  • Publication number: 20240132375
    Abstract: A positive electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery has secondary micro particles having an average particle size (D50) of 1 to 10 ?m formed by agglomeration of primary macro particles having an average particle size (D50) of 0.5 to 3 ?m and a lithium-M oxide coating layer on all or part of a surface, wherein M is at least one selected from the group consisting of boron, cobalt, manganese and magnesium. The secondary macro particles have an average particle size (D50) of 5 to 20 ?m formed by agglomeration of primary micro particles having a smaller average particle size (D50) than the primary macro particles. The primary macro particles and the primary micro particles are represented by LiaNi1?b?c?dCobMncQdO2+?, wherein 1.0?a?1.5, 0<b<0.2, 0<c<0.2, 0?d?0.1, 0<b+c+d?0.2, ?0.1???1.0, and Q is at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of Al, Mg, V, Ti and Zr.

  • Patent number: 11962321
    Abstract: There is provided an analog-stochastic converter for converting an analog voltage signal into a pulse signal having a corresponding probability. The analog-stochastic converter is implemented using a threshold switching element and a simple logic circuit, thereby reducing a size of the analog-stochastic converter and enabling a low power operation thereof. In addition, in order to update a weight, instead of an analog signal, a probability signal is applied using the above-described analog-stochastic converter, thereby updating a weight in a fully-parallel manner in a synaptic element array having an intersection structure. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten a time for weight update.

  • Publication number: 20240105934
    Abstract: A positive electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery has a mixture of microparticles having a predetermined average particle size (D50) and macroparticles having a larger average particle size (D50) than the microparticles. The microparticles have the average particle size (D50) of 1 to 10 ?m and are at least one selected from the group consisting of particles having a carbon material coating layer on all or part of a surface of primary macroparticles having an average particle size (D50) of 1 ?m or more, particles having a carbon material coating layer on all or part of a surface of secondary particles formed by agglomeration of the primary macroparticles, and a mixture thereof. The macroparticles are secondary particles having an average particle size (D50) of 5 to 20 ?m formed by agglomeration of primary microparticles having a smaller average particle size (D50) than the primary macroparticles.

  • Patent number: 11925922
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of improving the corrosion resistance of a metal substrate surface using an oxygen reduction catalyst, which may improve the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate surface by coating the metal substrate surface with the oxygen reduction catalyst so that the metal substrate surface is changed to a passive state through the action of the oxygen reduction catalyst in an environment in which a stable oxide layer is not spontaneously formed on the metal substrate surface. The present invention has an advantage in that it can dramatically improve the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate under a corrosive environment by allowing a recoverable oxide layer to be formed on the metal substrate surface through the action of the oxygen reduction catalyst, applied to the surface, even in an environment in which an oxide layer is not spontaneously formed on the metal substrate.
