This study examined the influence of operating parameters on the electrosorptive recovery system of lithium ions from aqueous solutions using a spinel-type lithium manganese oxide adsorbent electrode and investigated the electrosorption kinetics and isotherms. The results revealed that the electrosorption data of lithium ions from the lithium containing aqueous solution were well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm at electrical potentials lower than -0.4 V and to the Freundlich isotherm at electrical potentials higher than -0.4 V. This result may due to the formation of a thicker electrical double layer on the surface of the electrode at higher electrical potentials. The results showed that the electrosorption reached equilibrium within 200 min under an electrical potential of -1.0 V, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was correlated with the experimental data. Moreover, the adsorption of lithium ions was dependent on pH and temperature, and the results indicate that higher pH values and lower temperatures are more suitable for the electrosorptive adsorption of lithium ions from aqueous solutions. Thermodynamic results showed that the calculated activation energy of $22.61kJ\;mol^{-1}$ during the electrosorption of lithium ions onto the adsorbent electrode was primarily controlled by a physical adsorption process. The recovery of adsorbed lithium ions from the adsorbent electrode reached the desorption equilibrium within 200 min under reverse electrical potential of 3.5 V.

The adsorption experiments of lithium ions were conducted in the fixed bed column packed with activated carbon modified with nitric acid. Effect of inlet concentration, bed hight and flow rate on the removal of lithium ions was investigated. The experimental results showed that the removal and the adsorption capacity of lithium ions increased with increasing inlet concentration, and decreased with increasing flow rate. When the bed height increased, the removal and the adsorption capacity increased. The breakthrough curves gave a good fit to Bohart-Adams model. Adsorption capacity and breakthrough time calculated from Bohart-Adams model, these results were remarkably consistent with the experimental values. The adsorption capacity was not changed in the case of 3 times repetitive use of adsorbent.

In this study, PVC-LMO beads were prepared by immobilizing lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with poly vinyl chloride (PVC) diluted in dioxane solvent. XRD and SEM analysis confirmed that LMO was immobilized well in PVC-LMO beads. The diameter of PVC-LMO beads prepared by dioxane solvent was about 2 mm. The adsorption experiments of lithium ions by PVC-LMO beads were conducted batchwise. The optimum pH was pH 10. The adsorption characteristics of lithium ions by PVC-LMO beads was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir model was 24.25 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ were evaluated. The calculated ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ was between -6.16 and -4.14 kJ/mol (below zero), indicating the spontaneous nature of $Li^+$ adsorption on PVC-LMO beads. Also, the results showed that PVC-LMO beads prepared in this study could be used for the removal of lithium ions from seawater containing coexisting ions such as $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$.

In order to recover lithium ions from aqueous solution, a novel SAN-LMO beads were prepared by immobilizing lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with styrene acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN). The optimum condition for synthesis of SAN-LMO beads was 5 g of LMO and 3 g of SAN content. The characterization of the prepared SAN-LMO beads by SEM and XRD were confirmed that LMO was immobilized in SAN-LMO beads. The removal and the distribution coefficient of lithium ions decreased with increasing lithium ion concentration and solution pH. Even when the prepared SAN-LMO beads were reused 5 times, the leakage of LMO and the damage of SAN-LMO beads was not observed.

Dialysis is the rate-limiting step in the preparation of aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution. However, the traditional practice of dialyzing SF solution for at least 48 h to remove LiBr is not based on empirical evidence. The aim of the present study was to systematically measure LiBr content in SF solutions dialyzed for varying lengths of time and assess the potential toxicity of residual lithium ions in cells. Complete removal of lithium ions was not achieved even after 72 h of dialysis, with a residual lithium ion content in the solution of 22.85 mg/l. SF films prepared from solutions dialyzed for 8 and 24 h had predominantly random coil or b-sheet structures, respectively. The residual lithium had little cytotoxicity in NIH3T3 fibroblast cells, but viability was compromised in cells grown on SF film prepared from solution dialyzed for 24 h.

본 연구에서는 EVA를 바인더로 사용하여 우레탄 폼(PU)에 LMO를 고정화한 PU-LMO를 제조하였다. XRD 및 SEM 분석을 통해서 EVA에 의해 LMO가 폴리우레탄에 잘 고정화된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. PU-LMO를 제조시에 EVA/LMO의 최적비율은 0.26이었다. PU-LMO에 의한 리튬이온의 흡착 속도는 유사 2차 속도 모델식에 잘 부합하였다. 평형실험 데이터는 Langmuir 흡착 등온식에 잘 적용되었으며, 최대 흡착량은 17.09 mg/g이었다. PU-LMO는 리튬이온에 대한 분배계수($K_d$)가 다른 금속들의 $K_d$ 값에 비해 높게 나타나 뛰어난 리튬 이온 선택성과 높은 흡착량을 보였다.

수산화리튬(LiOH)에 대한 수요는 현재의 대안들에 비해 환경에 대한 효율성과 안전성 때문에 매년 증가하고 있다. 리튬은 다른 염분과 염수 호수에서 발견될 수 있으며, 나중에 합성되어 다양한 용도로 LiOH를 생성한다. 리튬 이온을 분리 및 회수하기 위해 다양한 방법이 사용되며, 그 중 가장 일반적인 방법은 전기투석법(ED)이다. ED는 이온을 한쪽에서 다른 쪽으로 밀어내는 구동력으로서 그 층의 전위차에 작용하는 멤브레인 기반 분리 기술이다. ED의 이온교환막(IEM)은 유체역학적 부피에 따라 상이한 이온의 선택성이 달라지기 때문에 공정을 효율적으로 만든다. 본 총설에서는 리튬이온의 회수를 향상시키기 위한 ED와 IEM의 서로 다른 변화 전략이 논의된다.

Recently, with the trend of information technology convergence and electrification, batteries are being widely used in fields such as industry, transportation, and specific applications. By 2030, the secondary battery market is expected to grow explosively by more than eight times compared with 2020 to $351.7 billion owing to the expanding adoption of electric vehicles. Depending on the electrochemical reactions in the electrode, a primary battery can only discharge through an irreversible reaction, while a secondary battery can be repeatedly charged and discharged using reversible reactions. According to the type of charge carrier ions, secondary batteries may be classified into those made of lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and aluminum ions. We analyze the current status and technological issues of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and solid-state batteries, which are representative examples of lithium secondary batteries. In addition, research trends in lithium secondary batteries are discussed.

본 연구는 밀도 범함수 이론을 이용하여 Li이온전지에 사용되는 Li코발트 산화물에서의 Li이온 삽입 전압과 전도에 관한 것이다. Li이온은 Li코발트 산화물 원자구조의 각 층을 1개씩 채우거나 한 층을 다 채우고 다음 층을 채울 수 있다. 평균 삽입 전압은 3.48V로 동일하나, 전자가 후자보다 더 유리하였다. 격자상수 c는 Li농도가 0.25보다 작을 때는 증가하였으나, 0.25보다 클 때는 감소하였다. Li농도가 증가하면, Li코발트 산화물에서의 Li이온 전도를 위한 에너지 장벽은 증가하였다. Li이온전지가 방전 중 출력 전압이 낮아지는 현상은 Li농도 증가에 따른 삽입 전압의 감소와 전도 에너지 장벽의 증가로 설명할 수 있었다.

기존의 EDLC용 활성탄소 대신 리튬이차전지용 탄소류 음전극(천연흑연, 인조흑연, 하드카본, MCMB)을 이용해 리튬이온 커패시터를 구성하면 리튬의 층간 삽입반응으로 인해 기존의 물질보다 에너지 밀도가 큰 전극소재를 개발할 수 있을 것이다. 이 실험에서는 기존 리튬이차전지 음극용 탄소 물질을 대칭 전극으로 사용하여 코인형 커패시터를 제조하여 성능을 측정하였다. 또한 리튬을 미리 삽입시킨 탄소류 전극을 이용한 커패시터를 제조한 후 성능을 측정한 결과, 축전현상이 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉 전해액에서 전하분리에 의한 리튬이온의 이동을 보충할 수 있다면 기존의 리튬이온은 탄소류 전극의 층간으로 확산되어 들어가 기존의 대칭성 탄소류 전극의 경우에 비해 축전 용량이 증가한다. 또한 표면적이 매우 큰 graphene oxide를 사용하여 위와 같이 실험한 결과 용량이 크게 나왔으며 이로부터 슈퍼커패시터 전극용 물질에는 높은 비표면적이 중요한 요소로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
