  • Lithium storage electrodes for rechargeable batteries require mixed electronic-ionic conduction at the particle scale in order to deliver desired energy density and power density characteristics at the device level. Recently, lithium transition metal phosphates of olivine and Nasicon structure type have become of great interest as storage cathodes for rechargeable lithium batteries due to their high energy density, low raw materials cost, environmental friendliness, and safety. However, the transport properties of this family of compounds, and especially the electronic conductivity, have not generally been adequate for practical applications. Recent work in the model olivine LiFePO$_4$, showed that control of cation stoichiometry and aliovalent doping results in electronic conductivity exceeding 10$^{-2}$ S/cm, in contrast to ~10$^{-9}$ S/cm for high purity undoped LiFePO$_4$. The increase in conductivity combined with particle size refinement upon doping allows current rates of >6 A/g to be utilized while retaining a majority of the ion storage capacity. These properties are of much practical interest for high power applications such as hybrid electric vehicles. The defect mechanism controlling electronic conductivity, and understanding of the microscopic mechanism of lithiation and delithiation obtained from combined electrochemical and microanalytical techniques, will be discussed

  • $^7Li$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra have been observed for $LiMPO_4$ (M = Fe, Mn) samples, as a promising cathode material of lithium ion battery. Observed $^7Li$ shifts of $LiFe_{1-x}Mn_xPO_4$ (x = 0, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) synthesized with solid-state reaction are compared with calculated $^7Li$ shift ranges based on the supertranferred hyperfine interaction of Li-O-M. Ex situ $^7Li$ NMR study of $LiFe_{0.4}Mn_{0.6}PO_4$ in different cut-off voltage for the first charge process is also performed to understand the relationship between $^7Li$ chemical shift and oxidation state of metals affected by delithiation process. The increment of oxidation state for metals makes to downfield shift of $^7Li$ by influencing the supertranferred hyperfine interaction.

  • Recently, lithium transition metal phosphates with an ordered olivine-type structure, $LiMPO_4$ (M=Fe, Mn, Ni, and Co), have attracted extensive attention due to a high theoretical specific capacity (170 mAh/g). The $LiMPO_4$ is the most attractive because of its high stability, low cost, high compatibility with environment. However, it is difficult to attain its full capacity because its electronic conductivity is very low, and diffusion of Li-ion in the olivine structure is slow and the supervalue cation doping was used. In this research, we are used the supervalue cation doping methode such as Cu, Ti, and Mg were partially replace the Fe. The cycling performance resulted of the used $LiM_xFe_{1_x}PO_4$ cathode materials for lithium batteries exhibit excellent high capacity than $LiFePO_4$/Li cells.

  • The electrochemical activity of the olivine type $LiMPO_4$ (M=transition metals) cathodes strongly depends on various factors, e.g., the transition metal element M, perturbative doping of the supervalent cations into Li site, composite formation with conductive additives, state of charge/discharge, and particle size and its geometries, etc. This is, therefore, an important issue of interdisciplinary between electrochemistry and solid state science towards practical applications. In order to shed light on this interesting but complicated issue with the transport properties and crystallographic aspects, systematic discussion will be made with the review of our recent publications; (1) first principle derivation of the electronic structures, (2) crystallographic mapping of the selected solid solutions, (3) quantitative elucidation of the electron-lattice interaction, (4) spectroscopic detection of the local environment with Mossbauer and EXAFS, (5) synthetic optimization of the electrode composite, and (6) electrochemical evaluation of the reaction kinetics, particularly on M = Fe, Mn.

  • In this study, we analyzed the volcanic rock and scoria samples taken from special sites of Jeju island in two ways at the room temperature. One is the analysis of the chemical composition using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the other is the analysis of minerals in the samples, oxidized iron's genus, valence state and magnetic properties using X-ray diffractometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy. We believe that the volcanic rock and scoria samples are chiefly made of silicate minerals, like SiO$_2$, and they also have olivine, pyroxene, ilmenite, hematite and magnetite. The major Fe fractions of the volcanic rock samples are 2+ charge state and those of the scoria samples are 3+ charge state.

  • Geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions and K-Ar ages are analyzed in volcanic rocks from Weno Island, Caroline Islands. Seven Weno lava samples of alkali basalt and basaltic trachyandesite are aphyric or sparsely phyric comprising olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene phenocrysts. Whole-rock geochemical variation of Weno lavas reflects main fractional crystallization of olivine and Cr-spinel phenocrysts. Newly determined K-Ar ages of Weno lavas range from 6.7 to 11.3 Ma (late Miocene), indicating their formation during primary volcanic stage of Chuuk Islands. Trace element compositions of Weno lavas are very similar to those of typical ocean island basalts (OIBs), suggesting their formation during intra-plate mantle plume activity. The plume composition is isotopically very similar to that of Hawaiian hot spot. However, the age span of Chuuk volcanism is longer than that of the other individual volcanoes in the Pacific.
