The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and chemical analysis. Electrochemical performance of the samples was tested in terms of charge-discharge capacity and cycling behavior. The results indicated that Fe(III) impurity had obvi- ously effect on the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4, and the formation of Fe3+ was caused by the oxidation of Fe2+ in the dissolving and feeding processes accompanying the increase of pH value. It was found that the precipitation separation was effective in decreasing the content of Fe3+ in the solu- tion of FeSO4 and the sealed feeding was useful in preventing the conversion of Fe2+ to Fe3+. When the content of Fe3+ < 0.5 wt%, the hydrothermally synthesized LiFePO4 calcined at 750℃ with sucrose as carbon source exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 154.9 mAh·g-1 at the rate of 0.1 C (1 C = 150 mA·g-1) and the cycling retention rate could reach 98% after 50 cycles at room temperature.展开更多
