摘要
Well-crystallized LiFePO4 nanoparticles have been directly synthesized in a short time via hydrothermal process in the presence of organic acid, e.g. citric acid or ascorbic acid. These acid-mediated LiFePO4 products exhibit a phase-pure and nanocrystal nature with size about 50-100 nm Two critical roles that. the organic acid mediator plays in hydrothermal process are recognized and a rational mechanism is explored. After a post carbon-coating treatment at 600 degrees C for 1 h, these mediated LiFePO4 materials show a high electrochemical activity in terms of reversible capacity, cycling stability and rate capability. Particularly, LiFePO4 mediated by ascorbic acid can deliver a capacity of 162 mAh g(-1) at 0.1 C, 154 mAh g(-1) at 1 C, and 122 mAh g(-1) at 5 C. The crystalline structure, particle morphology, and surface microstructure were characterized by high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. respectively. And the electrochemical properties were thoroughly investigated by galvanostatic test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
