Abstract
The electrochemical properties of Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) cathode of lithium ion batteries are often improved by ion doping. Nevertheless, the mechanism of ion doping has not been fully understood. Here, Ti4+ has been chosen as a typical dopant with similar atomic radius to the 6-coordinated V3+. A series of Li3TixV(2-x)(PO4)3/C samples are successfully synthesized by a sol-gel route. The 7Li MAS NMR spectra of the LTxVP/C demonstrate that the doping of Ti4+ can enhance the mobility of Li ions. The results of electrochemical properties tests show that moderate Ti4+ doping is able to improve the high rate capability of the materials by increasing the electronic conductivity and Li-ion diffusion coefficient. The optimal sample (LT0.08VP/C) exhibits the best cycling behavior and rate capability, which can deliver 110.85 mAh/g and capacity retention of 99.36% at 10 C after 100 cycles. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicate that LT0.08VP/C possesses the minimum charge transfer resistance. The calcul...
