Synthesis of Nano-LiMnPO4 from MnPO4·H2O Prepared by Mechanochemistry

Synthesis of nano-LiMnPO4 from MnPO4·H2O prepared by mechanochemistry is attempted. SEM, TEM, XRD and TG/DSC are performed to characterize the products. The results show that the primary particles are loosely aggregated with an average particle size of 40-50 nm. The morphology and particle size distribution of nano-LiMnPO4 preserves those of MnPO4·H2O. This paves a promising way of high efficiency, easy accessibility and speediness to prepare nano-LiMnPO4.
