Preparation and electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/C nanoparticles using different organic carbon sources
Source abstract
Abstract
Uniform LiFePO4/C particles were prepared by a fast, facile, and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted low-heating solid-state reaction using different organic carbon sources. The particles are very uniform and are 50–80 nm in size. The effects of the carbon sources on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/C nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the LiFePO4/C nanoparticles prepared from citric acid as carbon source, which has good crystallinity and a narrow particle size distribution, provided an initial discharge capacity of 112 mAh g−1 at 0.5 C with excellent capacity retention. These advantages, coupled with the simple and effective preparation method, render LiFePO4/C nanoparticles attractive for practical and large-scale applications.
