The sample had ordered olivine-type structure other impurities characterized by the test of X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The charge-discharge test showed the sample could demonstrate 120.5 mAh/g at 0.2C rate with good cyclic capability. The powder microeleetrode cyclic voltammetry test indicated that the redox process of the sample had good reversibility.展开更多

The effects of pH, flow rate, temperature, and pressure on the formation of LiFePO4/C particles were investigated. Results showed that the pH value was the key factot on the formation of phase pure LiFePO4, which only formed at pH = 7; the LiFePO4/C-occurred as particles with about 70-200 nm size and LiFePO4 was covered by a thin carbon layer; higher flow rate, higher pressure, and lower temperature led to smaller particles of LiFePO4/C.展开更多

The effects of V and F co-doping on the structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances of LiFePO4/C were in- vestigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron mi- croscope, charge/discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicated that the V and F co-doping did not destroy the olivine structure of LiFePO4/C, but it can stabilize the crystal structure, decrease charge transfer resistance, enhance Li ion diffusion velocity, further improve its cycling and high-rate capabilities of LiFePO4/C.展开更多

The glucose was added as conductive precursors before the formation of the crystalline phase. The effects of glucose content on the properties of as-synthesized cathode materials were investigated. The crystal structure and the electrochemical performance were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, laser particle-size distribution measurement and electrochemical performance testing. The material has a single crystal olivine structure with grain-sizes ca. 100-200 nm. SEM micrographs and the corresponding energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） data confirm that the carbon particulates produced by glucose pyrogenation are uniformly dispersed among the LiFePO4 grains, ensuring a good electronic contact. Impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the ohmic and kinetic contributions to the cell performance. It is found that increasing the carbon content leads to a reduction of the cell impedance due to the reduction of the charge transfer resistance. The galvanostatically charge and discharge tests show that the material obtained by adding 10% C （by mass） gives a maximum discharge capacity of 140.8mA·h·g^-1 at the same rate （C/10）. The material also displays a more stable cycle-life than the others.展开更多
The influence of sintering temperature, carbon content and dispersive agent in bail-milling was investigated on the properties of LiFePO4/C prepared using Fe2O3, NH4H2PO4, Li2CO3 and glucose via solid state reaction. ...The influence of sintering temperature, carbon content and dispersive agent in bail-milling was investigated on the properties of LiFePO4/C prepared using Fe2O3, NH4H2PO4, Li2CO3 and glucose via solid state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and charge-discharge test were applied to the characterization of the LiFePO4/C samples synthesized under different conditions. Sintering temperature affects the crystallite/ particle size and degree ofcrystallinity of LiFePO4, formation of Fe2P and maintenance of carbon in LiFePO4/C. Car- bon maintenance is favored by low sintering temperature, and 700 ℃ is optimum for synthesis of LiFePO4/C with superior electrochemical performance. A higher carbon content in the range of 4.48%-11.03% results in a better rate capability for LiFePO4/C. The dispersive agent used in ball-milling impacts the existent state of carbon in the final product which subsequently determines its charge-discharge behavior. The sample prepared at 700 ℃ by using acetone as the dispersive agent in ball-milling exhibits an excellent rate capability and capacity retention without any fade at 0.1 C, 1C and 2C, with corresponding average discharge capacities of 153.8, 128.3 and 121.0 mA·h·g-1. rest2ectivelv, in the first 50 cvcles.展开更多
