摘要
Y-doped LiVPO4F cathode materials were prepared by a carbothermal reduction(CTR) process. The properties of the Y-doped LiVPO4F samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical measurements. XRD studies show that the Y-doped LiVPO4F samples have the same triclinic structure as the undoped LiVPO4F. The Li extraction/insertion performances of Y-doped LiVPO4F samples were investigated through charge/discharge, cyclic voltammogram (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS). The optimal doping content of Y is x=0.04 in LiY x V1−x PO4F system. The Y-doped LiVPO4F samples show a better cyclic ability. The electrode reaction reversibility is enhanced, and the charge transfer resistance is decreased through the Y-doping. The improved electrochemical performances of the Y-doped LiVPO4F cathode materials are attributed to the addition of Y3+ ion by stabilizing the triclinic structure.
