摘要: 采用溶胶-凝胶法合成了高电位正极材料LiCoPO4, 并通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)以及充放电测试考察了不同烧结条件下产物的晶体结构、微观形貌以及电化学性能. 实验结果表明: 在650 °C下烧结12 h所制备的样品为单一橄榄石型结构的LiCoPO4, 产物颗粒细小(0.2-0.4 μm)且分布均匀, 同时具有最佳的电化学性能, 其在1C倍率下的放电比容量可达到122.7 mAh·g-1. 此外, 产物在充放电过程中均呈现两个电压平台, 且随着放电倍率的增加, 两个电压平台之间的区分逐渐明显, 分析认为, 这与充放电过程中锂离子的两步脱嵌行为有关.

Abstract: High potential cathode material LiCoPO4 was synthesized by sol-gel method. The effects of different sintering conditions on the crystal structure, surface morphology and electrochemical performance of LiCoPO4 were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and charge-discharge tests. The results show that the sample synthesized at 650 ° C for 12 h has a good crystalline orthorhombic olivine-type structure and a uniform particle distribution (0.2-0.4 μm), which delivers the best electrochemical performance. The discharge capacity of the sample at 1C rate can reach 122.7 mAh·g-1. Moreover, from the charge and discharge profiles, two charge/discharge plateaus are presented and they become more obvious with the increase of charge/discharge rate. This phenomenon can be interpreted by considering the two-step extraction/insertion behavior of Li+ in LiCoPO4.
