현재 리튬이온 배터리에 사용되는 고니켈계 양극재의 수요 증대에 따라 수산화리튬(LiOH) 제조 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 탄산리튬(Li2CO3)으로부터 수산화리튬의 제조를 위하여, 탄산리튬의 열분해를 통한 산화리튬(Li2O)의 전환 공정에 대해 연구하였다. 열처리 시 탄산리튬과 알루미나, 석영 그리고 흑연 도가니 사용에 따른 반응 메커니즘을 확인하였으며, 흑연 도가니를 사용했을 경우 온전한 산화리튬 분말을 얻었다. TG 분석 결과를 바탕으로 열처리 온도를 700℃, 900℃ 그리고 1100℃로 설정하였으며 유지시간 및 분위기를 제어하여 시약급 탄산리튬의 열처리를 진행하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 제조된 산화리튬은 질소 분위기에서 1시간 동안 1100℃의 온도로 열처리를 하였을 때 높은 결정성을 보였다. 또한 수산화리튬으로 전환하기 위해 시약급 산화리튬을 100℃에서 수반응하였다. XRD 분석을 통해 수산화리튬(LiOH)과 수산화리튬 일수화물(LiOH·H2O)이 생성됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 탄산리튬과 탄산망간을 사용하여 습식혼합방법으로 스피넬 리튬망간 산화물(LMO)을 합성하였다. 합성한 리튬망간 산화물의 물리적인 특성은 X-선 회절 분석기(X-ray diffraction, XRD)와 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM) 사용하여 분석하였다. 회분식 실험을 통해 LMO의 리튬이온에 대한 흡착특성을 살펴보았다. Langmuir 흡착 등온식으로부터 구한 리튬의 최대흡착량은 27.21 mg/g였다. LMO는 뛰어난 리튬 이온체의 특성을 가지고 있었으며, $Ca^{2+}$ < $K^+$ < $Na^+$ < $Mg^{2+}$ < $Li^+$ 순서로 분배계수($K_d$)가 나타나 해수로부터 리튬을 회수하는데 용이할 것으로 사료된다.

This study examined the influence of operating parameters on the electrosorptive recovery system of lithium ions from aqueous solutions using a spinel-type lithium manganese oxide adsorbent electrode and investigated the electrosorption kinetics and isotherms. The results revealed that the electrosorption data of lithium ions from the lithium containing aqueous solution were well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm at electrical potentials lower than -0.4 V and to the Freundlich isotherm at electrical potentials higher than -0.4 V. This result may due to the formation of a thicker electrical double layer on the surface of the electrode at higher electrical potentials. The results showed that the electrosorption reached equilibrium within 200 min under an electrical potential of -1.0 V, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was correlated with the experimental data. Moreover, the adsorption of lithium ions was dependent on pH and temperature, and the results indicate that higher pH values and lower temperatures are more suitable for the electrosorptive adsorption of lithium ions from aqueous solutions. Thermodynamic results showed that the calculated activation energy of $22.61kJ\;mol^{-1}$ during the electrosorption of lithium ions onto the adsorbent electrode was primarily controlled by a physical adsorption process. The recovery of adsorbed lithium ions from the adsorbent electrode reached the desorption equilibrium within 200 min under reverse electrical potential of 3.5 V.

In order to recover lithium ions from aqueous solution, a novel SAN-LMO beads were prepared by immobilizing lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with styrene acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN). The optimum condition for synthesis of SAN-LMO beads was 5 g of LMO and 3 g of SAN content. The characterization of the prepared SAN-LMO beads by SEM and XRD were confirmed that LMO was immobilized in SAN-LMO beads. The removal and the distribution coefficient of lithium ions decreased with increasing lithium ion concentration and solution pH. Even when the prepared SAN-LMO beads were reused 5 times, the leakage of LMO and the damage of SAN-LMO beads was not observed.

In this study, we fabricated nickel oxide thin film for lithium based electrolyte using sol-gel method. This film was deposited by dip-coating method with mixed solvent of DameH (N,N-dimethylaminoethanol) and DI water. As changing the ratio between DmaeH and DI water, nickel oxide thin film was presented in different charge density and optical transmittance because they were shown various thickness. It was accounted for changing viscosity and density by the ratio of DmaeH and DI water. The thin film synthesized with 1 : 1 ratio of DmaeH and DI water was expressed best electrochromic performance in lithium based electrolyte, because of thick thickness but porous structures.

In order to increase the specific capacitance and energy density of supercapacitors, non-aqueous supercapacitors were prepared using lithium transition-metal oxides and activated carbons as active materials. The electrochemical properties were analyzed in terms of the content of lithium transition-metal oxides. The results of cyclic voltammetry and AC-impedance analyses showed that the pseudocapacitance may stem from the synergistic contributions of capacitive and faradic effects; the former is due to the electric double layer which is prepared in the interface of activated carbon and organic electrolyte, and the latter is due to the intercalation of lithium ($Li^+$) ions. The specific capacitance and energy density of a supercapacitor improved as the lithium transition-metal oxides content increased, showing 60% increase compared to those of supercapacitor using a pure activated carbon positive electrode.

A nano-porous structure of tin oxide was prepared using an anodic oxidation process and the sample's electrochemical properties were evaluated for application as an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery. Microscopic images of the as-anodized sample indicated that it has a nano-porous structure with an average pore size of several tens of nanometers and a pore wall size of about 10 nanometers; the structural/compositional analyses proved that it is amorphous stannous oxide (SnO). The powder form of the as-anodized specimen was satisfactorily lithiated and delithiated as the anode in a lithium battery. Furthermore, it showed high initial reversible capacity and superior rate performance when compared to previous fabrication attempts. Its excellent electrode performance is probably due to the effective alleviation of strain arising from a cycling-induced large volume change and the short diffusion length of lithium through the nano-structured sample. To further enhance the rate performance, the attempt was made to create porous tin oxide film on copper substrate by anodizing the electrodeposited tin. Nevertheless, the full anodization of tin film on a copper substrate led to the mechanical disintegration of the anodic tin oxide, due most likely to the vigorous gas evolution and the surface oxidation of copper substrate. The adhesion of anodic tin oxide to the substrate, together with the initial reversibility and cycling stability, needs to be further improved for its application to high-power electrode materials in lithium batteries.

Transition metal oxide-based electrodes for lithium ion batteries have recently attracted much attention because of their high theoretical capacity. Here we report the electrochemical behavior of cobalt oxide nanorods as anodes, prepared by a template-free, one-step electrochemical deposition of cobalt nanorods, followed by an oxidation process. The as-deposited cobalt has a slightly convex columnar structure, and controlled thermal oxidation produces cobalt oxides of different Co/O ratios, while the original shape is largely preserved. As an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery, the Co/O ratio has a strong effect on initial capacity and cycling stability. In particular, the one-dimensional Co@Co_xO_y core shell structure obtained from a mild heat-treatment results in superior cycling stability.
