$LiCoO_2$, a cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries, was prepared in a nanoscale through a simple sonochemistry. First, $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles were prepared by reacting NaOH and $CoCl_2$ or $CoSO_4$ with a sonochemical method, operated at 20 kHz and 220 W for 20 min, very powerful multibubble sonoluminescence conditions for chemical reactions. Second, LiOH was coated onto the $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles by the same method as above. Finally, $LiCoO_2$ nanoparticles of about 10~30 nm size in diameter were obtained by the thermal treatment of the resulting LiOH-coated $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr. This synthetic process is relatively quite mild and simple compared to the known method for the synthesis of $LiCoO_2$ nanoparticles. The materials synthesized were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma spectrometer, and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy analyses.

페리튬이온전지로부터 회수된 코발트와 리튬 침출액으로부터 화염분부열분해법에 의하여 $LiCoO_{2}$ 나노분말을 제조하였다. 리튬 및 코발트 성분을 함유하는 전극물질은 열처리 및 기계적 처리에 의해 그 농도를 증가 시켰다. 리튬이온전지 양극물질을 질산으로 용해한 다음 침출액중 Li과 Co의 당량비가 1.0 되도록 $LiNO_{3}$로 조절하여 화염분무열분해용 전구체를 제조하었다. 화염분무열분해법에 의해 제조된 $LiCoO_{2}$ 분말의 평균입자크기는 전구체의 몰 농도가 증가하면서 증가되었으며, 화염온도 역시 입자의 크기를 증가시켰다. 변수실험 결과 $11{\~}35nm$ 크기의 결정형 $LiCoO_{2}$ 나노분말을 제조할 수 있었다 또한 나노 $LiCoO_{2}$의 전극재료로서의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 충방전 특성 평가와 같은 전기화학적 분석을 수행하였다.

In this work, lithium ferrite ($Li_{0.5}Fe_{2.5}O_4$) nanoparticles were prepared via mechanochemical processing and subsequent heat treatment at a relatively low ($600^{\circ}C$) calcining temperature. The raw materials used were high purity $Fe_2O_3$ and $Li_2CO_3$ that were milled for between 2 and 20 h. The milled powders were then calcined at temperatures of 500 and $600^{\circ}C$ for 5 h in air. XRD results show that optimum conditions to obtain single phase lithium ferrite nanoparticles with a mean crystallite size of about 23 nm, using Scherrer's formula, are 10 h milling and calcination at $600^{\circ}C$. Saturation magnetization and coercivity of the single phase Li ferrite nanoparticles are 44.6 emu/g and 100 Oe respectively, which are both smaller than those of the bulk Li ferrite. The Curie temperature of the single sample was determined by a Faraday balance, which is $578^{\circ}C$ and smaller than that of bulk Li ferrite.

To prepare the high-capacity cathode material with improved electrochemical performances, nanoparticles of $C0_3(PO_4)_2$ were coated on the powder surface of $Li[Co_{0.1}Ni_{0.15}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.55}]O_2$, which was already synthesized by simple combustion method. The coated powders after the heat treatment at >$700^{\circ}C$ surely showed well-structured crystalline property with nanoscale surface coating layer, which was consisted of $LiCOPO_4$ phase formed from the reaction bwtween $CO_3(PO_4)_2$ and lithium impurities. In addition, cycle performance was particularly improved by the $CO_3(PO_4)_2$-coating for the cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries.

A new ionic liquid functionalized magnetic silica nanoparticle was synthesized and characterized and tested as an adsorbent. The adsorbent was used for magnetic solid phase extraction on ICP-MS method. Simultaneous determination of precious metal Au has been addressed. The method is simple and fast and has been applied to standard water and surface water analysis. A new method for separation/analysis of trace precious metal Au by Magnetron Solid Phase Extraction (MSPE) combined with ICP-MS. The element to be tested is rapidly adsorbed on CoFe2O4@SiO2@[BMIM]PF6 composite nano-adsorbent and eluted with thiourea. The method has a preconcentration factor of 9.5-fold. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of gold in actual water samples. Hydrophobic Ionic Liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]PF6) coated CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticles with core-shell structure to prepare magnetic solid phase extraction agent (CoFe2O4@SiO2@ILs) and establish a new method of MSPE coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for separation/analysis of trace gold. The results showed that trace gold was adsorbed rapidly by CoFe2O4@SiO2@[BMIM]PF6 and eluanted by thiourea. Under the optimal conditions, preconcentration factor of the proposed method was 9.5-fold. The linear range, detection limit, correlation coefficient (R) and relative standard deviation (RSD) were found to be 0.01~1000.00 ng·mL-1, 0.001 ng·mL-1, 0.9990 and 3.4% (n = 11, c = 4.5 ng·mL-1). The CoFe2O4@SiO2 nanoparticles could be used repeatedly for 8 times. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace gold in water samples.

본 논문에서는 차세대 고용량 양극 물질로 각광받고 있는 리튬리치계 산화물의 나노입자의 제조방법에 대해 보고하고 있다. 리튬리치계 산화물은 기존에 사용되고 있는 $LiCoO_2$와 같은 양극물질의 50-80% 이상 높은 용량으로 인해 고용량 이차전지용 양극재료로 기대를 받고 있다. 그러나 이온 및 전자전도성이 좋지 못하여 고율특성이 취약한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 리튬리치계 산화물을 나노입자화 하여 고율특성을 향상시키는데 연구의 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이를 위해 제조공정에서 2가지 계면활성제를 사용, 입자를 분산시켜 나노화 하였다. 나노 입자를 가진 리튬리치 산화물의 전기화학적 특성을 관찰한 결과 상대적으로 우수한 고율특성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The electrochemical and thermal stability of $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.16}Al_{0.04}O_2$ were studied before and after $Co_3(PO_4)_2$ coating. Different to conventional coating material such as $ZrO_2$ or AlPO4, the coating layer was not detected clearly by TEM analysis, indicating that the $Co_3(PO_4)_2$ nanoparticles effectively reacted with surface impurities such as $Li_2CO_3$. The coated sample showed similar capacity at a low C rate condition. However, the rate capability was significantly improved by the coating effect. It is associated with a decrease of impedance after coating because impedance can act as a major barrier for overall cell performances in high C rate cycling. In the DSC profile of the charged sample, exothermic peaks were shifted to high temperatures and heat generation was reduced after coating, indicating the thermal reaction between electrode and electrolyte was sucessfully suppressed by $Co_3(PO_4)_2$ nanoparticle coating.

A three-dimensional (3D) $Co_3O_4$/mildly oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (moCNTs)/reduced mildly oxidized graphene oxide (rmGO) ternary composite was prepared via a simple and green hydrolysishydrothermal approach by mixing $Co(Ac)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ with moCNTs and mGO suspension in mixed ethanol/$H_2O$. As characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles with size of 20-100 nm and moCNTs are effectively anchored in mGO. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements were adopted to investigate the electrochemical properties of $Co_3O_4$/moCNTs/rmGO ternary composite in 6 M KOH solution. In a potential window of 0-0.6 V vs. Hg/HgO, the composite delivers an initial specific capacitance of 492 $Fg^{-1}$ at 0.5 $Ag^{-1}$ and the capacitance remains 592 $Fg^{-1}$ after 2000 cycles, while the pure $Co_3O_4$ shows obviously capacitance fading, indicating that rmGO and moCNTs greatly enhance the electrochemical performance of $Co_3O_4$.

해중합 촉매인 zinc acetate ($C_{4}H_{6}O_{4}Zn{\cdot}2H_{2}O{\cdot}0.2\;mol$)와 lithuium hydroxide $H_{2}O$ ($LiOH{\cdot}H_{2}O{\cdot}0.14\;mol$)를 용매인 ethyl alcohol (99.9%)에 용해시킨 후 분산제인 hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)를 첨가하여 균일하게 분산된 ZnO (산화아연) 콜로이드 용액을 졸-겔법을 이용하여 합성하였다. ZnO 입자들의 크기와 모양은 분산제인 HPC에 의해 결정되었다. 또한 나노 크기의 ZnO 입자들은 zinc-2-ethylhexagonate를 기초로 한 침천법을 이용하여 얻었다. 이렇게 얻어진 ZnO 분말을 DLS, XRD, FE-SEM, 그리고 UV-Vis를 통하여 특성 분석을 하였다. 그 결과, 산화아연 분말은 자기조립 반응으로 균일하고 육방정계 모양의 구조를 가지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또 평균 입자 크기는 거의 40 nm이고 균일하게 분산되었다.

본 연구에서는 리튬 2차 전지의 양극물질 중 하나인 Li-Mn spinel ($LiMn_2O_4$)을 합성하기 위해 전구체로 K-Birnessite ($K_xMnO_2{\cdot}{yH_2O}$)를 이용하였다. K-Birnessite는 과망간산칼륨[$KMnO_4$]과 우레아[$CO(NH_2)_2$]를 사용하여 수열합성법으로 합성하였고, K-Birnessite와 LiOH를 수열 반응시켜 Li-Mn spinel 나노입자를 제조하였다. 리튬함량에 따른 Li-Mn spinel 의 구조 및 형상 변화와 전기화학적 특성에 대한 경향성을 알아보기 위해 LiOH와 K-Birnessite의 몰 비를 조절하여 Li-Mn spinel를 합성하였다. 합성된 분말은 X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetry (TG)를 이용하여 물질의 구조 및 형상을 분석하였고, 정전류법으로 양극재의 용량과 율 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 LiOH/K-Birnessite의 몰 비가 0.8일 때 가장 큰 용량($117\;mAhg^{-1}$)을 나타냈고, 몰 비가 증가할수록 Li-Mn spinel 중 리튬함량이 증가하여 용량은 감소하였으나, 입자크기는 작아져서 율 특성은 점점 향상되는 경향을 보였다.
