Synthesis Of The Lifepo_4 By Co Reduction:Reaction Mechanism And Kinetics, Yun-Hua Chen, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

LiFePO4 cathode material was synthesized by CO reducing FePO4 and LiOH precursors.The structure,morphology and electrochemical performances of such LiFePO4 material were characterized by XRD,SEM and charge-discharge tests.It was shown that the particle size of the LiFePO4 synthesized with 5% excess of LiOH in the precursor was about 200 nm.By carbon coating,the LiFePO4 electrode was able to deliver a reversible capacity of 158 mAh·g-1 at 0.1C discharge rate.Temperature-programmed X-ray diffraction was employed to monitor the reaction during the formation of LiFePO4,and Li3Fe2(PO4)3 was found to be an intermediate by analyzing the time-resolved XRD patterns.Kinetic study indicates that nucleation and their growth …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The cathode materials of nanosiged LiFePO4 were prepared by hydrothermal templating synthesis.The grain sizes and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 were controlled by surfactant.It was shown that the grain sizes varied from less than a hundred to hundreds nanometers by the SEM images.In the charge/discharge tests,the discharge capacities of the sample as a lithium ion battery were achieved to 150 mAh/g at 0.1C,140 mAh/g at 1C,and 126 mAh/g at 2C,with good cycling performance.

Journal of Electrochemistry

LiFePO4 and LiFePO4 doped with Cu2+ ions were synthesized by solid-state reactions.The structure of LiFePO4 and the Fe valence were analyzed by the XRD(X-ray diffraction) and XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) respectively.The Cu doping position in LiFePO4 is discussed.It has found that the volume of LiFePO4 by doping Cu2+ ions is reduced.The minim Cu2+ ions doping does not almost change the binding energy of Fe2p1/2 in LiFePO4.According to the experiment results,we conclude that most of the Cu2+ ions substitute the Fe2+ ions in LiFePO4 when a small amount of Cu2+ ions doping is occurred.
