In the present work, we apply a technique that has been used for the expansion of graphite to multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The nanotubes are rapidly heated for a short duration, followed by immersion in acid solution, so that they undergo expansion. The diameter of the expanded CNTs is 5-10 times larger than that of the as-received nanotubes. This results in considerable swelling of the CNTs and opening of the tube tips, which may facilitate the accessibility of lithium ions into the inner holes and the interstices between the nanotube walls. The Li-ion storage capacity of the expanded nanotubes is measured by using the material as an anode in Li-ion cells. The result show that the discharge capacity of the expanded nanotubes in the first cycle is as high as 2,160 mAh/g, which is about 28% higher than that of the un-treated MWCNT anode. However, the charge/discharge capacity quickly drops in subsequent cycles and finally reaches equilibrium values of ~370 mAh/g. This is possibly due to the destruction of the lattice structures by repeated intercalation of Li ions.

We develop a new nonwoven composite separator for a safer lithium-ion battery, which is based on coating of silica ($SiO_2$) colloidal particles/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) binder to a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nonwoven support. The $SiO_2$ particles are interconnected by the SBR binder and closely packed in the nonwoven composite separator, which thus allows for the development of unusual porous structure, i.e. highly-connected interstitial voids formed between the $SiO_2$ particles. The PET nonwoven serves as a mechanical support that contributes to suppressing thermal shrinkage of the nonwoven composite separator. The $SiO_2$/SBR content in the nonwoven composite separators plays an important role in determining their separator properties. Porous structure, air permeability, and electrolyte wettability of the nonwoven composite separators, in comparison to a commercialized polyethylene (PE) separator, are elucidated as a function of the $SiO_2$/SBR content. Based on this understanding of the nonwoven composite separators, the effect of $SiO_2$/SBR content on the electrochemical performances such as self-discharge, discharge capacity, and discharge C-rate capability of cells assembled with the nonwoven composite separators is investigated.

리튬이온전지에서 음극활물질의 저장용량을 증가시키기 위하여 주석산화물에 대한 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 주석산화물은 기존의 흑연 음극활물질보다 충방전 용량이 높다. 하지만 충방전이 진행되는 동안에 부피팽창률이 높아서 활물질이 파괴되는 현상이 나타나므로 과도한 비가역용량이 문제가 된다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 물리적 완충역할을 하는 물질이 첨가된 복합산화물을 제조하였다. $SnO_2-SiO_2$ 복합산화물을 솔-젤법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 10 vol% 프로필렌기체를 이용하여 탄소피복을 하여 전기전도성을 증가시켰다. TG/DTA, XRD, SEM과 FT-IR을 이용하여 제조된 물질의 물성을 분석하였으며, CR2032 코인셀을 제조하여 전기화학적인 특성을 조사하였다. $300^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 후에 탄소피복한 $SnO_2-SiO_2$ 활물질의 전기화학적 특성이 가장 우수하였다.

With the widespread use of modern clean energy, lithium-ion batteries have become essential as a more reliable energy storage component in the energy Internet. However, due to the difference in monomers, some of the battery over-charge or over-discharge in battery packs restrict their use. Therefore, a novel multiphase interleaved converter for reducing the inconsistencies of the individual cells in a battery pack is proposed in this paper. Based on the multiphase converter branches connected to each lithium battery, this circuit realizes energy transferred from any cell(s) to any other cell(s) complementarily. This flexible interlaced converter is composed of an improved bi-directional Buck-Boost circuit that is presented with its own available control method. A simulation model based on the PNGV model of fundamental equalization is built with four cells in PSIM. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that converter and its control achieve simple and fast equalization. Furthermore, a comparison of traditional methods and the HNFABC equalization is provided to show the performance of the converter and the control of lithium-based battery stacks.

Stigimatella aurantiaca는 calcium, barium, 또는 lithium이온이 포함된 배지에서는 빛을 비추어 주어도 stalk를 형성하지 않고 포자낭으로만 분화하였다. Calcium이온과 GMP가 함께 첨가된 배지(GMP 배지)에서는 빛의 유무에 관계없이 stalk와 포자낭을 지니는 fruiting body가 형성되었다. Calcium 이온과 pheromone 포함된 배지(pheromone배지)에서는 빛이 있는 경우에는 대부분의 세균들이 stalk로만 분화되었으나, 빛이 없는 경우에는 대부분 포자낭으로만 분화하였다. 세균집합체는 calcium과 potassium 및 sodium이 함꼐 첨가된 배지(CPS배지)에서보다 calcium 이온만 첨가된 배지 (calcium 배지)에서 더 많이 형성되었다. GMP 배지나 pheromone 배지에서는 calcium 배지에서보다 적은 수의 세균집합체가 형성되었고, 빛이 없는 경우에는 이 집합체의 형성이 소요된 시간이 단축되었다. 빛은 상기한 네가지 배지에서 공히 짧은 시간에 더 많은 세균집합체가 형성되도록 하였다.

Carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have emerged as promising building blocks in applications for nanoelectronics and energy devices due to electrical property, ease of processability, and relatively inert electrochemistry. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in core-shell nanomaterials, in which inorganic nanowires are surrounded by inorganic or organic layers. Especially, carbon encapsulated semiconductor nanowires have been actively investigated by researchers in lithium ion batteries. We report a method to synthesize silicon nanowire (SiNW) core/carbon shell structures by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using methane (CH4) as a precursor at growth temperature of $1000{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Unlike carbon-based materials synthesized via conventional routes, this method is of advantage of metal-catalyst free growth. We characterized these materials with FE-SEM, FE-TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. This would allow us to use these materials for applications ranging from optoelectronics to energy devices such as solar cells and lithium ion batteries.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop tin oxide-flyash composite for lithium Ion polymer battery. Tin oxide is one of the promising material as a electrode active material for lithium Ion polymer battery (LIPB). Tin-based oxides have theoretical volumetric and gravimetric capacities that are four and two times that of carbon, respectively. We investigated cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance and charge/discharge cycling of SnO$_2$-flyash/SPE/Li cells. The first discharge capacity of SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode was 639 mAh/g. The discharge capacity of SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode was 563 and 472 mAh/g at 6th and 15th cycle, respectively. The SnO$_2$-flyash composite anode with PVDF-PMMA-PC-EC-LiClO$_4$ electrolyte showed good capacity with cycling.
