전기차의 수요가 증가함에 따라 리튬이온전지의 시장 또한 급증하고 있다. 리튬이온전지의 배터리 수명은 제한되어 있으며, 수명을 다한 배터리의 교체 필연적이므로 폐리튬이온전지 배터리가 발생하게 된다. 이에 리튬이온전지 중 폐리튬인산철(LiFePO₄, 이하 LFP라고 함) 양극재 분말에서부터 리튬은 선택적으로 선침출하고 인산철(FePO₄) 분말을 회수하였다. 회수된 인산철 분말은 탄산나트륨(Na₂CO₃) 분말과 혼합하여 열처리하여 그 결정상을 확인하였다. 열처리 온도를 변수로 하였고, 이후 증류수를 이용하여 수침출 후 각 성분의 침출률 및 분말 특성을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 리튬은 약 100% 침출률을 보였고 800 ℃에서 열처리한 분말의 경우 인이 약 99% 침출되었으며, 침출 잔사는 Fe₂O₃ 단일 결정상으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐LFP 분말로부터 리튬, 인 그리고 철 성분을 개별적으로 분리 및 회수할 수 있었다.

폐리튬인산철 전지의 양극재로부터 리튬을 효율적으로 회수하기 위하여 활발하게 연구 중이며, 이는 리튬 자원의 지역 편재성 및 가격 변동성을 해소하고 환경오염 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 폐리튬인산철 전지로부터 리튬을 침출 및 회수하기 위하여 동형치환 침출 공정을 사용하였다. 상대적으로 저렴한 염화철 에칭액을 침출제로 사용하여 LFP의 Fe²⁺를 동형 치환하여 리튬을 침출하였다. 또한 추가적인 첨가제 및 추출제 없이 염화철 에칭액만을 사용하였으며, 염화철 에칭액을 LFP 이론적 몰 비 대비 0.7배, 1.0배, 1.3배, 그리고 1.6배로 하여 리튬의 침출율을 비교하였다. LFP 몰 비 대비 1.3배의 조건에서 약 98%로 가장 높은 리튬 침출율을 보였고 이후 침출액은 NaOH를 투입하여 pH 조절을 통하여 철을 제거하였다. 철이 제거된 용액으로부터 탄산리튬을 합성하였고, 그 분말 특성을 확인하였다.

현재 자동차를 포함한 에너지 저장장치 제품에는 리튬 이온 배터리가 주로 사용되고 있으며, 이를 과충전하거나, 고온 상황에 방치하는 잘못된 배터리 관리 상황 발생시 폭발 등 위험한 상황에 노출될 수 있으며, 과방전 시 배터리 불능 상황을 야기한다. 이로 인해 배터리 상태를 관리해주는 시스템이 필요하며 배터리 관리 시스템은 배터리 상태를 정확하게 인지하고 각 셀의 전압을 일정하게 유지하여 최적의 배터리 효율을 얻는 데 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적 리튬이온배터리에 비해 고안전성을 갖는 리튬인산철 배터리팩과 이를 관리하기 위해 Matlab Simulink 기반의 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 셀 특성을 확인할 수 있는 RC등가회로 모델을 이용한 분석방법을 제시하고, 저전력 및 상호통신간섭이 적은 블루투스 기반 BMS 모듈의 알고리즘을 개발하였다.

The relationship of widely used Open circuit Voltage (OCV) versus State of Charge (SOC) is critical for any reliable SOC estimation technique. However, the hysteresis existing in all type of battery which has been come to the market leads this relationship to a complicated one, especially in Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. An accurate model for hysteresis phenomenon is essential for a reliable SOC identification. This paper aims to investigate and propose a method for hysteresis modeling. The SOC estimation is done by using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), the parameter of the battery is modeled by Auto Regressive Exogenous (ARX) and estimated by using Recursive Least Square (RLS) filter to tract each element of the parameter of the model.

High-power lithium batteries are suitable for equipment with high power output needs, such as for ESS's initial start-up. However, their management cost is increased by the installation of air-conditioning to minimize the risk of explosion due to internal temperature rise and also by a restriction on the number of charge/discharge cycles. High-capacity flow batteries, on the other hand, have many advantages. They can be used for over 20 years due to their low management costs, resulting from no risk of explosion and a high number of charge/discharge cycles. In this paper, we propose an ESS based on hybrid batteries that uses a lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO) at the initial startup and a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) from the end of the transient period, with a bi-directional PCS to operate two batteries with different DC voltage levels and using an efficient energy management control algorithm.

Solar energy harvesting is practiced by various nations for the purpose of energy security and environment preservation in order to reduce overdependence on oil. Converting solar energy into electrical energy through Photovoltaic (PV) module can take place either in on-grid or off-grid applications. In recent time Lithium battery is exhibiting its presence in on-grid applications but its role in off-grid application is rarely discussed in the literature. The preliminary capacity and Peukert's study indicated that the battery quality is good and can be subjected for life cycle test. The capacity of the battery was 10.82 Ah at 1 A discharge current and the slope of 1.0117 in the Peukert's study indicated the reaction is very fast and independent on rate of discharge. In this study Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LFP) after initial characterization was subjected to life cycle test which is specific to solar off-grid application as defined in IEC standard. The battery has delivered just 6 endurance units at room temperature before its capacity reached 75% of rated value. The low life of LFP battery in off-grid application is discussed based on State of Charge (SOC) operating window. The battery was operated both in high and low SOC's in off-grid application and both are detrimental to life of lithium battery. High SOC operation resulted in cell-to-cell variation and low SOC operation resulted in lithium plating on negative electrode. It is suggested that to make it more suitable for off-grid applications the battery by default has to be overdesigned by nearly 40% of its rated capacity.

Olivine structure of $LiFePO_4$ (LFP) is one of the most commonly used materials in aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries (ARLBs), and can store and release charge through the insertion/de-insertion of $Li^+$ between LFP and FP. We have fabricated LFP and LFP/FP electrodes on titanium paper and studied their electrochemical properties in 2 M $Li_2SO_4$. The LFP/FP electrode was determined to be a suitable electrode for electo-ostmotic pump (EOP) in terms of efficiency in water and 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution. Experiments to determine the effect of cations and anions on the performance of EOP using LFP/FP electrode have shown that $Li^+$ is the best cation and that the anion does not significantly affect the performance of the EOP. As the concentration of $Li_2SO_4$ solution was increased, the current increased. The flow rate peaked at $4.8{\mu}L/30s$ in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution and then decreased. When the EOP was tested continuously in 1.0 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution, the EOP transported approximately 35 mL of fluid while maintaining a stable flow rate and current for 144 h.

Olivine type $LiFePO_4$ cathode material was synthesized by solid-state reaction method including one-step heat treatment. To improve the electrochemical characteristics, graphite nanofiber (GNF) was added into $LiFePO_4$ cathode material. The structure and morphological performance of $LiFePO_4$ were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD); and a field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The synthesized $LiFePO_4$ has an olivine structure with no impurity, and the average particle size of $LiFePO_4$ is about 200~300 nm. With graphite nanofiber added, the discharge capacity increased from 113.43 mAh/g to 155.63 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 $mA/cm^2$. The resistance was also significantly decreased by the added graphite nanofiber.
