Abstract

LiFePO 4 is a potential candidate for the cathode material of the lithium secondary batteries. Co-precipitation method and microwave heating were adopted to study about LiFePO 4. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, particle-size analysis, ICP composition analysis and electrochemical methods. Olivine phase LiFePO 4 was successfully synthesized in a few minutes. The specific capacity, cycle property and rate capability were impressive as compared with previous reports. The microwave heating method using activated carbon is a very simple and useful tool to control the iron oxidation state to 2+ without reductive gas flow.
