$LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y = 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method after mechanical mixing, and their_electrochemical properties were investigated. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y=0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) samples had the R3m structure. The sample with y = 0.025 showed the largest first discharge capacity (131.4 mAh/g) and good cycling performance [discharge capacity 117.5 mAh/g ($89.4{\%}$ of the first discharge capacity) at the 20th cycle]. The first discharge capacity decreased as the value of y increased. The samples with y = 0.010 and y = 0.005 had small R-factor but their cycling performance was worse than that of the sample with y = 0.025. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ samples had smaller discharge capacities than $LiNiO_2$, but their cycling performances were better than that of $LiNiO_2$.
