Abstract: Disclosed is a bipolar all solid-state battery, which can efficiently control a manufacturing process thereof and can improve electric properties thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the bipolar all solid-state battery includes a unit cell including a first current collector having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a first active material coated on the first surface of the first current collector, a second current collector having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a second active material coated on the first surface of the second current collector and facing the first active material; and an all solid-state electrolyte formed between the first active material and the second active material. When a plurality of the unit cells are stacked, the first current collector and the second current collector are connected to each other through surface contact.

Abstract: Provided are a mixed cathode active material having improved power characteristics and safety, and a lithium secondary battery including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mixed cathode active material which may assist power in a low SOC range to widen an available state of charge (SOC) range and may simultaneously provide improved safety by blending substituted LFP, in which operating voltage is adjusted by substituting a portion of iron (Fe) with other elements such as titanium (Ti), in order to prevent a rapid increase in resistance of manganese (Mn)-rich having high capacity but low operating voltage in a low SOC range (e.g., a SOC range of 10% to 40%), and a lithium secondary battery including the mixed cathode active material.

Abstract: The present invention features a high-capacity anode material for rapidly chargeable and dischargeable lithium secondary batteries, which is composed of Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles. The Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles of the present invention exhibit excellent crystallinity and high rate capability compared to those synthesized using a conventional polyol process or solid reaction process by converting Li4Ti5O12, which is a zero-strain insert material spotlighted as an anode active material for lithium secondary batteries, into Li4Ti5O12, having a high crystalline nanostructure using a solvothermal synthesis process without performing additional heat treatment. The present invention also features methods of, and a method of preparing the high-capacity anode materials described herein.

Abstract: Provided is a lithium secondary battery in which a separator is not provided. The lithium secondary battery includes a cathode in which a cathode active material layer is formed on a cathode current collector; an anode in which an anode active material layer is formed on an anode current collector; and an inorganic layer positioned between the cathode and the anode facing each other and containing inorganic particles and a binder. The inorganic layer is in a state in which the inorganic layer is bound to both of the cathode active material layer and the anode active material layer.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a method of synthesizing nano scale electrode materials using an ultrafast combustion technique and nano scale electrode materials synthesized using the method. The method does not require a process of annealing reaction products required for synthesis of electrode materials or any other additional processes, such as cleaning, filtering, and drying processes, so that it can take only several seconds to several minutes to obtain a resultant product.
