Pristine LFP and ZnO-doped LFP/C samples have been synthesized using sol-gel assisted ball milling route. Electronic conductivity of pristine LFP increases to 102-103 orders of magnitude for ZnO doped LFP/C samples. AFM results indicate the presence of more volumetric charge density at the surface for ZnO-doped LFP/C sample. LFPZ2.5 shows best cycling and rate performances among all the prepared samples. Lithium ion diffusion coefficient increases significantly.
