Abstract
In this paper, non-stoichiometric LiFexPO4/C (x = 0.965, 0.97, 0.975, 0.98) was prepared by high-temperature solid-phase method combined with spray drying. The effects of regulating Fe/P ratio on the crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical properties of LiFePO4 cathode materials were studied. The structure and morphology of the synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the Fe/P ratio has a great influence on the lattice parameters, micro-stress and degree of antisite defects of LiFePO4 in structure; it also affects the particle size and carbon layer quality in morphology. Therefore, among the four stoichiometric ratios in the experiment, LiFe0.97PO4/C has the most stable crystal structure and the best carbon layer quality, and exhibits the best electrochemical performance, with a discharge capacity of 159.23 mAh/g at a 0.1C rate, a discharge capacity of 122 mAh/g at a 5C rate, and a maximum lithium ion diffusion coefficient of 1.22 × 10−14 cm2 s−1.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal is devoted to the physics, chemistry and materials science of diffusion, mass transport, and reactivity of solids. The major part of each issue is devoted to articles on:
(i) physics and chemistry of defects in solids;
(ii) reactions in and on solids, e.g. intercalation, corrosion, oxidation, sintering;
(iii) ion transport measurements, mechanisms and theory;
(iv) solid state electrochemistry;
(v) ionically-electronically mixed conducting solids.
Related technological applications are also included, provided their characteristics are interpreted in terms of the basic solid state properties.
Review papers and relevant symposium proceedings are welcome.
