Abstract

Carbon coated lithium iron phosphates were prepared by a carbon aerogel synthesis process, through which LiFePO₄ particles were embedded in amorphous carbon. The carbon coating effect can significantly enhance the electronic conductivity of LiFePO₄. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared LiFePO₄ cathode materials were systematically characterised. The carbon coated LiFePO₄ cathode demonstrated a high capacity and stable cyclability.
