Double Carbon Coating of LiFePO₄ as High Rate Electrode for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Abstract

Micrometer-size LiFePO4 spheres with homogeneous double carbon coating layers have been prepared as potential electrode materials for battery applications. The double carbon-coated LiFePO4 electrodes in a lithium-ion cell exhibited discharge capacities of the order of 160 mAh g−1 and 115 mAh g−1 at 25 °C under 0.1 C-rate and 10 C-rate, respectively.
