Abstract

Li2FeSiO4/C cathode material was synthesized using Li₂SiO₃ and FeC₂O₄ as raw materials by solid state method. The structure and morphology of the material were characterized by XRD and SEM. The electrochemical properties of the material were studied by constant-current cyclic testing. The results show that Li₂FeSiO₄/C has a good electrochemical performance. The first discharge capacity of Li₂FeSiO₄/C cathode material at 30oC reached 167 mAhg^-1 when cycled at 10 mAg^-1 between 1.5 and 4.8 V.
