Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an extremely deformable structure comprising a basic displacement unit having an embedded form, in which m polygonal basic unit cells are disposed adjacent to each other, m separation parts are formed among the m basic unit cells, a junction part connecting the basic unit cells to each other is formed between the basic unit cells in which the junction part has a junction part pattern in which an external junction part disposed at the outer portion of the basic unit cell and an internal junction part which is not in contact with the outer portion of the basic unit cell are sequentially repeated, and the relative positions of the m basic unit cells are changed according to the junction part pattern, and thus, are activated (here, m is an integer of 4 or 6). Further, the present disclosure relates to a lithium secondary battery made from the extremely deformable structure.
Abstract:
A metal nanolaminate includes a plurality of units stacked in a longitudinal direction of the metal nanolaminate. Each of the units includes a first layer and a second layer stacked in the longitudinal direction. The first layer includes a first metal material formed of a first metallic element and the second layer includes the first metal material and a second metal material formed of a second metallic element. Each of the first layer and the second layer has a thickness of at least 5 nm but less than 100 nm in the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A flexible secondary battery includes an exterior member having an accommodation space inside, a cathode collector and an anode collector located in the accommodation space and spaced apart from each other, a cathode active material portion on the cathode collector, and an anode active material portion on the anode collector. The cathode collector includes a first connection portion extending in a first direction and a plurality of first leg portions protruding from the first connection portion in a second direction different from the first direction. The anode collector includes a second connection portion parallel to the first connection portion and a plurality of second leg portions protruding from the second connection portion toward the first connection portion. The first leg portions and the second leg portions are alternately arranged between the first connection portion and the second connection portion. The cathode active material portion is located only on the first leg portions. The anode active material portion is located on the second connection portion and the second leg portions.
Abstract:
Provided are a negative electrode used for a secondary battery and capable of solving a problem caused by volume expansion of a lithium-negative electrode material alloy, and a manufacturing method thereof. A method of manufacturing a negative electrode for a secondary battery includes preparing a substrate, forming one or more nanorods by etching the substrate with an etching gas including oxygen, forming a metal electrode on the substrate and the nanorods, and forming a negative electrode active material layer on the metal electrode.
Abstract:
Provided are a shape changeable material and a shape changeable electrode including the same, wherein a material having a 2-dimensional (2D) shape obtained when the material is activated by a predetermined stimulus using structural and hierarchical characteristics of the shape changeable material is provided. The shape changeable material provides a material that has various 2D inherent shapes by changing a hierarchical structure of displacement units or a joint pattern, is used as a flexible material or a stretchable material, and may be closely adhered on a curved surface without a lifting. Also, by further forming a coating layer having electric conductivity, an electrode having characteristics of the shape changeable material may be provided.
