$LiNiO_2$ cathode powders with fine size have been synthesized by spray pyrolysis from the spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol. The as-prepared powders with spherical shape, porous structure and micron size turned into $LiNiO_2$ powders with micron size and regular morphology after post-treatment at $800^{\circ}C$. The initial discharge capacities of the $LiNiO_2$ powders changed from 199 to 171mAh/g when the concentrations of the citric acid and ethylene glycol added to the spray solutions were changed from 0 to 1 M. The maximum initial discharge capacity of the $LiNiO_2$ powders obtained from the spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol was 198 mAh/g when the lithium component added to the spray solution was 6 mol% excess of the stoichiometric amount. The discharge capacities of the fine-sized $LiNiO_2$ powders dropped from 198 to 163 mAh/g by the 30 th cycle at a current density of 0.1 C.

Due to the nature of electric vehicles, the batteries used for electric vehicles have a very large rated capacity. If an electric vehicle runs for a long time or an electric vehicle is abandoned due to a traffic accident, the electric vehicle battery becomes a waste battery. Even in vehicles that are being abandoned, the remaining capacity of waste batteries for electric vehicles is sufficient for other purposes. Waste batteries for automobiles are very expensive, so they need to be recycled and reused, but there was a problem that the standards for measuring the performance grade of waste batteries for recycling and reuse were insufficient. As a method for measuring the remaining capacity of waste battery, the most stable and reliable method is to measure the remaining capacity of battery using full charge and discharge. However, the inspection method by the full charging and discharging method varies depending on the capacity of the battery, but it takes more than a day to inspect, and many people are making great efforts to solve this problem. In this paper, an electric vehicle battery residual capacity analysis technique using voltage deviation between cells was studied and analyzed as a method to reduce inspection time for electric vehicle batteries. To this end, a full charging and discharging-based capacity measurement system was constructed, experimental data were collected using a nose or waste battery, and the correlation between the voltage deviation and the remaining capacity of the battery pack was analyzed to verify whether it can be used for battery inspection.

Mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers(MPCF) have been investigated as an anode active material for lithium ion secondary battery. Graphitized MPCF gives high discharge capacity and good Ah efficiency. MPCF/Li cell shows an initial discharge capacity of 300 mAh/g and Ah efficiency above $90\%$ at a current density of 25 mA/g at $0\~1$ V. Cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery was fabricated using mixed carbon anode and $LiCoO_2$, cathode. In order to improve the cyclability of lithiun ion secondary battery, other carbons were added to the MPCF up to $10wt\%$. The cycle performance of lithium ion secondary battery using mixed carbons was superior to those using graphitized MPCF.

The specific capacitance characteristics of the electric double layer capacitors(ELDC) which were made of phenol based activated carbon fiber(ACF) electrodes. Also the effect of aqueous electrolytes on the cell performance has been investigated with respect to different specific surface areas of electrodes and different kinds of aqueous electrolytes. It has been shown that larger surface area and pore size, higher conductivity of electrodes, and higher ion mobility of electrolytes have better specific capacitances. It has been found that heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ and $CO_2$ post-activation at $900^{\circ}C$ of the electrode are effective to improve the specific capacitance over 145F/g and 165F/g, respectively. The EDLC showed high efficiency and long cycle life over 30000 cycles.

In order to improve the capacity and cycling stability of Ni-rich NCA cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, the boron and cobalt were doped in commercial $Li_{1.06}Ni_{0.91}Co_{0.08}Al_{0.01}O_2$ (NCA) powders. Commercial NCA particles are mixed composites such as secondary particles of about $5{\mu}m$ and $12{\mu}m$, and the particle size was decreased by doping boron and cobalt. The initial discharge capacities of the boron and cobalt doped NCA-B and NCA-Co were found to be 214 mAh/g and 200 mAh/g, respectively, which are higher values than that of the raw NCA cathode material. In particular, NCA-Co exhibits the best discharge capacity of 157 mAh/g after 20 cycles, which is probably due to the enhanced diffusion of lithium ion by crystal growth along with the c-axis direction.

Recently Zr-based $AB_2$ type hydrogen absorbing alloy has received much attention as a negative electrode material for the Ni-MH batteries because of its high capacity. In this study $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ alloy was chosen and the effects of heat treatment and a partial substitution of the Mo in Mn site on the various electrode properties were investigated. The alloys was prepared by arc melting (as-cast sample). Some of them were heat treated at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. After this they were differentiated by the different cooling rates of slow cooling and quenching. Various electrode characteristics such as activation process, high rate dischargeability and self discharge characteristic were investigated with the three types of electrodes. It was found that heat treated alloys resulted in an increase in plateau flatness of P-C isotherms however both discharge capacity and high rate capability were decreased. And the partial substitution of Mo for Mn in $ZrV_{0.1}Mn_{0.7}Ni_{1.2}$ alloy improved the self-discharge characteristic without the loss of discharge capacity (300mAh/g).

Al doped $LiMn_2O_4$ cathode powders with fine size were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method from the spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol. The as-prepared powders with spherical shape, porous structure and micron size turned into $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders with micron size and regular morphology after post-treatment above $800^{\circ}C$. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had low initial discharge capacity of 94 mAh/g at a post-treatment temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. As the post-temperature increased from $750^{\circ}C$ to $1,000^{\circ}C$, the initial discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders changed from 103 to 117 mAh/g. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had the maximum discharge capacity at a post-treatment temperature of $750^{\circ}C$. However, the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders post-treated at a temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ had the good cycle properties. The discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders dropped from 107 to 100 mAh/g (93% capacity retention) by the 70th cycle at a current density of 0.1 C.

In order to investigate the origin of capacity fading with charge/discharge cycling in $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film battery, impedance studies have been performed with increasing cycling in $LiMn_2O_4/1M\;LiClO_4-PC/Li$ cells. The fitted values obtained from impedance data show good agreements with the experimental results. Especially, the element of charge transfer resistance of $LiMn_2O_4/liquid$ electrolyte interface initially increased, and then saturated with increasing the charge/discharge cycles, which could explain the cause of initial abrupt capacity fading of $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with cycling due to interfacial reaction. The steady capacity fading is caused by the increasing of Warburg resistance. The chemical diffusion coefficient of Li ions decreased from $5.15\times10^{-11}cm^2/sec$ at 1st cycles to $6.3\times10^{-12}cm^2/sec$ at 800th cycles, which attributed to the Jahn-Teller distortion/Mn dissolution which diminishes tetra hedral sites necessary for Li diffusion in $LiMn_2O_4$.
