Abstract

The heterostructure LiVOPO4-Li2.72Ti2(PO4)3 (LVOP-LTP) was synthesized using a hydrothermal process combined with a high-temperature solid-phase method. The electron microscopic analysis demonstrates that the sample has a heterojunction. The electrochemical performance tests reveal that the heterostructure LVOP-LTP has initial discharge-specific capacity of 88.4 mAh/g at 100 mA g−1, which is superior to the single-phase LiVOPO4 (LVOP, 25.1 mAh/g) and Li2.72Ti2(PO4)3 (LTP, 37.1 mAh/g). The improved electrochemical performance of heterostructure LVOP-LTP can be ascribed to the introduction of lithium superionic conductor (LISICON) and the formation of a heterojunction, which increases the lithium-ion pervasion channels and accelerates the lithium-ion transmission speed.
