Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) coated Manganese Dioxide (PEDOT/$MnO_2$) composite electrode was fabricated by simply immersing the $MnO_2$ electrode in an acidic aqueous solution containing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomers. Analysis of open-circuit potential of the $MnO_2$ electrode in the solution indicates the reduction of outer surface of $MnO_2$ to dissolved $Mn^{2+}$ ions and simultaneously oxidation of EDOT monomer to PEDOT on the $MnO_2$ surface to form a PEDOT shell via a galvanic displacement reaction. Analysis of cyclic voltammograms and specific capacitance of the PEDOT/$MnO_2$, conductive carbon added $MnO_2$ and conductive carbon added PEDOT/$MnO_2$ electrodes suggests that the conductive carbon acted mainly to provide a continuous conducting path in the electrode to improve the rate capability and the PEDOT layer on $MnO_2$ acts to increase the active reaction site of $MnO_2$.

Stability of a cathode material was determined by Tafel plot in 1 M LiOH solution. The stabilized $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ (x=0.05~0.1) electrode resulted in overpotential of 0.13~0.15 mV at 100 mA. This overpotential was 0.05 mV lower than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode. Conductivity test at various potentials showed that the conductivity of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ was higher than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ and the bulk resistance of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ due to the dissolution of $Mn^{2+}$ was lowered.

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.

ZnGa2O4 and Mn-doped ZnGa2O4 were synthesized using the state reaction method to investigate their photoluminescence characteristics depending on Mn concentration. Under 254nm excitation, ZnGa2O4 exhibited a broad-band emission extending from 330 nm to 610 nm peaking at 450nm. On the other hand Mn-doped ZnGa2O4 showed a new strong narrow-band emission peaking at 504 nm and maximum intensity at the doping concentration of 0.006 mole Mn.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop LiMnO$_2$-organic and Li$_{0.3}$MnO$_{2}$-organic composite with high energy density for Lithium ion polymer battery. This paper describes cyclic voltammetry, impedance sepctroscopy, electrochemical properties of LiMnO$_2$-organic and Li$_{0.3}$MnO$_{2}$-organic composite with polymer electrolyte as a function of a mixed ratio. The first discharge capacity of LiMnO$_2$-PAn with 3 wt.% PAn was 83mHA/g, while that of Li$_{0.3}$MnO$_{2}$-PPy composite was 136 mAh/g. The Ah efficiency was above 98% after the 2nd cycle. The LiMnO$_2$-PAn with DMcT 2 wt.% and Li$_{0.3}$MnO$_{2}$-PPy composites cathode with 5wt. PPy in PVDF-PC-EC-LiClO$_4$ electrolyte showed good capaity with cycling. The discharge capacity of LiMnO$_2$-PAn with wt.% DMcT was 80 and 130 mAh/g at 1st and 12th cycle, respectively. The capacity of LiMnO$_2$-PAn composite with 2 wt.% DMcT was higher than that of LiMnO$_2$-PAn composite.mposite.

In natural environments, manganese (Mn) exists in the valence of +2, +3, and +4 and plays a pivotal role as a strong oxidant or reductant in the geochemical cycles of elements. Especially, Mn forms varying (oxyhydr)oxides. The oxidation state of structural Mn is characteristic to each oxide and is one of the most important factors controlling its geochemical behaviors such as solubility, sorption capacity, and redox potential. Therefore, it is important to elucidate processes governing Mn oxidation state in predicting the fate and transport of many redox sensitive elements in the environment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a very useful method to determine the oxidation state of various elements in solid phases. In this study, the oxidation states of structural Mn in MnO, $Mn_2O_3$, $MnO_2$ were assessed based on the binding energy spectra of $Mn2p_{3/2}$ and Mn3s using XPS and were compared with those reported elsewhere. $Mn2p_{3/2}$ binding energies were determined as 640.9, 641.5, 641.8 eV for MnO, $Mn_2O_3$, $MnO_2$, respectively, which indicates that the binding energy increased with increasing Mn oxidation state. It was also noted that Ar etching may cause changes in electronic structure configuration on surface of the original sample.

10 wt% Mn supported on various commercial $TiO_2$ catalysts were prepared by wet-impregnation method for the low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with $NH_3$. A combination of various physico-chemical techniques such as BET, XRD, XPS and TPR were used to characterize these catalysts. MnOx surface densities on MnOx/$TiO_2$ catalyst were related to surface area. As MnOx surface density lowered with high dispersion, the SCR activity for low temperature was increased and the reduction temperature ($MnO_2$ ${\rightarrow}$ $Mn_2O_3$) of surface MnOx was lower. For a high SCR, MnOx could be supported on a high surface area of $TiO_2$ and should be existed a high dispersion of non-crystalline species.

The effects of MnO$_2$ addition on the properties in Pb(Mg$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$ relaxor ferroelectrics were studied in the phase transition temperature range from -4$0^{\circ}C$ to 11$0^{\circ}C$. Specimens were made via solid state processing method. Dielectric properties, piezoelctric properties, electric-field-induced strain were examined to clarify the effect of MnO$_2$ addition in 0.9MN-0.1PT. As the amount of MnO$_2$ increases, the maximum dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decreases. Q$_{m}$ increased by increasing the doping contents of Mn. When 0.5wt% MnO$_2$ was doped, Q$_{m}$ increased from 95 to 480. The electric-filed-induced strain and polarization decreases as the amount of MnO$_2$ increases. From the experimental results, it was suggested that Mn behaves as an ferroelectric domain pinning element.ent.
