The manufacturing method for a cathode catalyst for a lithium-air secondary battery of the present invention comprises a first step of forming an aqueous solution by dissolving manganese ion precursors in distilled water; a second step of manufacturing a mixture by stirring the aqueous solution formed in the first step with a compound selected from the group consisting of potassium permanganate (KMnO_4), sodium permanganate (NaMnO_4), ammonium permanganate (NH_4MnO_4) and calcium permanganate (Ca(MnO_4)_2); a third step of synthesizing alpha phase manganese oxide nanowires (α-MnO_2 nanowires) by hydrothermally synthesizing the mixture manufactured in the second step; and a fourth step of pulverizing the alpha phase manganese oxide nanowires (α-MnO_2 nanowires) by drying the same. The cathode catalyst for a lithium-air secondary battery manufactured according to the manufacturing method of the present invention is able to lower charge and discharge overvoltage by accelerating oxygen reaction in a positive electrode of a lithium-air secondary battery and is able to improve energy efficiency.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a spinel lithium titanium oxide nanofiber negative electrode for a negative electrode active material of a lithium secondary battery. The method includes a step of manufacturing a mixed solution by mixing an organic material, which is selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone, polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylene, polyethylene oxide, and polyvinyl alcohol, a lithium precursor, and a titanium precursor with a solvent; a step of manufacturing composite nanofiber by electrospinning the mixed solution; and a step of removing the organic material by heat-treating the composite nanofiber. By the spinel lithium titanium oxide nanofiber manufactured by the method in the present invention, the contact area between an electrolyte solution and a conductor is increased, the diffusion distance of lithium ions is reduced, and electric conductivity and ion conductivity are remarkably improved by wide surface area per unit volume of the spinel lithium titanium oxide nanofiber.
