Lithium-ion battery has been used for lots of electronic devices. With the popularization of batteries, researchers have focused on batteries' electrochemical performances by environmental conditions, such as temperature, vibration, shock and charging state. Meanwhile, due to very serious global warming, car companies have started using lithium-ion batteries even in cars, replacing internal combustion engines. However, batteries have been developed based on non-moving systems which is totally different from vehicles. In the line of the differences, researchers have tried to reveal relationship between variables from dynamic systems and batteries. In this review, we discuss the comprehensive effect of vibration and shock on batteries. We firstly summarize vibration profiles and effect of normal vibration on batteries. We also sum up effect of shock and penetration on batteries and introduce how ultrasound influences on batteries. Lastly, outlook for the battery design as well as dynamic design of EVs are discussed.

Lithium-ion batteries are used in many fields due to their high energy density, fast charging conditions, and long cycle life. However, overcharging, over-discharging, physical damage, and use of lithium-ion batteries at high temperatures can reduce battery life and cause damage to people due to fire or explosion due to damage to the protection circuit. In order to reduce the risk of these batteries and improve battery performance, the characteristics of the charging and discharging process must be analyzed and understood. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the charging and discharging characteristics of lithium-ion batteries using a battery charger and discharger and simulator to reduce the risk of loss of life due to overcharge and overdischarge, as well as casualties from fire and explosion due to damage to the protection circuit.

Mixed acidophilic bacteria were approached for leaching of cobalt and lithium from wastes of lithium ion battery industries. The growth substrates for the mixed mesophilic bacteria are elemental sulfur and ferrous ion. Bioleaching of the metal was due to the protonic action of sulfate ion on the metals present in the waste. It was investigated that bioleaching of cobalt was faster than lithium. Bacterial action could leach out about 80 % of cobalt and 20 % of lithium from the solid wastes within 12 days of the experimental period. Higher solid/liquid ratio was found to be detrimental for bacterial growth due to the toxic nature of the metals. At high elemental sulfur concentration, the sulfur powder was observed to be in undissolved form and hence the leaching rate also decreased with increase of sulfur amount.

In order to develop a process for the recovery of valuable metals from spent LiBs, solvent extraction experiments were performed to separate Cu(II) and/or Co(II) from synthetic hydrochloric acid solutions containing Li(I), Mn(II), and Ni(II). Commercial amines (Alamine 336 and Aliquat 336) were employed and the extraction behavior of the metals was investigated as a function of the concentration of HCl and extractants. The results indicate that HCl concentration affected remarkably the extraction efficiency of the metals. Only Cu(II) was selectively at 1 M HCl concentration, while both Co(II) and Cu(II) was extracted by the amines when HCl concentration was higher than 5 M, leaving the other metal ions in the raffinate. Therefore, it was possible to selectively extract either Cu(II) or Co(II)/Cu(II) by adjusting the HCl concentration.

Because the application of lithium has gradually increased for the production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), more research studies about recycling using solvent extraction (SX) should focus on Li⁺ recovery from the waste solution obtained after the removal of the valuable metals nickel, cobalt and manganese (NCM). The raffinate obtained after the removal of NCM metal contains lithium ions and other impurities such as Na ions. In this study, we optimized a selective SX system using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as the extractant and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) as a modifier in kerosene for the recovery of lithium from a waste solution containing lithium and a high concentration of sodium (Li⁺ = 0.5 ~ 1 wt%, Na⁺ = 3 ~6.5 wt%). The extraction of lithium was tested in different solvent compositions and the most effective extraction occurred in the solution composed of 20% D2EHPA + 20% TBP + and 60% kerosene. In this SX system with added NaOH for saponification, more than 95% lithium was selectively extracted in four extraction steps using an organic to aqueous ratio of 5:1 and an equilibrium pH of 4 ~ 4.5. Additionally, most of the Na⁺ (92% by weight) remained in the raffinate. The extracted lithium is stripped using 8 wt% HCl to yield pure lithium chloride with negligible Na content. The lithium chloride is subsequently treated with high purity ammonium bicarbonate to afford lithium carbonate powder. Finally the lithium carbonate is washed with an adequate amount of water to remove trace amounts of sodium resulting in highly pure lithium carbonate powder (purity > 99.2%).

A study on the solvent extraction for the separation and recovery of Ni and Li from the leaching solution of active cathode materials of Li-ion batteries was investigated using PC88A(2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester). The experimental parameters, such as the pH of the solution, concentration of extractant and phase ratio were observed. Experimental results showed that the extraction percent of Ni and Li and separation factor of Ni/Li were increased with increasing the equilibrium pH. More than 99.4% of Ni and 28.7% of Li were extracted in eq. pH 8.5 by 25% PC88A and the separation factor of Ni/Li was 411.6. From the analysis of McCabe-Thiele diagram, 99% of Ni was extracted by three extraction stages at phase ratio(A/O) of 1.5. Stripping of Ni and Li from the loaded organic phases can be accomplished by sulfuric acid as a stripping reagent and 50-60g/L of $H_2SO_4$ was effective for the stripping of Ni.

리튬이차전지의 음극물질로서 상용화되고 있는 탄소재료중 흑연은 전기자동차에 적용하기에는 낮은 용량과 나쁜 출력특성을 갖고 있어 지금보다 두배이상의 용량과 출력특성이 좋은 음극소재의 개발이 필요하다. 또 다른 음극물질로 실리콘은 흑연에 비해 월등히 높은 이론용량을 나타내고 있지만 실리콘이 리튬이온과 만나면 부피가 4배이상 팽창하여 사이클이 진행될수록 충방전 용량이 급격히 감소하게 된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 이 두 음극소재를 상호보완하기 위해 천연흑연을 산처리 과정을 통해 제조된 팽창흑연을 매트릭스로 사용하여 팽창흑연에 실리콘을 충진 시키는 연구를 진행하였다. 팽창흑연에 실리콘을 충진시킴으로써 1C일 때 약 650mAh/g의 용량을 나타내었으며, 50cycle이 진행된 후에도 비교적 안정한 사이클 특성을 나타내었다.

전기자동차(EV)뿐만 아니라 ESS(Energy Storage System) 등의 사용량이 증가하면서 리튬이온배터리의 중요성은 점점 커지고 있다. 리튬 이온 배터리의 정확한 상태를 추정하는 것은 배터리의 안전하고 신뢰성 있는 작동을 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 AEKF(Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter)를 이용한 배터리 파라미터와 충전상태(SOC, State of Charge)를 추정하고, 이를 활용하여 배터리의 건강상태(SOH, State of Health)를 추정하는 간단한 알고리즘을 제시한다. AEKF에 파라미터 값을 적용하여 SOC를 추정하고, 추정된 SOC값과 전류 적산을 이용하여 SOH를 추정한다. SOC 오차에 따른 SOH 추정 값의 편차는 SOC 연산 간격을 늘리고 가중치 필터를 적용하여 최소화시킴으로써 결과의 정확성을 향상했다. 다양한 자동차의 표준 주행 패턴을 적용한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법을 이용하여 얻어진 SOH 추정 결과는 RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) 1.428% 이내임을 검증하였다.

최근 퍼스널 모빌리티 분야에 적용되는 배터리는 대부분 리튬계열 배터리가 차지하고 있다. 각광받는 이유로는 작은 부피, 무게에 비해 큰 용량을 가지는 장점이 있고 셀당 전압의 경우에도 기존 니켈수소 및 카드뮴 등과 같은 수계전해액의 전지에 비해 3배 정도 높다는 장점을 가진다. 이러한 리튬이온배터리를 제품에 적용하기 위해서는 직병렬 구조의 팩 단위로 구성하여야 하며, 단일 셀이 아닌 다수의 셀 조합이기 때문에 충방전을 진행하는 과정에서 직렬구성 셀의 특성이 달리지게 되어 최종적으로는 전압의 차로 검출되게 된다. 이러한 전압의 차는 배터리의 용량을 저감시키고 특정 셀에 스트레스를 가중시켜 셀의 수명을 단축시키는 요인으로 작용한다.

리튬이온 배터리는 동작하는 과정에서 필연적으로 열이 발생하기 때문에 적절한 열 관리에 대한 전략이 필요하다. 배터리에서의 발열은 가역적인 발열과 비가역적인 발열로 분류될 수 있으며 배터리의 용도별, 동작 조건 별 발열 특성이 상이하기 때문에, 배터리의 열적 안전성 확보를 위해서는 열적 특성에 대한 분석이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 고용량/고출력 리튬이온 배터리의 전기적 특성 실험을 수행하고 열적 안전성 분석을 위하여 발열 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 고용량/고출력 배터리 특성에 따라 가역적 발열과 비가역적 발열이 나타나는 특성이 상이한 것으로 확인되었으며, 또한 온도 측정 정보로부터 배터리의 내부 상태 특성을 추정하고 고장 진단 및 수명 특성에 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
