A study on the recovery of lithium and leaching behavior of NCM powder by carbon reduction for NCM-system Li-ion battery scraps was conducted. First of all, the oxide powders of NCM-system with layer structure were decomposed by carbon, lithium was converted to lithium carbonate by carbon reaction at above $600^{\circ}C$. The lithium carbonate powders with 99% purity were manufactured by washing method with water and concentration process for NCM powder after carbon reduction. The reaction yield was approximately 88% at $800^{\circ}C$ by carbon reduction. At this time, leaching efficiency at 2M sulfuric acid concentration was over 99% for cobalt, nickel and manganese.

Material and electrochemical characteristics of petroleum coke of the nongraphitic carbon prepated with attrition milling for 6~48 hours and heat-treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was investigated. The milling condition affects the particle size distribution, BET specific surface area and interlayer distance of petroleum cokes. Carbon electrode with petroleum cokes prepared at the milling time of 12~24 hours and having average particle size of $6{\sim}8{\mu}m$ showed best electrochemical characteristics form the investigation of cyclic voltammogram and charge-discharge characteristics.

We have examined conduction properties and electrochemical properties of MCMB 6-28 and MPCF 3000. As results, electrical conductivity of carbon decreased with increasing the number of intercalated lithium ion. MCMB and MPCF showed reversible redox reaction, and the potentials of the oxidized and reduced peaks were 0.3V and 0V, respectively. First discharge capacity of MCMB was 190㎃f/g and that of MPCF was 220㎃h/g. MPCF has good properties for lithium secondary battery.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are receiving attention as a prospective next-generation secondary battery technology that can reduce the risk of commercial lithium-ion batteries by replacing flammable organic liquid electrolytes with non-flammable solid electrolytes. The practical application of ASSLBs requires developing robust solid electrolytes that possess ionic conductivity at room temperature on a par with that of organic liquids. These solid electrolytes must also be thermally and chemically stable, as well as compatible with electrode materials. Inorganic solid electrolytes, including oxide and sulfide-based compounds, are being studied as promising future candidates for ASSLBs due to their higher ionic conductivity and thermal stability than polymer electrolytes. Here, we present the challenges currently facing the development of oxide and sulfide-based solid electrolytes, as well as the research efforts underway aiming to resolve these challenges.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ (LTO) is an anode material for lithium ion battery, and the cycle performance is very good. The volume change of LTO during insertion and deinsertion of lithium ion is very small, so the cyclibility is very high. In this experiment graphene and CNT was added to increase the low conductivity of LTO which is the weak point of LTO. When graphene was located on the surface of LTO the conductivity did not increase so much because of the nano size LTO. Addition of CNT increased the conductivity because of the formation of the conducting network between LTO particle and the graphene. Carbon material addition was changed before and after the LTO manufacturing, and the capacity and the cyclibility was compared.

LiMn2O4 thin fiolm cathodes for Li-ion secondary battery were fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. As-deposited films were amorphous. A spinel structure could not be obtained LiMn2O4 films by in-situ thermal annealing. After post thermal annealing over $700^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere, LiMn2O4 films prepared above 100 W r.f. power could be crystallized into a spinel structure. The electrochemical property of the LiMn2O4 film cathodes was tested in a Li/1 M LiClO4 in PC/LiMn2O4 cell. From cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 2mV/sec of 2.5~4.5V, LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed good initial capacity. LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ showed the best crycling performance.

PVDF-HFP (binder)/silylated alumina (inorganic particle)-coated PE (polyethylene) separators were with various compositions of binder and inorganic particle were prepared by a dip-coating process with humidity control (R.H. 25% and 50%) using electron beam irradiation. The morphology of the coated PVDF-$HFP/Al_2O_3$ layer with various compositions of PVDF-HFP and $Al_2O_3$, and humidity condition was found to be an important factor in determining ionic conductivity of the prepared separators. The PVDF-$HFP/Al_2O_3$ (5/5)-coated PE separator prepared at R.H. 50% followed by electron beam irradiation at 200 kGy was applied for lithium-ion polymer battery and the cell test results showed improved high-rate discharge performance and better cyclic stability compared to the cells with the bare PE and the PVDF-HFP-coated PE separators.

In this study, lithium manganese oxide spinel ($LiMn_{1.9}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.0005}O_4$) as a cathode material of lithium ion secondary batteries is synthesized with spray drying, and in order to increase its crystallinity and electrochemical properties, the granulated $LiMn_{1.9}Fe_{0.1}Nb_{0.0005}O_4$ particle surface is coated with lithium titanium oxide spinel ($Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$) through a sol-gel method. The granulated particles present a higher tap density and lower specific surface area. The crystallinity and discharge capacity of the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ coated material is relatively higher than uncoated material. With the coating layer, the discharge capacity and cycling stability are increased and the capacity fading is suppressed successfully.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. The temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical properties of PMMA/PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio were reported for PMMA/PVDF based polymer electrolyte films, which were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PMMA/PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt. The ion conductivity of PMMA/PVDF electrolytes was 10$\^$-3/S/cm, which may be applicable to a constituent of lithium secondary battery. 5PMMA20PVDFLiC1O$_4$PC$\sub$8/EC$\sub$8/ electrolyte remains stable up to 5V vs. Li/Li$\^$+/. Steady state current method and AC impedance were used for the determination of transference numbers in PMMA/PVDF electrolyte film. The transference number of 5PMMA20PVDFLiC1O$_4$PC$\sub$8/EC$\sub$8/ electrolyte is 0.55.

Lithium secondary battery with gel polymer electrolyte, which was composed of POAGA and TEGDMA, was prepared and its cell performances were evaluated. Collation time decreased with increasing the contents of the monomer in the POAGA-based gel polymer electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte was stable up to 4.5V electro-chemically and its ionic conductivity was $5.2\times10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ at room temperature. The lithium-ion polymer battery with $3.0wt\%$ curable monomer and $1.0wt\%$ monomer showed rate-capability, low-temperature performance and cycleability.
