β¦ Synopsis
LiFePO 4 /(Ag + C) composite cathodes with a new type of nano-sized carbon webs were synthesized by two methods of an aqueous coprecipitation and a sol-gel process, respectively. Simultaneous thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis indicates that the crystallization temperature of LiFePO 4 is about 455-466 Β°C, which is close to the pyrolysis temperature of polypropylene, 460 Β°C. The silver and carbon comodifying does not affect the olivine structure of LiFePO 4 but improves its kinetics in terms of discharge capacity and rate capability. Discharge capacities were improved from 153.4 mA h g -1 of LiFePO 4 /C to 160.5 mA h g -1 and 162.1 mA h g -1 for LiFePO 4 /(Ag + C) cathodes synthesized by the co-precipitation and sol-gel methods, respectively. The possible reasons for the small difference in discharge capacity of two LiFePO 4 /(Ag + C) cathodes were discussed. AC impedance measurements show that the Ag + C co-modification decreases the charge transfer resistance of LiFePO 4 / (Ag + C) cathodes.
