젖산을 이용하여 안전하게 양극활물질에 있는 Co, Mn, Ni을 침출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 양극활물질을 젖산으로 침출 시켰을 때, 젖산의 농도는 1N과 4 N 이상에서 보다는 2 N에서 가장 높은 효율을 보였다. 양극활물질을 단계적으로 젖산 용액에 첨가 하였을 때, 최대 용해도는 2 N의 젖산 용액에서 1 L 당 30 g이었다. 젖산 용액에 옥살산을 첨가하였고 희유금속들은 1 L 당 4 g에서 가장 경제적인 회수율을 보였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 해서, 양극활물질로부터 희유금속들을 회수하기 위한 최적의 조건은 무게비로 옥살산과 양극활물질이 7 : 1이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 첨가하여, 옥살산에 의해서 생성된 침전물은 Co, Ni, Mn 3성분이 결합되어 있는 다핵 결정성 물질이었다.

This paper describes an environmentally friendly process for the recovery of $LiFePO_4$ cathode materials from scrap electrodes by a simple thermal treatment method. The active materials were easily separated from the aluminum substrate foil and polymeric binders were also decomposed at different temperatures ($400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$) for 30 min under nitrogen gas flow. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrochemical properties of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were evaluated by galvanostatic charge and discharge modes. The specific charge/discharge capacities of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were similar to those of the original $LiFePO_4$ cathode. The $LiFePO_4$ cathode material recovered at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibits a somewhat higher capacity than those of other recovered materials at high current rates. The recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode also showed a good cycling performance.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) using inorganic sulfide-based solid electrolytes are considered prospective alternatives to existing liquid electrolyte-based batteries owing to benefits such as non-flammability. However, it is difficult to form a favorable solid-solid interface among electrode constituents because all the constituents are solid particles. It is important to form an effective electron conduction network in composite cathode while increasing utilization of active materials and not blocking the lithium ion path, resulting in excellent cell performance. In this study, a mixture of fibrous VGCF and spherical nano-sized Super P was used to improve rate performance by fabricating valid conduction paths in composite cathodes. Then, composite cathodes of ASSBs containing 70% and 80% active materials ($LiNi_{0.6}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.2}O_2$) were prepared by a solution-based process to achieve uniform dispersion of the electrode components in the slurry. We investigated the influence of binary carbon additives in the cathode of all-solid-state batteries to improve rate performance by constructing an effective electron conduction network.

Our work on $Sc_2O_3-W$ matrix dispenser cathodes had been reviewed in this paper. The cathode with uniform distribution of $Sc_2O_3$ had been obtained using liquid-liquid doping method. The cathode had excellent emission property, i.e., the emission current density in pulse condition could reach over $35A/cm^2$. It was found that the cathode surface was covered by a Ba-Sc-O active substance multilayer with a thickness of about 100 nm, which was different from the monolayer and semiconducting layer in thickness. Furthermore, the observation results displayed that nanoparticles appeared at the growth steps and the surface of tungsten grains of the fully activated cathode. The calculation result indicated that the nanoparticles could cause the increase of local electric field strengths. We proposed the emission model that both the Ba-Sc-O multilayer and the nanoparticles distributing mainly on the growth steps of the W grains contributed to the emission. The future work on this cathode has been discussed.

Recent development of organic solar cell approaches the level of 8% power conversion efficiency by the introduction of new materials, improved material engineering, and more sophisticated device structures. As for interface engineering, various interlayer materials such as LiF, CaO, NaF, and KF have been utilized between Al electrode and active layer. Those materials lower the work function of cathode and interface barrier, protect the active layer, enhance charge collection efficiency, and induce active layer doping. However, the addition of another step of thin layer deposition could be a little complicated. Thus, on a typical solar cell structure of Al/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/ITO glass, we used Li:Al alloy electrode instead of Al to render a simple process. J-V measurement under dark and light illumination on the polymer solar cell using Li:Al cathode shows the improvement in electric properties such as decrease in leakage current and series resistance, and increase in circuit current density. This effective charge collection and electron transport correspond to lowered energy barrier for electron transport at the interface, which is measured by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Indeed, through the measurement of secondary ion mass spectroscopy, the Li atoms turn out to be located mainly at the interface between polymer and Al metal. In addition, the chemical reaction between polymer and metal electrodes are measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

We investigated effectness of sort and volume of conductive agent to charge/discharge capacity of LiMn$_2$O$_4$. LiMn$_2$O$_4$is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH . $H_2O$ and MnO$_2$(mole ratio 1 : 2) and heating at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 24h, 36h, 48h, 60h and 72h. All LiMn$_2$O$_4$cathode active materials show spinel structure. Cathode active materials calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h, charge/discharge characteristics and cycle stability have remarkable advantages. Used that super-s-black and 20wt% as conductive agent in LiMn$_2$O$_4$, it is excellent than property of cathode used Acetylene black or mixture of Super-s-black and acetylene black at charge/discharge capacity and cycle stability. Also, specific efficiency of cathode is excellent as over 98% and that of first cycle is excellent as 92%.

The diffusion layer within MEA(membrane electrode assembly) has been evaluated important factor for improvement of cell performance in DMFC. The diffusion layer in MEA structure leads to the reduction of catalyst loss in active catalysts layer as well as prevention of water-flooding in cathode. Cell performance is directly affected by interior properties of diffusion layer materials. Acetylene Black and $RuO_2$ with large pore size and low porosity compared to Vulcan XC-72R gave better performance caused by vigorous methanol diffusion and water removal. And $RuO_2$ as diffusion layer materials showed different behavior in anode and cathode compartment, that is, diffusion layers in anode and cathode side make methanol diffusion and water removal facilitate, respectively.

단전지의 성능을 혼합전도체인 LSCF 양극의 미세구조, 특히 전극반응에 필요한 표면적의 양과 연관되는 앙극의 기공률의 변화에 따라 평가하였다. 기공률이 서로 다른 양극을 제조하기 위해 미세한 양극분말과 조대한 양극분말의 혼합비를 달리하여 양극을 제조한 결과 양극의 기공률을 각각 14, 23, 27, $39\%$로 얻을 수 있었다. 양극 기공률이 서로 다른 4종류의 단전지에 대한 직류 전류차단법과 교류임피던스법을 이용한 전기화학적 평가 결과 전극에서의 분극은 양극의 기공률이 증가할수록 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 분극특성은 양극의 기공률이 증가하며 전극반응에 필요한 활성면적이 증가했기 때문으로 추론되며 이러한 이유로 단전지의 성능 또한 양극의 기공률이 증가하면서 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 NCM [Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_z)O₂] 양극활물질을 합성하기 위한 내화갑의 재료로 순수 금속 재료인 Nickel을 제안하였다. Nickel은 산화에 강하고 녹는점이 높은 금속으로 알려져 있다. 니켈은 NCM 양극활물질의 주성분 중 하나로 양극물질 합성 동안에 saggar로 부터의 오염에 대한 문제에 자유로울 것으로 기대하였다. 본 연구진은 니켈이 NCM 양극물질 합성용 내화갑으로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 900℃에서 Ni 금속 도가니와 Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ (NCM 811) 전구체 물질을 장시간 반응시켰을 때, 시간 변화에 따른 도가니 표면 반응층 변화를 분석하였다. 900℃에서 열처리 동안에 형성된 니켈 도가니 반응층은 니켈 산화물이었으며, 양극 전구체 산화물로 부터의 산소확산과 대기 중의 산소와 반응이 동시에 이루어져서 생성된 것으로 생각된다. 산화층은 480시간 이후로 그 두께의 변화가 느려지는 것으로 보아 전구체로 부터의 산소 확산속도가 감소되는 것으로 생각된다. 480시간까지는 도가니로 부터 탈락되지 않고 결합되어 있었다. 그러나 720시간 후에는 산화층이 탈락되는 것이 확인되어 일정 시간까지만 NCM 합성용 Saggar로서 사용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
