Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of LiZr2(PO4)3

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lithium dizirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3) possesses good ionic conductivity owing to its unique framework structure and can be used as favorable anode material in Li-ion battery. LiZr2(PO4)3 is commonly prepared by solid phase reaction in which higher temperature is needed and pure LiZr2(PO4)3 without other phases is difficult to obtain in the final products. In this paper, low cost hydrothermal synthesis of pure (LiZr2(PO4)3) was studied. Effects of the hydrothermal conditions (molar ratios of Li+ to ZrOCl2, addition of HF, pH values of reaction system and hydrothermal temperatures) on the phase composition of the products were investigated. The results showed that pure LiZr2(PO4)3 was successfully prepared at lower temperature of 80°C for 24h with the addition of HF when the pH value was adjusted to 5.0 and the molar ratio of Li+ to ZrOCl2 was 0.5 with the concentration of ZrOCl2 as 0.6mol/L. The phases and purity of the final products were characterized by XRD analysis.
