Abstract
Surface modified Li3V2(PO4)3/C materials have been prepared by coating with AlF3 and Al2O3 via a conventional precipitation method. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the surface modification does not affect to the bulk structure of Li3V2(PO4)3. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and field emission transmission electron microscopy show that an amorphous carbon layer and particles of AlF3 and Al2O3 are coated on the surface of Li3V2(PO4)3 particles. Both AlF3- and Al2O3-coated materials exhibit better cycling performance than the uncoated Li3V2(PO4)3/C between 3.0 and 4.8V. The capacity retention rates of LVP/C, LVP/C-AlF3, and LVP/C-Al2O3 after 50cycles at 0.2C are 76.12, 85.39, and 84.99%, respectively.
