Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of LiFe<sub>1-x</sub>Mn<sub>x</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>/C Cathode Material

Abstract

Olivine LiFe1−xMnxPO4/C composites were prepared by high temperature solid phase method using MnO2, NH4H2PO4, Li2CO3, FeC2O4•2H2O, glucose as the starting materials. XRD, SEM and constant-current charging/discharging tests were used to study the structure and electrochemical properties of the material. The result showed that when x=0.2 the material exhibited the optimal electrochemical performance, with a higher specific energy of 484.94 Wh/kg.
