The effect of Fe doping on the crystallinity and electrochemical performance of LiFexMnt xPOJC was investigated. The experimental results show that the Fe2+ substitution for Mn2+ will lead to crystal lattice shrinkage of LiFe Mn1-xPO4/C particles due to the smaller ionic radii of Fe2+ In the investigated Fe doping range (x = 0 to 0.7), LiFe Mn1-xPO4/C (x = 0.4) composites exhibited a maximum discharge capacity of 148.8 mAh/g at 0.1 C while LiF%MnI_xPO4/C (x = 0.7) composite showed the best cycle capability with a capacity retention ratio of 99.0% after 30 cycles at 0.2 C. On the contrary, the LiFe Mnl-xPO4/ C (x = 0.5) composite performed better trade-off on discharge capacity and capacity retention ratio, 127.2 mAh/ g and 94.7% after the first 30 cycles at 0.2 C, respectively, which is more preferred for practical applications.展开更多
