Abstract

Optimized LiFePO4 positive electrode for Li-ion batteries was obtained after severe control of the fundamental properties of material. The nanoscopic structure and magnetic properties of a series of carbon-coated LiFePO4 particles prepared under various conditions were analyzed with XRD, FTIR, Raman and SQUID magnetometry. We evaluate intrinsic and extrinsic properties. The existence of low content of nano-sized ferromagnetic particles was evidenced by magnetic measurements in samples grown from iron(II) oxalate; such ferromagnetic clusters do not exist in the optimised samples grown from FePO4(H2O)2. Other impurity phases such as Fe2P, Li3Fe2(PO4)3, FeP2O7 were also detected for particular conditions of preparation. The impact of the carbon coating on the electrochemical properties is reported. Li-ion cells show excellent cyclability after 200 cycles at 60 °C without iron dissolution.
