Abstract
AbstractThe performances of pure phase LiVPO4F/C is poor. AlF3 is selected to dope it, which is synthesized by a novel chemical reduction. Alveolate structure is discovered in undoped sample because of the volatilization of fluoride. The selected area electron diffraction proves that it is composed of Li3V2(PO4)3 and LiVPO4F. However, the alveolate disappears in doped sample with pure parallelogram pattern because AlF3 supplements the loss of fluorine. Doping of Al3+ decreases the lattice parameters and stabilizes the crystallite. Therefore, the performances of LiV1‐xAlxPO4F/C at different temperatures are significantly improved. LiV0.97Al0.03PO4F/C delivers high capacity of 116.6 mAh g−1 and excellent capacity retention of 96.83 % at 5 C after 50 cycles. The 5 C capacities at −10 °C and 55 °C are 90.1 mAh g−1 and 121.4 mAh g−1. Ex‐situ X‐ray diffraction reveals that the lattice of LiV0.97Al0.03PO4F/C can maintain stability after extreme testing conditions. These are ascribed to the improvement in intrinsic conductivity and diffuse coefficient. It implies that AlF3 plays dual functions in the doping process.
