Abstract

Abstract:

Lithium vanadium phosphate(Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃)/reduced graphene oxide(rGO) composite has been successfully synthesized by incorporating melamine resin(MR) functionalized GO precursor into the Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ solution and the subsequent heat treatment. The structural and electrochemical properties of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/rGO were characterized. The results show that Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/rGO composite has monoclinic system, restacking of graphene layers and agglomeration of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ particles have been greatly inhibited, electrochemical performance of the composite has been improved. The as-obtained Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/rGO was used as the cathode material in lithium ion batteries. The very low degree of polarization in the curve shows that electron and ion transports are facile, thus good rate and cycle behavior are observed. A considerably high lithiation capacity of 86 mA·h/g can be retained even at 20 C in the range of 3.0~4.3 V. After 100 cycles at 0.1 C, a discharge capacity of 119.7 mA·h/g could be delivered with the capacity retention of 94%. When the cells are operated between the voltage limits of 3.0~4.8 V vs.Li⁺/Li, a lithiation capacity of 80 mA·h/g at 10 C and 145.6 mA·h/g at 0.1 C after 100 cycles could be retained. Good cycling and rate performances, together with low carbon content, will be satisfactory for use as cathode material in lithium ion batteries.

Key words: lithium vanadium phosphate, graphene, electrode material, electrochemical performance
