OPEN ACCESS

Abstract: 

The Ti doped LiFePO4 samples, i.e., LiFe1-xTixPO4 (X=0.01, 0.03 and 0.05), were prepared by a modified solid state method. The obtained samples were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). XRD patterns indicated that an olivine-type LiFePO4 was fabricated, and SEM images revealed that the particle size of LiFe0.99Ti0.01PO4 was the smallest among the obtained samples. The charge-discharge curves showed that LiFe0.99Ti0.01PO4 delivered the discharge capacity of 153.5 mAh/g at 0.2 C, the largest one among the as-prepared samples, which is rather different from the published report that LiFe0.97Ti0.03PO4 manifested the most promising cycling performance among the samples of LiFe1-xTixPO4 (X=0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09).
