Cathode materials and their precursors are prepared with transition metal solutions recycled from the the waste lithium-ion batteries containing NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) cathodes by a $H_2$ and C-reduction process. The recycled transition metal sulfate solutions are used in a co-precipitation process in a CSTR reactor to obtain the transition metal hydroxide. The NCM cathode materials (Ni:Mn:Co=5:3:2) are prepared from the transition metal hydroxide by calcining with lithium carbonate. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses show that the cathode material has a layered structure and particle size of about 10 ${\mu}m$. The cathode materials also exhibited a capacity of about 160 mAh/g with a retention rate of 93~96% after 100 cycles.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the primary challenge in renewable energy storage technologies, specifically electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen generation. We report effects of Mo doping into Ni layered double hydroxide (Ni-LDH) microcrystal on electrocatalytic activities. In this study, Mo doped Ni-LDH were grown on three-dimensional porous nicekl foam (NF) by a facile solvothermal method. Homogeneous LDH structure on the NF was clearly observed. However, the surface microstructure of the nickel foam began to be irregular and collapsed when Mo precursor is doped. Electrocatalytic OER properties were analyzed by Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The amount of Mo doping used in the electrocatalytic reaction was found to play a crucial role in improving catalytic activity. The optimum Mo amount introduced into the Ni LDH was discussed with respect to their OER performance.

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.

Alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts have been widely studied for improving the efficiency and green hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting. Transition metal-based electrocatalysts have emerged as promising materials that can significantly reduce the hydrogen production costs. Among the available electrocatalysts, transition metal-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have demonstrated outstanding OER performance owing to the abundant active sites and favorable adsorption-desorption energies for OER intermediates. Currently, cobalt doped nickel LDHs (NiCo LDHs) are regarded as the benchmark electrocatalyst for alkaline OER, primarily owing to the physicochemical synergetic effects between Ni and Co. We report effects of heat-treatment of the as-grown NiCo LDH on electrocatalytic activities in a temperature range from 250 to 400℃. Electrocatalytic OER properties were analysed by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The heat-treatment temperature was found to play a crucial role in catalytic activity. The optimum heat-treatment temperature was discussed with respect to their OER performance.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the constituents of Pyrolusitum, which was used to eliminate static blood and inflammation, to establish the basis of clinical application. Methods: Qualitative analysis was performed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) using the sample as a powder, and the elemental content of granular sample was measured by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). 1 M hydrochloric acid and 5% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were added to observe the changing shape, respectively. Results: Qualitative analysis by XRD revealed that the Pyrolusitum samples used in the study contained quarts and kaolinite. Quantitative analysis by XRF revealed that the manganese content in the samples used in the study was 6.16% on average, while iron was contained the highest amount of 22.99%. The minor constituents include 1.08% of titanium, 0.30% of barium, 0.18% of lead, 0.06% of zirconium, 0.05% of chromium, 0.04% of zinc, 0.03% of cadnium, 0.02% of nickel, 0.01% of arsenic, 0.01% of copper, 0.01% of rubidium, 0.01% of strontium, 0.00% of molybdenum, respectively. And cobalt, which is reported to be a constituent of Pyrolusitum, was not detected at all in the samples of the study. Pyrolusitum was dissolved in dark brown when it was put into 1 M hydrochlorid acid, and there was brown precipitate when sodium hydroxide solution was added to Pyrolusitum and stirred. Conclusions: It was found that manganese and iron were the major constituents of Pyrolusitum, and it could be identified by using concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution.

수소 생산을 위한 물 분해 시스템의 효율성을 높이려면 산소 발생 반응(OER, Oxygen Evolution Reaction)에서 촉매로 인해 발생하는 전기화학 반응의 높은 과전압을 감소시켜야 한다. 그중 전이금속을 포함하는 LDH(Layered Double Hydroxide)와 같은 화합물은 현재 사용되고 있는 백금 등의 귀금속을 대체할 수 있는 촉매 소재로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저렴한 금속 다공성 물질인 니켈 폼을 지지체로 사용하였고, 수열합성 공정을 통해 NiCo LDH 나노결정을 합성하였다. 또한, OER 특성을 향상시키기 위해 Mo를 도핑하여 합성한 Mo 도핑된 NiCo LDH 나노결정 시료의 형태, 결정구조, 물분해 특성의 변화를 관찰하였다.

용매추출법을 이용하여 스텐레스 산세폐액으로부터 산과 니켈 및 크롬 등의 유가금속을 효과적으로 회수하기 위한 처리공정을 개발하고자 하였다. 현재까지 일본, 스웨덴 및 캐나다 등에서 이와같은 폐산을 처리하기 위한 몇가지 기술이 개발된 바 있으나 이들 방법은 대부분 산의 회수만을 주목적으로 한 것이기 때문에 폐산에 함유된 금속성분이 수산화물 스러지로 그대로 폐기되는 결점을 지니고 있다. 본 실험은 질산 및 불산과 함께 금속성분인 니켈과 크롬을 회수하여 정제산을 산세공정에 재상용하는 한편 처리과정에서 발생하는 스러지양을 최소한으로 줄이고자 하는 목적에서 시도되었다. 질산과 불산의 혼산은 TBP를 추출재로 사용한 용매추출에 의해 효과적으로 회수할 수 있었으며 여기에서 나온 폐액은 중화침전에 의해 철분을 제거한 다음 최종적으로 D2EHPA를 추출제로 사용하여 니켈과 크롬을 분리회수 할수 있었다.

In this study, phosphorus (P)-doped nickel cobaltite (P-NiCo₂O₄) and nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (P-NiCo-LDH) were synthesized on nickel (Ni) foam as a conductive support using hydrothermal synthesis. The thermal properties, crystal structure, microscopic surface morphology, chemical distribution, electronic state of the constituent elements on the sample surface, and electrical properties of the synthesized P-NiCo₂O₄ and P-NiCo-LDH samples were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The P-NiCo₂O₄ electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 1,129 Fg^-1 at a current density of 1 Ag^-1, while the P-NiCo-LDH electrode displayed a specific capacitance of 1,012 Fg^-1 at a current density of 1 Ag-1. When assessing capacity changes for 3,000 cycles, the P-NiCo₂O₄ electrode exhibited a capacity retention rate of 54%, whereas the P-NiCo-LDH electrode showed a capacity retention rate of 57%.

The organic-capped Ba-Ti-O nanolayers were coated uniformly on spherical Ni particles for multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) applications via the formation of Ti-hydroxide nano-coating layers and their subsequent reaction with Ba-stearate at $180^{\circ}C$. The capping of organic shell on oxide coating layer changed the hydrophilic surface structure into hydrophobic one, which significantly improved the dispersion behavior in hydrophobic solvents such as terpineol and butanol. In addition, the uniform coating of Ba-Ti-O layer was advantageous to prevent Ni oxidation. This method provides a useful chemical route to fabricate organic-soluble Ba-Ti-O coated Ni particles for a highly integrated passive component.

알루미늄 (Al) 금속을 전구체 및 구조체로 이용, 수열 반응을 통하여 Al@Al₂O₃와 Al@Ni-Al LDH (LDH = layered double hydroxide) 코어-쉘 복합 구조체를 합성하였다. 제조된 구조체의 형상, 조성, 결정 구조는 수용액에 존재하는 이온들에 의하여 크게 영향을 받았으며, 이를 활용하여 다양한 특성의 촉매 구조체 유도가 가능하였다. Al@Ni-Al LDH 코어-쉘 구조체의 환원을 통하여 Ni 나노 입자가 고정화된 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매를 제조하였고, CO₂ 메탄화 반응에 적용하여 촉매의 특성을 평가하였다. Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매는 전통적 incipient wetness impregnation 방법에 의하여 제조된 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매에 비교하여 Ni 입자의 분산도와 균일성이 매우 높았으며 약 2 배 이상의 CO₂ 전환율로 높은 촉매적 활성과 더불어 구조의 안정성을 보여 주었다. 이러한 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 구조체 촉매의 우수한 특성은 Al 금속을 기반으로 한 새로운 개념의 촉매 구조체 설계와 합성 방법의 타당성을 보여준다.
