The spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$was obtained by two consecutive heat treatment on xerogel; the first heat treatment was at $150^{\circ}C$ and the second at $350^{\circ}C$ was obtained by sol-gel process using an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and manganese acetate. The synthesized $LiMn_2O_4$ by the sol-gel process showed a discharge capacity of 88~56 mAh/g after 15 cycles in Li/lM $LiClO_4$(in PC)/$LiMn_2O_4$at a current density of 0.25 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the voltage ranged 3.5 V to 4.3 V. For the second heat treatment above $350^{\circ}C$, $Mn_2O_3$was formed as a by-product during the synthesis of $LiMn_2O_4$. The heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$, for example, showed a lower discharge capacity 81~47 mAh/g, after the 15 charge/discharge cycles. The lower capacity was due to the increment of $Mn^{3+}$ ion and this phenomenon was in agreement with the Jahn-Teller distortion.

본 연구에서는 리튬 금속을 음극소재로 사용하기 위해 수지상 리튬의 성장을 억제하기 위한 지침을 얻기 위한 목적으로 TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope)과 임피던스를 주된 분석 수단으로 이용하여 2. 15 M LiBETI/ PC, 2.04 M $LiClO_4$/ PC 전해질은 1 M LiBETI/ PC, 1 M $LiClO_4$/ PC 전해질보다 얇고 치밀한 SEI(Solid Electrolyte Interphase) 구조를 가지고, 클로로포름에 의해 SEI의 유기물이 녹아 두께가 얇아 졌다. 임피던스를 측정한 결과 두꺼운 두께를 가진 SEI는 저항이 더 크고, 클로로포름 처리 후에는 저항이 커진 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The electrode potential characteristics of a YSZ based membrane metal oxide electrode have been studied in molten LiCL at $700^{\circ}C$ by the potentiometric method. The electrode exhibited a good potential response to log[$O^2$] and data reproducibility. The calibration plot (potential vs. log[$O^2$] was found to be linear, obeying the Nernst equation. The electrode potential showed a good reversibility corresponding to increase/decrease of the oxide ion present in the molten LiCl. The physical and chemical durability appeared to be sound after several repeated uses, resulting in reproducible results. However, "the proposed electrode" failed when metallic Li was present in the melt.

Various types of iron oxide based materials as a cathode of lithium secondary battery have been prepared and their electrochemical characteristics have been also observed. In order to understand the fundamental characteristics of iron oxide electrode, three kinds of iron oxides such as iron oxides formed by direct oxidation of iron plate or iron powders and FeOOH powders were tested with cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation and reduction peaks due to the reaction of intercalation and deintercalation were not observed for the iron oxide prepared with iron plate and FeOOH powders. In case of iron oxide prepared from iron powders, only one reduction peak was observed. A layered form of $LiFeO_2$ was synthesized directly from $FeCl_3\cdot6H_2O,\;NaOH\;and\;LiOH$ and LiOH by hydrothermal reaction. The effect of NaOH on the electrode performance was examined. When increasing NaOH, it provides the electrode with less discharge capacity and efficiency, however, decreasing rate of discharge capacity became smaller. $LiFeO_2$ synthesized with the molar ratio of $NaOH/FeCl_3/LiOH$, 2/1/7 showed the largest capacity, but the discharging efficiency was sharply decreased after 30 cycles.

Novel citric acid based Ti, Nb and Ta precursors that are highly stable in the presence of water were developed. No alkoxides of Ti, Nb and Ta were utilized in the preparation, instead much less moisture-sensitive metallic Ti, NbCl5 and TaCl5 were chosen as starting chemicals for Ti, Nb and Ta, respectively. The feasibility of these chemicals as precursors is demonstrated in the powder synthesis of BaTi4O9, Y3NbO7 and LiTaO3. The water-resistant Ti precursor was employed as a new source of water-soluble Ti in the amorphous citrate method, and phase pure BaTi4O9 in powdered form was successfully synthesized at 800 ？. The Pechini-type polymerizable complex method using the water-resistant Nb and Ta precursors was applied to the synthesis of Y3NbO7 and LiTaO3, and both the powder materials in their pure form were successfully synthesized at reduced tempera-tures, viz. 500-700 ？. The remarkable retardation of hydrolysis of these water-resistant precursors is explained in terms of the partial charge model theory.

[ $SiO_2$ ] effect on the electrochemical properties of polymeric gel electrolytes(PGEs) reinforced with glass fiber cloth(GFC) was investigated . PGEs were composed of polyacrylronitrile(PAN), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)), $LiClO_4$ and three kind of plasticizer(ethylene carbonate, dietyl carbonate, propylene carbonate). $SiO_2$ was added to PGEs in the weight fraction of 10, 20, $30\%$ respectively. PGEs containing $SiO_2$ showed conductivity of over $10^{-3}S/cm\;at\;23^{\circ}C$ and electrochemical stability window to 4.8V. In the impedance spectra of the cells, which were constructed by lithium metals as electrodes, interfacial resistance increased due to growth of passivation layer during storage time and remarkable difference was not observed with content of $SiO_2$. In the impedance spectra of the lithium ion polymer batteries consisted of $LiClO_2$ and mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber(MCF), ohmic cell resistance of $SiO_2-free$ PGE was changed continuously with number of cycle, but those of $SiO_2-dispersed$ PGEs were not. Discharge capacity of the PGE containing $20wt\%\;SiO_2$ showed 132 mAh/g at 0.2C rate and $85\%$ of discharge capacity was retained at 2C rate.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte with plasticizer is very unstable. Passivation phenomena in polymer electrolyte cell was described by the SPL model. The time dependance of the impedance indicates that a passivation layer grows rapidly on the Li surface. However, the growing of passivation layer on the Li surface can be restrained by addition of zeolite to the PEO electrolyte. It suggested that addition of zeoliteto to the PEO-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte effectively controls the formation of a passivation layer on Li electrode.
