Abstract

The cathode materials of nanosiged LiFePO4 were prepared by hydrothermal templating synthesis.The grain sizes and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 were controlled by surfactant.It was shown that the grain sizes varied from less than a hundred to hundreds nanometers by the SEM images.In the charge/discharge tests,the discharge capacities of the sample as a lithium ion battery were achieved to 150 mAh/g at 0.1C,140 mAh/g at 1C,and 126 mAh/g at 2C,with good cycling performance.
