Enhanced Electrochemical Performances of LiFePO₄/C via V and F Co-doping for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Based on the method of in situ polymerization synthesis combined with two-step sinter-ing process, LiFe_1-xV_x(PO₄)_(3-y)/₃F_y/C was prepared. The e ects of V and F co-doping on the structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances of LiFePO₄/C were in-vestigated by X-ray di raction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron mi-croscope, charge/discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicated that the V and F co-doping did not destroy the olivine structure of LiFePO₄/C, but it can stabilize the crystal structure, decrease charge transfer resistance, enhance Li ion di usion velocity, further improve its cycling and high-rate capabilities of LiFePO₄/C.
