The lithium ion concentration dependant ionic conductivity and thermal properties of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA)/acrylonitrile-based copolymer electrolytes with $LiClO_4$ have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and AC complex impedance measurements. In systems with 11 wt% of acrylonitrile all liquid electrolytes were obtained regardless of lithium ion concentration. Complex impedance measurements with stainless steel electrodes give ambient ionic conductivities $8.1\times10^{-6}\sim1.4\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$. On the other hand, a hard and soft films at ambient temperature were obtained in copolymer electrolyte system consists of 15 wt% acrylonitrile with 6 : 1 and 3 : 1 of [EO] : [Li] ratio, respectively. DSC measurements indicate the crystalline melting temperature of poly(PEGMA) disappeared completely after addition of $LiClO_4$ in this system due to the complex formation between ethylene oxide (EO) unit and lithium salt. As a result, free standing film with room temperature ionic conductivity of $1.7\times10^{-4}S cm^{-1}$ and high electrochemical stability up to 5.5V was obtained by controlling of acrylonitrile and lithium salt concentration.

결정성 및 무정형 고분자 전해질의 이온전도 거동에 미치는 초임계 이산화탄소 (sc$CO_2$) 유체의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 본 연구는 폴리에테르 전해질의 이온전도도 향상에 관한 새로운 개념의 접근 방법이다. sc$CO_2$ 처리결과, 결정성 PEO 전해질의 경우 실온에서 100배 이상의, 무정형 PMEO 전해질은 9$0^{\circ}C$에서 30배 가까운 이온전도도의 상승을 나타내었다. 이는 고분자 매트릭스 내부로 $CO_2$ 분자가 침투함으로써 이온 분산효과로 캐리어 이온의 수를 증가시키고 가소화 효과로 인해 유리전이온도를 저하시켜 이온이동도를 향상시킨 결과이다.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for all-stolid-state lithium battery. We investigated conductivity, electrochemical properites and impedence spectroscopy of poly(ethylene oxide)[PEO]/poly(vinylidene fluoride)[PVOF] blend electrolytes and charge/discharge cycling of LiCoO$_2$/SPE/Li cell. By adding PVDF and plasticizer to PEO-LICIO$_4$electrolyte, its condustivity was higher than that of PEO-LiCIO$_4$electrolyte. Also PEO$_4$PVDF$_4$LiClO$_4$PC$_{5}$EC$_{5}$ remains stable up to 4.4V vs Li/Li. The discharge capacity of the LiCoO$_2$composite cathode was 92mAh/g based on LiCoO$_2$.EX>.

Electrochromic (EC) device is an element whose transmittance is changed by electrical energy. Coloring and decoloring states can be easily controlled and thus used in buildings and automobiles for energy saving. There exist several types of EC devices; EC using electrolytes, polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), and suspended particle device (SPD) using polarized molecules. However, these devices involve solutions such as electrolytes and liquid crystals, limiting their applications in high temperature environments. In this study, we have studied all-solid-state EC device based on Tin(IV) oxide (SnO₂). A coloring phase is achieved when electrons are accumulated in the ultraviolet (UV)-treated SnO₂ layer, whereas a decoloring mode is obtained when electrons are empty there. The UV treatment of SnO₂ layer brings in a number of localized states in the bandgap, which traps electrons near the conduction band. The SnO₂-based EC device shows a transmittance of 70.7% in the decoloring mode and 41% in the coloring mode at a voltage of 2.5 V. We have achieved a transmittance change as large as 29.7% at the wavelength of 550 nm. It also exhibits fast and stable driving characteristics, which have been demonstrated by the cyclic experiments of coloration and decoloration. It has also showed the memory effects induced by the insulating layer of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and silicone (Si).

Surface coating of cathodes is an essential process for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) based on sulfide electrolytes as it efficiently suppresses interfacial reactions between oxide cathodes and sulfide electrolytes. Based on computational calculations, Li₃PO₄ has been suggested as a promising coating material because of its higher stability with sulfides and its optimal ionic conductivity. However, it has hardly been applied to the coating of ASSBs due to the absence of a suitable coating process, including the selection of source material that is compatible with ASSBs. In this study, polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and (NH₄)₂HPO₄ were used as source materials for preparing a Li₃PO₄ coating for ASSBs, and the properties of the coating layer and coated cathodes were compared. The Li₃PO₄ layer fabricated using the (NH₄)₂HPO₄ source was rough and inhomogeneous, which is not suitable for the protection of the cathodes. Moreover, the water-based coating solution with the (NH₄)₂HPO₄ source can deteriorate the electrochemical performance of high-Ni cathodes that are vulnerable to water. In contrast, when an alcohol-based solvent was used, the PPA source enabled the formation of a thin and homogeneous coating layer on the cathode surface. As a consequence, the ASSBs containing the Li₃PO₄-coated cathode prepared by the PPA source exhibited significantly enhanced discharge and rate capabilities compared to ASSBs containing a pristine cathode or Li₃PO₄-coated cathode prepared by the (NH₄)₂HPO₄ source.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. This paper describes the effects of lithium salts, plasticizer addition and temperature dependence of conductivity of PEO electrolytes. Polyethylene oxide(PEO) based polymer electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting an acetonitrile solution of preweighed PEO and Li salt. After solvent evaporation, the electrolyte films were vacuum-dried at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48h, the thickness of the films were $90{\sim}110{\mu}m$. The conductivity properties of prepared PEO electrolytes are summarized as follows. PEO electrolyte complexed with $LiClO_4$ shows the better conductivity of the others. $PEO-LiClO_4$ electrolyte when $EO/Li^+$ ratio is 8, showed the best conductivity. Optimum operating temperature of PEO electrolyte is $60^{\circ}C$. By adding propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate to $PEO-LiClO_4$ electrolyte, its conductivity was higher than $PEO-LiClO_4$ without those. Also $PEO_8LiClO_4$ electrolyte remains static up to 4.5V vs. $Li/Li^+$.

Pseudo capacitors belong to one group of super capacitors which are consisted with non carbon based electrodes. As such, conducting polymers and metal oxide materials have been employed for pseudo capacitors. Conducting polymer based pseudo capacitors have received a great attention due to their interesting features such as flexibility, low cost and ease of synthesis. Much work has been done using liquid electrolytes for those pseudo capacitors but has undergone various drawbacks. It has now been realized the use of solid polymer electrolytes as an alternative. Among them gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are in a key place due to their high ambient temperature conductivities as well as suitable mechanical properties. In this study, composition of a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based GPE was optimized and it was employed as the electrolyte in a pseudo capacitor having polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes. GPE was prepared using ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) and PAN as starting materials. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the GPE was $1.92{\times}10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ for the composition 202.5 PAN : 500 EC : 500 PC : 35 NaSCN (by weight). Performance of the pseudo capacitor was investigated using Cyclic Voltammetry technique, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique and Continuous Charge Discharge (GCD) test. The single electrode specific capacity (Cs) was found out to be 174.31 F/g using Cyclic Voltammetry technique at the scan rate of 10 mV/s and within the potential window -1.2 V to 1.2 V. The same value obtained using EIS was about 84 F/g. The discharge capacity ($C_d$) was 69.8 F/g. The capacity fade over 1000 cycles was rather a low value of 4%. The results proved the suitability of the pseudo capacitor for improving the performance further.

Physical properties of sputtered YSZ thin film electrolytes on anode thin film by spray pyrolisis has been investigated to realize the porous electrode and dense electrolyte multilayer structure for micro solid oxide fuel cells. It is shown that for better crystallinity and density, YSZ need to be deposited at an elevated temperature. However, if pure NiO anode was used for high temperature deposition, massive defects such as spalling and delamination were induced due to high thermal expansion mismatch. By changing anode to NiOCGO composite, defects were significantly reduced even at high deposition temperature. Further research on realization of full cells by processing hybridization and cell performance characterization will be performed in near future.
