Lithium-ion batteries have a small volume, light weight and high energy density, maximizing the utilization of mobile devices. It is widely used for various purposes such as electric bicycles and scooters (e-Mobility), mass energy storage (ESS), and electric and hybrid vehicles. To date, lithium-ion batteries have grown to focus on increasing energy density and reducing production costs in line with the required capacity. However, the research and development level of lithium-ion batteries seems to have reached the limit in terms of energy density. In addition, the charging time is an important factor for using lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it was urgent to develop a high-speed charger to shorten the charging time. In this thesis, a discharger was fabricated to evaluate the capacity and characteristics of Li-ion battery pack which can be used for e-mobility. To achieve this, a smart discharger is designed with a combination of active load, current sensor, and temperature sensor. To carry out this thesis, an active load switching using sensor control circuit, signal processing circuit, and FET was designed and manufactured as hardware with the characteristics of active discharger. And as software for controlling the hardware of the active discharger, a Raspberry Pi control device and a touch screen program were designed. The developed discharger is designed to change the 600W capacity battery in the form of active load.

유기이차전지가 가지고 있는 전극 내 낮은 접합력과 높은 계면저항의 단점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 흑연 코팅 처리된 집전체를 사용하여 lithium terephthalate (LTA)전지의 전기화학적 특성 변화를 분석하였다. LTA 음극 활물질은 산의 이온 치환반응에 의하여 불순물 없이 합성되어 졌다. 막대 형태의 LTA 활물질로 제작된 전극과 흑연 코팅 처리된 집전체와의 접합특성은 SEM 단면과 EIS를 통하여 확인하였다. 흑연 코팅된 집전체를 사용한 LTA전지의 계면저항은 현저히 감소되었다. 순수한 금속 집전체 LTA 전지와 흑연 코팅 처리된 금속 기판 LTA 전지는 0.1C의 두 번째 사이클에서 107.6 mAh/g와 148.8 mAh/g의 방전 용량을 보인다. 흑연 코팅된 집전체를 사용한 LTA 전지는 순수한 LTA 전지에 비하여 우수한 수명 특성과 높은 방전 용량, 그리고 높은 고율 특성을 가진다.

리튬/유황 전지 반응에서 리튬-폴리설파이드(Lithium polysulfide)는 사이클이 반복될수록 전해액에 해리되어 전지 수명을 저하시키는 큰 원인으로 작용한다. 액체 상태인 리튬-폴리설파이드가 전해액에 용해되지 않도록 유황을 담지하고 리튬-폴리설파이드의 흡착을 유도, 추가로 전도도까지 높일 수 있는 비표면적이 큰 다공성 탄소를 모색했다. 본 논문에서는 비표면적이 큰 다공성 탄소 구체를 얻기 위해 추가로 KOH 처리를 통해 1939 m²/g의 탄소 구체를 2200 m²/g으로 높였다. 또한, 유황과의 열처리를 통해 75wt%의 유황이 함유된 탄소 유황 화합물을 만들어 양극재료 사용가능성에 대한 물질 분석을 진행했다. Reference (622; 유황: 60%, 도전재: 20%, 바인더: 20%) 파우치 셀과 75 wt%의 탄소 유황 화합물을 이용하여 만든 파우치 셀의 전기화학적 특성 분석을 진행하였다. 이는 50 사이클 기준으로 Reference 대비 20%의 수명 증가와 10%의율 특성 향상을 보였다.

One important test for formation and grading of the lithium-ion battery is to confirm the performance of the battery while discharging battery down to zero volts. In this paper, a novel charge/discharge converter with zero-voltage discharge function is proposed. The proposed converter is able to discharge the battery until the voltage reaches to zero volts. The phase-shifted full bridge method is used to charge the battery and the current-fed push-pull method with bidirectional switches is used for the discharge. The ZVS turn-on is achieved in the charge operation and the ZVS turn-off in the discharge operation. The performance of the system is verified by the experiments using lithium-ion batteries.

With increasing interest in flexible electronic devices and wearable appliances, flexible lithium ion batteries are the most attractive candidates for flexible energy sources. During the last decade, many different kinds of flexible batteries have been reported. Although research of flexible lithium ion batteries is in its earlier stages, we have found that developing components that satisfy performance conditions under external deformation stress is a critical key to the success of flexible energy sources. Among the major components of the lithium ion battery, electrodes, which are connected to the current collectors, are gaining the most attention owing to their rigid and brittle character. In this mini review, we discuss candidate materials for current collectors and the previous strategies implemented for flexible electrode fabrication.

There are many efforts to improve electrolytes to satisfy the requirements of a lithium rechargeable battery. We have investigated a binary solvent mixture containing the electrolyte lithium salt($LiBF_4$, $LiPF_6$), that is conductive and electrochemically stable. Ionic conductivities were measured between -5 and $80^{\circ}C$, and cyclic voltammetry between 2.5 and 4.3 V were measured by SUS or platinum electrode.

This paper presents a simple and cost-effective stand-alone rapid battery charging system of 30kW for electric vehicles. The proposed system mainly consists of active front-end rectifier of neutral point clamped 3-level type and non-isolated bi-directional dc-dc converter of multi-phase interleaved half-bridge topology. The charging system is designed to operate for both lithium-polymer and lithium-ion batteries. The complete charging sequence is made up of three sub-interval operating modes; pre-charge mode, constant-current mode, and constant-voltage mode. The pre-charge mode employs the stair-case shaped current profile to accomplish shorter charging time while maintaining the reliable operation of the battery. The proposed system is specified to reach the full-charge state within less than 16min for the battery capacity of 8kWh by supplying the charging current of 78A. Owing to the simple and compact power conversion scheme, the proposed solution has superior module-friendly mechanical structure which is absolutely required to realize flexible power expansion capability in a very high-current rapid charging system.

A simple design for a sliding mode observer is proposed for EV lithium battery SOC estimation in this paper. The proposed observer does not have the limiting conditions of existing observers. Compared to the design of previous sliding mode observers, the new observer does not require a solving matrix equation and it does not need many observers for all of the state components. As a result, it is simple in terms of calculations and convenient for engineering applications. The new observer is suitable for both time-variant and time-invariant models of battery SOC estimation, and the robustness of the new observer is proved by Liapunov stability theorem. Battery tests are performed with simulated FUDS cycles. The proposed observer is used for the SOC estimation on both unchanging parameter and changing parameter models. The estimation results show that the new observer is robust and that the estimation precision can be improved base on a more accurate battery model.

The carbon-coated Si/Cu powder has been prepared by mechanical ball milling and hydrocarbon gas decomposition methods. The phase of Si/Cu powder was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dispersive Raman spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The carbon-coated Si/Cu powders were used as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical properties were investigated by charge/discharge test using commercial LiCo$O_2$ cathode and lithium foil electrode, respectively. The surface phase of Si/Cu powders consisted of carbon phase like the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a spacing layer of 0.35 nm. The carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode exhibited a higher capacity than commercial graphite anode. However, the cyclic efficiency and the capacity retention of the composite anode were lower compared with graphite anode as cycling proceeds. This effect may be attributed to some mass limitations in LiCo$O_2$ cathode materials during the cycling.
