- Abstract
Using a citric acid route, precursors have been synthesized and nanocomposites LiFePO4/C have been obtained by means of heat treatment having the particle size ca. 20 nm, specific surface area of more than 60 m2/g and the regulated content of carbon (7.6 to 12.5 wt. %). The properties of materials have been studied by thermal analysis, thermally programmed destruction, porosimetry, electronic microscopy; electrochemical characteristics have been evaluated in potentiodynamic and galvanostatic regimes. The composites obtained have specific capacity up to 134 mAh/g and demonstrate a capability of high rate discharge. In particular, upon loading with the current of 8500 mA/g (50 C), the sample containing 12.5 % of carbon completely recovers its specific capacity. This signifies good prospects for the use of this material in high-rate electrochemical devices.
