In this paper, a novel scheme for the condition monitoring of lithium polymer batteries is proposed, based on the sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF) theory. For this, a runtime-based battery model is derived, from which the state-of-charge (SOC) and the capacity of the battery are accurately predicted. By considering the variation of the serial ohmic resistance ($R_o$) in this model, the estimation performance is improved. Furthermore, with the SPKF, the effects of the sensing noise and disturbance can be compensated and the estimation error due to linearization of the nonlinear battery model is decreased. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by Matlab/Simulink simulation and experimental results. The results have shown that in the range of a SOC that is higher than 40%, the estimation error is about 1.2% in the simulation and 1.5% in the experiment. In addition, the convergence time in the SPKF algorithm can be as fast as 300 s.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte with plasticizer is very unstable. Passivation phenomena in polymer electrolyte cell was described by the SPL model. The time dependance of the impedance indicates that a passivation layer grows rapidly on the Li surface. However, the growing of passivation layer on the Li surface can be restrained by addition of zeolite to the PEO electrolyte. It suggested that addition of zeoliteto to the PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte effectively controls the formation of a passivation layer on Li electrode.

The Lithium ion secondary battery has been developed for high energy density of portable electrical device and electronics. Among the many conductive polymer materials, the positive active film for Li polymer battery system was synthesized successfully from polyphenylene diamine(PPD) by chemical polymerization in our lab. And PPD-DMcT(2, 5-dimercapto-1, 3, 4-thi-adiazole) composite flim conductive material, at high temperature was also prerared with the addition of dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO). The surface morphology and thermal stability of prepared composite flim was carried out by using SEM and TGA, respectively. Electrochemical and electrical conductivity of composite flim were also discussed by cyclic voltammetry and four-probe method in dry box(<27pm). And the electrode reaction mechanism was detected and analyzed from the half cell unit battery system.

Gel polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared from blends of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA), by solution-cast technique. The PAA content in the blend varied from 30 to 80 wt%. With the gel polymer electrolyte membranes, Zn air batteries were fabricated. The gel polymer electrolyte membranes were characterized by means of stress-strain test, impedance test. The Zn air batteries were tested by current interrupt method and galvanostatic discharge method. The tensile strength and tensile modulus decreased with increasing PAA content in the gel polymer electrolyte membrane. On the other hand, the ionic conductivity increased with increasing PAA content. The effect of ionic conductivity trend of the gel polymer electrolyte membrane in the Zn air battery was confirmed through current interrupt method and galvanostatic discharge method experiments. The battery with higher PAA content gel polymer electrolyte membrane showed lower IR drop and higher discharge capacity.

The gasket materials of for the lithium ion battery requires chemical resistance to electrolyte, electrical insulating, compression set, anti-contamination and low temperature property. To check the special characteristics of fillers which are applied to rubber for gasket, compound of EPDM, NBR and FKM (fluoro elastomer) were made by adjusting weights of carbon black and silica additive. Using these compounds, we had done tests of long-term stability against electrolyte, compression set and low-temperature property with considering operating condition of the lithium ion battery. From this test, we investigated the physical and chemical characteristics of rubber with using of carbon black and silica additive in each.

The battery electrode of a mobile phone is made of layered polymer coated on aluminum foils and the hot rolling process is applied to increase the density per volume of an electrode for a high capacity battery. The flatness of batteries surfaces should be less than $2{\mu}m$. To satisfy the required flatness, the deformation of roll surface due to bending and heating of the roll should be minimized. Complicated hot oil paths of $100^{\circ}C$ inside the roll are required for heating the polymer layers. FEA was used to calculate thermal deformations and temperatures distributions of the roller. Based on FEA, a modified surface curvature called a crown roll was suggested and this gave the area of 30% improved flatness compared with a flat roll. The flat roll satisfied the flatness of $2{\mu}m$ in the length of 340 mm and the crown roll resulted in the longer length of 460 mm. Experiments to measure the temperature distribution and thermal strain were performed and compared with FEA. There were only 6% difference between two results.

Poly(1', 4'-phenylene-1", 4"-(2"-(2""-ethyl-hexyloxy)) phenylene-1",4"-phenylene-2,5-oxadiazolyl) (PPEPPO) was synthesized and its electrochemical characteristics was investigated as electrode material in redox supercapacitor. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows there was scarcely a redox reaction and further suggests n-doping is difficult to occur in this system. However, the discharge curve between 3.0 to 0.01 V is continuously decreased like a straight line, similar to the discharge pattern of EDLC. The initial specific discharge capacitance is ~6.4 F/g, while the specific capacitance of 1000th cycle is ~0.1 F/g. The PPEPPO can be used as the electrode of supercapacitor, emissive material, as well as charge-transporting material in polymer LED.ansporting material in polymer LED.

In recent years, the rapid growth of portable electronic device market requires higher density characteristics of batteries. The speed at which portability and mobility is advancing hinges much on the battery. What is important is this energy source that engineers design handled devices around the battery, rather than the other way around. Much improvement has been made in reducing the power consumption of portable devices. Currently, the most popular secondary battery is Li-ion battery. Li-ion has won the limelight and become the most prominent battery. This paper reviews the prospect and future of the Li-ion battery.
