Various modifications of manganese dioxide have been discussed in terms of the chemical analysis by differential heating curve. The transformation temperatures of the modifications were observed as follows; ${\alpha}-\;and\;{\beta}-MnO_2$ are both $580^{\circ}C∼650^{\circ}C$, ${\gamma}-MnO_2$is is $405^{\circ}C~605^{\circ}C$ and ${\delta}-MnO_2$is $860^{\circ}C~875^{\circ}C$, respectively. Endothermic peaks appeared at the transformation temperatures mentioned above. The restoration temperatures of transformation is completed depending on the amounts of the given samples, but the temperatures of the top of endothermic peaks are nearly constant. The curves of ${\alpha}-,{\beta}-MnO_2$and ${\delta}-MnO_2$ show small peaks while that of ${\gamma}-MnO_2$ shows a sharp and broad peak.

Dimensionally stable anode(DSA) can be used for the hydro-metallurgy of non-ferrous metals like as Zn, and the electrolysis of sea water. MnO$_2$ electrode satisfies the requirements of DSA, and has a good cycle life and a low overpotential for oxygen evolution. MnO$_2$ electrodes based on Ti matrix were prepared by using thermal decomposition method and also MnO$_2$ was coated on Ti and Pb matrix with DMF and PVDF compositions. The MnO$_2$ electrodes prepared by thermal decomposition method had very weak adhesive strength onto Ti matrix and MnO$_2$ layer was removed out so that electrochemical properties for MnO$_2$ were not investigated. The viscosity of solvent used as a binder of MnO$_2$ Powder increased with the increasing PVDF contents. The thickness of the MnO$_2$ layer on Pb matrix in DSA, which was prepared with 5 times dipping at the solution mixed with PVDF : DMF = 1 : 9, was 150${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. When the ratio of PVDF to MnO$_2$ was lower than 1 : 6, the Pb electrode didn't show any reaction irrespective of the concentrations of DMF. However, When the ratio of PVDF to MnO$_2$ was higher than 1: 6, the Pb electrode showed constant current reactions and homogeneous cyclic voltammetry even though at a high cycle. The reason for the high current and homogeneous cyclic voltammetry is the good catalytic reactions of MnO$_2$ powder in electrode.

Orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$(o-$LiMnO_2$) has attracted public attentions as a cathode materials of Lithium ion battery because it has low cost and high theoretical discharge capacity of 285mAh $g^{-1}$. In our study, o-$LiMnO_2$ is synthesized by quenching method. To verify their phase structure, X-ray diffraction is accomplished. Test cells are assembled to check electrochemical characteristics using acquired o-$LiMnO_2$ cathode and carbon anode. Charge/Discharge cycling was carried out for 50cycles. And impedance was measured at 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 50cycle. During cycle test, the max discharge capacity was recorded 139mAh $g^{-1}$ at 10cycle.

Hollow carbon spheres (HCS) and carbon spheres (CS) were prepared by a hydrothermal reaction and they were introduced as a substrate for the deposition of $MnO_2$ nanoparticles. The $MnO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited on the carbon surface by a chemical redox deposition method. After deposition, the $MnO_2$ nanoparticles were uniformally distributed on the carbon surface in a slit-shape, and sparse $MnO_2$ slits appeared on the HCS surface. The $MnO_2-HCS$ showed an initial specific capacitance of $164.1F\;g^{-1}$ at scan rate of $20mv\;s^{-1}$, and after 1,000 cycles, the specific capacitance was maintained to $141.3F\;g^{-1}$. The capacity retention of $MnO_2-HCS$ and $MnO_2-CS$ were calculated to 86% and 78% in the cycle performance test up to 1,000 cycles, respectively. $MnO_2-HCS$ showed a good cycle stability due to the mesoporous hollow structure which can cause a faster diffusion of the electrolyte and can easily adsorb and desorb $Na^+$ ions on the surface of the electrode.

The layered lithium-manganese oxide ($Li_2MnO_3$) as a cathode material of lithium ion secondary batteries was prepared and characterized the physico-chemical and electrochemical properties. The morphological and structural changes of MnO(OH) and $Li_2MnO_3$ are closely connected to the changes of electrochemical properties. The crystallinity of $Li_2MnO_3$ is enhanced as the annealing temperature increase, but its capacity is reduced due to the easier structural changes of less crystalline $Li_2MnO_3$ than highly crystalline one. Moreover, the addition of buffer material such as MnO(OH) into cathode causes to reduce the morphological and structural changes of layered $Li_2MnO_3$ and increase the discharge capacity and cycleability.

In this study, the porous CuO/MnO₂ catalyst was prepared through the co-precipitation process from an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), manganese(II) acetate (Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O) and copper(II) acetate (Cu(CH₃COO)₂·H₂O). The phase change in MnO₂ was analyzed according to the reaction molar ratio of KMnO₄ to Mn(CH₃COO)₂. The reaction mole ratio of KMnO₄ to Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O was varied at 0.3:1, 0.6:1, and 1:1. The aqueous solution of Cu(CH₃COO)₂ was injected into a mixed solution of KMnO₄ and Mn(CH₃COO)₂ to 10~75 wt% relative to MnO₂. The Cu ion co-precipitates as CuO with MnO₂ in a highly dispersed state on MnO₂. The physicochemical property of the prepared CuO/MnO₂ was analyzed by using the TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, and BET. The different phase types of MnO₂ were prepared according to the reaction mole ratio of KMnO₄ to Mn(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O. The results confirmed that the porous CuO/MnO₂ catalyst with γ-phase MnO₂ was produced in the reaction mole ratio of KMnO₄ to Mn(CH₃COO)₂ as 0.6:1 at room temperature.

Effects of MnO2 addition ranged from 0.0wt% to 5.0wt% on the microstructure and dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 Ceramics have been investigated. The solubility limit of MnO2 in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 is about 0.5wt%, and MnO2 as a valence state of Mn3+ is substituted for (Zr, Ti) lattice site in PZT solid-solution. The addition of MnO2 up to 0.5wt% in Pb(Zr0.52 Ti0.48)O3 brings increase of density, but decreased of grain size and tetragonality. Dielectric constant slightly decreases, but both coupling factor(Kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) increase with the addition of MnO2. However, excess amount of MnO2 addition more than 0.75wt% results in rapid decrease of resistance. Dielectric constant and tan $\delta$ increase due to the second phase and inhomogeneous Mn distribution.

Crystallized $LiMn_{2-y}Mg_{y}O_4$ powder was prepared by calcing the mixture of LiOH.$H_2O$, $MnO_2$ and MgO at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h in an air atmosphere. The structure of $LiMn_{2-y}Mg_{y}O_4$ crystallites was analyzed from powder X-ray diffraction data as a cubic spinel, space group Fd3m. Though all cathode material showed spinel phase based on cubic phase in X-ray diffraction, other peaks gradually exhibited and became intense with increasing y value in $LiMn_{2-y}Mg_{y}O_4$. However, ununiform which calculated by (111) face and (222) face was constant in spite of the increase of y value, except pure $LiMn_2O_4$. AC impedance of Li/$LiMn_{2-y}Mg_{y}O_4$ cells revealed the similar resistance of about $70\Omega$ before cycling. In addition, The impedance of Li/$LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.1}O_4$ cell changed during charge and discharge or after cycling.

$Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$:Mn green phosphors doped with Mg for PDP were synthesized by solid state reaction method. $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$:Mn, Mg phosphors with increasing Mg concentration were changed from Rhombohedral to Orthorhombic structure. Photoluminescence intensity of $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$:Mn phosphors doped with Mg 0.5 mol was definitely higher than that of Mg non-doped sample. The enhanced luminescence with doping Mg in the $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$:Mn phosphors was interpreted by the increase of energy transfer from host to Mn ions with substitution Mg for Zn in the $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}$:Mn host.
