The Study of Theoretic Coated Carbon Amount and Excess Lithium in LiFePO4/C Synthesis by Means of Carbon Thermal Reduction Route

Article Preview

Abstract:

LiFePO4/C(LFP/C) composite cathode material was synthesized by carbon thermal reduction route with the sucrose as reducing agent and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Some parameters were optimized by means of determining the amount of sucrose and Li2CO3. The electrochemical performances were also tested through assembling batteries. The experimental results demonstrated that the proper theoretic coated carbon amount was 11.4% and 4.21% respectively, and the proper lithium usage is the normal stoichiometric proportion, namely, the lithium amount is not excess.
