Abstract

We have successfully synthesized Li2CoxMn1-xSiO4/C (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1)/C composites using hydrothermal assisted sol-gel process and ball-milling method. The results of X-ray diffraction show that the solid solutions of Li2CoxMn1-xSiO4 can be achieved when x≤0.3. The initial capacities increase from 70 mAhg-1??? of Li2MnSiO4/C to 105 mAhg-1??? of Li2Co0.3Mn0.7SiO4/C. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) curves show that the replacement of Mn with Co can reduce the electrochemical polarization, making the insertion-extraction reaction of Li+ much easier. EIS results also prove that Co can decrease the charge transfer impedance of the materials.
