Spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ samples are prepared by heating a $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O/MnO_2$ mixture in air at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h, and their structure and electrochemical performance are studied by using X-ray diffraction, Cyclic Voltammetry, AC Impedance, and Charge-discharge measurements. It was found that the electrochemical properties of the $LiMn_2O_4$ samples are very sensitive to substituted volume of lithium. Initial impedances of all cathode was similar. Initial resistance was $60{\sim}70{\Omega}$. Reaction peak of Cyclic voltammetry was weak by increase of substituted volume of lithium. $Li[Li_{0.08}Mn_{1.92}]O_4$ and $Li[Li_{0.1}Mn_{1.9}]O_4$ cathode materials showed the charge and discharge capacity of about 125mAh/g at first cycle, and about 95mAh/g after 70th cycle. It showed excellent property in sample revealed good structure and other electrochemical property.

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.

$La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ as air electrode for soild oxide fuel cell was synthesized by a citrate process and its cathodic polarization was determinated by the current interruption method on the Gd-doped ceria as electrolyte. The addition of citric acid increased the exothermic heat for the formation of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ perovskite oxide. The degree of the initial particle agglomeration was affected by the exothermic heat. Also the increase of cal-cination temperature enlarged the particle size and the higher sintering temperature accelerated the den-sification of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ layer after its being painted on $Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ electrolyte. In this study $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ synthesized by citrate process of which the molar ratio of citric acid to metal nitrate was 2 calcined at $650^{\circ}C$ for 2hr and sintered at 1100 at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs after slurry coating on Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 electrlyte showed the lowest cathodic polarization.

In this study, the dielectric properties of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3$ Ceramics have been investigated as a addition of the amount of $MnO_2(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.9wt%)$. The Temperature-dependant dielectric characteristics of 0.9PMN-0.1PT relaxor ferroelectric system were improved by enhencing the extent of the diffuse phase transition(DPT). The maximum dielectric permittivity decreased by substitution $MnO_2$ and the dielectric loss decreased with increasing $MnO_2$ substitution amount. It is expected decreasing in inner heat energy for temperature with increasing $MnO_2$ substitution.

Rate capability and cyclability of $LiMn_2O_4$ should be improved in order to use it as a cathode material of lithium-ion batteries for hybrid-electric-vehicles (HEV). To enhance the rate capability and cyclability of $LiMn_2O_4$, it was coated with $MnV_2O_6$ by a sol-gel method. A $V_2O_5$ sol was prepared by a melt-quenching method and the $LiMn_2O_4$ coated with the sol was heat-treated to obtain the $MnV_2O_6$ coating layer. Crystal structure and morphology of the samples were examined by X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM. The electrochemical performances, including cyclability at $60^{\circ}C$, and rate capability of the bare and the coated $LiMn_2O_4$ were measured and compared. Overall, $MnV_2O_6$ coating on $LiMn_2O_4$ improves the cyclability at high temperature and rate capability at room temperature at the cost of discharge capacity. The improvement in cyclability at high temperature and the enhanced rate capability is believed to come from the reduced contact between the electrode, and electrolyte and higher electric conductivity of the coating layer. However, a dramatic decrease in discharge capacity would make it impractical to increase the coating amount above 3 wt %.

Li-Mn spinel의 고온수영 특성을 향상을 위해 졸-겔법으로 $V_2O_5$를 Li-Mn spinel 표면에 코팅을 하였다. $V_2O_5$의 코팅양은 1, 3, 5wt%로 조절하여 코팅 양에 따른 특성변화를 조사하였다. XRD분석결과 $V_2O_5$가 코팅된 Li-Mn spinel을 $400^{\circ}C$에서 열처리시 $Mn(VO_3)_2$가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 충방전 테스트결과, 고온에서 $V_2O_5$를 코팅한 Li-Mn spinel이 우수한 수명을 나타냈다. 하지만 코팅량이 1wt%까지는 용량의 변화가 거의 없었고, 5wt% 코팅시 현격히 용량이 감소하였다.

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.

Ferroelectric properties of $ErMnO_3$ thin films deposited on Si(100) substrate using Sol-gel process with metal salts were investigated. $ErMnO_3$ thin films with a (001) preferred orientation were crystallized at 800$^{\circ}C$. The $ErMnO_3$ thin film post-annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the dielectric constant(k) of 26 and the dielectric loss(tan ${\delta}$) of 0.032 at the frequency range from 1 to 100 KHz. The grain size of $ErMnO_3$ thin film post-annealed at 800 for 1 h was 10∼30 nm. The remanent polarization($P_r$) of the $ErMnO_3$ thin films increased with increasing (001) preferred orientation. The $ErMnO_3$ thin films post-annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the remanent polarization($P_r$) of 400 nC/$cm^2$, with the increase of post-annealing time at 800$^{\circ}C$, the coercive field($E_c$) of thin films was lowered because the dense and homogeneous thin films were obtained.

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.
