Lithium vanadyl phosphate has seven different crystallographic phases. Among them, α-LiVOPO 4 is chosen because of its relatively high energy density and redox voltage of 3.9 V compared to the other phosphates. In this study, Ti 4+ -doped α-LiV 1−x Ti x OPO 4 (x = 0.00, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, and 0.01) was prepared using a sol-gel method to increase the structure stability and electrochemical performance. The triclinic structure with the space group P-1 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy was conducted to determine the precise state. The shape and size of the particles were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy was performed to confirm the structural behavior during the electrochemical reaction. Electrochemical measurements such as cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge were conducted. α-LiV 1−x Ti x OPO 4 (x = 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, and 0.01) showed structural stability during cycling as well as decreased polarization during charge and discharge with the increased diffusion coefficient of lithium ions. α-LiV 0.995 Ti 0.005 OPO 4 showed the best cycling stability and rate capability among all the samples examined because Ti doping retained its site to prevent structural collapse.
