Lithium-sulphur batteries were fabricated in a dry room, and their electrochemical properties were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and charge-discharge tests. SEM results showed that sulphur and nanocarbon powders were mixed homogeneously, and sulphur powders were enwrapped by a large amount of carbon powders. The charge-discharge test results demonstrated that the lithium-sulphur battery displayed excellent reversibility and cycling performance, which supplied a discharge capacity of $788.1mAh\;g^{-1}$ at the first cycle and $796.4mAh\;g^{-1}$ after 71 cycles at room temperature, respectively.

It is hard to employ the carbon materials or the lithium metal foil for the anode of lithium sulfur batteries because of the poor passivation in ether-based electrolytes and the formation of lithium dendrites, respectively. Herein, we investigated the electrochemical characteristics of lithium sulfur batteries with lithiated silicon anode in the liquid electrolytes based on ether solvents. The silicon anodes were lithiated by direct contact with lithium foil in a 1M lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) solution in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) at a volume ratio of 1:1. They were readily lithiated up to ~40% of their theoretical capacity with a 30 min contact time. In particular, the carbon mesh reported in our previous work was employed in order to maximize the performance by capturing the dissolved polysulfide in sulfur cathode. The reversible specific capacity of the lithiated silicon-sulfur batteries with carbon mesh was 1,129 mAh/g during the first cycle, and was maintained at 297 mAh/g even after 50 cycles at 0.2 C, without any problems of poor passivation or lithium dendrite formation.

본 연구는 자동차 폐리튬 이차전지의 모듈로부터 재생할 수 있는 자원을 효율적으로 회수하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 모듈의 셀은 구리 박막, 알루미늄 박막, 그리고 이들 사이는 폴리머 재질의 격막으로 이루어져 있다. 셀은 특별히 제작한 글러브 상자 안에서 그리고 여러 번의 단계를 거쳐 손상 없이 완전히 해체 하였다. 우선적으로 양극활물질은 400 ℃에서 열처리하여 알루미늄 박막으로부터 분리하였다. 그런 후 분리된 양극활물질은 잔류되어 있는 탄소 성분을 제거하기 위해 800 ℃에서의 소성 후에 최종적으로 높은 순도로 회수되었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 해서, 알루미늄 박막으로부터 양극활물질을 구성하고 있는 코발트(Co), 니켈(Ni), 망간(Mn), 리튬(Li)과 같은 희유금속들을 80% 이상 회수할 수 있었다.

Using a high pressure homonizer, we report on the electrochemical performance of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}(LTO)$ particles manufactured as anode active material for lithium ion battery. High-pressure synthesis processing is performed under conditions in which the mole fraction of Li/Ti is 0.9, the synthesis pressure is 2,000 bar and the numbers of passings-through are 5, 7 and 10. The observed X-ray diffraction patterns show that pure LTO is manufactured when the number of passings-through is 10. It is found from scanning electron microscopy analysis that the average size of synthesized particles decreases as the number of passings-through increases. $LiCoO_2-based$ active cathode materials are used to fabricate several coin half/full cells and their battery characteristics such as lifetime, rate capability and charge transfer resistance are then estimated, revealing quite good electrochemical performance of the LTO particles as an effective anode active material for lithium secondary batteries.

The fluorine-substituted $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode materials were synthesized by using the transition metal precursor, $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O$ and LiF. This was to facilitate the movement of lithium ions by forming more compact SEI layer and to reduce the dissolution of transition metals. The $0.3Li_2MnO_3{\cdot}0.7Li[Mn_{0.60}Ni_{0.25}Co_{0.15}]O_{2-x}F_x$ cathode material was sphere-shaped and each secondary particle had $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$ in size. The fluorine-substituted cathodes initially delivered low discharge capacity, but it gradually increased until 50th charge-discharge cycles. These results indicated that fluorine substitution gave positive effects on the structural stabilization and resistance reduction in materials.

In the case of a metal sulfide electrode, it is used as an anode or cathode active material in a lithium battery. The reason is that the voltage exists between 0.8 and 2.0 V via lithium electrode and the discharge and charge capacity is high. In order to manufacture nickel sulfide for electrode, which are widely used, nano-nickel powder was sulfided using ammonium polysulfide, and single-phase NiS electrodes were manufactured through heat treatment. The prepared NiS electrode had a high initial capacity of 500 mAh/g or more, and was stabilized after 20 cycles to maintain a capacity of 400 mAh/g or more until 100 cycles.

폐리튬계 이차전지로부터 유가금속을 회수하는 것은 한정된 지구자원의 활용 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 최근 자동차의 전지로 많이 사용하고 있는 LiFePO₄ 전지 양극재 성분에는 리튬이 약 5.2% 함유되어 있으며, 사용 후 전지에서 리튬 재활용을 통하여 다시 전지의 원료로써 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐LiFePO₄ 양극재 분말에 함유된 리튬을 선택적으로 침출하기 위하여 일반적으로 많이 사용하고 있는 무기산의 일종인 저농도 황산을 이용하였다. 그리고 각 성분의 침출율 및 분리효율을 비교·분석을 위하여 침출 시 광액농도를 변수로 2 스텝 침출 공정을 적용하여 최적의 침출조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 광액농도를 변수로 침출 시 철 및 인 성분이 거의 침출되지 않는 200 g/L의 광액농도 조건에서는 타 조건과 분리 효율이 약 200배 이상 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 리튬의 선택적 침출 및 회수에 있어서 침출조건을 최적화하였다.
