Abstract

[ $LiCoO_{2}$ ] nanoparticles were synthesized from leach liquor of lithium ion battery waste using flame spray pyrolysis. Electrode Materials containing lithium and cobalt could be concentrated with thermal and mechanical treatment. After dissolution of used cathode materials of the lithium battery with nitric acid, the molar ratio of Li/Co in the leach liquor was adjusted at 1.0 by adding a fresh $LiNO_{3}$ solution. The nanoparticles synthesized by the flame spray pyrolysis showed clear crystallinity and were nearly spherical, and their average primary particle diameters ranged from 11 to 35 nm. The average particle diameter increased with an increase in the molar concentration of the precursor. Raising the maximum flame temperature by controlling the gas flow rates also led to an increase in the average diameter of the particles. The $LiCoO_{2}$ powder was proved to have good characteristics as cathode active materials in charge/discharge capacity and cyclic performance.

페리튬이온전지로부터 회수된 코발트와 리튬 침출액으로부터 화염분부열분해법에 의하여 $LiCoO_{2}$ 나노분말을 제조하였다. 리튬 및 코발트 성분을 함유하는 전극물질은 열처리 및 기계적 처리에 의해 그 농도를 증가 시켰다. 리튬이온전지 양극물질을 질산으로 용해한 다음 침출액중 Li과 Co의 당량비가 1.0 되도록 $LiNO_{3}$로 조절하여 화염분무열분해용 전구체를 제조하었다. 화염분무열분해법에 의해 제조된 $LiCoO_{2}$ 분말의 평균입자크기는 전구체의 몰 농도가 증가하면서 증가되었으며, 화염온도 역시 입자의 크기를 증가시켰다. 변수실험 결과 $11{\~}35nm$ 크기의 결정형 $LiCoO_{2}$ 나노분말을 제조할 수 있었다 또한 나노 $LiCoO_{2}$의 전극재료로서의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 충방전 특성 평가와 같은 전기화학적 분석을 수행하였다.
