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.

$Li_{4/3}Mn_{5/3}O_4$ having a defect structure was prepared by sol-gel process using lithium acetate and manganese acetate as starting materials, and their electrode characteristics in the lithium secondary battery was investigated. The reaction mole ratio was determined as $AA/Mn(OAc)_2$ of 0.2 and $NH_4OH/Mn(OAc)_2$ to $H_2O/Mn(OAc)_2$ of 0.4. The product was obtained through heat treatment at $350^{\circ}C$ for 12hrs after 1'st heat treatment at $150^{\circ}C$ of xerogel under oxygen atmosphere. When the charge and discharge cycles were performed between 2.0 V and 3.2 V, $Li/Li_{4/3}Mn_{5/3}O_4$ cell showed the dicharge capacity of 84.23 mAh/g and the good cycleability was obtained in the plateau region.

$LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$ and $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ synthesized by a simplified combustion method had good electrochemical properties. Mixtures $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$-x wt$\%$ $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ (x=9, 23, 33, 41, and 47) were prepared by milling for 30 min and their electrochemical properties were investigated. The electrode with x=9 had a relatively large first discharge capacity (109.9 mAh/g at 0.1 C) and good cycling performance. The decrease in the discharge capacity of the mixture electrodes with cycling is considered to result mainly from the degradation of $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$, caused by coating of $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ with Mn dissolved from $LiMn_{1.92}Co_{0.08}O_4$.

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%.

This research which it sees adds $LiMn_2O_4$ in the activated carbon electrode the test against the effect which it follows is. Test cells, which were $LiMn_2O_4$fabricated with active mass composite consisted of (100-X)% of MSP-20 and (X)% of $LiMn_2O_4$ (X=20,40,60,80,100), exhibits the better specific capacitance than those of the cells fabricated with single active mass that is MSP-20. The enhanced properties of composite active mass could be caused by capability of $LiMn_2O_4$ powders. But the resistance was increase by proportionate in $LiMn_2O_4$ addition and when mixture ratio of the activated carbon and the $LiMn_2O_4$ being similar, to be low rather to the after where had become the maximum it came.

Cathode materials $LiMn_{2-y}$$M_{y}$ $O_4$(M=Zn and Mg) were obtained by reacting the mixture of LiOH.$H_2O$, Mn $O_2$ and MgO ar ZnO at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h in an air atmosphere. These materials showed an extended cycle life in lithium-anode cells working at room temperatue in a 3.0 to 4.3V potential window. Among these materials, LiM $n_{1.9}$M $g_{0.1}$ $O_4$ showed the best cycle performance in terms of the capacity and cycle life. The discharge capacities of the cathode for the Li/LiM $n_{1.9}$ $M_{0.1}$ $O_4$ cell at the 1st cycle and at the 70th cycle were about 120 and 105mAh/g, respectively. This cell capacity is retained by 88% after 70th cycle. In cyclic voltammetry measurement, all cells revealed tow oxidation peaks and reduction peaks.

Li-Mn spinel ($LiMn_2O_4$) is prepared by a hydrothermal process with K-Birnessite ($KMnO_4{\cdot}yH_2O$) as a precursor. The K-Birnessite obtained via a hydrothermal process with potassium permanganate [$KMnO_4$] and urea [$CO(NH_2)_2$] as starting materials are converted to Li-Mn spinel nanoparticles reacting with LiOH. The molar ratio of LiOH/K-Birnessite is adjusted in order to find the effect of the ratio on the structural, morphological and electrochemical performances of the Li-Mn spinel. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and thermogravimetry (TG) are used to investigate the crystal structure and morphology of the samples. Galvanostatic charge and discharge are carried out to measure the capacity and rate capability of the Li-Mn spinel. The capacity shows a maximum value of $117\;mAhg^{-1}$ when the molar ratio of LiOH/K-Birnessite is 0.8 and decreases with the increase of the ratio. However the rate capability is improved with the increase of the ratio due to the reduction of the particle size.
