Electrochemical performances of the material as cathode in lithium-ion battery were investigated at medium and elevated temperature (30 and 55 ℃) by galvanostatic charge-discharge and A.C. impedance tests. The results show that carbon coated LiFePO4 powder exhibits a well-crystallized olivine structure and spherical morphology with an average particle size of about 500 nm. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests show that the reversible discharge capacity at 1 C and 1.5 C rates was improved from 121 and 105 mAh·g-1 at 30 ℃ to 136 and 123 mAh·g-1 at 55℃, respectively, while the enhancement of high temperature on electrochemical performance is less obvious at a rate lower than 0.5 C. Impedance spectra analyses indicate that the cathode material has a remarkably higher lithium-ion diffusivity at 55 ℃ than that at 30 ℃, which improves the electrochemical performance at high temperature.展开更多

The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, sc anning electron microscopy and so on. Results showed that hydrothermal product w ere of pure olive-type phase with a relatively smaller particle size and regular er morphology compared with the products prepared by solid-state reaction and ba ll milling activation approaches. Charge/discharge curves at 0.5 C rate revealed that the hydrothermal products had a first discharge capacity of 124 mAh·g-1, and the capacity fading rate was only 10.7% after 50 cycles.展开更多

In this paper, six LiFePO4 nanocrystals with different size and shape have been successfully synthesized in ethylene glycol. The addition sequence Fe-PO4-Li helps to form LiFePO4 nanocrystals with mostly {010} faces exposed, and increasing the amount of LiOH leads to a decrease in particle size. The electrochemical performance of the six distinct LiFePO4 particles show that the most promising LiFePO4 nanocrystals either have predominant {010} face exposure or high specific area, with little iron（II） oxidation.展开更多
