LiFePO4/C is synthesized via sol-gel method using Fe3+ as iron sources and complexing agents, followed by sintering at high temperature for crystallization. The amount of carbon in these composites is less than 6.8 wt.% and the XRD experiment confirms that all samples are pure single phase indexed with orthorhombic Pnma space group. The particle size of the LiFePO4/C synthesized by acetic acid as complexing agent is drastically fine with 200nm. The electrochemical performance of this material, including reversible capacity, cycle number and charge-discharge characteristics, exhibits better.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
