Spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ is more economic and environmental friendly to be used as commercial active material for secondary battery compared to Co-oxide material active material, but spinel structure of $LiMn_2O_4$ is unstable and its capacitance decreases with increase of cycle. Therefore, the purpose of our sturdy is to improve the stability of $LiMn_2O_4$ spinel structure and increase its capacitance by using substituents or dopants. $LiMn_2O_4$ powder was synthesized by charging substituents or dopants mole fractions, and temperatures. Crystal state, structure and specific surface area of the synthesized powder were measured and also characteried electrochemically by measuring its impedance, charge-discharge capacitance and etc.

The pseudo-spinel type solid solution, $LiAl_{2.5}/Fe_{2.5}O_8$ was prepared by reaction of $LiCO_3, Al_2O_3, Fe_2O_3$ mixture at 1620K, which can be used for cathode material in lithium batteries. Its structure was investigated by Rietveld profile-analysis of XRD in detail. The space group of solid solution is $P4_3$32(a=8.1293$\AA$) and the final residual index of structure refinement was about 5%. Cations $Al^{3+}, Fe^{3+}$ are located at both tetra- and octahedral-coordination and $Li^+$ ions are occupied in the octahedral 4b-, 12d-site of the inverse spinel.

In the past ten years, $LiMn_2O_4$-based spinels have been extensively studied as positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. To improve the cycle performance of spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ as the cathode of 4V class lithium secondary batteries, spinel phases $LiMn_2O_4$ were prepared at various temperatures ranging form 600-900$^{\cire}C$ in air. The results showed that charge.dischare capacity of $LiMn_2O_4$ varied at 1st temperature from $200^{\circ}C to 600^{\circ}C$ increase with increasing temperature. $LiMn_2O_4$ synthesized at 2nd temperature $750^{\circ}C$excellent charge.discharge capacity, efficiency and cyclability compared to the samplesynthesized different temperatures. The value of lst charge.discharge capacity was 121mAh/g, 118mAh/g, Also, the efficiency value was about 97%.

Recently, the current thermal battery technology needs new materials for electrodes in the power and energy density to meet various space and defense requirements. In this paper, to replace the pellet type Li(Si) anode having limitations of the formability and capacity, electrochemical properties of the lithium anode with high density for thermal batteries were investigated. The lithium anode (Li 17, 15, 13 wt%) was fabricated by mixing the molten lithium and iron powder used as a binder to hold the molten lithium at $500^{\circ}C$. The single cell with 13 wt% lithium showed a stable performance. The 2.06 V (OCV) of the lithium anode was significantly improved compared to 1.93 V (OCV) of the Li(Si) anode. Specific capacities during the first phase of the lithium anode and Li(Si) were 1,632 and $1,181As{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. As a result of the thermal battery performance test at both room and high temperatures, the voltage and operating time of lithium anode thermal batteries were superior to those of using Li(Si) anode thermal batteries. The power and energy densities of Li anode thermal batteries were also remarkably improved.

The electrical properties such as dielectric constants and dielectric losses in the spinel samples of $LiGaTiO_4$, Li(Ga,Eu)$TiO_4$, $Li(Ga.Yb)TiO_4$ have been characterized by varying measuring temperature and frequency. The long range order structures are analyzed by rietveld refinement method. and local atomic disorder structures are analyzed by MEM (maximum entropy method). The relation between the crystal structure and dielectric properties are discussed. $LiGaTiO_4$ spinel has the IMMA with lattice constant, a = 5.86333, b=17.5872. c = 8.28375 ${\AA}$, Li-sites are partially substituted by Ga or Ti. Two crystallographic oxygen sites are partially occupied(40~50%). The dielectric constants of $LiGaTiO_4$, $LiYbTiO_4$, and $LiGa_{2/6}Eu_{1/6}Ti_{1.5}O_4$ ceramics were 127, 75 and 272, respectively at 100 kHz. The dielectric relaxation were observed in the $LiGaTiO_3$ ceramics and the temperature where dielectric loss shows maximum was $390^{\circ}C$ at 1 kHz and increased with increasing the measuring frequency.

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.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of tonifying or sedative manipulation on LI4 and KI7 for sweet deficiency under cold environment. Methods : The participants were divided into 4 groups; intact group without acupuncture(Intact), acupuncture group inserting straightly with LI4 & KI7 method((LI4-straight KI7-straight), acupuncture group inserting twisting with LI4 tonificaton & KI7 tonificaton method(LI4-tonify KI7-tonify) and acupuncture group inserting twisting with LI4 sedation & KI7 sedation method(LI4-purge KI7-purge). We obtained the baseline data under cold condition with the temperature $14{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. After making the participant staying under cold condition for 10 minute, we measured sweating rate on skin surface and biological responses such as body temperature, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, deoxy-Hb and oxy-Hb in subcutaneous. Results : The sweating rate on skin surface was not different in all treatment groups compared to the intact group. The body temperature was significantly increased in LI4-straight KI7-straight group compared to the intact group. The oxygen saturation significantly increased in LI4-purge KI7-purge group compared to the intact group. The systolic blood pressure was significantly increased in LI4-purge KI7-purge group compared to the intact group. The deoxy-Hb was significantly decreased in LI4-purge KI7-purge group compared to the intact group. Conclusions : The above results, the effect of LI4, KI7 acupuncture due to the tonifying or sedative manipulation on sweating control could be observed. However, other biological responses with the acupuncture of tonifying or sedative manipulation were giving different expressions. We suggest that continued research of tonifying or sedative manipulation is of importance order to find these expressions.

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.

Spatial homogenity of Mg (4 mole %):LiNb$O_3$ is investigated by studying the characteristic of Second Harmonic Generation in Mg:LiNb$O_3$ as a function of temperature and DC Electric Field. It is found that the temperaturs at which the intensity of the second harmonic is reduced to the first zero from its maximum for the phase matching condition is shifted linearly to the strength of DC Electric field applied to optic axis of Mg:LiNb$O_3$. From these results, the electro-optic coefficient of Mg:LiNb$O_3$ is estimated to be higher than that of Congruent LiNb$O_3$ by a factor of 1.5.
