摘要
In this paper, we report the synthesis of carbon coated Li(Mn0.35Co0.2Fe0.45)PO4 and discuss the effect of CO2P formation during the carbothermal reduction process, which enhances the electrochemical performance of cathode material for lithium ion batteries. It was observed that Co2P was favorably formed in 5% H-2/Ar than in Ar atmosphere. The conductivity of Li(Mn0.35Co0.2Fe0.45)PO4/C sintered at 600-800 degrees C in 5% H-2/Ar is increased as the temperature is increased. The O K-edge X-ray absorption near edge spectrum (XANES) demonstrates that content of hole carriers is increased in Li(Mn0.35Co0.2Fe0.45)PO4/C as the amount of Co2P increased. We also observed that the capacity of Li(Mn0.35Co0.2Fe0.45)PO4/C is increased with sintering temperature, and it exhibited a maximum capacity of 166 mAh/g at 700 degrees C. It was found that the enhancement in the discharge capacity of sintered Li(Mn0.35Co0.2Fe0.45)PO4/C was as a result of its higher electrical conductivity under 5% H-2/Ar atmosphere as compared with Ar atmosphere.
