High rate performance of LiFePO4 cathode materials co-doped with C and Ti4+ by microwave synthesis
Nanostructured LiFePO4 powder with a narrow particle size (ca. 100 nm) for high rate lithium-ion battery cathode application was obtained by microwave heating and using citric acid as carbon source. The microstructures and morphologies of the synthesized materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope while the electrochemical performances were evaluated by galvanostatic charge–discharge. The carbon coating and Ti4+ could improve the conductivity both between the LiFePO4 particles and the intrinsic electronic conductivity. The LiFePO4 doped with 5% C and 1% Ti4+ resulted in a specific capacity of 114.95 mAh.g-1 and 102.4 mAh.g-1 at discharge rates of 0.3C and 1C, respectively, and the cycle performance is very good.
