New wet chemical method so called precipitation-evaporation method was suggested for preparing spinel structure lithium manganese oxide ($LiMn_2$$O_4$) for Li ion secondary battery. Using precipitation-evaporation method, $LiMn_2$$O_4$ cathode materials suitable for Li ion secondary batteries can be synthesized. Single spinel phase $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder was synthesized at lower temperature compared to that of prepared by solid-state method. $LiMn_2$$O_4$ powder prepared by precipitation-evaporation method showed uniform, small size and well defined crystallinity particles. Li ion secondary battery using $LiMn_2$$O_4$ as cathode materials prepared by precipitation-evaporation method and calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ showed discharge capacity of 106.03mAh/g and discharge capacity of 95.60mAh/g at 10th cycle. Although Li ion secondary battery showed somewhat smaller initial capacity but good cyclic ability. It is suggested that electro-chemical properties can be improved by controlling particle characteristics by particle morphology modification during calcination and optimizing Li ion secondary battery assembly conditions.

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.

Li metal is accepted as a good counter electrode for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as the active material in Li-ion and Li-ion polymer batteries. We examined the existence of signal noise from a Li-metal counter quantitatively as a preliminary study. We suggest an electrochemical cell with one switchable electrode to obtain the exact impedance signal of active materials. To verify the effectiveness of the switchable electrode, EIS measurements of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) before severe $Li^+$ intercalation to SFG6 graphite (at > ca. 0.25 V vs. Li/$Li^+$) were taken. As a result, the EIS spectra without the signal of Li metal were obtained and analyzed successfully for the following parameters i) $Li^+$ conduction in the electrolyte, ii) the geometric resistance and constant phase element of the electrode (insensitive to the voltage), iii) the interfacial behavior of the SEI related to the $Li^+$ transfer and residence throughout the near-surface (sensitive to voltage), and iv) the term reflecting the differential limiting capacitance of $Li^+$ in the graphite lattice.

In recent years, the rapid growth of portable electronic device market requires higher density characteristics of batteries. The speed at which portability and mobility is advancing hinges much on the battery. What is important is this energy source that engineers design handled devices around the battery, rather than the other way around. Much improvement has been made in reducing the power consumption of portable devices. Currently, the most popular secondary battery is Li-ion battery. Li-ion has won the limelight and become the most prominent battery. This paper reviews the prospect and future of the Li-ion battery.

As cathode materials of LiMn2O4-based lithium-ion secondary batteries, Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 (M=Ni and Co, $\delta$=0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) materials which Co and Ni are substituted for Mn, were syntehsized by the solid state reaction at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. No second phases were formed in Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 system with substitution of Co. However, substitution of Ni caued to form a second phase of NiO when its composition exceeded over 0.2 of $\delta$ in Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4. As the results of charging-discharging test, the maximum capacity of Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 appeared in $\delta$=0.1 for both Co and Ni. Also, Li(Mn1-$\delta$M$\delta$)2O4 electrode showed higher capacity and better cycle performance than LiMn2O4.

In the modern society of the 21st century, portable electronic products using secondary batteries are continuously becoming lightweight and miniaturized. And along with this trend, we are active in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where we collect and share information in our daily lives using wearable electronic devices. Therefore, the role of secondary batteries that can be recharged while using small home appliances and digital devices is increasingly important. Along with this increase, secondary battery performance tests require various test methods such as characteristics, lifespan, failure diagnosis, and recycling. In addition, the construction of a battery test system to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the battery, along with guidelines and correct basic knowledge are being considered. Therefore, in this paper, we will examine the characteristics of the secondary battery Li-ion battery according to the charging and discharging scenarios directly connected to the performance of the battery.

The pollution-free secondary Li ion battery has been developed recently. However due to short history of Li ion battery, the standards for characterized assessments and standardized testing methods have not been prepared and established yet. Also, the researches have not been done systematically regarding the operating methods of these new type of batteries. Such limited knowledge of new batteries emphasizes the importance of development of characterized assessment and the operating methods.

Lithiated cobalt and nickel oxides are becoming very attractive as active cathode materials for secondary lithium ion secondary battery. $LiCoO_2$ is easily synthesized from lithium cobalt salts, but has a relatively high oxidizing potential on charge. LiNiOz is synthesized by a more complex procedure and its nonstoichiometry significantly degraded the charge-discharge characteristics. But $LiNiO_2$ has a lower charge potential which increases the system stability. Lithiated cobalt and nickel oxides are iso-structure which make the preparation of solid solutions of $LiNi_{1-x}Co_xO_2$ for O$LiCoO_2 and LiNiO_2$ electrode. The aim of the presentb paper is to study the electrochemical behaviour, as weU as the possibilities for practical application of layered Iithiated nickel oxide stabilized by $Co^{3+}$ substitution as active cathode materials in lithium ion secondary battery.
