Spinel $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ has received great attention as one of the most outstanding cathode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high energy density resulting from the operating voltage of ~ 4.7 V (vs. $Li^+/Li$) based on the $Ni^{2+}/Ni^{4+}$ redox reaction. However, $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ is known to suffer from undesirable side reactions with the electrolyte at high voltage as well as Mn dissolution from the structure. These issues prevent the realization of the optimal electrochemical performance of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$. Extensive research has been conducted to overcome these issues. This review presents an overview of the various surface-modification methods available to improve the electrochemical properties of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ and provides perspectives on further research aimed at the application of $LiNi_{0.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ as a cathode material in commercialized LIBs.

$Li_{0.44}MnO_2$cathode material has high reversibility during lithium insertion processes and is not easily damaged through over-charging or over-discharging. $Mn_2O_3$is often present as an impurity phase, and reduce the electrochemical capacity of electrode because this phase is electrochemically inert. Adding of excess NaOH reduced the $Mn_2O_3$to the content under undetectable by X-ray diffraction. Because the capacity can be increased in the cathode materials with larger unit cell, some of the manganese was replaced with titanium having larger ion size, and powders with the formula $Li_{0.44}T_{iy}Mn_{1-y}O_2$(where y = 0.11, 0.22, 0.33, 0.44, and 0.55) was synthesized and characterized. A maximum reversible capacity of 150 mAh/g was obtained for $Li/P(EO)_8$LiTFSI/$Li_{0.44}Ti_{0.22}Mn_{0.78}O_2$cells in electrochemical potential spectroscopy (ECPS) experiments. Cells with the titanium-doped manganese oxides exhibited a fade rate of 0.12 % or less per cycle.

Effects of different heat treatments on microstructure and damping capacity of Cu-55%Mn alloy were investigated to find an optimum heat treatment condition for a maximum damping capacity. The alloy showed the high level of damping capacity in case of the aging at 375 and $400^{\circ}C$. This is ascribed to the FCC${\rightarrow}$FCT martensitic transformation and microstructural changes from mottled to tweed band type. The damping capacity had a maximum value of 0.33 in logarithmic decrement when the alloy was aged at $375^{\circ}C$ for 14 hours followed by 20 times of thermal cycling between room temperature and $250^{\circ}C$. The refinement of tweed structure by thermal cycling is thought to be responsible for the highest damping capacity.

The ligninolytic basidiomycete, Pleurotus ostreatus K-2946, was produced a manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity when grown in liquid culture with glucose-yeast-peptone (G-Y-P) medium. However, lignin peroxidase (LiP) was not detected in this culture medium. The purification progress of MnP was purified that included chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B, Superdex 75 prep grade and Mono-Q. MnP purified by column chromatography, was 36400 dalton and a pI of 3.95. The optimal pH and temperature of the purified MnP activity were 5.0 and $55^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of MnP produced was quite similar to those of MnP 3 isoenzyme produced by other strains of P. ostreatus.

The sulfuric acid leaching of ferromanganese dust was studied. The effect of acid concentration, reaction temperature, stirring rate, particle size and solid to liquid ratio on Mn and Fe extraction in the solution were investigated. It was found that the leaching rate of Mn and Fe increased with increasing reaction temperature and sulfuric acid concentration. Examination of data by shrinking core model suggested that the leaching rate is controlled by chemical reaction at the surface of particle. The activation energy for the leaching reaction of Mn and Fe were calculated to be 79.55 kJ/mol and 77.48 kJ/mol, respectively.

We calculated the EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) line-shape function. The line-widths of a -doped single crystal was studied as a function of the temperature with 0.5 and 2 at. at a frequency of (X-band). The line-width decreases with increasing temperature, such temperature behavior of the line-width can indicate a motional narrowing of the spectrum, when impurity ions substitute for host ions in an off-center position, and thus there can be fast jumping of dipoles between several symmetrically equivalent configurations. Therefore, the present technique is considered to be more convenient to explain the resonant system as in the case of other optical transition problems.

A simple and rapid electrochemical method for the quantitative analysis of $Mn^{2+}$ ion is demonstrated with a view to examine the $Mn^{2+}$ dissolution behavior of $LiMn_2O_4$. The method described herein is based on the oxidation reaction of $Mn^{2+}$ to $Mn^{4+}(MnO_2)$ in aqueous buffer solution. Under the optimum condition (pH 8.9 0.04 M $NH_3-NH_4Cl$ buffer solution and glassy carbon working electrode), the linear range of $5{\mu}M-100{\mu}M$ (0.275-5.5 ppm) [$Mn^{2+}$] is obtained for the Linear sweep voltammetry(LSV) and $0.2{\mu}M-10{\mu}M$ (0.011-0.55 ppm) [$Mn^{2+}$] for the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), respectively. It is also noted that the oxidation reaction of $Mn^{2+}$ ion is reduced with increasing amount of the electrolyte ($LiPF_6$, EC, EMC) added to the measuring solution, which is found to be mainly due to $LiPF_6$ and EC rather than EMC.
