Characteristics and electrochemical performance of LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4/C used as cathode for aqueous rechargeable lithium battery

Electrochemical performance of microdisc-shaped carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate with preferentially exposed (010) planes in lithium sulfate aqueous solution

“…7b is the cycling data of the composite at various charging and discharging rates from 0.25 to 25 C. It can be seen that the capacity retention is more than 90% after 70 cycles at different charging and discharging rates. The MD-LFP/C exhibited a good cyclability and high reversible capacity in the aqueous solution compared to previous reports [29][30][31][32], and could be attributed to more (0 1 0) planes exposed and uniform carbon layer coated on the surface of the particles. …”

“…We can evaluate the reversibility of reaction from the peak potential difference. The result shows that Li + insertion/de-insertion in the MD-LFP/C is a one step process [24] and of better reversibility [29,32] in aqueous electrolytes.…”

“…As one of the promising cathode materials for aqueous rechargeable Li-ion battery, LiFePO 4 has been investigated in various aqueous electrolytes with different methods by many research groups [18,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of flower-like LiMnPO4nanostructures self-assembled with (010) nanosheets and their application in Li-ion batteries

“…In order to obtain high electrochemical performance, various methods [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have been used to synthesize phosphate-based cathode nanomaterials, including solid state reaction, hydrothermal route, spray drying method, sol-gel method and polyol synthesis method. Among those methods, hydrothermal route is an aqueous-based precipitation technique allowing to control over the nucleation and growth of crystals 16 .…”

An additional discharge plateau of Mn3+ in LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 at high current rates

“…Previous reports indicated that mixed-cation olivine material LiFe x Mn (1 − x) PO 4 combined the good rate capability of LiFePO 4 and high potential of LiMnPO 4 [3,4]. For this reason, the series of LiFe x Mn( 1 − x )PO 4 materials, especially LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4, has attracted a great deal of attention [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Commonly, LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 is considered to exhibit two pairs of plateaus in charge/discharge curves associated with MnPO 4 /LiMnPO 4 and FePO 4 /LiFePO 4 phase transformation.…”
