In this study, it is aimed to develop LiMn_2O_4/MWCNT nanocomposite cathode materials by using different calcination temperatures (300, 500, 700°C). The aim of using MWCNTs in the active material is to overcome poor conductivity and to increase stability of the electrodes during charging and discharging. The nanocomposites were produced by sol-gel method, which allows producing very fine particle size of LiMn_2O_4. LiMn_2O_4 and LiMn_2O_4/MWCNT were uniformly coated on an Al-foil to obtain 500 μm thicknesses with a specific amount of binder and conducting agent. The surfaces of cathodes were coated with ZnO by using magnetron sputtering PVD with a thickness of 10 nm. Coin-type (CR2016) test cells were assembled, directly using the LiMn_2O_4/MWCNTs and surface coated LiMn_2O_4/MWCNTs as anode and a lithium metal foil as the counter electrode.

In this work, the effect of rf power on the structural, electrical and electrochemical properties of ZnO thin films was investigated. ZnO thin films were deposited on glass and Cr coated stainless steel substrates by rf magnetron sputtering in pure Ar gas environment. ZnO thin films for different rf powers (75, 100, and 125 W) were deposited keeping all other deposition parameters fixed. ZnO thin films were used as negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, whose charge-discharge properties, cyclic voltammetry and cycle performance were examined. A high initial discharge capacity about 908 mAh g^{-1} was observed at a 0.5 C rate between 0.05 and 2.5 V. The crystallographic structure of the sample was determined by X-ray diffraction. The electrical resistivity of the deposited films was measured by the four-point-probe method. The thickness of the ZnO thin films was measured using a profilometer.

SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ nano fillers were added to an electrolyte composed of a solution 1 M LiPF₆ in tetra ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) and the effects of these nano powders on capacity and cycling performances were investigated. Galvanostatic charge/discharge (GC) measurements were performed in the assembled Li-air cells by using the nanocomposite electrolytes. The discharge capacities of these cells were cyclically tested by a battery tester at a constant current in the voltage range between 2.15 V and 4.25 V. Discharge products of nanocomposite electrolytes were characterized by SEM and XRD spectroscopies. The electrochemical results demonstrated that Al₂O₃ reinforced electrolyte showed higher discharge capacity and cyclability than those of SiO₂ reinforced electrolyte.

In this study, LiCr_{0.2}V_{0.4}Mn_{1.4}O₄ cathode active electrode materials were produced via a facile sol-gel method at 800°C. The surfaces of the LiCr_{0.2}V_{0.4}Mn_{1.4}O₄ cathode active electrode materials were then coated with Cu in order to increase the conductivity and suppress the manganese ion dissolution into the electrolyte. The structure and electrochemical properties of the obtained Cr and V substituted LiMn₂O₄ powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge- discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The improvement in the cycling performances attributed to stabilization of spinel structure by bication ion substation and Cu coating on the spinel particles. EIS analysis confirmed that bication doping and conductive Cu coating contributed stability of the spinel electrodes and provided stable electrolyte/electrode interface due to the suppression of electrolyte decomposition

Electrolytes based on organic carbonate solvents of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were prepared by using LiPF₆ as the Li-source. Nano sized Al₂O₃ (50 nm) was used as a reinforcing component in order to control corrosion and Li₂CO₃ formation. Corrosion of the Li foil anode and electrochemical tests were performed by using EC/DEC/LiPF₆ and nanocomposite EC/DEC/LiPF₆/5wt.% Al₂O₃ electrolytes. Electrochemical tests were performed in the swagelok cells by using Li foil anode and carbon air cathode electrodes. Structural tests were carried out by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Results revealed that incorporation of nano Al₂O₃ leads to a decrease of corrosion rate of Li anode and a small decrease in the capacity of the air cells.
