가한 경우 가장 큰 이온전도도를 가지며, 함유량이 20 wt.% 이상에서는 PMMA 상의 증가로 인해 다소 감소된 이온전도도 변화를 나타내었다.

The composite membranes using Nafion as matrix and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate (EMITCB) as ion-conducting medium in replacement of water were prepared and characterized. The amount of EMITCB in Nafion varied from 30 to 50wt%. The composite membranes are characterized by ion conductivity, thermogravitational analyses (TGA) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The composite membranes containing EMITCB of 40wt% showed the maximum ionic conductivity which was ~0.0146 S $cm^{-1}$ at 423.15 K. It is inferred that the decrease in ionic conductivity of all the composite membranes might be due to the decomposition of a tetracyanoboric acid formed in the composite membranes. The results of SAXS indicated that the ionic clusters to conduct proton in the composite membranes were successfully formed. In accordance with the results of ionic conductivity as a function of a reciprocal temperature, SAXS showed a proportional decrease in scattering maximum $q_{max}$ as the amount of EMITCB increases in the composite membranes, which results in the increase in ionomer cluster size. The TGA showed no significant decomposition of the ionic liquid as well as the composite membranes in the range of operating temperature ($120-150^{\circ}C$) of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HTPEMFC). As a result, EMITCB is able to play an important role in transferring proton in the composite membranes at elevated temperatures with no external humidification for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Conductivities of polycrystalline ceria doped with several rare earth oxides were measured by AC admittance and DC four probe method. The conductions were separated into grain and grain boundary contributions using the complex admittance technique as well as grain size dependence of conductivity. The grain size dependence of polycrystalline conductivity, which can be adequately described by the so-called brick layer model, appears to give a more reliable measure of the grain conductivity compared to the complex admittance method. Polycrystalline resistivity(1/conductivity) increases linearly with the reciprocal of grain size. The intercept of resistivity vs. inverse grain size plot gives a measure of the grain resistivity and the slope gives a measure of the grain boundary resistivity. It was also noted that errors involved in the analysis of experimental data may be different between the complex admittance method and the impedance method. A greater resolution of the spectra was found in the complex admittance method, insofar as the present work is concerned, suggesting that the commonly used equivalent circuit may require re-evaluation.

본 연구에서는$(Li_{0.5}La_{0.5})_{1-y}Sr_yTi_{1-x}Mn_xO_3$와 같은 조성계를 택하여 고용범위 내에서 Sr과 Mn을 변화시켜가며 이온전도도를 고찰하였다. 결과 Sr 치환의 경우 y=0.05 이상에서는 전도도가 급격히 감소하였으며 이는 이온전도에 기여하는 리튬의 절대량이 감소하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. Mn의 경우 치환에 의한 격자상수의 변화 외에 Jahn-Teller distortion에 의하여 전도도가 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. A-site와 B-site의 이온이 독립적으로 이온전도에 기여한다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 x=0.0006, y=0.05에서 이온전도도는$2.8{\times}10^{-2}$ S/cm였다.

In this study, a series of anion conductive organic/inorganic composite membranes with excellent ionic conductivity and chemical stability were prepared by introducing graphene oxide (GO) inorganic nanofiller into the quaternized poly(phenylen oxide (Q-PPO) polymer matrix. The fabricated organic/inorganic composite membranes showed higher ionic conductivity than the pristine membrane. In particular, Q-PPO/GO 0.7 showed the highest ionic conductivity value of 143.2 mS/cm at 90℃, which was 1.56 times higher than the pristine membrane Q-PPO (91.5 mS/cm). In addition, the organic/inorganic composite membrane showed superior dimensional stability and alkaline stability compared to the pristine membrane, and the physicochemical stability was improved as the content of inorganic fillers increased. Therefore, we suggest that the as-prepared organic/inorganic composite membranes are very promising materials for anion exchange membrane applications with high conductivity and alkaline stability.

Proton conducting polymeric gels as the electrolytes of electrochemical capacitors have been prepared by two different methods: 1) swelling a polymethacrylate-based polymer matrix in aqueous solutions of inorganic and organic acids, and 2) polymerizing complexes of anhydrous acids and prepolymers with organic plasticizer. The FT-IR spectra strongly suggest that the carbonyl groups in the polymer matrix interact with protons from the doped acids. High ionic (proton) conductivity in the range of $6\times10^{-4}-4\times10^{-2}\;S\;cm^{-1}$ was obtained at room temperature for the aqueous gels. The non-aqueous polymer complexes showed rather low ionic conductivity, but it was about $10^{-3}\;S\;cm^{-1}\;at\;70^{\circ}C$ for the $H_3PO_4$ doped polymer electrolyte. The mechanisms of ion (proton) conduction in the polymeric systems are discussed.

The ionic conductivity in glassy systems were calculated as functions of temperature and ion concentration using Monte-Carol method considering interaction between neighbouring ion-site occupancies, {{{{ rho }}'s. Also the vacancy availability factor, V, the effective jump frequency factor, W, and the charge correlation factor, fc, have been investigated. The Arrhenius plot could be obtained from the ln {{{{ sigma }}T vs. 1/T* plots and was in exellent agreement with the experimental observations. The effects of the various types of potential well on the ionic conductivity have been considered. The activation energy Eg for ion motion in the glass was 1.3│ε│from the ln {{{{ sigma }}T vs. 1/T* plots.

The curing characteristics of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as a curing agent were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheometrics mechanical spectrometry (RMS), and dielectric analysis (DEA). The isothermal curing kinetics measured by DSC were well represented with the generalized auto-catalytic reaction model. With the temperature sweep, the inverse relationship between complex viscosity measured by RMS and ionic conductivity obtained from DEA was established indicating that the mobility of free ions represented by the ionic conductivity in DEA measurement and the chain segment motion as revealed by the complex viscosity measured from RMS are equivalent. From isothermal curing measurements at several different temperatures, the ionic conductivity contribution was shown to be dominant in the dielectric loss factor at the early stage of cure. The contribution of the dipole relaxation in dielectric loss factor became larger as the curing further proceeded. The critical degrees of cure, at which the dipolar contribution in the dielectric loss factor starts to appear, increases as isothermal curing temperature is increased. The dielectric relaxation time at the same degree of cure was shorter for a sample cured at higher curing temperature.

The ionic conductivity of cubic solid solutions in the systems of CaO-$ZrO_2$, $Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ prepared by SHS was examined. The higher conductivity appears to be related to a lower activation energy rather than to the number of oxygen vacancies dictated by composition. Conductivity-temperature data was obtained at 1000 $^{\circ}C$ in atmosphere of low oxygen partial pressure (~$10^{-40}$ atm) for $Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ cubic solid solutions. The data indicated that these materials could be reduced, and the decree of reduction would be related with the measuring electric field.

A series of QPAE/TiO₂-x (x = 1, 4, 7 and 10 wt%) organic/inorganic composite membranes were prepared as electrolyte membranes for alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cells by controlling the content of inorganic filler with quaternized poly(arylene ether) (QPAE) random copolymer. Among the prepared QPAE/TiO₂-x organic/inorganic composite membranes, the highest ionic conductivity was 26.6 mS cm^-1 at 30℃ in QPAE/TiO₂-7 composite membrane, which was improvement over the ionic conductivity value of 6.4 mS cm^-1 (at 30℃) of the pristine QPAE membrane. Furthermore, the water uptake, swelling ratio, ionic exchange capacity, and thermal property of QPAE/TiO₂-x composite membranes were improved compared to the pristine QPAE membrane. The results of these studies suggest that the fabricated QPAE/TiO₂-x composite membranes have good prospects for alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cell applications.
