Physical and Electrochemical Properties of Doped LiFePO4 as Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteri

LiFePO4 cathode material was synthesized by a solid-state reaction using doping several elements (Nb5 + ,Zr4 + ). The starting materials were mixed with a high-efficient sander and treated thermally under flowing N2. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission gun electron microscopy (FEG), and their electrochemical performance was investigated in the term of cycling behavior. Room temperature discharge capacity about 140.6 mA·h·g-1 was obtained at C/5 rate.
