Gachon University Graduate School of Nanoscience and Technology Convergence Ph.D. student Lee Yoo-na won the Young Women Scientist Award at the 2014 Korea Ceramics Fall Conference held from October 15 to 17 at the Ocean Resort in Yeosu.

The Fall Conference of the Korean Ceramic Society, which marks its 57th anniversary this year, is an academic conference to inform the research results obtained through experiments related to ceramic energy technology and to exchange research information. It is evaluated that more than 1,000 participants and 700 papers were published, giving an in-depth discussion about domestic ceramic technology.

At this conference, student Lee Yu-na presented "Characteristics evaluation of LiCoO2 cathode thin film for all-solid-state batteries according to β-ray irradiation" and awarded the WISET KCerS Young Female Researcher Award to only four female scientists with excellent research level.

Professor Youngsoo Yoon said, “This is one of the core research on next-generation ultra-high stability secondary batteries, and it served as an opportunity to inform the academia and industry that the research level of our graduate school has reached a considerable level.”

In addition, Seyong Park (Master's course 1 / Department of Nano Science and Technology Convergence), who is actively conducting cooperative research with domestic companies, foreign universities, and nationally funded research institutes, presented a work titled "Platinum Sesame Attached to Carbon Nanotubes" at this conference. He also received the Yangsong Ceramography Excellence Award, which selects two of her entries.

Meanwhile, Professor Yoon Young-soo (Department of Chemical and Biotechnology), who is an advisor to the Energy Materials Lab of the Department of Nano Science and Technology Convergence, participated as the chairperson of the solid-state battery session at this conference. Next, research professor Ji Seung-hyeon gave an invited lecture on all-solid-state rechargeable batteries and presented 2 student research topics, 5 posters, and 2 ceramography to present the research results.

Trace (052290) announced on the 5th that it has succeeded in implementing flexible battery technology. Accordingly, it is said that large-scale beneficiaries are expected from market growth in the future.

A Trace official said, “In order to respond to the era of flexible and wearable IT, we have been continuously researching and developing flexible touch screens as well as batteries. Based on the ductility film technology and 3D manufacturing technology that we have accumulated over the years, we have succeeded in realizing a flexible battery and are expected to benefit from market growth in the future.”

The new technology implemented this time is a core technology required for the flexible battery film, which is the first stage goal of Trace, and is a technology in which an electrode thin film and electrolyte are mounted on a circular coin. Trace has succeeded in constructing a flexible electrode using this technology and is known to have completed the operation characteristic test.

Trace is currently working on the next step, an exposed, external flexible battery package, and will show operational performance soon.

Meanwhile, Trace has been striving for commercial development of flexible batteries, such as launching the Center for Flexible, Rechargeable Energy Storage Technology (FREST) research center last month and signing a joint development contract with Gachon University's Battery Energy Conversion Technology Research Center.

FREST Research Institute is aiming to develop flexible battery film in the first stage, and in the future, the second stage is the development of a flexible secondary battery package, and the third stage is the mass production of flexible secondary battery commercial products.

Our company is equipped with touch screen thin film, flexible material and 3D manufacturing technology. Based on that technology, a contract was signed with the current Gachon University Professor Yoon Young-soo, who is the best scholar in the domestic thin film battery and lithium battery field, and the Gachon University Battery and Energy Conversion Research Institute. The contents were about the joint development of flexible batteries and the transfer of commercialization technology, and the agreement was signed on the 24th.

Through this, we will advance to the forefront of the flexible battery field, which is one of the core fields, along with the display touch field for wearable and flexible devices based on the best domestic researchers and manufacturing technology.

In the near future, we will be able to empathize with the future of trace and flexible through the demonstration.

We attended the Korean Military Science and Technology Association meeting held at ICC in Jeju Island on June 18-20, 2014.
