Transition metal oxide-based electrodes for lithium ion batteries have recently attracted much attention because of their high theoretical capacity. Here we report the electrochemical behavior of cobalt oxide nanorods as anodes, prepared by a template-free, one-step electrochemical deposition of cobalt nanorods, followed by an oxidation process. The as-deposited cobalt has a slightly convex columnar structure, and controlled thermal oxidation produces cobalt oxides of different Co/O ratios, while the original shape is largely preserved. As an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery, the Co/O ratio has a strong effect on initial capacity and cycling stability. In particular, the one-dimensional Co@Co_xO_y core shell structure obtained from a mild heat-treatment results in superior cycling stability.

The stabilized all-solid-state battery structure indicate a fundamental alternative to the development of next-generation energy storage devices. Existing liquid electrolyte structures severely limit battery stability, creating safety concerns due to the growth of Li dendrites during rapid charge/discharge cycles. In this study, a low-dimensional graphene quantum dot layer structure was applied to demonstrate stable operating characteristics based on Li+ ion conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance. Transmission electron microscopy analysis was performed to elucidate the microstructure at the interface. The low-dimensional structure of GQD-based solid electrolytes has provided an important strategy for stable scalable solid-state lithium battery applications at room temperature. This study indicates that the low-dimensional carbon structure of Li-GQDs can be an effective approach for the stabilization of solid-state Li matrix architectures.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ (LTO)는 리튬이차전지용 음극활물질로써 충방전에 따른 체적변화가 매우 적고, 삽입과 탈리 반응에 따른 높은 가역성 때문에 수명 특성이 좋다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LTO의 단점인 낮은 전기전도도를 보완하고자 전도성이 좋은 탄소계열 소재인 그래핀과 CNT를 첨가 하였다. LTO입자가 나노 크기이므로, 그래핀이 LTO표면에 위치하여 전도성 향상을 시키기 어렵다고 생각했다. 따라서 추가로 CNT를 첨가시켜 LTO입자와 그래핀 사이에 전도성 네트워크를 형성하여, 그래핀만 첨가하였을 때 보다 전도성이 향상되었다. 또한 탄소물질의 첨가 시점을 LTO합성 전후로 나누어, 각각의 용량 및 수명특성의 효율을 비교해 보았다.

Size controlled, $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ cathode powders were prepared by co-precipitation method followed by heat treatment at temperatures between 750 and $850^{\circ}C$. The synthesized samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical performance. The synthesized $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ after calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ has a good electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of $190mAhg^{-1}$ and good capacity retention of 100% after 30 cycles at 0.1C ($17mAg^{-1}$). The capacity retention of $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ after calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ is better than that at 800 and $850^{\circ}C$ without capacity loss at various high C rates. This is ascribed to the minimized cation disorder, a higher conductivity, and higher lithium ion diffusion coefficient ($D_{Li}$) observed in this material. In the differential scanning calorimetry DSC profile of the charged sample, the generation of heat by exothermic reaction was decreased by calcined at high temperature, and this decrease is especially at $850^{\circ}C$. This behavior implies that the high temperature calcinations of $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ prevent phase transitions with the release of oxygen.

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.

NCM계 폐리튬전지 공정 스크랩 재활용의 연구에 일환으로서 리튬화합물의 회수와 NCM 전구체를 제조하기 위한 침출거동에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이와 같은 목적을 달성하고자 수소를 이용하여 NCM계 스크랩 분말을 환원한 후, 먼저 $CO_2$ 가스로 탄산리튬을 회수하고, 산에 의한 침출거동을 연구하였다. 수소에 의한 환원율은 $800^{\circ}C$에서 약 93%를 나타내었으며, 수세에 의해 약 99%순도의 탄산리튬을 제조하였다. 그리고 수소환원 처리 전후 분말에 대한 산 침출거동을 비교한 결과, 수소환원 처리에 의하여 2M 황산농도에서 코발트 32%, 니켈 45%의 침출효과가 향상되었으며, 망간의 경우에는 약 90% 정도 침출되었다.

리튬이온 배터리(LIB)는 다른 배터리에 비해 수명이 길고, 에너지 밀도가 높으며, 자체 방전율이 낮아, 에너지 저장장치(ESS)로 선호되고 있다. 하지만, 2017~2019년 기간 동안 국내에서만도 28건의 화재사고가 발생하였으며, LIB의 운영 중 안전성 및 신뢰성을 보장하기 위해 LIB의 정확한 용량추정은 필수요소이다. 본 연구에서는 LIB의 충방전 cycle에 따른 용량변화를 예측하는 기계학습 기반 모델의 설계에 있어 중요한 요소인 최적 머신러닝 모델의 선정을 위해, Decision Tree, 앙상블학습법, Support Vector Regression, Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) 각각을 이용한 예측모델을 구현하고 성능비교를 실시하였다. 학습을 위해 NASA에서 제공하는 시험데이터를 사용하였으며, GPR이 가장 좋은 예측성능을 보였다. 이를 바탕으로 추가 시험데이터 학습을 통해 개선된 LIB 용량예측과 잔여 수명추정 모델을 개발하여, 운영 중 이상 감지 및 모니터링 성능을 높여, 보다 안전하고 안정된 ESS 운용에 활용하고자 한다.

This study examined the utility of two zwitterions, nitrile-functionalized zwitterions and a zwitterion without a nitrile group (MF-ZI), were used as additives along with 1 M $LiPF_6$ in ethylene carbonate (EC):diethylene carbonate (DEC) (3:7 V/V) (E-0) to form an electrolyte solution for use in lithium ion batteries comprising graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes. The presence of NF-ZI (E-NF-ZI) in the electrolyte produced an ion conductivity comparable to that of E-0 and higher than that of an electrolyte containing MF-ZI (E-MF-ZI). Linear sweep voltammetry data revealed that the intensity of the E-NF-ZI reduction peak was lower than that of E-0. Furthermore, the successful formation of an SEI layer in the E-NF-ZI over graphite was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry data. These results were attributed to the adsorption of NF-ZI on the electrode surface, as verified by differential capacity measurements.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been rapidly expanding from IT based applications to uses in electric vehicles (EVs), smart grids, and energy storage systems (ESSs), all of which require low cost, high energy density and high power density. The increasing demand for LIBs has resulted in increasing price of the lithium source, which is a major obstacle to wider application. To date, the possible depletion of lithium resources has become relevant, giving rise to the interest in Na-ion batteries (NIBs) as promising alternatives to LIBs. A lot of transition metal compounds based on conversion-alloying reaction have been extensively investigated to meet the requirement for the anodes with high energy density and long life-time. In-depth understanding the electrochemical reaction mechanisms for the transition metal compounds makes it promising negative anode for NIBs and provides feasible strategy for low cost and large-scale energy storage system in the near future.

Electrochemical characteristics of a graphite/lithium and a $LiCoO_2/lithium$ half cell and a $graphite/LiCoO_2$ full cell were analyzed using a GCSOC (gradual control test of the state of charge) technique. The IIE (initial intercalation coulombic efficiency), which represents lithium intercalation property of the electrode material, and the $lIC_s$ (initial irreversible capacity by the surface), which represents irreversible reaction between the electrode surface and the electrolyte were obtained from the GCSOC analysis. Linear-fittable capacity ranges of IIE of graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were 370 and 150 mAh/g, respectively, based on material weight. The value of lIE for graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were $93-94\%$ and $94-95\%$, respectively. The value of IICs for graphite and $LiCoO_2$ electrodes were 15-17 mAh/g and 0.3-1.7 mAh/g, respectively. The value of IIE for $graphite/LiCoO_2$ full cell, used GX25 and DJG311 as a graphite, was $89-90\%$ that lower than that for the half cells. Parameters of IIE and IICs can also be used to represent not only half cell but also full cell.
