Abstract

A mechanochemical process to synthesize single-crystalline cathode powders for the formation of cathodes in a lithium-ion battery includes mixing a transient metal oxide precursor with a lithium salt mixture. Thereafter, a mechanical agitation process may be applied to selectively melt the lithium salt mixture to form a molten salt liquid that wets, corrodes, and separates the grain boundaries of secondary particles in the transient metal oxide precursor. As a result, the secondary particles are deagglomerated resulting in a colloidal dispersion of primary particles. The mixture is then calcined to facilitate growth of single-crystalline particles from the primary particles, thus forming a single-crystalline cathode powder. The single-crystalline particles exhibit large particle size and little to no phase separation, thus improving electrochemical performance. This highly scalable process can be used to synthesize single-crystalline cathode powders from chemical-grade precursors or black mass.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a separator, provided with a porous coating layer comprising multiple types of binder resins, for an electrochemical device, and a method for manufacturing same. The separator according to the present invention has a high adhesive force between an electrode and the separator even if a separate adhesive layer is not disposed on the surface of the separator. In addition, the separator is higher in electrode-separator adhesive force than a separator to which a conventionally used fluorine-based binder resin, such as polyvinylidene fluoride, etc., is applied. Therefore, the introduction of the separator into a battery allows the fabrication of an electrode assembly in mild conditions for temperatures and pressures and exhibits the effect of improving assembly productivity and reducing the defective rate to increase the yield. Furthermore, since the separator according to the present invention does not have a separate adhesive layer formed therein, the interfacial resistance between the separator and the electrode can be lowered, and the affinity for the electrolyte is high compared to semi-crystalline polymers such as a fluorine-based binder resin, etc. so that there is an effect of improving the output characteristics of the battery.

Abstract

The present invention relates to: a separator, which is for an electrochemical element and provided with a porous coating layer including several types of binder resins; and a method for manufacturing same. The adhesiveness between the separator according to the present application and an electrode is high even when a separate adhesive layer is not disposed on the surface of the separator. Also, the adhesiveness between the electrode and the separator is greater than that between the electrode and a typical separator to which a fluorine-based binder resin such as polyvinylidene fluoride is applied. Thus, using the separator in a battery has the effects of allowing an electrode assembly to be manufactured under mild temperature and pressure conditions and improving the assembly productivity thereof, and decreasing the rate of defects and thus increasing yield. Also, the present invention has the effects in which: the interface resistance between the separator and the electrode can be reduced because a separate adhesive layer is not formed on the separator; and output characteristics of the battery are improved due to the high affinity with electrolytes compared to semi-crystalline polymers such as fluorine-based binder resins.

Abstract

A microfluidic device, a microfluidic system and a method for controlling a microfluidic test device are provided. The microfluidic device includes a rotatable platform including a sample chamber to which a sample is supplied, a first reagent chamber; a first capture conjugate disposed in the first reagent chamber and configured to capture a target material contained in the sample; a second reagent chamber; a signal material disposed in the second reagent chamber and configured to be electrochemically induced by the first capture conjugate; a reaction chamber providing an area in which a biochemical reaction between the sample and the signal material supplied occurs when the platform rotates; a second capture material disposed in the reaction chamber and configured to capture the target material; a detection chamber separated from the reaction chamber, the detection chamber comprising a detector configured to detect an electrochemical signal generated by the signal material; and a plurality of channels connecting the chambers.
