Abstract:

LiCu_xMn_1-xPO₄/C nanorods are successfully prepared by a simple solvothermal process followed by calcination of the precursor LiCu_xMn_1-xPO₄ and sucrose. The effects of dopant and carbon coating on the physical and chemical characteristics of LiMnPO₄ are investigated. The results show that Cu successfully entered into the lattice of LiMnPO₄, and induced a decrease in the lattice parameters. A thin layer of carbon coating with an average thickness of 20 nm is formed on the surface of LiCu_xMn_1-xPO₄ particle. We also observe that the LiCu_xMn_1-xPO₄/C nanorods have higher electronic conductivity (5.5139×10^-4S cm^-1) and initial discharge capacity (87.5 mAh g^-1 at 0.5C) compared with pristine LiMnPO₄. Based on the results above, the developed nanocomposites could have potential applications in lithium-ion batteries.
