Abstract:
Disclosed is an electrolyte solution for a magnesium rechargeable battery with a high ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical window compared to the conventional electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution is prepared by dissolving magnesium metal into the ethereal solution using combinations of metal chloride catalysts. The electrolyte solution can be applied to fabricate magnesium rechargeable batteries and magnesium hybrid batteries with a markedly increased reversible capacity, rate capability, and cycle life compared to those batteries employing the conventional electrolyte solution. Also disclosed is a method for preparing the electrolyte.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a lithium manganese borate-based cathode active material. The cathode active material can be used to fabricate a lithium ion secondary battery that has advantages, such as high output capacity and cycle capacity, in comparison with lithium ion secondary batteries using conventional cathode active materials. Also disclosed are a lithium ion secondary battery including the cathode active material and a method for preparing the cathode active material.
Abstract:
A preparation method of a hollow carbon sphere includes preparing a hollow carbon sphere including fine pores by using mold particles and a material including metal-phthalocyanine. The prepared hollow carbon sphere has a carbon shell surface including fine pores, and the hollow carbon sphere may be impregnated with sulfur to prepare a carbon shell-sulfur composite and may be utilized as an anode material of a lithium-sulfur secondary battery. The carbon-sulfur composite material may improve extremely low electrical conductivity of sulfur, confine sulfur and lithium polysulfide originated from sulfur in the carbon shell in which fine pores are distributed to prevent lithium polysulfide having an extended chain structure from being dissolved in an electrolyte, minimize a shuttle reaction, reduce an overcharge amount between charging and discharging, and improve performance of a secondary battery. In addition, a method for mass-producing hollow carbon sphere and carbon shell-sulfur composite material is provided.
