We have investigated the $LiMn_2O_4$system as an cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries. $LiMn_2O_4$spinel oxides have been synthesized by a solid state methode. We varied sintering time at a fixed sintering temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$. In order to investigate the electrochemical properties of prepared $LiMn_2O_4$we assembled three-electrode cells using the working electrode as active material and Li metal as the counter and reference electrodes. The electrolyte was 1 M LiPE$_{6}$-EC:DEC(1:1 by volume). The particle size of sample synthesized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ ranged about 60$\mu m$. The discharge capacity of a cell involving spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ increased with increasing sintering time.e.

The cathode materials for lithium ion battery have been developed in accordance with the battery performance. $LiCoO_2$ initially adapted at lithium ion battery is going to be useful even at the charging voltage of 4.3 V by surface treatment or doping which drastically improved the performance of $LiCoO_2$. On the other hand, the complicate and multiple functions of recent electronic equipments required higher operational voltage and higher capacity than ever, which is going to be driving force for developing new cathode materials. Some of them are $LiNi_{1-x}{M_xO_2}$, $Li[Ni_{x}Mn_{y}Co_{z}]O_{2}$, $Li[{Ni}_{1/2}{Mn}_{1/2}]O_{2}$. Other new type of cathode materials having high safety is also developed to apply for HEV (hybrid electrical vehicle) and power tool applications. ${LiMn}_{2}{O}_{4}$ and $LiFePO_4$ are famous for highly stable material, which are expected to give contribution to make safer battery. In near future, the various materials having both capacity and safety will be developed by new technology, such as solid solution composite.

It was studied that the effect of the mixing materials and the mole ratios on electrochemical properties of LiMn$_2$O$_4$LiMn$_2$O$_4$is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH.$H_2O$ and MnO$_2$(EMD or CMD) and heating at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h. We obtained properties of crystal structure through X-ray diffraction. LiMn$_2$O was reversible at 4.5V~3.0V and displayed two reduction and oxidation. Optimum synthesis results were obtained by reacting with LiOH.$H_2O$ and MnO$_2$(EMD) at mole ratio 1:2.

Electrical characteristics of LiF-$Li_{2}O-B_{2}O_{3}-P_{2}O_5$ glasses with fixed $Li_2O$ content have been investigated by using AC impedance spectroscopy. Part of the total lithium ions present in these glasses contributes to conduction, and the changes in electrical conductivity with composition was inconsistent with the weak electrolyte model. The power law could not be used to determine the hopping ion concentration in these glasses. Both mobile carrier density and mobility have been modified as Li were added in the form of LiF. The formation of $(B-O-P)^-,di^-$, and metaborate group gave additional available sites for Li+ diffusion causing the enhancement of conductivity. The observed maximum conductivity was $2.43 \times 10^{-4}$S/cm at $150^{\circ}C$ at the composition containing 8mol% LiF. The decomposion potential amounted to 5.94V. The Li/glass electrolyte/$TiS_2$ solid-state cell showed open circuit voltage of 3.14V and energy density of 22 Wh/Kg at $150^{\circ}C$.

At first the $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}TiO_3$-MgO powder with $B_2O_3-Li_2CO_3$ were made by the Sol-Gel method. The thick films of BST-MgO with $B_2O_3-Li_2CO_3$ were fabricated on the $Al_2O_3$ substrates coated with Pt by the screen printing method. The structural and dielectric properties of the BST-MgO thick film with $B_2O_3-Li_2CO_3$, addition were investigated. The structure of the BST-MgO with $B_2O_3-Li_2CO_3$ thick films were dense and homogeneous with no pores. The dielectric constant was increased and dielectric loss was decreased with increasing the sintering temperature.

A solid-state electrochemicall cell for sensing CO2 gas was fabricated using a solid electrolyte of Li2CO3-Li3PO4-Al2O3 mixture and a reference electrode of LiMn2O4. The e.m.f. (electromotive force) of sensor showed a good accordance with theoretical Nernst slope (n=2) for CO2 gas concentration range of 100-10000 ppm above 35$0^{\circ}C$. The e.m.f. of sensor was constant regardless of oxygen partial pressure at the high temperature above 0.1 atm. It was, however, a little depended on oxygen partial pressure as the pressure decreased below 0.1 atm. The oxygen-dependency of our sensor gradually disappeared as the operating temperature increased. The sensing behavior of our CO2 sensor was affected by the presence of water vapor, but its effect was small comparing with other sensors.

$UO_2$ 및 $UO_2$-3.23wt%CeO$_2$가 128$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결되면 밀도는 각각 93%T.D., 91.2%T.D.이었으나, Li$_2$O가 0.lwt%씩 첨가된 경우에는 소결밀도가 95.5%T.D., 95.1%T.D.로 증가하였다. 소결온도가 증가함에 따라서 $UO_2$ 및 $UO_2$-3.23wt%CeO$_2$의 소결밀도는 현저하게 증가되는 반면에, Li$_2$O가 첨가된 경우에는 저온에서도 이미 치밀화가 많이 일어났기 때문에 소결밀도의 증가폭이 완만하였다. Li$_2$O가 첨가된 분말에서는 소결온도가 더 높아지면, 결정립성장이 주로 일어나게 되어 168$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결되었을 때, $UO_2$와 $UO_2$-0.1wt%Li$_2$O의 결정립크기가 각각 8.7$\mu\textrm{m}$, 120$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이고, $UO_2$-3.23wt%CeO$_2$와 $UO_2$-3.23wt%CeO$_2$-0.lwt%Li$_2$O는 각각 10.9$\mu\textrm{m}$, 34$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이었다. $UO_2$와 $UO_2$-3.23wt%CeO$_2$ 그리고, 두 조성에 Li$_2$O가 각각 첨가된 경우, Ar-4vol.%H$_2$ 분위기보다 H$_2$분위기에서 소결했을 때 밀도가 더 높았다. 그러나, 결정립은 $UO_2$와 $UO_2$-Li$_2$O의 경우, 수소분위기에서 소결했을 때, (U,Ce)O$_2$와 (U,Ce)O$_2$-Li$_2$O에서는 Ar-4vol.%H$_2$분위기에서 소결했을 때 더욱 성장하였다.

[ $LiCoO_{2}$ ] is the most common cathode electrode materials in Lithium-ion batteries. $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. We investigated crystal structures, electrical conductivities and electrochemical properties. The crystal structure of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The material showed a single phase of a layered structure with the space group R-3m. The lattice parameter(a, c) of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ was larger than that of $LiCoO_2$. The electrical conductivity of sintered samples was measured by the Van der Pauw method. The electrical conductivities of $LiCoO_2$ and $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ were $2.11{\times}10^{-4}\;S/cm$ and $2.41{\times}10^{-1}\;S/cm$ at room temperature, respectively. On the basis of the Hall effect analysis, the increase in electrical conductivities of $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ is believed due to the increased carrier concentrations, while the carrier mobility was almost invariant. The electrochemical performance was investigated by coin cell test. $LiCo_{0.97}Mg_{0.03}O_2$ showed improved cycling performance as compared with $LiCoO_2$.

In order to increase the capacity of the lithium ion battery, the capacity of the anode should be increased. SnO₂ and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ were studied to replace the graphite as the anode materials. In this study, SnO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite materials were synthesized by solid-state method. The study reported here attempts to enhance the electrochemical capacity of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ through the incorporation of SnO₂. Sn-based Li ion storage materials are loaded on Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ surface. The SnO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite material has higher capacity than Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, but the cycling capacity was decreased due to SnO₂.
