본 논문에서는 리튬-이온(Lithium-ion) 폐배터리 효율적인 재활용을 위한 발전된 SOC 추정방법의 필요성과 간단한 개념을 언급하고자 한다. 배터리는 노화되면 용량이 줄어들고 임피던스의 크기가 증가해 기존의 새 배터리의 SOC 추정방법으로는 정확한 추정이 어렵다. 따라서, 폐배터리를 안전하고 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 그에 맞는 SOC 추정방법이 필요하다. 따라서, 폐배터리의 간단한 개념을 설명하고, 동일한 배터리 등 가회로모델과 EKF 알고리즘을 적용한 새 리튬-이온 셀과 노화된 리튬-이온셀의 SOC 추정결과를 비교하고 노화에 따른 배터리 파라미터값의 변화를 분석해봄으로서 발전된 SOC 추정방법의 필요성에 대해 논의해보고자 한다.

일반적으로 리튬이온은 배터리들은 각 배터리마다 고유의 전기화학적 특성을 갖고 있으며 이러한 특성들로 인해서 직렬 또는 병렬로 패키징 되어서 팩으로 사용 될 때 각 셀 간의 전압 불균형이 발생하게 된다. 셀 벨런싱 회로 같은 셀 간 불균형을 회복시켜주는 기능이 없다면 배터리 팩 내의 셀 간 전압 불균형은 시간이 지남에 따라 더 커지게 되고 이는 배터리 팩의 노화를 가속 시키거나 배터리 팩의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 이는 폐 리튬이온 배터리 팩을 재활용하는데 있어서도 반드시 고려해야하는 사항으로서 재활용 팩의 사용시간에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 위의 문제를 극복하기 위해서는 배터리 팩을 만들기 전에 스크리닝을 통해서 전기화학적 성분이 유사한 배터리들을 팩으로 만드는 것이 필요하다. 일반적으로 프레시 배터리의 용량은 거의 비슷하기 때문에 프레시 배터리 용량은 프레시 배터리를 스크리닝 하기 위한 많은 기준들 중에서 가중치가 크지 않지만 폐 리튬이온 배터리들은 각 배터리마다 고유의 전기화학적 특성을 갖을 뿐만 아니라 각 배터리마다 상이한 배터리 용량을 갖고 있기 때문에 각 배터리의 용량에 프레시 배터리를 스크리닝 할 때보다 큰 가중치를 두어 스크리닝 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 같은 전류 프로파일로 노화된 배터리 팩 내의 셀들의 전기화학적 특성을 분석하여 폐배터리 셀들을 재활용하기 위한 스크리닝 방법에 대해서 고찰한다.

The operation of electric automatic windows is used in harsh environments, and the energy density decreases as charging and discharging are repeated, and as soundness deteriorates due to damage to the internal separator, the vehicle's mileage decreases and the charging speed slows down, so about 5 to 10 Batteries that have been used for about a year are classified as waste batteries, and for this reason, as the risk of battery fire and explosion increases, it is essential to diagnose batteries and estimate SOH. Estimation of current battery SOH is a very important content, and it evaluates the state of the battery by measuring the time, temperature, and voltage required while repeatedly charging and discharging the battery. There are disadvantages. In this paper, measurement of discharge capacity (C-rate) using a waste battery of a Tesla car in order to predict SOH estimation of a lithium-ion battery. A Support Vector Machine (SVM), one of the machine models, was applied using the data measured from the waste battery.

Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most interesting devices in a number of energy storage systems. In particular, the usage of energy storage devices is increasing due to an increase in demand for renewable energy as a distributed power supply source, stable supply of electric power, and expansion of electric vehicles. Of late, the recycling and restoration technology of waste lithium ion batteries due to the increase in its usage amount as the energy storage system is a socially and economically important research field. In this review, we intend to describe the performance diagnosis, recycling or restoration technology of lithium ion battery and its potential development.

As demand for electric vehicles increases, the market for lithium-ion batteries is also rapidly increasing. The battery life of lithium-ion batteries is limited, so waste lithium-ion batteries are inevitably generated. Accordingly, lithium was selectively preleached from waste lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄, hereafter referred to as the LFP) cathode material powder among lithium ion batteries, and iron phosphate (FePO₄) powder was recovered. The recovered iron phosphate powder was mixed with alkaline sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) powder and heat treated to confirm its crystalline phase. The heat treatment temperature was set as a variable, and then the leaching rate and powder characteristics of each ingredient were compared after water leaching using Di-water. In this study, lithium showed a leaching rate of approximately 100%, and in the case of powder heat-treated at 800 ℃, phosphorus was leached by approximately 99%, and the leaching residue was confirmed to be a single crystal phase of Fe₂O₃. Therefore, in this study, lithium, phosphorus, and iron components were individually separated and recovered from waste LFP powder.

Due to the increasing demand for clean energy, the consumption of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is expected to grow steadily. Therefore, stable supply of lithium is becoming an important issue globally. Commercially, most of lithium is produced from the brine and minerals viz., spodumene, although various processes/technologies have been developed to recover lithium from other resources such as low grade ores, clays, seawaters and waste lithium ion batteries. In particular, commercialization of such recycling technologies for end-of-life LIBs being generated from various sources including mobile phones and electric vehicles(EVs), has a great potential. This review presents the commercial processes and also the emerging technologies for exploiting minerals and brines, besides that of newly developed lithium-recovery-processes for the waste LIBs. In addition, the future lithium-supply is discussed from the technical point of view. Amongst the emerging processes being developed for lithium recovery from low-grade ores, focus is mostly on the pyro-cum-hydrometallurgical based approaches, though only a few of such approaches have matured. Because of low recycling rate (<1%) of lithium globally compared to the consumption of lithium ion batteries (56% of lithium produced currently), processing of secondary resources could be foresighted as the grand opportunity. Considering the carbon economy, environment, and energy concerns, the hydrometallurgical process may potentially resolve the issue.

The demand for electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries is continuously increasing. Recovery of valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries will be necessary in the future. This research investigated the effect of reaction temperature on the lithium recovery ratio from hydrogen reduction followed by water leaching from lithium-ion battery NCM-based cathode materials. As the reaction temperature increased, the weight loss ratio observed after initiation increased rapidly owing to hydrogen reduction of NiO and CoO; at the same time, the H₂O amount generated increased. Above 602 ℃, the anode materials Ni and Co were reduced and existed in the metallic phases. As the hydrogen reduction temperature was increased, the Li recovery ratio also increased; at 704 ℃ and above, the Li recovery ratio reached a maximum of approximately 92%. Therefore, it is expected that Li can be selectively recovered by hydrogen reduction as a waste lithium-ion battery pretreatment, and the residue can be reprocessed to efficiently separate and recover valuable metals.

Owing to the demand for lithium-ion batteries, the recovery of valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries is required in future. A pyrometallurgical treatment is appropriate for recycling a large number of waste lithium-ion batteries, but Li loss to slag and dust present a significant challenge. This research investigated carbonation roasting and water leaching behaviors in Li-ion batteries by graphite addition to recover Li from the NCM-based cathode materials of waste Li-ion batteries. When 10 wt% of graphite was added, CO and CO₂ gases were emitted with a rapid weight reduction at apporoximately 850 K, when heated in Ar and CO₂ atmosphere. After the rapid weight reduction, NCM was decomposed and reduced to metal oxides and pure metals. In the carbonation roasting of black powder (NCM+graphite), O₂ is generated via the decomposition of NCM, and an oxides, such as Li₂O and NiO were were also generated. Subsequently, Li₂O reacts with CO₂ to generate Li₂CO₃, and a part of NiO was reduced by graphite to produce metal Ni. In addition, up to 94.5 % Li₂CO₃ with ~99.95 % purity was recovered via water leaching after carbonation roasting.
