A lithium-ion battery exhibits high energy density but has many limitations due to safety issues. Currently, as a solution for this, research on solid state batteries is attracting attention and is actively being conducted. Among the solid electrolytes, sulfide-based solid electrolytes are receiving much attention with high ion conductivity, but there is a limit to commercialization due to the relatively high price of lithium sulfide, which is a precursor material. This study focused on the possibility of relatively inexpensive and light lithium hydride and conducted an experiment on it. In order to analyze the characteristics of LiAlH₄, ion conductivity and thermal stability were measured, and a composites mixed with PVDF, a representative polymer electrolyte, was synthesized to confirm a change in characteristics. And metallurgical changes in the material were performed through XRD, SEM, and BET analysis, and ion conductivity and thermal stability were measured by EIS and LFA methods. As a result, Li₃AlH₆ having ion conductivity higher than LiAlH₄ is formed by the synthesis of composite materials, and thus ion conductivity is slightly improved, but thermal stability is rapidly degraded due to structural irregularity.

본 연구에서는 리튬이차전지의 음극활물질로 graphite의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 졸-겔 법에 의한 graphite/$SiO_2$ 복합소재를 제조하였다. 제조된 graphite/$SiO_2$ 합성물은 XRD, FE-SEM과 EDX를 사용하여 분석하였다. $SiO_2$에 의해 표면 개질된 graphite는 SEI 층을 안정화시키는데 장점을 보여 주었다. Graphite/$SiO_2$ 전극을 작업 전극으로, 리튬메탈을 상대전극으로 하여 리튬이차전지의 전기화학 특성을 조사하였다. $LiPF_6$ 염과 EC/DMC 용매를 전해질로 사용하여 제조한 코인 셀의 전기화학적 거동은 충방전, 사이클, 순환전압전류, 임피던스 테스트를 진행하여 평가하였다. Graphite/$SiO_2$ 전극을 사용한 리튬이차전지는 graphite 전극을 사용한 전지보다 우수한 특성을 보여주었으며, 0.1 C rate에서 465 mAh/g의 용량을 보여주었다. 또한 개질된 graphite 전극은 0.8 C rate에서 99%의 용량 보존율을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 리튬이온전지의 충방전시 발생하는 발열특성을 CFD 모델링하고, 발열에 따른 충방전 특성을 해석하였다. 리튬이온전지는 직교 파우치형 구조로서 두께방향으로의 1차원계로 설정하여, 전류밀도 방정식, 열 및 물질전달 지배방정식을 도입하였다. Cut-off 전압이 3 V에서 충방전 전류밀도가 1C($17.5A/m^2$), 3C($52.5A/m^2$) 와 5C($87.5A/m^2$)에 대하여, 298K의 등온계와 충방전 전류밀도 별 발열계로 각각 설정하였다. 등온계와 발열계에서 모두 충방전 전류밀도가 높을수록 전지의 용량은 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 등온계에 비하여 발열계에서 충방전 시간이 증가하였으며, 이는 발열에 의한 온도의 증가로 인해 전극의 평형전위가 감소하고, 리튬이온의 확산계수가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 고려된다. 또한, 리튬이온전지의 충전과 방전에 의한 열 발생 영향을 제어하기 위한 냉각효과를 분석하였다.

Electrochemical performance of Li-ion cells with $LiMn_2O_4$ cathodes and graphite anodes with carbonates electrolytes containing quaternary ammonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) is investigated. Eight different ILs based on tetraalkylammonium, pyrrolidinium or piperidinium cations paired with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate anions are examined in combination with dimethyl carbonate as a main solvent and fluoroethylene carbonate as a solid electrolyte interface forming agent. It is shown that cycling properties of the cells are strongly affected by the content of ILs in the electrolyte mixtures and its increase corresponds to lower discharge capacity retention. Since viscosity and conductivity of ILs are of a great importance for the electrolytes formulation, some kind of combined parameter should be used for the assessment of IL applicability and calculated values of Walden products for neat ILs represent one of the possible options. Besides, positive effect of ILs on reduction of flammability and enhancement of thermal stability of electrolytes in contact with charged electrodes have been demonstrated by means of self-extinguishing time test and differential scanning calorimetry respectively.

Li ion battery (LIB) is one of the most remarkable energy storage devices currently available in various applications. With a growing demand for high-performance batteries, the role of electrochemical analysis for batteries, especially, electrode reactions are becoming very important and crucial. Among various analytical methods, cyclic voltammetry (CV) is very versatile and widely used in many fields of electrochemistry. Through CV, it is possible to know electrochemical factors affecting the reaction voltage and reversibility, and furthermore, quantitative analysis on Li⁺ diffusivity as well as intercalation and capacitive reactions, and also anionic redox reaction. However, the explanation or interpretation of the results of CV is often deficient or controversial. In this mini-review, we briefly introduce the principle of cyclic voltammetry and its applications in LIB to bring a better understanding of the electrochemical reaction mechanisms involved in LIB.

In-depth knowledge of electrode processes is crucial for determining the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In particular, the conduction mechanisms of charged species in the electrodes, such as lithium ions (Li+) and electrons, are directly correlated with the performance of the battery because the overall reaction is dependent on the charge transport behavior in the electrodes. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the different electrochemical processes occurring in electrodes in order to elucidate the charge conduction phenomenon. Thus, it is essential to conduct fundamental studies on electrochemical processes to resolve the technical challenges and issues arising during the ionic and electronic conduction. Furthermore, it is also necessary to understand the transport of charged species as well as the predominant factors affecting their transport in electrodes. Based on such in-depth studies, potential approaches can be introduced to enhance the mobility of charged entities, thereby achieving superior battery performances. A clear understanding of the conduction mechanism inside electrodes can help overcome challenges associated with the rapid movement of charged species and provide a practical guideline for the development of advanced materials suitable for high-performance LIBs.

Novel characterization of thermal properties of a battery has been introduced by defining its frequency-dependent thermal impedance function. Thermal impedance function can be approximated as a thermal impedance spectrum by analyzing experimental temperature transient which is related to the thermal impedance function through Laplace transformation. In order to obtain temperature transient, a process has been devised to generate external heat pulse with heating wire and to measure the response of battery. This process is used to study several commercial Li-ion batteries of cylindrical type. The thermal impedance measurements have been performed using potentionstat/galvanostate controlled digital signal processor, which is more commonly available than flow-meter usually applied for thermal property measurements. Thermal impedance spectra obtained for batteries produced by different manufactures are found to differ considerably. Comparison of spectra at different states of charge indicates independence of thermal impedance on charging state of battery. It is shown that thermal impedance spectrum can be used to obtain simultaneously thermal capacity and thermal conductivity of battery by non-linear complex least-square fit of the spectrum to thermal impedance model. Obtained data is used to simulate a response of the battery to internal heating during discharge. It is found that temperature inside the battery is by one-third larger that on its surface. This observation has to be considered to prevent damage by overheating.

PDA, 스마트폰, USP 및 전기자동차와 같은 전기적 장치의 전력공급을 위하여 배터리가 직렬로 연결된 다중 셀을 만들어 일반적으로 사용한다. 이 경우 개별 셀 전압의 편차가 발생되면 배터리의 수명과 용량은 낮아지게 된다. 셀에서 전압의 안정화상태를 유지하기 위한 셀 전압을 안정화시키는 효율적인 방범은 없어서는 안 될 중요한 사항이다. 본 논문에서는 휴대형 가전기기에 적용하기 위해 마이크로컨트롤러를 사용한 다중 셀용 밸런싱 회로의 설계에 대하여 제안한다. 밸런싱 시스템은 충전되는 주기 동안 밸런싱 동작을 이행하며 마이크로컨트롤러로서 제어된다. 제안된 방법은 충전기와 레코드를 사용하여 실험을 통해 증명하였다. 실험결과에서 개별 배터리의 용량, 수령, 성능이 향상됨을 보여준다.

DC ${\mu}$-Grid 기반의 충/방전 시스템에서 배터리의 동작 변환 시, 망 전압의 fluctuation이 발생하게 되며, 과다한 fluctuation은 충/방전 시스템의 손상 및 고장을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DC ${\mu}$-Grid 기반의 충/방전 시스템에서 fluctuation 완화용 커패시터의 적용 및 설계 포인트에 대하여 연구하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과, 3개의 충전 배터리 set와 5개의 방전 배터리 set의 조건으로 운영되는 DC ${\mu}$-Grid 기반 충/방전 시스템에서 600V/35mF의 초기 값을 갖는 fluctuation 완화용 커패시터를 적용하였을 때 충/방전에 의한 fluctuation을 약 66.3% 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 추가적으로 초기 망 전압 안정화 시 발생하는 fluctuation 또한 약 73% 감소시킬 수 있었다.
