Electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/C composites obtained by ultrasound assisted synthesis at different calcination temperatures

Abstract

Olivine structure LiFePO4/C composite powders were prepared by combining sonochemical precipitation and calcination at three different temperatures. A polyvinyl alcohol solution was used as the source of an in situ formed carbon. The crystal structures of the powders were revealed by X-ray powder diffraction. Electrochemical properties of the powders calcined at different temperatures were discussed. It was shown that optimal electrochemical performance may be attained by using both slightly reductive atmosphere and moderate temperature of 600 °C.Physical chemistry 2008 : 9th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 24-28 September 200
