Ni-rich cathode materials have been developed as the most promising candidates for next-generation cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and energy density. In particular, the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries could be enhanced by increasing the contents of nickel ion. However, there are still limitations, such as low structural stability, cation mixing, low capacity retention and poor rate capability. Herein, we have successfully developed the nanorod-type Ni-rich cathode materials by using co-precipitation method. Particularly, the nanorod-type primary particles of LiNi_0.7Co_0.15Mn_0.15O₂ could facilitate the electron transfer because of their longitudinal morphology. Moreover, there were holes at the center of secondary particles, resulting in high permeability of the electrolyte. Lithium-ion batteries using the prepared nanorod-type LiNi_0.7Co_0.15Mn_0.15O₂ achieved highly improved electrochemical performance with a superior rate capability during battery cycling.

In this paper, we report on a study of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces of MCMB/$LiCoO_2$ cell using Ion-chromatography. The cells for the experiments were preconditioned by cycling three times and stabilized at OCV of 3.0V 4.35V and 4.5V. The stabilized cathode electrode was used for surface characterization investigations. Concerning the $LiCoO_2$/electrolyte interfaces, the result obtained have shown the presence of $F^-\;and\;CO_3^{2-}$ on the surface of cathode electrode as well as increasing the concentration of ions as cell voltage increase.

Theoretical calculations on the stabilization energies of framework atoms in hydrolyses Co(Ⅱ )-exchanged zeolite A were made using some potential energy functions and optimization program. The protons which are produced by hydrolysis of $[Co(H_2O)_n]^{2+}$ ion in large cavity showed a tendency to attack the framework oxygen atom O(1) preferentially, and the oxygen atom O(4) within OH- ion was coordinated at Al atom. The weakness of bonds between T(Si, Al) and oxygen by attack of proton and too large coordination number around small aluminum atom will make the framework of Co(Ⅱ)-exchanged zeolite A more unstable. The stabilization energy of $Co_4Na_4$-A framework (- 361.57 kcal/mol) was less than that of thermally stable zeolite A($Na_{12-}$A: - 419.68 kcal/mol) and greater than that of extremely unstable Ba(Ⅱ)-exchanged zeolite A($Ba_{6-}$A: - 324.01 kcal/mol). All the data of powder X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopy of Co(Ⅱ)-exchanged zeolite A showed the evidence of instability of its framework in agreement with the theoretical calculation. Three different groups of water molecules are found in hydrated Co(Ⅱ )-exchanged zeolite A; W(Ⅰ) group of water molecules having only hydrogen-bonds, W(Ⅱ) group water coordinated to $Na^+$ ion, ans W(Ⅲ) group water coordinated to Co(Ⅱ) ion. The averaged interaction energy of each water group shows the decreasing order of W(Ⅲ)>W(Ⅱ)>W(Ⅰ).

Ni-rich cathode is one of the promising candidates for high-energy lithium-ion battery applications. Due to its specific capacity, easy industrialization, and good circulation ability, Ni-rich cathode materials have been widely used for lithium-ion batteries. However, due to the limitation of the co-precipitation method, including sewage pollution, and the instability of the long production cycles, developing a new efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic approach is critical. In this study, the Ni_0.91Co_0.06Mn_0.03CO₃ precursor powder was successfully synthesized by an efficient spray-drying method using carbonate compounds as a raw material. This Ni_0.91Co_0.06Mn_0.03CO₃ precursor was calcined by mixing with LiOH·H₂O (5 wt% excess) at 480℃ for 5 hours and then sintered at two different temperatures (780℃/800℃) for 15 hours under an oxygen atmosphere to complete the cathode active material preparation, which is a key component of lithium-ion batteries. As a result, LiNi_0.91Co_0.06Mn_0.03O₂ cathode active material powders were obtained successfully via a simple sintering process on the Ni_0.91Co_0.06Mn_0.03CO₃ precursor powder. Furthermore, the obtained LiNi_0.91Co_0.06Mn_0.03O₂ cathode active material powders were characterized. Overall, the material sintered at 780℃ shows superior electrochemical performance by delivering a discharge capacity of 190.76 mAh/g at 1^st cycle (0.1 C) and excellent capacity retention of 66.80% even after 50 cycles.

$Co_3O_4$ nanocrystals have been synthesized via an ordinary one-step calcination of a cobalt-based 2D coordination polymer [Co(tfbdc)(4,4'-bpy)$(H_2O)_2$]. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the obtained $Co_3O_4$ nanocrystals exhibit high reversible capacity, excellent cyclic stability and better rate capability. The reversible capacity of the $Co_3O_4$ nanocrystals maintains $713mA\;h\;g^{-1}$ after 50 cycles at a current density of $50mA\;g^{-1}$. Our results confirm that searching for metal oxides nanomaterials used as anode materials of lithium ion batteries via the calcinations of 2D coordination polymer is a new route.

The layered $Na_{0.6}Li_{0.6}[Mn_{0.72}Ni_{0.18}Co_{0.10}]O_2$ composite with well crystalized and high specific capacity is prepared by molten-salt method and using the substitution of Na for Li-ion battery. The effects of annealing temperature, time, Na contents, and electrochemical performance are investigated. In XRD analysis, the substitution of Na-ion resulted in the P2-$Na_{2/3}MO_2$ structure ($Na_{0.70}MO_{2.05}$), which co-exists in the $Na_{0.6}Li_{0.6}[Mn_{0.72}Ni_{0.18}Co_{0.10}]O_2$ composites. The discharge capacities of cathode materials exhibited $284mAhg^{-1}$ with higher initial coulombic efficiency.

폐리륨이온전지의 재활용 일환으로 폐전지에서 분리한 양극활물질인 $LiCoO_2$로부터 Li과 Co룹 회수하기 위하여 침출거동올 조사하였다. 전 연구에서 얻은 최적조건에서 $LiCoO_2$를 1M 황산과 질산으료 침출하였을 때 Li과 Co의 침출율이 각각 70-80%, 40%로 Co의 침출율이 낮았다. 환원제를 첨가한 경우 Li과 Co의 침출율이 증가하였는데, 특히 $Na_2S_2O_3$ 및 $H_2O_2$ 와 같은 환원제에서 질산침출을 하는 경우 Li괴- Co의 용해가 거의 95% 이상 이루어졌다. 이는 환원제가 $Co^{3+}$를 $Co^{2+}$로 환원시켜 침출이 용이해졌기 때문으로 생각된다. 변수설험을 통하여 얻은 최적의 조건(광액농도 10g/l 반응온도 $75^{\circ}C$, 교반속도 400 rpm' 1.7 vol% $H_2O_2$)에서 폐리튬이온전지로부터 선별하고 열처리한 $LiCoO_2$ 분말을 침출 실험한 결과, Li과 Co의 침출율이 각각 99% 이상이었으며, 이는 충방전이 거듭되면서 양극활물질인 $LiCoO_2$이 화학적으로 활성화되었거나 Li의 탈착으로 겸정구조가 불안하기 때문으로 생각된다.

Theoretical studies of concentration for negative ion and neutral species in electrical excitation discharge have been conducted at $CO_2-N_2-He=1-7-12$, total pressure 20torr. With a computer model of neutral and negative ion processes we have calculated that the concentration of co was less than 20% when expected molecular.

$Bi_2Sr_2Ca_nCu_{n+1}O_y$($n{\geq}0$; BSCCO)thin film is fabricated via two different processes using an ion beam sputtering method i.e. co-deposition and layer-by-layer deposition. A single phase of Bi2212 can be fabricated via the co-deposition process. While it cannot be obtained by the layer-by-layer process. Ultra-low growth rate in our ion beam sputtering system brings out the difference in Bi element adsorption between the two processes and results in only 30% adsorption against total incident Bi amount by layer-by-layer deposition, in contrast to enough Bi adsorption by co-deposition.
