Abstract

본 연구에서는 친수화 처리된 격리막을 이용한 니켈수소전지의 전기화학적 특성을 연구하였다. 수계 전해액을 사용하는 니켈수소전지로의 적용을 위해 폴리올레핀계 분리막을 친수화 처리하였다. 친수화 미처리품은 방전성능, 용량보존성, 내구성 등의 전기화학적 성능에서 KS 규격기준에 미달되었지만 친수화 처리품은 KS 규격기준을 모두 만족시켰다. 친수화 처리품을 적용한 모든 시료는 유사한 전지성능을 보여주었다. 그 중 술폰화 처리 시료의 경우 용량 보존율(>88%) 측면에서 가장 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 불소화 처리시료는 내구성 측면에서 가장 우수한 성능을 보였는데, 이는 KS 규격기준(500회)과 비교할 때 약 3배 정도(1480회)의 우수한 성능을 유지함을 확인하였다.

It was investigated the electrochemical characteristics of the Ni-MH battery by hydrophilic process. For adopting the Ni-MH battery in water-electrolyte, polyolefin separator was processed the hydrophilic treatment. No treatment sample did not meet KS standard (KSC 8544) but hydrophilic treatment ones satisfied with the KS standard in electrochemical characteristics, such as discharge performance, retention capacity, and cycle performance. All hydrophilic treatment samples showed similar battery performances. Among them, sulfonation treatment sample exhibited the highest value in aspect of capacity retention rate (> 88%). Furthermore, fluoride treatment sample showed the best cycle performance during battery test. This sample maintained a good cycling performance until 1,480th cycle, which was about 3 times as compared with that of KS standard (500 cycle).
