Investigations on the synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiVPO4F/C by different methods

LiVPO4F/C samples were synthesized by one-step solid-state reaction and two-step solid-state reaction methods,respectively.The structure and morphology of LiVPO4F /C samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Electrochemical performances were characterized by charge/discharge,cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance measurements.XRD results show that the LiVPO4F/C sample prepared by one-step solid-state reaction method had the same triclinic structure (space group) as that synthesized by conventional two-step solid-state reaction.SEM image exhibits that the particle size of LiVPO4F /C prepared by one-step solid-state reaction method is smaller than that synthesized by two-step solid-state reaction.LiVPO4F/C with smaller grain size shows better performances in terms of the discharge capacity and cycle stability.The improved electrochemical properties of the LiVPO4F /C are attributed to the depressed grain size and enhanced electrical conductivity produced via one-step solid-state reaction method using oxalic acid as both reduction agent and carbon sources.AC impedance measurements also show that the LiVPO4F/C synthesized by one-step solid-state reaction route significantly decreased the charge-transfer resistance.
