In order to investigate the origin of capacity fading with charge/discharge cycling in $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film battery, impedance studies have been performed with increasing cycling in $LiMn_2O_4/1M\;LiClO_4-PC/Li$ cells. The fitted values obtained from impedance data show good agreements with the experimental results. Especially, the element of charge transfer resistance of $LiMn_2O_4/liquid$ electrolyte interface initially increased, and then saturated with increasing the charge/discharge cycles, which could explain the cause of initial abrupt capacity fading of $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with cycling due to interfacial reaction. The steady capacity fading is caused by the increasing of Warburg resistance. The chemical diffusion coefficient of Li ions decreased from $5.15\times10^{-11}cm^2/sec$ at 1st cycles to $6.3\times10^{-12}cm^2/sec$ at 800th cycles, which attributed to the Jahn-Teller distortion/Mn dissolution which diminishes tetra hedral sites necessary for Li diffusion in $LiMn_2O_4$.

The effects of In and Be additions on the aging behaviors and mechanical properties in the Al-Cu-Li alloy were investigated using the transmission electron microscope, the scanning electron microscope, hardness and tensile strength measurement. The aging is promoted and the double hardness peak is appeared by the addition of In and Be in the Al-Cu-Li alloy. The strength is increased, but the elongation and toughness are decreased by the addition of In in the Al-Cu-Li alloy. And the Al-Cu-Li-In-Be alloy has good combination with the strength, the elogation and toughness than Al-Cu-Li-In alloy.

본 논문에서는 고체 리듐 전지를 개발하기 위하여 poly(ethylene oxide) [PEO] 에 $LiClO_4$, poly (vinylidene fluoride) [PVDF] 및 가소제로 propylene carbonate [PC] 와 ethylene carbonate[EC] 등을 혼합여 고분자 저해질을 제조하였다. 또한 고체 리듐 전지용 정극으로써 우수한 특성이 기대되는 $Li_xV_3O_8$을 졸-겔법에 의해 합성하여 $Li_xV_3O_8$SPE/Li cell 의 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 고분자 matrix는 PEO와 PVDE를 혼합 사용한 결과 $PEO_4 PVDF_4LiCIO_4PC_5EC_5$ 고분자 전해질이 상온에서 $5.2 {\times} 10{-3}$ S/cm 의 높은 이온 전도도를 나타냈으며 리듐 이온 transference number는 0.3이었다. 졸-겔법에 의해 제조된 $Li_xV_3O_8$을 사용한 $Li_xV_3O_8$SPE/Li cell의 방전시 cell 저항이 방전 초기에는 비소한 증가를 하다가 방전 말기 전압인 2.0V에서 크게 증가하였다. $Li_xV_3O_8$ composite 정극의 첫 번째 방전 용량은 295㎃h/g이었으며 8번째 충방전 싸이클부터 방전 용량이 안정화 되었고 15번째 방전 용량도 212㎃h/g으로 고체 전지용 정극으로써 우수한 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a method to keep the robot at a distance of 30 to 45cm from the user in consideration of each individual's minimum area and inconvenience by using a 2D LiDAR sensor LDS-01 as the secondary sensor along with a QR code. First, the robot determines the brightness of the video and the presence of a QR code. If the light is bright and there is a QR code due to human's presence, the range of the 2D LiDAR sensor is set based on the position of the QR code in the captured image to find and follow the correct target. On the other hand, when the robot does not recognize the QR code due to the low light, the target is followed using a database that stores obstacles and human actions made before the experiment using only the 2D LiDAR sensor. As a result, our robot can follow the target person in four situations based on nine locations with seven types of motion.

Using the Czochralski method, Er$_2$O$_3$ doped near stoichiometric LiNbO$_3$ single crystals were grown 15~20 mm in diameter and 30-35 mm in length for Z-axis. Lattice constants were inspected by the X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and through Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR), it observed absorption band. Also, the distributions of Er concentration were confirmed by the Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA).

The aim of this paper is, through the experiment of Lithium-Ammonia solutions $(Li(NH_3)_n)$, to analyze and verify a thermoelectric-conversion property at near Ammonia-boiling point ($-40^{\circ}C$). The experiment results show that the solutions with 0.58 MPM~1.87 MPM generate thermoelectric power at temperature difference $({\Delta}T=0{\sim}15^{\circ}C)$ where Current is constantly proportional to Voltage. This paper provides a new insight into the development of a thermoelectric material.

The high temperature proton exchange (HTPE) method was used to fabricate optical waveguides based on LiNbO$_3$, which gives rise to low propagation loss and high polarization extinction ratio. To characterize the refractive index distribution of the fabricated waveguides, the guided modes of each waveguide were observed using the prism coupling method and then the refractive index profile was calculated by the inverse WKB method with the least square fitting. Finally, we showed how the HTPE parameters such as the temperature of PE, the concentration of lithium additive, and the time of PE effect the refractive index profile.

We report the discovery of Li-rich $Li_{1+x}[(Ni_{0.225}Co_{0.15}Mn_{0.625})_{1-y}V_y]O_2$ as a cathode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in which a small amount of tetravalent vanadium ($V^{4+}$) is selectively and completely incorporated into the manganese sites in the lattice structure. The unwanted oxidation of vanadium to form a $V_2O_5-like$ secondary phase during high-temperature crystallization is prevented by uniformly dispersing the vanadium ions in coprecipitated $[(Ni_{0.225}Co_{0.15}Mn_{0.625})_{1-y}V_y](OH)_2$ particles. Upon doping with $V^{4+}$ ions, the initial discharge capacity (>$275mA\;h\;g^{-1}$), capacity retention, and voltage decay characteristics of the Li-rich layered oxides are improved significantly in comparison with those of the conventional undoped counterpart.

In this study, new morphology of NCA cathode material for lithium ion batteries was obtained through the electrospinning method. The prepared NCA nanofibers formed a nano-bush structure, and the primary particles were formed on the surface of the nanofibers. The embossing primary particles increased the surface area thus increasing the reactivity of lithium ions. The nano-bush structure could shorten the Li+ diffusion path and improve the Li+ diffusion coefficient. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the synthesized material consisted of nanofibers. The surface area of the nanofibers increased by primary particles was measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out to determine the structure of the NCA nanofibers.

Floating LiDAR systems provide significant savings in cost and time compared to the fixed meteorological mast measurement type, and have the advantage of being able to be deployed in various locations due to less restriction on the depth of the installation site. However, to use the wind data collected by a floating LiDAR system commercially, verification procedure is required to ensure that the collected data have sufficient availability. The Carbon Trust OWA roadmap presents guidelines in three stages for the reliability of the wind data collected using a floating LiDAR system. Companies developing wind farms are requesting at least Stage 2 (pre-commercial stage) presented by OWA, and many overseas companies are leading the domestic and overseas markets. In this paper, we introduce the case of OWA Stage 2 certification for the commercial operation of floating LiDAR systems.
