Reduction smelting of spent lithium-ion batteries at high temperature produces metallic alloys. Following solvent extraction of the leaching solutions of these metallic alloys with either sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, the raffinate is found to contain Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), and Si(IV). In this study, two cationic exchange resins (Diphonix and P204) were employed to investigate the loading behavior of these ions from synthetic sulfate and chloride solutions. Experimental results showed that Ni(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) could be selectively loaded onto the Diphonix resin from a sulfate solution of pH 3.0. With a chloride solution of pH 6.0, Mn(II) was selectively loaded onto the P204 resin, leaving Ni(II) and Si(IV) in the effluent. Elution experiments with H₂SO₄ and/or HCl resulted in the complete recovery of metal ions from the loaded resin.

1990년에 Sony사는 탄소 음극과 리튬 코발트 산화물($LiCoO_2$) 양극을 함유하는 최초의 상용 리튬이온 전지를 발표하였다. 이후, 전지 성분을 변형하여 안전성과 전기화학적 용량을 향상시키고 비용을 줄이기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 이러한 관심의 대부분은 양극 용량이 전지 용량을 한정하고 전지 비용의 40%까지 양극 원재료 비용에서부터 비롯되었기 때문에 양극 대체기술 개발에 집중되었다. 리튬이온 전지는 현재 휴대용 전자 기기 시장을 좌우하고 있다. 또한 온실가스 배출의 감소를 요구하는 환경보호에 대한 관심에 대한 새로운 시장 기회가 조성되었다. 1990년대 이후, 비독성의 저가 재료를 사용하여 환경 영향과 비용을 최소화 하려는 노력을 경주하면서 에너지 밀도를 극대화하고, 리튬 삽입과 추출의 유용 범위를 확대하여 용량을 극대화하고 있다.

$Li_2MnSiO_4$/C was synthesized by solid state reaction and solution synthesis with sucrose for carbon source. The X-ray diffraction patterns of solid state reaction indicates small amount of impurities. By FE-SEM and HR-TEM, solution synthesis comprised several tens of nanometer comparing to 500~600 nm of $Li_2MnSiO_4$/C prepared by solid state reaction. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/C prepared by solution synthesis show better electrochemical performance than solid state reaction. The first charge-discharge capacity are 236, 189 mAh/g respectively by solution synthesis. But its cycle performance was poor as yet and its capacity retention was 62% after 10 cycles.
