The lithium polymer battery with polymer electrolyte is expected as a safe and long cycle life battery. This paper reports primarily the recent development results of a solid polymer electrolyte, which is a key point of the secondary battery system. The new type of polymer electrolyte was prepared under a dry Ar atmosphere by dissolving $LiCIO_4$ in a matrix of EC, PC and then dispersing polyacrylonitrile(PAN). Also adding some inorganic filler $Al_2O_3$. The dispersed solution heated at $120^{\circ}C$. The polymer electrolyte were characterized by EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), TGA(Thermo Gravimetric analysis), DMA(Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The lithium ion yield is 0.29 when PAN-$Al_2O_3$ which was applied DC 5mV. The ionic conductivity of PAN, PAN-$Al_2O_3$ polymer electrolytes were showed $1.0{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$, $8.4{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$ at room temperature. When inorganic filler was added in the polymer electrolyte, ionic conductivity and lithium yield more larger than without inorganic filler.

It has been considered to apply GDC ($Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{1-X}$) for low-temperature SOFC electrolytes because it has higher ionic conductivity than YSZ at low temperature. However, open circuit voltage with using GDC ($Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{1-X}$) electrolyte in SOFCs, becomes lower than using YSZ (8 mol% Yttria stabilized Zirconia) electrolyte because GDC has electronic conductivity. In this work, the effect of changing GDC electrolyte thickness on the open circuit voltage has been investigated. Ni-GDC anode-supported unit cells were fabricated as follows. Mixed NiO-GDC powders were pressed and pre-sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$. And then, GDC electrolyte material was dip-coated on the anode and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$. Finally the LSCF-GDC cathode material was screen-printed on the electrolyte and sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$. Electrolyte thickness was controlled by the number of dip-coating times. Open circuit voltage was measured depending on electrolyte thickness at $650^{\circ}C$ and found that the thicker GDC electrolyte was, the better OCV was.

Highly proten-conductive elastic composites have been successfully prepared from $H_3PO_4$-doped silica gel and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block elastic copolymer. In addition solid state electric double-layer capacitors have been fabricated using the composite as an electrolyte and activated carbon powders(ACP) hybridized with the composite as a polrizable electrode. The cyclic voltammogram of the electric double-layer capacitor fabricated demonstrated that electric charge was stored in the elecric double-layer at the interface between the polarizable electrode and the electrolyte. The value of capacitance of the capacitor was 10 F/(gram of total ACP), which was comparable to that of the capacitors using conventional liquid electrolytes.

Lithium batteries based on elemental sulfur as the cathode-active material capture great attraction due to the high theoretical capacity, easy availability, low cost and non-toxicity of sulfur. Although lithium/sulfur (Li/S) primary cells were known much earlier, the interest in developing Li/S secondary batteries that can deliver high energy and high power was actively pursued since early 1990’s. A lot of technical challenges including the low conductivity of sulfur, dissolution of sulfur-reduction products in the electrolyte leading to their migration away from the cathode, and deposition of solid reaction products on cathode matrix had to be tackled to realize a high and stable performance from rechargeable Li/S cells. This article presents briefly an overview of the studies pertaining to the different aspects of Li/S batteries including those that deal with the sulfur electrode, electrolytes, lithium anode and configuration of the batteries.

In this work, polymer - inorganic composites have prepared using polymer such as polyethylene glycol (PEG)/poly (methyl methacrylate, PMMA) and inorganic nanofillers materials such as TiO2 nanotubes (TiNTs)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The extensive structural, morphological and ionic properties revealed that the high surface area and tubular feature of nanofillers improved the interaction and cross-linking to polymer matrix which is significantly enhanced the ionic conductivity and electrical properties of composite electrolytes. Comparably high conversion efficiency ~4.5% has been observed by using the newly prepared PEG-TiNTs composite solid electrolyte as compared with PMMA-CNTs electrolyte based DSSCs (~3%). The detailed comparative properties would be discussed in term of their structural, morphology, ionic and photovoltaic properties.

Electroplating methods by molten salts and non-aqueous melts were employed for aluminium coating on STS 316L stainless steel. After coated with Ni or non-coated surface on stainless steel, Al pulse plating was carried out in two different types of electrolytes at room temperature. The Al layer from $AlCl_3$-TMPAC melts could not obtain appreciable thickness for engineering application due to chemical reactions between deposits and moisture of air. However, The Al coating by pulse plating in the Ethylbenzene-Toluene-$AlBr_3$ systems was found to be solid coating layer with a few $\mu\textrm{m}$ scale. The conductivity of Ethylbenzene-Toluene-$AlBr_3$ electrolyte was as functions of time and agitation. By seven days exposure after mixing of the electrolyte, Al-deposited layer shows uniform and near by pore-free with high current density (higher than 30mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$). The roughness and imperfection of coating layer were decreased with a increasing agitation speed. It was found that the optimum condition for the Al pulse plating on the 316L stainless steel was a 400mA peak current, duty cycle, $t_{on}$ $t_{ off}$=3ms/1ms, and a current density of 30mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted much interest for their high energy density (>150 mAh/g), high capacity, low self-discharge rate, and high coulombic efficiency. However, with the successful commercialization of LIBs, fire and explosion incidents are likely to increase. The thermal runaway is known as the major factor in battery-related accidents that can lead to a series of critical conditions. Considering this, recent studies have shown an increased interest in countering the safety issues associated with LIBs. Although safety standards for LIB use have recently been formulated, little attention has been paid to the safety around the manufacturing process for battery products. The present study introduces a risk assessment method suitable for assessing the safety of the LIB-manufacturing process. In the assessment method, a compensation parameter (Z-factor) is employed to correctly evaluate the process's safety on the basis of the type of material (e.g., metal anode, liquid electrolyte, solid-state electrolytes) utilized in a cell. The proposed method has been applied to an 18650 cell-manufacturing process, and three sub-processes have been identified as possibly vulnerable parts (risk index: >4). This study offers some crucial insights into the establishment of safety standards for battery-manufacturing processes.

이온성 액체 전해질염 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($EMIBF_4$)과 용매 acrylonitrile (ACN) 및 propylene carbonate (PC)와 각각 혼합한 용액에 poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA)를 45-60 wt.% 첨가하고 자외선 조사를 통해 경화시켜 고체 고분자 전해질 필름을 제조하였다. 이 고체 고분자 전해질 필름을 분리막으로 채택하고 활성탄 전극을 사용하는 수퍼커패시터를 제조하여 그 전기화학적 특성을 사이클릭 볼타메트리와 임피던스 방법으로 조사하였다. 결과적으로 PEGDA를 45 wt.% 첨가하여 제조한 고체 고분자 전해질 필름을 채택한 경우가 스캔속도 $20mVs^{-1}$에서 $46Fg^{-1}$의 가장 우수한 축전용량을 나타내는데, 이것은 PEGDA의 저함량 때문에 상대적으로 자외선 경화가 약하게 진행되어 고분자 전해질 필름의 유연성이 충분히 확보되므로 필름 내 이온전도가 가장 활발히 진행될 수 있었기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 mobil crystalline material-41(MCM-41)의 함량 변화에 따른 고체 고분자 전해질(solid polymer electrolyte, SPE)의 이온전도도의 변화를 고찰하기 위하여, poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO), 메조포러스 기공 구조를 가지는 MCM-41 분자체, 그리고 리튬염을 이용하여 SPE를 제조하였다. SPE의 결정화도는 X-선 회절분석(XRD) 및 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 통하여 살펴보았으며, 주파수반응분석(FRA)으로 이온전도도를 측정하여 이온 전도거동을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, MCM-41을 고분자 혼합물에 첨가함에 따라 PEO의 견정성 영역의 성장을 억제할 수 있었으며, 이는 MCM-41이 메조포러스한 구조를 가지고 있기 때문이다. 또한, $P(EO)_{16}LiClO_4$/MCM-41 전해질 복합체의 이온 전도도는 8$wt\%$의 MCM-41을 첨가한 경우 가장 큰 이온전도도를 가지며, 8$wt\%$이상에서는 다소 감소된 이온전도도를 가짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 이온전도도의 특성은 MCM-41의 첨가에 따른 고분자의 결정화도 변화와 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있다.

본 연구에서는 리튬 이차 전지의 가연성이 높은 액체 전해액의 대체 또는 개선을 위하여 이온성 액체 전해액으로 전극들에서의 거동을 관찰하였다. 이온성 액체인 1-ethyl-1-methyl piperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide(PP12 TFSI)는 녹는점이 $85^{\circ}C$이므로 상온에서 고체상이다. PP12 TFSI를 단독으로 전해액에 사용할 수 없으므로 리튬 이온 전지용 용매와 혼합하여 사용한다. PP12 TFSI를 50 wt.% 이상 사용하면 난연성이 아주 좋은 반면에 점도가 높아서 전해액 함침이 어렵다. 이온성 액체의 비율을 44 wt.%(이온성 액체:용매=1:1.25 wt.%)로 맞추고, 혼합한 용매는 EC/DEC(1/1 vol.%)이며, $LiPF_6$의 농도가 1.5 M이 되도록 전해액을 준비하여 연구하였다. 준비한 전해액은 자가소화시간 25초의 준수한 난연성을 가지고 있으며, 여러 종류의 전극에서도 우수한 수명 성능을 보여주었다. 적용된 전극은 $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4(LNMO)$, $LiFePO_4(LFP)$, $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}(LTO)$, artificial graphite이며, 특히 음극으로 사용된 artificial graphite에서의 전해액 분해를 방지하기 위한 첨가제의 거동도 관찰하였다. 여전히 전극으로의 함침의 문제가 다소 관찰이 되었으며 이런 문제가 개선될 수 있는 최적화된 혼합 이온성 액체 전해액이 개발된다면 이온성 액체의 난연성 특성은 더욱 활용성이 높아질 것이다.
