Abstract

Lithium-ion battery cathode material LiFePO4 particles were synthesized by sol-gel method. The impact of pH value on morphology and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 particles have been investigated. Results show that as pH value increased, the particle sizes of LiFePO4 are reduced, and its particle sizes distribution are narrowed. The LiFePO4 particles synthesized with a high pH value contains hierarchically organized pores, yielding a high discharge capacity of 129.02 mAh/g at 0.2 C and a stable capacity retention of 91.71% until 20 electrochemical cycles.
