The performance of carbon fluoride-based lithium primary batteries (Li/CF_X) is limited due to poor rate capability resulting from the low conductivity of carbon fluoride, which is used as the active material. Therefore, in this study, we applied a carbon coating using pyrolysis fuel oil on carbon fluoride to overcome this limitation and considered its electrochemical performance. An amorphous carbon layer was formed on the surface of the carbon fluoride through carbon coating, and the surface physicochemical properties of the carbon fluoride were meticulously considered based on the heat treatment temperature. The advanced research chemical 1000 heat treated at 450 ℃ (ARC@C450) sample, which was commercial carbon fluoride heat-treated at 450 ℃, showed the largest increase in the concentration of sp² carbon bonds (62%) and the highest formation of semi-ionic C-F bonds. Also, the primary battery using the ARC@C450 sample as a cathode active material exhibited stable discharge capability at the highest rate of 5 C (392 mAh/g), and the R_ct value was reduced by 53% compared to the untreated sample. Therefore, we proposed pyrolysis fuel oil-based carbon coating as a method to overcome the low conductivity of carbon fluoride, and the carbon-coated carbon fluoride showed excellent rate performance, suggesting its potential application in high-power primary batteries.

본 연구에서는 Molybdenum oxide (MoOx)-doped 4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthyl(amino)] triphenylamine(2-TNATA)의 P-doping에 의한 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact에 의한 All Ohmic contact를 이용한 유기 발광 다이오드 (OLEDs)의 광저항 특성의 향상을 설명한다. 이 소자의 성능은 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 두께와 도핑농도에 큰 영향을 받는다. glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (100 nm)/Al 구조의 소자에서 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA 도핑 농도가 25%에서 75%로 증가할수록 hole only device의 hole ohmic 특성이 향상됐다. 그 이유는 p-type doping effect 때문이다. 또한 photoemission spectra 분석결과, p-type doping effect는 hole-injecting barrier 높이는 낮추고, hole conductivity는 향상되었다. 이것은 2-TNATA에 도핑된 MoOx의 전하전송 콤플렉스의 형성으로 hole carrier의 수가 증가하여 발생되었다. MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium fluoride (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact 으로 구성된 glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (75%, 60 nm)/NPB (10 nm)/Alq3 (35 nm)/C60 (5 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (150 nm)의 소자구조는 6,4V에서 127,600 cd/m2 최대 휘도와 약 1,000 cd/m2에서 4.7 lm/W의 높은 전력 효율을 보여준다.

Silica- or titania-filled poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-based polymer electrolytes were prepared by phase inversion technique using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethyl acetamide as solvent and water as non-solvent. The polymer electrolytes were adopted to the lithium metal polymer battery using high-capacity cathode $Li[Ni_{0.15}Co_{0.10}Li_{0.20}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$ and lithium metal anode. After the repeated charge-discharge test for the cell, it was proved that the cell adopting the polymer electrolyte based on the phase-inversion membrane containing 40~50 wt% silica showed the highest discharge capacity (180 mAh/g) until 80th cycle and then abrupt capacity fade was just followed. The capacity fade might be due to the deposition of lithium dendrite on the polymer electrolyte, in which the capacity retention was no longer sustainable.

Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared from poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro propylene)[P(VdF-co-HFP)] that had higher mechanical properties as well as higher dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$=8~13) than other polymeric matrix. Mechanical properties and ionic conductivities have been investigated as a function of blend ratio of electrolyte solution and polymer matrix. Ethylene carbonate (EC)/${\gamma}$-butyrolactone (${\gamma}$-BL) and lithium triflate (LiCF$_3$SO$_3$) were used as solvent and salt, respectively. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, compression modulus, and dynamic shear modulus were evaluated. The highest ionic conductivity was 1.09$\times$10$^{-3}$ S/cm for PVH40 containing 28.6 wt% of P(VdF-co-HFP) at $25^{\circ}C$. Tensile strength, tensile modulus and compression modulus were increased with P(VdF-co-HFP) content and abruptly changed between PVH70 and PVH80. Dynamic shear moduli showed a typical gel behavior and changed with shear strain.

Many researchers have increased the loading level of electrodes to improve the energy density of secondary batteries. In this study, high-loading NCM523 (LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂) positive electrode is manufactured using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binder, not the conventional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) binder, which has been commonly used in lithium-ion batteries. Through the kneading process using PTFE suspension, not the conventional slurry process using PVdF solution in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), thick electrodes with high loading are easily manufactured. When the PTFE and PVdF-based electrodes are prepared at a loading level of 5.0 mAh/cm², respectively, the PTFE-based electrode shows better cycle performance and rate capability than those of PVdF-based electrodes. The electrode manufactured by the kneading process using a PTFE binder has high electrode porosity due to insufficient roll-press, but the porosity can be lowered by high temperature roll-press over 120℃. However, there is no significant difference in cycle performance according to the roll press temperature. In addition, the cycle performance of the high loading electrode is slightly improved by increasing the content of the conductive material. Overall, the PTFE binder can improve the performance of the high loading electrode, but additional solutions will be needed.

[ $SiO_2$ ] effect on the electrochemical properties of polymeric gel electrolytes(PGEs) reinforced with glass fiber cloth(GFC) was investigated . PGEs were composed of polyacrylronitrile(PAN), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)), $LiClO_4$ and three kind of plasticizer(ethylene carbonate, dietyl carbonate, propylene carbonate). $SiO_2$ was added to PGEs in the weight fraction of 10, 20, $30\%$ respectively. PGEs containing $SiO_2$ showed conductivity of over $10^{-3}S/cm\;at\;23^{\circ}C$ and electrochemical stability window to 4.8V. In the impedance spectra of the cells, which were constructed by lithium metals as electrodes, interfacial resistance increased due to growth of passivation layer during storage time and remarkable difference was not observed with content of $SiO_2$. In the impedance spectra of the lithium ion polymer batteries consisted of $LiClO_2$ and mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber(MCF), ohmic cell resistance of $SiO_2-free$ PGE was changed continuously with number of cycle, but those of $SiO_2-dispersed$ PGEs were not. Discharge capacity of the PGE containing $20wt\%\;SiO_2$ showed 132 mAh/g at 0.2C rate and $85\%$ of discharge capacity was retained at 2C rate.

Polyethylene (PE) separator is the most popular separator for lithium-ion batteries. However, it suffers from thermal contraction and mechanical rupture. In order to improve the thermal/mechanical dimensional stabilities, this study investigated the effects of $Si_3N_4$ coating. SCS (Silicon-nitride Coated Separator) has been fabricated by applying 10 ${\mu}m$-thick $Si_3N_4$/PVdF coating on one side of PE separator. SCS exhibits enhanced thermal stability over $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$: its thermal shrinkage is reduced by 10~20% compared with pristine PE separator. In addition, SCS shows higher tensile strength than PE separator. Employing SCS hardly affects the C-rate performance of $LiCoO_2$/Li coin-cell, even though its ionic conductivity is somewhat lower than that of PE separator.

In order to find out proper PVdF gel polymer electrolyte for Li/S battery, we investigated PVdF gel polymer electrolytes with various glyme type plasticizer such as polyglyme, tetraglyme, triglyme. The organic solvents as triglyme, tetraglyme, polyglyme (Mn = 250, 500) has different chain length of ethylene oxide(EO) in solvent of glyme system. ionic conductivity decreased as increasing chain length of EO in plasticizers. Ionic conductivity of PVdF gel electrolyte with tetraglyme, triglyme, polyglyme (Mn = 250, 500) at room temperature was $5{\times}10^{-4},\;3{\times}10^{-4},\;6{\times}10^{-5},\;3{\times}10^{-5}\;S/cm$, respectively. Li/S cell with PVdF gel polymer electrolyte using tetraglyme plasticizer had low interfacial resistance and the highest initial discharge capacity of 1232 mAh/g of active sulfur, which was about 70% utilization of theoretical value.

Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) thin films were fabricated by Electrostatic spray deposition (ESD). In this study, we reported the thickness, morphology, current efficiency, luminescence of OLED fabricated by ESD. These results were compared with the spin coating method, and showed that also ESD is a good fabrication method for OLED because of its characteristics similar with the results using spin coating. The active layer consists of organic blends with Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), 2-(4-Biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), N,N'-Bis(3-methylphenyl) -N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine (TPD), Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) (Ir(ppy)3), and the structure of OLED consists of aluminum (Al), lithium fluoride (LiF), organic blends, PEDOT:PSS and Indium-tin-oxide (ITO), which was used as the top cathode, cathode interfacial layer, emitting layer and bottom anode, respectively. The results suggest that Electrostatic spray deposition is a promising method for the next generation of OLED fabrication since it has a probability fabricating large-area thin films.
