Spinel $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ and $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn) powders were synthesized by solid-state method at $800^{\circ}C$ for 37h. Crystal structure and electrochemical properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry and ac impedance to $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$. All cathode material showed spinel structure in X-ray diffraction. Ununiform distortion which calculated by (111) face and (222) face was almost constant in spite of the change of the kind and the substituting ratio of the metal cation in $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4$ (M=Mg, Zn). $LiMn_{1.9}Mg_{0.05}Zn_{0.05}O_4/Li$ cell substituted $Mg^{+2}$ and $Zn^{+2}$ showed excellent discharge capacities than other cells, which it presented about 120mAh/g at the 1st cycle and about 73mAh/g at the 250th cycle, respectively. AC impedance of $LiMn_{2-y}M_yO_4/Li$ cells showed the similar resistance of about 65~110$\Omega$ before cycling.

Development of advanced Li-ion battery cells with high durability is critical for safe operation, especially in applications to electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. Understanding fundamental mechanism on the formation of a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, which plays a substantial role in the electrochemical stability of the Li-ion battery, in a cathode was rarely reported unlike in an anode. Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab-initio molecular dynamic (AIMD) simulations we demonstrate atomic-level process on the generation of the SEI layer at the interface of a carbonate-based electrolyte and a spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ cathode. To accomplish the object we calculate the energy band alignment between the work function of the cathode and frontier orbitals of the electrolyte. We figure out that a proton abstraction from the carbonate-based electrolyte is a critical step for the initiation of an SEI layer formation. Our results can provide a design concept for stable Li-ion batteries by optimizing electrolytes to form proper SEI layers.

Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) was studied as an additive for the electrolyte in lithium ion batteries with the $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ (LNMO) spinel cathode operating at a high potential beyond 4.7 V (vs. $Li/Li^+$). It was found that the FEC additive was electrochemically active for the $1^{st}$ charge cycle on the LNMO cathode. The presence of a large amount of FEC (more than 40 vol%) in the electrolyte caused severe side reactions with abnormally long voltage plateaus. In contrast, when the electrolyte contained less than 30 vol% FEC, the surface of the LNMO cathode was stabilized by the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), leading to improved cyclability. However, the resistance from the SEI limited the rate capability because of sluggish lithium transportation through the SEI and electronic insulation between the particles in the electrode.

Spinel cathode material $LiMn_2O_4$ is currently studied as a promising cathode material for lithium ion secondary batteries for future applications because of it is low cost, easy to be prepared and capable to be operated in high voltage range. However as a cathode material, $LiMn_2O_4$ performs a poor capacity retention which leads to short cycle life. In this study, stoichiometric $LiMn_2O_4$ was synthesized with granulation method with ion substitution to stabilize its structure and niobium doping to improve its conductivity. These well-mixed powders were calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours and its properties were investigated. Correlations of dopant and electrochemical properties were examined as well.

LiMn2O4 thin fiolm cathodes for Li-ion secondary battery were fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. As-deposited films were amorphous. A spinel structure could not be obtained LiMn2O4 films by in-situ thermal annealing. After post thermal annealing over $700^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere, LiMn2O4 films prepared above 100 W r.f. power could be crystallized into a spinel structure. The electrochemical property of the LiMn2O4 film cathodes was tested in a Li/1 M LiClO4 in PC/LiMn2O4 cell. From cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 2mV/sec of 2.5~4.5V, LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed good initial capacity. LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ showed the best crycling performance.
