Abstract
Poly(ethyleneglycol diacrylate)(PEGDA) or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2EHA)-based gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs) which have a solid content in the range of 8∼54 wt% were synthesized and their ionic conductivity and electrochemical properties were measured at room temperature. It was observed that the ionic conductivity over 1×10^(-3) S/cm was obtained in a homogeneous PEGDA-based GPE with 21 wt% of solid content. However the electrochemical stability of the GPE was lower than that of a liquid electrolyte. The presence of AIBN initiator which can produce a N2 gas during polymerization process might be the reason of this low oxidation decomposition potential. As an alternative, benzoyl peroxide was used as an initiator and GPE with enhanced electrochemical stability was obtained. Finally, the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase on a graphite anode was evidenced by cyclic voltammetry measurement.

Poly(ethyleneglycol diacrylate)(PEGDA) 혹은 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2EHA)를 기반으로 하는 고체함 량 8∼54 wt%의 젤 고분자 전해질(GPE)을 합성하여 상온 이온전도도 및 전기화학적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 투명하고 균일한 젤을 형성하는 21 wt%의 PEGDA계에서 1×10^(-3) S/cm 이상의 높은 상온 이온전도도를 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 GPE는 액체전해액에 비해 낮은 전압안정성을 보여주었는데, 고분자 합성과정에서 개시제인 AIBN에 원인이 있음을 제안하였다. 그 결과 BPO를 개시제로 사용하여 전압안정성이 향상된 GPE를 확보할 수 있었다. 또한 음극에서 리튬이온의 삽입과 탈리가 용이하면서 환원분해전위에 안정한 계면피막이 형성되었음을 확인하였다.
