리튬이온전지용 $LiCoO_2$ 전극의 super s black 도전재료의 함량에 따른 초기 충방전 특성을 1 mol/l $LiPF_6/EC+DEC(1:3;by;w/w)$의 전해액에서 리튬기준전극에 대하여 4.3 V에서 2.0 V의 전위 구간에 대하여 C/4 및 C/2율로 충방전하여 측정하였다. 최초의 충전과정에서 high impedance충전 특성을 보였으며, super s black도전재료를 $3\%w/w$ 사용한 경우, $0.5 mA/cm^2$ 전류밀도의 충전에서 high impedance의 해소에 따라 $3.82;{Omega};{cdot};g-LiCoCo_2$의 저항 감소를 나타내었으며, $0.728;{Omega}{cdot}g-LiCoCo_2$의 전극저항과 비교하여 약 7배 높은 값을 나타내었다. 제2차 충전에의 high impedance해소는 약 $63;{Omega}{cdot}g-LiCoCo_2$으로서 전극저항의 $12\%$ 정도이며, 제1차 충전의 high impedance해소에 비하여 $1.7\%$의 수준으로 감소하였다. 제1차 충전 및 방전 비용량은 C/4방전율에서 각각 160-161 및 $153~155mAh/g-LiCoO_2$으로, 쿨롱효율은 $95.4~96.4\%$였으며, 비가역 비용량은 약 6 mAh/g-$LiCoO_2$였다. 충전종료 지점에서 측정한 비저항은 도전재료 함량 $2~7\%w/w$범위에서 낮은 값을 나타내어 비가역 비용량 특성의 변화와 일치하였다. 도전재료의 함량 증가에 따라 용량밀도가 감소하였으며, C/4율 방전에서 super s black함량 $2\%w/w$와 $2.9\%w/w$의 도전재료를 사용한 전극의 용량밀도는 각각 447mAh/ml 및 431 mAh/ml였다
Initial electrochemical characteristics of $LiCoO_2$ electrode for lithium ion battery with various content of super s black as conductive material were evaluated through the charge/discharge with the potential range of 4.3V to 2.0V versus $Li^+/Li^+$. The rate of C/4 and C/2 by the 3 electrode test cell composed with an electrolytic solution of 1 mol/l $LiPF_6/EC+DEC(1:3;by; weight)$. Lithium was used as reference electrode. High impedance charge behavior was observed at early stage of charge. In the case of $3\%w/w$ of super s black as conductive material, the specific resistance of the high impedance releasing was $3.82;{Omega};{cdot};g-LiCoCo_2$ at the current density of $0.5 mA/cm^2$, which corresponds 7 times of the specific resistance of electrode $(0.728 g-LiCoO_2)$. At second charge, the specific resistance of the high impedance releasing was 63 mn · g-Lico02, which corresponds 12eio of the specific resistance of electrode and only $1.7\%$ of that of the first charge. The first charge and discharge specific capacities at C/4 rate were 160-161 and $153~155mAh/g-LiCoO_2$, respectively, to lead $95.4~96.4\%$ of coulombic efficiencies and ca. $6 mAh/g-LiCoO_2$ of initial irreversible specific capacity. Specific resistance at the end of charge and rest showed low value at content of super s black between 2 and $7\%w/w$, which agreed with characteristics of irreversible specific capacity. Capacity densities were reduced by the increasing the content of conductive material. They were 447 and 431mAh/ml when 2 and $2.9\%w/w$ of super s black were used, respectively, at the rate of C/4.
