Initial irreversible capacity (IIC) can be defined by means of the initial intercalation Ah efficiency (IIE) and the initial irreversible specific capacity at the surface (IICs) with the linear-fit range of the intercalation so as to precisely express the irreversibility of an electrode-electrolyte system. Their relationship was IIC = Qc - Q$_{D}$ = (IIE$^{-1}$ - 1) Q$_{D}$ + IICs in the linear-fit range of IIE. Here, Qc and Qd signify charge and discharge capacity, respectively, based on a complete lithium ion battery cell. Charge indicates lithium insertion to carbon anode. Two terms of IIE and IICs depended on the types of active materials and compositions of the electrode and electrolyte but did not change with charging state. In an ideal electrode-electrolyte system, IIE and IICs would be 100%, 0 mAh/g for the electrode and mAh for the cell, respectively. These properties can be easily obtained by the Gradual Increasing of State of Charge (GISOC).OC).

The initial irreversible capacity (IIC) of a hard carbon during the charge/discharge reaction is strongly affected by both the initial irreversible capacity on the carbon surface $(IIC_S)$ and the initial irreversible lithium insertion into carbon $(IIC_B)$. The initial coulombic efficiency of the insertion and the desertion of lithium (IIE) can be used as a performance to classify $IIC_B$ of the carbon. The $IIC_B$ was proportional to the specific discharge capacity with a slope, $IIE^{-1}$ - 1. The IIE of hard carbon had four regions. $IIE_A$ for the region of 0~95 mAh/g of $Q_{D1}$ was 60.2%. $IIE_B$ and $IIE_C$ for the regions of 95~172 mAh/g and 172~308 mAh/g had 84.9% and 91.5%, respectively. $IIE_D$ was appeared above 308 mAh/g. But, the $IIE_D$ was reduced to 82.1% compared with $IIE_C$. These IIE might be corresponding to lithium desertion from carbon at the region of 0~172 mAh/g range, lithium desertion from the micropore of carbon at the region of 172~308 mAh/g range, and to the lithium stripping of the plated lithium for the region above 308 mAh/g, respectively.

Characteristics of half cells of graphite/lithium and LiCoO$_2$/lithium, and full cells of graphite/LiCoO$_2$/ were analyzed by the use of GISOC(the gradual increasing of the state of charge). GISOC analyses generated IIE(the initial intercalation efficiency), which represents lithium intercalation property of the electrode material, and IIC$_{s}$(the initial irreversible capacity by the surface), which represents irreversible reaction between the electrode surface and electrolyte. Linear-fit range of graphite and LiCo/O$_2$electrodes were respectively 370 and 150 mAh/g based on material weight. IIE of graphite and LiCo/O$_2$electrodes were respectively 93∼94 % and 94∼95 %, and IICs of graphite and LiCo/O$_2$electrodes were 15∼17 mAH/g and 0.3∼1.7 mAh/g, respectively. IIE of graphite/LiCo/O$_2$full cell for GX25 and DJG311 as graphite showed 89∼90 %, which IIE value was lower than IIE of half cell of the cathode and the anode. Parameters of IIE and IIC$_{s}$ can also be used to represent not only half cell but also full cell. The characteristics of the full cell can be simulated through the correlative interpretation of potential profile, IIE, and IIC$_{s}$ of half cells.cells.

흑연재료를 부극으로 사용하는 리튬2차전지의 유기 전해액으로 propylene carbonate(PC) 용매를 사용하면 흑연층간에 PC의 비가역적 삽입반응으로 인하여 흑연의 exfoliation이 진행된다. 유기전해액으로 ethylene carbonate(EC)를 사용하면 이러한 문제점은 해결되지만, EC의 어는점이 $36.2^{\circ}C$로 높은 것이 단점이다. EC계 전해액에 적정 비율의 PC를 첨가한 혼합 유기 전해액은 전도도가 향상 될 수 있으며, 흑연전극의 exfoliation도 감소시킬 수 있다. EC계 전해액에 첨가한 PC 함량에 따른 유전상수 및 몰전도도를 구하였으며, 동시에 탄소부극에 대한 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. $LiPF_6/EC+DEC$ 전해액에 첨가한 PC 함량이 증가하면 유전상수와 몰전도도는 직선적으로 증가하였다. 충방전 시험결과, MCMB-6-28s및 MPCF300의 비가역비용량은 첨가한 PC함량이 $0.83\%$인 경우에는 감소하였으나, 그 이후에는 PC함량에 따라 증가하였다 MPCF3000및 PCG100의 비가역비용량은 PC함량이 $10\%$까지는 50mAh/g이하였다. 그러나, 방전비용량은 첨가한 PC 함량과 관계없이 사용한 탄소재료에 따라서 일정한 값을 나타내었다.
