$LiMnBO_3$ was successfully synthesized by a solid-state reaction method both with and without a carbon coating. Adipic acid was used as source material for the carbon coating. $LiMnBO_3$ was composed of many small polycrystalline particles with a size of about 50 - 70 nm, which showed a very even particle morphology and highly ordered crystalline particulates. Whereas the carbon coated $LiMnBO_3$ was well covered by mat-like, fine material consisting of amorphous carbon derived from the carbonization of adipic acid during the synthetic process. Carbon coated cell exhibited improved and stable discharge capacity profile over the untreated. Two cells delivered an initial discharge capacity of 111 and 58 mAh/g for $LiMnBO_3$/C and $LiMnBO_3$, respectively. Carbon coating on the surface of the $LiMnBO_3$ drastically improved discharge capacity due to the improved electric conductivity in the $LiMnBO_3$ material.

3D microbattery에 사용할 수 있는 $LiMn_2O_4$ 3차원 박막전극을 제조하여 그 전기화학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 3차원 구조의 형성을 위하여 먼저 polystyrene(PS) microsphere를 platinum이 증착된 Si/$SiO_2$ 기판위에 dip-coating 방식으로 코팅시켜 template로 사용하였다. 그 위에 sol-gel법을 이용, 박막을 형성시킨 후 template 를 제거하는 방식으로 $LiMn_2O_4$ 3차원 박막전극을 형성하였는데 이때 solution은 Lithium acetylacetonate[$LiCH_3CO-CHCOCH_3$], Manganese(III) acetylacetonate [Mn$(CH_3COCHCOCH_3)_3$]를 source 물질로 1-butanol과 acetic acid를 solvent로 활용하여 제조하였다.

Well-defined orthorhombic $LiMnO_2\;and\;LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_2$ were synthesized by a solid-state reaction and quenching process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that the as-synthesized powders showed an orthorhombic phase of a space group with Pmnm. The $Li/LiMnO_2\;and\;Li/LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_2$ cells were constituted and cycled galvanostatically in the voltage range of 2.0-4.3 V vs. $Li/Li^+$ at a current density of $0.5\;mA\;cm^{-2}$ at room temperature and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The results demonstrated that the highest specific capacity of $Li/LiMnO_2$ cells at room temperature and $50^{\circ}C$ was 95 and $155\;mAh\;g^{-1}$, respectively. As for $Li/LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_2$ cells, the highest specific capacity at room temperature and $50^{\circ}C$ was 160 and $250\;mAh\;g^{-l}$, respectively. It could be seen that the performance of $Li/LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_2$ cells was better than that of $Li/LiMnO_2$ cells.

3-Dimensionally ordered macroporous $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film was prepared by a sol-gel and dip coating method on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate. An opal structure consisting of mono dispersed polystyrene beads (300 nm) was used as a template. After solution containing Mn and Li precursors was coated on the template-deposited substrate, the template and organic materials in the precursors was removed by calcination at 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. And then the 3-dimensional $LiMn_2O_4$ thin film with spinel structure was fabricated by heat treatment at 700 ${^{\circ}C}$. The structural and electrochemical property was investigated by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge cycler.

Well-defined o-$LiMnO_2$ cathode materials were synthesized using LiOH and $Mn_3O_4$ starting materials at $1050^{\circ}C$ in an argon flow by quenching method. The synthesized $LiMnO_2$ particles with crystalline phases were identified with X-ray diffraction (XRD, Dmax/1200, Rigaku). XRD results, demonstrated that the compound $LiMnO_2$ can be indexed to a single-phase material having the orthorhombic structure. In this paper, we analyzed the electrochemical performance of $LiMnO_2$/Li using solid polymer electrolyte and liquid electrolyte.

[ $LiMn_2O_4$ ] powders for lithium ion batteries were synthesized from two separate raw material pairs of LiOH/MnO and $LiOH/MnO_2$. The powders prepared at 780 and $850^{\circ}C$ and their difference of electrochemical properties were investigated. Both powders calcined at 780 and $850^{\circ}C$ were composed of a single-phase spinel structure but those treated at $850^{\circ}C$ showed a lower intensity ratio of $I_{311}$ to $I_{400}$, a slightly larger lattice parameter, and an increased discharge capacity by 10% under $3.0{\sim}4.3V$ voltage range. The XPS study on the oxidation states of manganese repealed that powders made from LiOH/MnO had less $Mn^{3+}$ ion and gave better battery performances than those from $LiOH/MnO_2$.

Li-air batteries have received much attention due to their superior theoretical energy density. However, their sluggish kinetics on the cathode side is considered the main barrier to high performance. The rational design of electrode catalysts with high activity is therefore an important challenge. To solve this issue, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to analyze the adsorption behavior of the $LiO_2$ molecule, which is considered to be a key intermediate in both the Li-oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the evolution reaction (OER). Specifically, to use the activity descriptor approach, the $LiO_2$ adsorption energy, which has previously been demonstrated to be a reliable descriptor of the cathode reaction in Li-air batteries, was calculated on $LaB_{1-x}B^{\prime}_xO_3$(001) (B, B' = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, x = 0.0, 0.5). Our fast screening results showed that $LaMnO_3$, $LaMn_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}O_3$, or $LaFeO_3$ would be good candidate catalysts. We believe that our results will provide a way to more efficiently develop new cathode materials for Li-air batteries.

Li(Ni, Co, Mn)$O_2$ has been known as one of the most promising cathode materials for lithium secondary batteries. However, it has some problems to overcome for commercialization such as inferior rate capability and unstable thermal stability. In order to address these problems, surface modification of cathode materials by coating has been investigated. In the coating techniques, selection of coating material is a key factor of obtaining enhanced properties of cathode materials. In this work, we introduced solid electrolyte (Li-La-Ti-O) as a coating material on the surface of $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ cathode. Specially, we focused on a rate performance of Li-La-Ti-O coated $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ cathode. Both bare and Li-La-Ti-O 2 wt.% coated sample showed similar discharge capacity at 0.5C rate. However, as the increase of charge-discharge rate to 3C, the coated samples displayed better discharge capacity and cyclic performance than those of bare sample.

초음파분무열분해법과 한 단계의 후열처리로 이차상이 없는 Al이 첨가된 $Li(Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3-x}Al_x)O_2$ (x=0.0, 0.005, 0.01. 0.05) 리튬이차전지용 양극활물질을 합성하였다. 합성된 분말은 Al의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라서 $I_{003}/I_{104}$ 비는 감소하고 입자가 커지는 경향을 보였다. 상온에서 전류밀도 1C의 rate로 $3.0\sim4.5V$ 범위에서 충방전 시험한 결과, Al 치환량이 0.5와 1.0 at%에서는 초기용량이 180과 $184mAhg^{-1}$으로 치환하지 않았을 때의 $182mAhg^{-1}$과 차이가 없었으며, 싸이클 특성도 치환하지 않은 것과 0.5, 1.0 at% 치환한 조성에서 각각 81, 77, 81%의 방전용량이 유지되었다. 그러나 $3.0\sim4.6V$에서는 치환효과가 확실하게 나타나서, 50 싸이클 후의 치환하지 않은 것의 방전용량은 초기용량의 30%가지 감소한데 비하여 Al을 0.5 at% 치환한 것은 70%를 유지하였다. 치환에 의한 싸이클 특성 향상은 XPS 분석 결과 Al 치환이 $Mn^{3+}$의 양을 감소시켰기 때문인 것으로 사료되었다.
