Design of Non-Flammable Electrolytes for Highly Safe Lithium-Ion Battery

전기자동차, 하이브리드 및 플러그 인 전기자동차 등과 같은 대용량 전력공급을 요하는 영역으로의 리튬 이온전지의 응용을 위해서는 우수한 전지 신뢰성 및 안전성이 요구되어진다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위해서는 전지 구성 성분들은 대전류가 흐르는 조건 하에서 불가피하게 발생되는 열에 대한 저항성이 있어야 한다. 그러나 리튬 염을 해리하는 기능을 갖는 카보네이트계 유기 용매는 휘발성이 높고, 가연성 물질이기 때문에 오용 조건에서 전지의 발화, 폭발 등과 같은 열폭주 현상을 억제하지 못하고 연료로 작용하기 때문에 전지의 안전성에 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 최근 전지의 안전성을 향상시키기 수단으로 난연성 소재에 대한 관심도가 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 총설에서는 난연성 전해액을 설계하기 위한 최근 연구내용을 소개하고자 한다. 액체 전해액의 난연화는 유기용매 일부를 난연성 소재로 대체하는 것에 의해 이루어질 수 있으며 난연제, 불소화 유기용매 및 이온성 액체를 사용하는 접근방법을 통해 전지의 고안전성을 실현할 수 있을 것이다. 【The development of lithium-ion battery (LIB) technologies and their application in the field of large-scale power sources, such as electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid EVs, and plug-in EVs require enhanced reliability and superior safety. The main components of LIBs should withstand to the inevitable heating of batteries during high current flow. Carbonate solvents that contribute to the dissociation of lithium salts are volatile and potentially combustible and can lead to the thermal runaway of batteries at any abuse conditions. Recently, an interest in nonflammable materials is greatly growing as a means for improving battery safety. In this review paper, novel approaches are described for designing highly safe electrolytes in detail. Non-flammability of liquid electrolytes and battery safety can be achieved by replacing flammable organic solvents with thermally resistive materials such as flame-retardants, fluorinated organic solvents, and ionic liquids.】

Development of a 32‐in. slim CRT with 125° deflection

— Today, CRT markets are being threatened by flat-panel displays (FPDs) even though the screen quality of the CRT is one of the best of existing display devices. The depth of CRTs is one of its most important design factors to maintain its dominant position in the display market. Thus, a 32-in.-wide deflection-angle 125° CRT (tube length of 360 mm) has been developed, and mass production began in January 2005. Wide deflection requires more advanced design of the major parts and reliable facilities in the production line. In this paper, new designs, mainly for deflection yokes and electron guns, will be introduced, which are considered the most difficult to design. These wide-deflection CRTs attracted an extraordinary amount of attention even from end users in a variety of display shows last year and will help maintain the solid positions of CRTs in the coming era.

48.1: Distinguished Contributed Paper: Development of a 32‐in. Wide‐Deflection‐Angle CRT(125 deg)

We developed a 32inch wide-deflection-angle CRT of 125 degree (Tube length 360mm) and started mass production from this January. Wide deflection requires much advanced design of major parts and facilities in production line. In this paper, we will mainly introduce new designs for DYs and Electron Guns considered to be the most difficult. These wide deflection CRTs attracted extraordinary strong supports from even end users in a variety of display shows last year. We expect they would maintain the solid position of CRTs in the coming era of display device competition.
