Abstract: LiFePO₄/C cathode material with different carbon sources was synthesized by using a two-step carbothermal reduction method. The structure and electrochemical properties of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and galvano-static charge-discharge method. The effect of different carbon sources on the structure, morphology and its electrochemical properties of the LiFePO₄/C composite materials were investigated. The results showed that the properties of the samples depended on carbon sources, significantly. The sample synthesized by citric acid as carbon source had the best electrochemical performance. The reason of performance difference of the LiFePO₄/C composite materials caused by carbon source was discussed.

Abstract: As a result of the Schiff base condensation the gadolinium macroacyclic and macrobicyclic Schiff base complexes have been synthesized and investigated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Both electron ionization and electron spray Molecular Spectroscopy spectra confirmed the [1:1] proportion of a ligand to metal in gadolinium macrocyclic and mocrobicyclic Schiff base complex samples. The thermogravimetrydifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) indicated the presence of two water molecules in the innersphere of the macrobicyclic complex and confirmed no water coordination of the metal ion in the macroacyclic complex. The temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the EPR spectra enabled the magnetic interactions in the spin system of these compounds to be revealed.
