Abstract The need for energy storage is increasing rapidly along with technological development. Lithium ion batteries are one of the energy storages that are in great demand due to their high specific capacity and energy density, discharge voltage of 3.4 volts, and environmental friendliness. LiFePO 4 is a lithium-ion battery cathode material with a high specific capacity of 170 mAh/g and a discharge voltage of about 3.4 V, thermal stability, high energy density, environmentally friendly, and easy to obtain. However, it has low electrical conductivity and poor ion diffusion, which hinders energy storage. Carbon modification is a method that has the advantage of reducing particle size and preventing agglomeration in nanoparticles, so this method is widely researched to improve lithium ion diffusion coefficient and conductivity in lithium ion batteries. This study aims to describe the effect of GO modification on the characterization of LiFePO 4 /C-GO composite material and LiFePO 4 /C-GO composite material battery performance as a lithium ion battery cathode material. In this study, it can be seen that the addition of GO in LiFePO 4 cathode material can improve battery performance. The LiFePO 4 /C-GO-10 cathode obtained the most effective results with the lowest Rct value of 95.21 Ω and the highest conductivity value of 14.3×10- 6 S/cm indicating the best electron transport. The Rct value decreased with the addition of GO, and the conductivity value increased with the addition of GO.
