가온 가압법으로 합성한 리튬-흑연섬유간화합물(Li-Graphite Fiber Intercalation Compounds, Li-GFICs)과 리튬-석유코크스층간화합물(Li-Petroleum Cokes Intercalation Compounds, Li-PCICs)을 공기 순환에 의하여 자발적으로 deintercalation시키고, 이 deintercalation의 분해 과정으로 나타나는 Li-GFDICs와 Li-PCICs의 구조를 전기적 성질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 논의하였다. 이에 대한 분석은 X-선 회절과 전기 비저항 측정에 의해 수행되었다. X-선 회절 분석에 의하면 Li-GFDICs의 경우 주로 2 stage가 형성되었고 Li-PCICs의 경우에는 1 stage와 2 stage가 주된 회절선으로 나타났다. 또한 deintercalatlon 반응 결과에 의하면 Li-GFDICs의 경우 5주 이후에, Li-GFDICs의 경우 3주 후에 deintercalation 반응이 각각 멈췄다. 전기 비저항 측정 결과에 의하면 Li-GFDICs의 경우 3주까지는 거의 변화가 없었고 그 후 완만한 상승곡선을 나타내었으며, Li-PCDICs의 경우에는 3주를 정점으로 하향곡선을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과에 의하면 기질로 사용된 흑연섬유와 석유 코크스의 경우 리튬의 원활한 intercalation-deintercalation 작용이 잘 이루어지므로 두 물질 모두 전지의 양극재로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다.

Energy storage/conversion has become crucial not only to meet the present energy demand but also more importantly to sustain the modern society. Particularly, electrical energy storage is critical not only to support electronic, vehicular and load-levelling applications but also to efficiently commercialize renewable energy resources such as solar and wind. While Li-ion batteries are being intensely researched for electric vehicle applications, there is a pressing need to seek for new battery chemistries aimed at stationary storage systems. In this aspect, Zn-ion batteries offer a viable option to be utilized for high energy and power density applications since every intercalated Zn-ion yields a concurrent charge transfer of two electrons and thereby high theoretical capacities can be realized. Furthermore, the simplicity of fabrication under open-air conditions combined with the abundant and less toxic zinc element makes aqueous Zn-ion batteries one of the most economical, safe and green energy storage technologies with prospective use for stationary grid storage applications. Also, Zn-ion batteries are very safe for next-generation technologies based on flexible, roll-up, wearable implantable devices the portable electronics market. Following this advantages, a wide range of approaches and materials, namely, cathodes, anodes and electrolytes have been investigated for Zn-ion batteries applications to date. Herein, we review the progresses and major advancements related to aqueous. Zn-ion batteries, facilitating energy storage/conversion via $Zn^{2+}$ (de)intercalation mechanism.

Synthesis of $Li_2MnSiO_4$ was attempted by the conventional solid-state reaction method, and the phase formation behavior according to the change of the calcination condition was investigated. When the mixture of the three source materials, $Li_2O$, MnO and $SiO_2$ powders, were used for calcination in air, it was difficult to develop the $Li_2MnSiO_4$ phase because the oxidation number of $Mn^{2+}$ could not be maintained. Therefore, two-step calcination was applied: $Li_2SiO_3$ was made from $Li_2O$ and $SiO_2$ at the first step, and $Li_2MnSiO_4$ was synthesized from $Li_2SiO_3$ and MnO at the second step. It was easy to make $Li_2MnSiO_3$ from $Li_2O$ and $SiO_2$. $Li_2MnSiO_4$ single phase was developed by the calcination at $900^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr in Ar atmosphere as the oxidation of $Mn^{2+}$ was prevented. However, the $Li_2MnSiO_4$ was ${\gamma}-Li_2MnSiO_4$, one of the polymorph of $Li_2MnSiO_4$, which could not be used as the cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. By applying the additional low temperature annealing at $400^{\circ}C$, the single phase ${\beta}-Li_2MnSiO_4$ powder was synthesized successfully through the phase transition from ${\gamma}$ to ${\beta}$ phase.

용융분사법으로 나프탈렌계 메조페이스 피치(mP)를 방사하여 산화안정화 속도를 변화시켜 흑연화 섬유의 모폴러지를 제어하였으며, 흑연화 섬유를 이용하여 Li-ion 이차전지 부극을 제조하여 충$\cdot$방전 거동 및 용량을 측정하였다. 용융분사조건에 따라 제조된 피치섬유의 직경은 $4{\mu}m$로부터 $16{\mu}m$까지 다양하였다 이중에서 직경 $10{\mu}m$인 피치섬유를 선택하여 세가지 승온속도 조건 $2^{\circ}C/min,\;5^{\circ}C/min,\;10^{\circ}/min$에서 산화안정화 후 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 탄소화하여 $2650^{\circ}C$에서 흑연화 한 결과, 섬유 단면이 산화안정화 조건 $2^{\circ}C/min$의 경우는 라디알 구조, $5^{\circ}C/min$의 것은 라디알-랜덤 구조, $10^{\circ}C/min$의 경우는 skin-core 구조를 형성하였고, 승온속도가 큰 경우일수록 이흑연화성이 컷다. 이것은 큰 승온속도에서는 탄소화$\cdot$흑연화 과정에서 섬유표면에서만 산화안정화가 일어나고, 내부에서는 피치분자가 유동성이 커 승온과정에서 고결정성의 흑연구조가 발달한 것으로 추측된다. 따라서 이흑연화성이 큰 $10^{\circ}C/min$에서 산화안정화 한 것이 충전방전 용량이 $2^{\circ}C/min$의 경우에 비해서 1.3배로 약 400mAh/g, 충방전 효율도 $96.8\%$로 가장 우수한 특성을 나타냈다.

The pH effect of the precursor solution on the preparation of $LiCoO_2$ by a solution phase reaction containing malonic acid was carried out. Layered $LiCoO_2$ powders were obtained with the precursors prepared at the different pHs (4, 7, and 9) and heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C(LiCoO_2-700)$ or $850^{\circ}C(LiCoO_2-850)$ in air. pHs of the media for precursor synthesis affects the charge/discharge and electrochemical properties of the $LiCoO_2electrodes.$ Upon irrespective of pH of the precursor media, X-ray diffraction spectra recorded for $LiCoO_2-850$ powder showed higher peak intensity ratio of I(003)/I(104) than that of $LiCoO_2-700$, since the better crystallization of the former crystallized better. However, $LiCoO_2$ synthesized at pH 4 displayed an abnormal higher intensity ratio of I(003)/I(104) than those synthesized at pH 7 and 9. The surface morphology of the $LiCoO_2-850$ powders was rougher and more irregular than that of $LiCoO_2-700$ made from the precursor synthesized at pH 7 and 9. The $LiCoO_2electrodes$ prepared with the precursors synthesized at pH 7 and 9 showed a better electrochemical and charge/discharge characteristics. From the AC impedance spectroscopic experiments for the electrode made from the precursor prepared in pH 7, the chemical diffusivity of Li ions (DLi+) in $Li0.58CoO_2determined$ was 2.7 ${\times}$10-8 $cm^2s-1$. A cell composed of the $LiCoO_2-700$ cathode prepared in pH 7 with Lithium metal anode reveals an initial discharge specific capacity of 119.8 mAhg-1 at a current density of 10.0 mAg-1 between 3.5 V and 4.3 V. The full-cell composed with $LiCoO_2-700$ cathode prepared in pH 7 and the Mesocarbon Pitch-based Carbon Fiber (MPCF) anode separated by a Cellgard 2400 membrane showed a good cycleability. In addition, it was operated over 100 charge/discharge cycles and displayed an average reversible capacity of nearly 130 mAhg-1.

최근, 전기차 증가에 따른 리튬 전지의 사용량 증가로 리튬 가격 증가 및 폐리튬전지 발생량이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 폐리튬전지 내 리튬 회수에 대한 연구가 진행되고있다. 본 연구에서는 폐전기차 셀분말의 열처리 조건에 따른 선택적 리튬 침출에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 셀 분말(LiNi_xCo_yMn_zO₂, LiCoO₂)로부터 선택적 리튬 침출을 위해서는 환원을 통한 상변화 및 분리가 필요하다. 폐전기차 셀분말 내 탄소는 고온에서 산소와 반응하여 환원제 역할을 한다. 적정 온도를 알고자 대기/질소 분위기에서 TG-DSC 분석 및 550 ~ 850 ℃ 열처리 후, XRD 분석을 하였다. 열처리 된 분말은 ICP 분석을 위해 D.I water에서 1:10 비율로 침출 후 분석하였다. XRD 분석결과, 700 ℃에서 Li₂CO₃ 피크가 확인되었다. 850 ℃ 열처리 시 Li₂O의 피크가 확인되었는데, 이는 Li₂CO₃가 723 ℃ 이상의 온도에서 Li₂O와 CO₂로 분해되었기 때문이다. 또한 Li₂O와 Al₂O₃와 반응으로 LiAlO₂가 확인되었다. 850 ℃에서 열처리 시 Li 침출율이 낮아졌는데 이는 LiAlO₂가 D.I water에서 침출하지 않기 때문으로 판단된다. 리튬 침출율의 경우 열처리의 조건에 따라 달라지며, 질소 분위기 중 700 ℃로 열처리 시 약 45 %의 리튬침출이 확인되었다. 침출 용액을 고-액분리 후증발농축하여 XRD 분석을 실시한 결과, Li₂CO₃의 피크를 확인하였다.

$Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}(OH)_2$ powders have been synthesized in a continuously stirred tank reactor via a co-precipitation reaction between aqueous metal sulfates and NaOH using $NH_4OH$ as a chelating agent. The co-precipitation temperature is varied in the range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Calcination of the prepared precursors with $Li_2CO_3$ for 8 h at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air results in Li $Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ powders. Two kinds of obtained powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, and tap density measurements. The co-precipitation temperature does not differentiate the XRD patterns of precursors as well as their final powders. Precursor powders are spherical and dense, consisting of numerous acicular or flaky primary particles. The precursors obtained at 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ possess bigger primary particles having more irregular shapes than those at lower temperatures. This is related to the lower tap density measured for the former. The final powders show a similar tendency in terms of primary particle shape and tap density. Electrochemical characterization shows that the initial charge/discharge capacities and cycle life of final powders from the precursors obtained at 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ are inferior to those at $50^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that the optimum co-precipitation temperature is around $50^{\circ}C$.
