The electrochemical reaction behavior of nickel electrode of the nickel-cadium battery system in potassium hydroxide solution has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and X-ray diffraction method. It has been found that the reaction mechanism of positive nickel electrode for charging was assumed to be proten transfer step with a rate controlling diffusion process and char-ging state of positive electrode was amorphous $\beta$-NiOOH.

The improved method comprises electrochemically deposition of nickel hydroxide into the sintered nickel plaque cathode from nickel aqueous electrolyte at acid pH in a treating zone containing an anode. The electrochemical impregnation was examined under various conditions. Deposition condition of fine active material was obtained from the impregnation of a high temperature and also high current density. This method also could be decreased swelling and buckling of the plaque. A nickel electrode prepared by electrochemical impregnation is useful as the positive in nickel-cadmium cells. The utilization of the active material indicated almost 100% based on a one electron charge.

This work presents the way how to evaluate the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the nickel hydroxide film cathodically deposited on pure nickel as a positive electrode for electrochemical capacitor using the combined cyclic voltammetry and potential drop method, supplemented by galvanostatic discharge and open-circuit potential transient methods. The time interval necessary just to establish the current reversal of anodic to cathodic direction from the moment just after applying the potential inversion of anodic to cathodic direction, was obtained on cyclic voltammogram. The cathodic charge density passed upon dropping the applied potential, was calculated on potentiostatic current density-time curve. Both the time interval and the cathodic charge density in magnitude can be regarded as being measures of the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the positive active material for supercapacitor, i.e. , the longer the time interval is, the lower is the degree of reversibility and the greater the cathodic charge density is, the higher is the degree of reversibility. From the applied potential dependences of the time interval and cathodic charge density, discharge at $0.42 V_{SCE}$ was determined to be the most reversible.

To increase the capacity of positive electrode materials for matching the high capacity negative electrode materials in alkaline rechargeable batteries, high-density nickel hydroxide powders were made through a continuous process from nickel sulfate reacted with ammonia and sodium hydroxidc. The effect of operating conditions on structure, shape, size distribution, apparent density and tap density of powders were investigated. Crystal structure of nickel hydroxide powder was hcp according to Bravais Lattice. The increase of mean residence time promoted the growth of (101) plane. The shape of powder was nearly spherical. Their size was in the range of $2~50\mu\textrm{m}$. The size distribution of the powders prepared was narrower than that of commercially obtained nickel hydroxide. Apparent density and tap density were 1.6~1.7g/cc and 2.0~2.1g/cc, respectively.

Three-dimensional (3D) mixed phases NiSe nanoparticles growing on the nickel foam were synthesized via a simple one-step hydrothermal method. A series of experiments were carried out to control the morphology by adjusting the amount of selenium in the synthetic reaction. Meanwhile, the as-prepared novel column-acicular structure NiSe exist three advantages including ideal electrical conductivity, high specific capacity and high cycling stability. It delivered a high capacitance of $10.8F\;cm^{-2}$ at a current density- of $5mA\;cm^{-2}$. An electrochemical capacitor device operating at 1.6 V was then constructed using NiSe/NF and activated carbon (AC) as positive and negative electrodes. Moreover, the device showed high energy density of $31W\;h\;kg^{-1}$ at a power density of $0.81kW\;kg^{-1}$, as well as good cycling stability (77% retention after 1500 cycles).

In order to understand the nature of dendritic zinc growth, electrochemical zinc redox reaction on nickel plate was investigated in aqueous solutions containing different concentrations, 0.2, 0.1 and 0.02 $mol{\cdot}dm^{-3}$ (M), of zinc sulfate ($ZnSO_4$) or zinc chloride ($ZnCl_2$). Zinc ion was efficiently reduced and oxidized on nickel in the high-concentration (0.2 M) solution, whereas relatively poor efficiency was obtained from the other low-concentration solutions (0,1 and 0.02 M). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis revealed that the 0.2 M electrolyte solution decomposes at more positive potentials than the 0.1 and the 0.02 M solutions. These results suggested that the concentration of electrolyte solution and anion would be an important factor that suppresses the reaction of the zinc dendrite formation. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) data revealed that the shape of dendritic zinc and its growing behavior were also influenced by electrolyte concentration.

본 연구는 폐 리튬이온전지의 양극활물질인 LNO($Li_2NiO_2$) 공정부산물로부터 $CO_2$ 열반응 공정을 통하여 Li 분말을 회수하였다. Li 분말을 회수하는 공정은 $CO_2$ 주입량이 300 cc/min인 분위기에서 $600^{\circ}C$, 1 min 유지하여 $Li_2NiO_2$ 상을 $Li_2CO_3$상과 NiO상으로 상분리 시켰다. 이 후 회수한 시료:증류수 = 1:50 무게비로 수 침출 후 감압 여과를 통해 용액에서 $Li_2CO_3$, 여과지에서 NiO 분말을 회수하였다. Ni 순도를 높이기 위해 $H_2$ 분위기에서 3시간 유지하여 NiO에서 Ni로 환원하였다. 위와 같은 공정을 통해 회수한 탄산리튬 용액의 Li의 농도 2290 ppm, Li의 회수율은 92.74%를 달성하였고 Ni은 최종적으로 순도는 90.1%, 회수율 92.6%의 분말을 제조하였다.

기존 LiCoO₂의 고전압 사용의 제약에 따른 용량적 한계와 코발트 원료의 높은 가격을 해결하기 위하여 high-Nickel에 대한 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있지만 Ni 함량의 증가에 따른 구조적 안정성의 저하에 의한 전지 특성의 저하는 상용화를 지연시키는 중요한 원인이 되고 있다. 이에 Ni-rich 삼성분계 양극소재 LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂의 고안정성을 높이고자 전구체에 균일한 이종원소 Ti를 치환을 위해서 나노크기의 TiO₂ 서스펜젼 형태 소스를 사용하여 전구체 Ni_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2-x(OH)₂/xTiO₂를 제조하였다. Li₂CO₃와 혼합하고, 열처리 후 양극활물질 LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2-xTi_xO₂ 합성하여 Ti 함량에 따른 물리적 특성을 비교하였다. Field Emission Scanning electron Microscope(FE-SEM) 및 Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) mapping 분석을 통해 Ti 치환된 구형의 전구체와 입자 크기 측정을 통해 균일한 입자크기를 가지는 양극 활물질 제조를 확인하였고, 내부치밀도와 강도가 증가함을 확인 하고, X-ray Diffractometry (XRD) 구조 분석과 Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) 정량분석을 통해 Ti 치환된 양극활물질 제조 및 고온, 고전압에서 충·방전을 지속하더라도 효과적으로 용량이 유지됨을 확인하였다.

현재 리튬이온 배터리에 사용되는 고니켈계 양극재의 수요 증대에 따라 수산화리튬(LiOH) 제조 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 탄산리튬(Li2CO3)으로부터 수산화리튬의 제조를 위하여, 탄산리튬의 열분해를 통한 산화리튬(Li2O)의 전환 공정에 대해 연구하였다. 열처리 시 탄산리튬과 알루미나, 석영 그리고 흑연 도가니 사용에 따른 반응 메커니즘을 확인하였으며, 흑연 도가니를 사용했을 경우 온전한 산화리튬 분말을 얻었다. TG 분석 결과를 바탕으로 열처리 온도를 700℃, 900℃ 그리고 1100℃로 설정하였으며 유지시간 및 분위기를 제어하여 시약급 탄산리튬의 열처리를 진행하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 제조된 산화리튬은 질소 분위기에서 1시간 동안 1100℃의 온도로 열처리를 하였을 때 높은 결정성을 보였다. 또한 수산화리튬으로 전환하기 위해 시약급 산화리튬을 100℃에서 수반응하였다. XRD 분석을 통해 수산화리튬(LiOH)과 수산화리튬 일수화물(LiOH·H2O)이 생성됨을 확인하였다.
