  • Patent number: 11177502
    Abstract: The method for manufacturing a solid electrolyte using an LLZ material for a lithium-ion battery comprises the steps of: providing a starting material in which lanthanum nitrate [La(NO3)3.6H2O] and zirconium nitrate [ZrO(NO3)2.6H2O] are mixed at a mole ratio of 3:2; forming an aqueous solution by dissolving the starting material; forming a precipitate by putting ammonia, which is a complex agent, and sodium hydroxide, which adjusts the pH of a reactor, into the aqueous solution, mixing the same, and then co-precipitating the mixture; forming a primary precursor powder by cleaning, drying and pulverizing the precipitate; forming a secondary precursor powder by mixing lithium powder [LiOH.H2O] with the primary precursor powder and ball-milling the mixture so as to solidify the lithium; and forming a solid electrolyte powder by heat-treating the secondary precursor powder.

  • Patent number: 10020488
    Abstract: This disclosure synthesizes an anodic composite material Li(LixNiyCozMnwO2+?) of Li2MnO3 series whose theoretical capacity is a level of about 460 mAh/g, and to produce an electrode of a high capacity using the synthesized anodic composite material. Also provided is a method for charging and discharging the electrode. Here, the method for producing an anodic composite material for a lithium secondary battery includes the steps of: mixing a nickel nitrate solution, a manganese nitrate solution, and a cobalt nitrate solution to produce a starting material solution; and mixing the starting material solution with a complexing agent so as to produce an anodic composite material Li(LixNiyCozMnwO2+?) of Li2MnO3 series by means of coprecipitation.

  • Patent number: 9478993
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of a high capacity electrode by synthesizing an excellent Li2MnO3-based composite material Li(LixNiyCozMnwO2) to improve the characteristics of an inactive Li2MnO3 material with a specific capacity of about 460 mAh/g. Here, a manufacturing method of a cathode material for a lithium secondary battery uses a Li2MnO3-based composite material Li(LixNiyCozMnwO2) by reacting a starting material wherein a nickel nitrate solution, a manganese nitrate solution and a cobalt nitrate solution are mixed, with a complex agent by co-precipitation.
