[ $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ ] powder was prepared using a simple combustion method. specially, ratio of 2:1, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2 was adopted as acetate source/nitrate source. The diffraction pattern of $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ powder showed that this compound could be classified as hexagonal $a-NaFeO_2$ structure (space group : $R\bar{3}m$). The size of powder was less than $1{\mu}m$. Small particle size of cathode powder would give a good ionic and electronic conductivity to cathode electrode, which made of cathode powder. As the increase of nitrate source-ratio, discharge capacity of $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ at high charge-discharge rate was increased. When the ratio of acetate source/nitrate source was 1:2, discharge capacity at 10 C rate (2000 mA/g) was 180 mAh/g. It was $10{\sim}15%$ larger than that of powder, which have 2:1 as acetate source/nitrate ratio.

Due to the serious air pollution problem, interest in eco-friendly vehicles is increasing. Solving the problem of pollution will necessitate the securing of high energy storage technology for batteries, the driving force of eco-friendly vehicles. The reason for the continuing interest in the transition metal oxide LiMO₂ as a cathode material with a layered structure is that lithium ions reveal high mobility in two-dimensional space. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effective intercalation and deintercalation pathways of Li⁺, which affect battery capacity, to understand the internal structure of the cathode particle and its effect on the electrochemical performance. In this study, for the cathode material, high nickel Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1(OH)₂ precursor is synthesized by controlling the ammonia concentration. Thereafter, the shape of the primary particles of the precursor is investigated through SEM analysis; X-ray diffraction analysis is also performed. The electrochemical properties of LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ are evaluated after heat treatment.

LiMn$_2$O$_4$is prepared by reacting stoichiometric mixture of LiOH . $H_2O$ and MnO$_2$(mole ratio 1 : 2) and heating at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 24h, 36h, 48h, 60h and 72h. All LiMn$_2$O$_4$cathode active materials show spinel structure. Cathode active materials calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 36h, charge/discharge characteristics and cycle stability have remarkable advantages. Used that super-s-black and 20wt% as conductive agent in LiMn$_2$O$_4$, it is excellent than property of cathode used Acetylene black or mixture of Super-s-black and acetylene black at charge/discharge capacity and cycle stability.

We report on the characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes with Al cathode deposited by specially designed twin target sputter(TTS) system. It was found that the Al cathode films grown by TTS system were amorphous structure with nanocrystallines due to low substrate temperature during sputtering process. Effective confinement of high-density plasma between two Al targets lead to low temperature sputtering process on organic layer. Moreover, organic light-emitting diodes with Al cathode deposited by TTS system exhibited low leakage current density of $4{\times}10^{-6}\;mA/cm2$ at -6 V indicating plasma damage due to bombardment of energetic particles such as ions and $\gamma$-electrons was effectively restricted in the ITS system. Sputtering method using ITS system is expected to be applied in organic electronics and flexible displays due to its low temperature and plasma damage free deposition process.

Ni-rich cathode materials have been developed as the most promising candidates for next-generation cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and energy density. In particular, the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries could be enhanced by increasing the contents of nickel ion. However, there are still limitations, such as low structural stability, cation mixing, low capacity retention and poor rate capability. Herein, we have successfully developed the nanorod-type Ni-rich cathode materials by using co-precipitation method. Particularly, the nanorod-type primary particles of LiNi_0.7Co_0.15Mn_0.15O₂ could facilitate the electron transfer because of their longitudinal morphology. Moreover, there were holes at the center of secondary particles, resulting in high permeability of the electrolyte. Lithium-ion batteries using the prepared nanorod-type LiNi_0.7Co_0.15Mn_0.15O₂ achieved highly improved electrochemical performance with a superior rate capability during battery cycling.

A new treatment of LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ has beer proposed for improving its electrochemical behavior as a cathode material secondary lithium batteries. Early in its development, the preparation method of LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ strongly influenced its electrochemical properties, such as discharge capacity, rate capability and cycling efficiency. In the present experiment, a new synthesis route has been applied to obtain LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ . Instead of the conventional high temperature technique leading to the crystalline form, a solution technique producing the amorphous form has been used. This material, after dehydration, shows an electrochemical performance exceeding that of the crystalline one. These measurements showed that the ultrasonic treatment process of crystalline LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ causes a decrease in crystallinity and considerable increases in specific surface area and interlayer spacing. So the ultrasonic method provides a convenient means for improving the electrochemical behavior of LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ as a cathode material for secondary lithium batteries.batteries.

A fabrication condition of the cathode electrode was optimized in a lithium secondary battery. The $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ powders were used as a cathode material. The $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$/Li cells were prepared with a certain formulation and their cycleability and rate-capability were evaluated. Optimum electrode composition simulated from the evaluated value was 86.3: 5.6: 8.1 in mass $\%$ of active material: binder: conducting material. Discharge capacity decreased markedly as the press ratio exceeded $30\%$ during preparation of the electrode. Discharge performance at a high current rate deteriorated abruptly as the electrode thickness was over $120{\mu}m$.

Ag doping effect on $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ cathode material was studied. Specially, we focused on rate performance of Ag doped samples. The $Li[Ni_{0.2}Li_{0.2}Mn_{0.6}]O_2$ powder was prepared by simple combustion method and the Ag was doped using $AgNO_3$ during gelation process. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, there was no structural change by Ag doping, but the 'metallic' form of Ag was included in the doped powder. Both bare and Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed similar discharge capacity of 242 mAh/g at 0.2C rate. However, as the increase of charge-discharge rate to 3C, Ag 1 wt.% doped sample showed higher discharge capacity (172 mAh/g) and better cyclic performance than those of bare sample. The discharge capacity of Ag 5 wt.% doped sample was relatively low at all rate condition. However it displayed better rate performance than other samples.
