Abstract
The Li3V2(PO4)3/C (LVP/C) cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries were synthesized via ethylene glycol-assisted solvothermal method. The phase composition, phase transition temperature, morphology, and fined microstructure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analyzer (DTA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The electrochemical properties, impedance, and electrical conductivity of LVP/C cathode materials were tested by channel battery analyzer, the electrochemical workstation, and the Hall test system, respectively. The results shown that the appropriate amount of water added to ethylene glycol solvent contributes to the synthesis of pure phase LVP. The LVP10/C cathode material can exhibit discharge capacities of 128, 126, 126, 123, 124, and 114 mAh g−1 at 0.1, 0.5, 2, 5, 10, and 20 C in the voltage range of 3.0–4.3 V, respectively. Meanwhile, it shows also a stable cycling performance with the capacity retention of 89.6% after 180 cycles at 20 C.
