지난 수십년간 인류에게 핵심적인 에너지 자원이었던 화석연료가 갈수록 고갈되고 있고, 산업발전에 따른 오염이 심해지고 있는 환경을 보호하기 위한 노력의 일환으로, 친환경 이차전지, 수소발생 에너지 장치, 에너지 저장 시스템 등과 관련한 새로운 에너지 기술들이 개발되고 있다. 그 중에서도 리튬이온 배터리 (Lithium ion battery, LIB)는 높은 에너지 밀도와 긴 수명으로 인해, 대용량 배터리로 응용하기에 적합하고 산업적 응용이 가능한 차세대 에너지 장치로 여겨진다. 하지만, 친환경 전기 자동차, 드론 등 증가하는 배터리 시장을 고려할 때, 수명이 다한 이유로 어느 순간부터 많은 양의 배터리 폐기물이 쏟아져 나올 것으로 예상된다. 이를 대비하기 위해, 폐전지에서 리튬 및 각종 유가금속을 회수하는 공정개발이 요구되는 동시에, 이를 재활용할 수 있는 방안이 사회적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는, 폐전지의 재활용 전략소재 중 하나인, 리튬이온 배터리의 대표적 양극 소재 Li2CO3의 나노스케일 패턴 제조 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 우선, Li2CO3 분말을 진공 내 가압하여 성형하고, 고온 소결을 통하여 매우 순수한 Li2CO3 박막 증착용 3인치 스퍼터 타겟을 성공적으로 제작하였다. 해당 타겟을 스퍼터 장비에 장착하여, 나노 패턴전사 프린팅 공정을 이용하여 250 nm 선 폭을 갖는, 매우 잘 정렬된 Li2CO3 라인 패턴을 SiO2/Si 기판 위에 성공적으로 형성할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라, 패턴전사 프린팅 공정을 기반으로, 금속, 유리, 유연 고분자 기판, 그리고 굴곡진 고글의 표면에까지 Li2CO3 라인 패턴을 성공적으로 형성하였다. 해당 결과물은 향후, 배터리 소자에 사용되는 다양한 기능성 소재의 박막화에 응용될 것으로 기대되고, 특히 다양한 기판 위에서의 리튬이온 배터리 소자의 성능 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ceramics, which added with low sintering materials $Li_2CO_3$ and ZnBO, was investigated for LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) applications. To compare sintering temperature of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ respectively, we added 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5wt% of $Li_2CO_3$ and ZnBO to $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$. For confirming the sintering temperature, the respective specimens were sintered from $750^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$ by $50^{\circ}C$. The case of $Li_2CO_3$ greatly lowered the sintering temperature of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ ($1350^{\circ}C$) below $900^{\circ}C$. The addition of ZnBO improved the loss tangent of $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$. The crystalline structure of $LiCO_3$ doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ and ZnBO doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ was analyzed with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of $Li_2CO_3$ doped BST and ZnBO doped BST were measured with the HP 4284A precision. From the electrical characterization, we respectively obtained the dielectric permittivity 1361, loss tangent $6.94{\times}10^{-3}$ at $Li_2CO_3$ doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$ (3wt%) and the dielectric constant 1180, loss tangent $3.70{\times}10^{-3}$ at ZnBO doped $(B_{0.5},Sr_{0.5})TiO_3$(5wt%).

Deep red color emitting $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were investigated in an attempt to achieve promising performances in cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) applications. For this purpose, several additives such as LiF, $Li_2CO_3$ and $HBO_3$ were introduced in the processing. While two of the additives were ineffective, the inclusion of $LiCO_3$ during the solid state synthesis of $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was proven to enhance photoluminescent intensity and the color chromaticity. Unlike the commercially available $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ red phosphor for use in PDP applications, pure $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ excluding phosphorous was shown to be favorable for CCFL applications, improving color chromaticity at 254nm excitations.

Nano-sized cathode materials for high power lithium ion polymer battery are easily and economically prepared using united eutectic self-mixing method without any artificial mixing procedures of reactants and ultra-miniaturization of products. While the micro-sized $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 167.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 142.5 mAh/g at 3.0C, those of the nano-sized $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ are 170.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 159.3 mAh/g at 3.0C. In the case of $LiCoO_2$, the micro-sized $LiCoO_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 134.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 118.6 mAh/g at 5.0C. Differently, the nano-sized $LiCoO_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 137.2 mAh/g at 0.1C and 131.7 mAh/g at 5.0C.

The variation of the sintered density and grain size of UO$_2$ as a function of the Li$_2$O amount and sintering atmosphere was observed. Li$_2$O enhanced the grain growth of the UO$_2$ pellet in H$_2$, but rather hindered it in $CO_2$ atmosphere. Grain size of the UO$_2$ and UO$_2$-0.1 wt%Li$_2$O pellets was, respectively, 8 $\mu$m and 100 $\mu$m at 168$0^{\circ}C$ in the H$_2$ atmosphere, and that of each pellet was, respectively, 24 $\mu$m and 17 $\mu$m at the same temperature in the $CO_2$ atmosphere. As-received Li$_2$O powder, which had been composed of Li$_2$O and LiOH, was converted to the Li$_2$CO$_3$ phase after heating to 80$0^{\circ}C$ in $CO_2$. On the other hand, the Li$_2$O and LiOH phases remained unchanged in H$_2$ atmosphere. In the H$_2$, the as-received Li$_2$O powder began to evaporate at about 105$0^{\circ}C$ and then about 20 wt% residue was left at 150$0^{\circ}C$. But, most of the Li elements evaporated at 150$0^{\circ}C$ in the $CO_2$ atmosphere.

Orthorhombic type LiCo$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ O$_2$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.14) oxides have been synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of (Co$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ )$_3$O$_4$precursors and LiOH aqueous solution at 17$0^{\circ}C$. As-synthesized powders showed well-ordered $\beta$-MaMnO$_2$structures, and the products were single crystalline particle oxides from TEM observations. The particle size decreased with increasing the amount of Co substituent. Much more improved capacity upon 100 cyclings was clearly seen in orthorhombic LiCo$_{0.1}$Mn$_{0.9}$O$_2$, comparing to orthorhombic LiMnO$_2$./TEX>.EX>.

A fabrication condition of the cathode electrode was optimized in a lithium secondary battery. The $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ powders were used as a cathode material. The $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$/Li cells were prepared with a certain formulation and their cycleability and rate-capability were evaluated. Optimum electrode composition simulated from the evaluated value was 86.3: 5.6: 8.1 in mass $\%$ of active material: binder: conducting material. Discharge capacity decreased markedly as the press ratio exceeded $30\%$ during preparation of the electrode. Discharge performance at a high current rate deteriorated abruptly as the electrode thickness was over $120{\mu}m$.

A $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ cathode was modified by coating with Li-La-Ti-O, and the effect of the coating thickness on their electrochemical properties was studied. The thickness of the coating on the surface of $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ was increased by increasing the wt % of the coating material. The rate capability of the Li-La-Ti-O-coated electrode was superior to that of the pristine sample. 1- and 2-wt %-coated samples showed considerable improvement in capacity retention at high C rates. However, the rate capability of a 5-wt %-coated sample decreased. All the coated samples showed a high discharge capacity and slightly improved cyclic performance under a high cut-off voltage (4.8 V) condition. Results of a storage test confirmed that the Li-La-Ti-O coating layer was effective in suppressing the dissolution of the transition metals as it offered protection from the attack of the acidic electrolyte. In particular, the 2- and 5-wt %-coated samples showed a better protection effect than the 1-wt %-coated sample.

In this paper, we report on a study of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces of MCMB/$LiCoO_2$ cell using Ion-chromatography. The cells for the experiments were preconditioned by cycling three times and stabilized at OCV of 3.0V 4.35V and 4.5V. The stabilized cathode electrode was used for surface characterization investigations. Concerning the $LiCoO_2$/electrolyte interfaces, the result obtained have shown the presence of $F^-\;and\;CO_3^{2-}$ on the surface of cathode electrode as well as increasing the concentration of ions as cell voltage increase.
