摘要
A LiFePO4/(C+Fe2P) composite cathode material was prepared by a sol-gel method using Fe(NO3)3路9H2O, LiAc路H2O, NH4H2PO4 and citric acid as raw materials, and the physical properties and electrochemical performance of the composite cathode material were investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical tests. The Fe2P content, morphology and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/(C+Fe2P) composite depend on the calcination temperature. The optimized LiFePO4/(C+Fe2P) composite is prepared at 650 掳C and the optimized composite exhibits sphere-like morphology with porous structure and Fe2P content of about 3.2%(mass fraction). The discharge capacity of the optimized LiFePO4/(C+Fe2P) at 0.1C is 156 and 161 mA路h/g at 25 and 55 掳C, respectively, and the corresponding capacity retentions are 96%after 30 cycles; while the capacity at 1C is 142 and 149 mA路h/g at 25 and 55 掳C, respectively, and the capacity still remains 135 and 142 mA路h/g after 30 cycles at 25 and 55 掳C, respectively.
