Monoclinic structure Li3V2−xFex(PO4)3 (0≤ x≤2) solid solutions have been successfully fabricated via a two-step synthesis method.
Trace amounts of acetylene black would play a role of deoxidizer during the sintering process in an inert atmosphere.
V1-site is the preferred position when Fe3+ ions doped into Li3V2(PO4)3 from our structural analysis.
