The polarization characteristics of the cathodes were discussed which were composed YSZ and ${(La_{0.75 }Sr_{0.25 })}_{0.95}Mn_{0.8 }Co_{0.2}O_3$ The three-phase-boundary length increased with the addition of YSN resulting in the minimum po-larization resistance at 60(LSMC) : 40(YSZ) wt% When LSMC-YSZ compoiste cathodes was sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ minimum polarization resistance was observed and the capacitace increased with increasing sintering tem-perature.

$LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$ (x = 0, 0.1, 1/6, 1.2, 0.3) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement. $LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$ samples give single phases of hexagonal layered structures with a space group of R-3m for x = 0.1, 1/6, 0.2, and 0.3. The lattice constants of a and c-axis were decreased with the increase in Co contents in samples. The thickness of MO2 slab was decreased and inter-slab distance was increased with the increase in Co contents in $LiNi_{0.5-x}Co_{2x}Mn_{0.5-x}O_{2}$. According to XPS analysis, the valence states of Mn, Co, and Ni in the sample are mainly +4, +3, and +3, respectively. The discharge capacity of 202 mAh/g at 0.1C-rate in the potential range of 4.7 - 3.0 V was obtained in $LiNi_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ sample, and $LiNi_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.4}O_2$ gives excellent cycle performance in the same potential range.

The present article is concerned with the overview of the chemically/surface modified cubic spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ as a cathode electrode far lithium ion secondary batteries. Firstly, this article presented a comprehensive survey of the cubic spinel structure and its correlated electrochemical behaviour of $LiMn_2O_4$. Subsequently, the various kinds of the chemically/surface modified $LiMn_2O_4$ and their electrochemical characteristics were discussed in detail. Finally, this article reviewed our recent research works published on the mechanism of lithium transport through the chemically/surface modified $Li_{1-\delta}Mn_2O_4$ electrode from the kinetic view point by the analyses of the experimental potentiostatic current transients and ac-impedance spectra.

Orthorhombic type LiCo$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ O$_2$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.14) oxides have been synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of (Co$_{x}$Mn$_{1-x}$ )$_3$O$_4$precursors and LiOH aqueous solution at 17$0^{\circ}C$. As-synthesized powders showed well-ordered $\beta$-MaMnO$_2$structures, and the products were single crystalline particle oxides from TEM observations. The particle size decreased with increasing the amount of Co substituent. Much more improved capacity upon 100 cyclings was clearly seen in orthorhombic LiCo$_{0.1}$Mn$_{0.9}$O$_2$, comparing to orthorhombic LiMnO$_2$./TEX>.EX>.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the properties of LSGM electrolyte and LSM cathode. The unit cell based on the optimum conditions and processing for high performance was fabricated and measured. The single phase of $LaGaO_3$ was obtained on sintering at $1500^{\circ}$ for 6h with composition of $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}와 (La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$ and $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$. The grain size of the sintered body was about $10∼30{\mu}m$ and electrical conductivity was 0.13 S/cm measured at $800^{\circ}$. The single phase of $LaMnO_3$ structure in $(La1-xSrx)MnO_3$ system was obtained at x=0∼0.2 and the particle size of the synthesized powder was about 40 nm. The unit cell was prepared by firing at $1200^{\circ}$ for 1h with $(La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1})MnO_3$ cathode and 0.9NiO-0.1YSZ anode screen-printed on surfaces of $(La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2})(Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2})O_{3-\delta}$ electrolyte. The grain size of the electrode was close to $1{\mu}m$ and the electrode had porous structure. The maximum power density of unit cell showed $0.3W/cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}$.

Solid oxide electrolytes of 8mol% YSZ($Y_2O_3$ stabilized zirconia) were prepared at various sintering conditions and their ionic conductivities were measured. The highest ionic conductivity of $10^{-1}S.cm^{-1}$ was obtained when the sintering temperature was 1400oC and the sintering time was 10hr. Also the cathode material, $La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3$ was prepared by solid state reaction method and the overpotential, electrical conductivity, and charge transfer resistance between cathode material and YSZ electrolyte were studied. It was found that the optimum doping content of Sr for La was 50mo1%.

Orthorhombic type $LiCo_{x}Mn_{1-x}O_{2}$(0 ${\times}$ 0.14) oxides have been synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of $(Co_{x}Mn_{1-x})_{3}O_{4}$ precursors and LiOH aqueous solution at $170^{\circ}C$. As-synthesized powders showed well-ordered ${\beta}-NaMnO_{2}$ structures, and the products were single crystalline particle oxides from TEM observations. The particle size decreased with increasing the amount of Co substituent. Much more improved capacity upon 100 cyclings was clearly seen in orthorhombic $LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_{2}$, comparing to orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$.

As-synthesized powders showed well-ordered ${\beta}$-$NaMnO_2$ structures, and the products were single crystalline particle oxides from TEM observations. The particle size decreased with increasing the amount of Co substituent. Much more improved capacity upon 100 cyclings was clearly seen in orthorhombic $LiCo_{0.1}Mn_{0.9}O_2$, comparing to orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$.

Al-Zn alloy/$MnO_2$, seawater cell was considered as a primary aqueous cell with an average voltage range from 1.0 to 1.1V, and the electrolyte of seawater was uptaken into the cell. Eventually, the capacity of its usage will be used for long-term. However, the more use of this cell, the higher corrosion phenomenon of the electrode occurred. Due to its corrosion phenomenon, one main default has been observed with gradual decrease during a discharge process. In this research, a common-used active material for anode was $LiNiO_2$. An active material for cathode, $Zn_{X}FeS_2$ was synthesized in high temperature by uptaken a small amount of 1.3 wt% of ZnS into $FeS_2$, one of the transition-metal dichalcogenides in high temperature. Consequently, based on their usages shown above, this secondary aqueous lithium cell could be more developed. This cell was shown as remarkable charge/discharge performance during the charge/discharge processes. This cathode with active material was given a considerable efficiency of inserting $Li^+$ ions. Moreever, in accordance with the characteristic of the crystal structure for $Zn_{x}FeS_2$, a small amount of ZnS was added which made it possible to reduce prominently velocity of corrosion during the charge/discharge cycle. By applying those merits, Al-Zn alloy/$MnO_2$ seawater cell will be used as a fundamental data in order to transform into a secondary aqueous cell.
