Versatile Synthesis of Carbon-Rich LiFePO[sub 4] Enhancing Its Electrochemical Properties

composites were prepared from thermal decomposition of Fe(II) organophosphonates or phenyl group) in the presence of at high temperature and under inert atmosphere. The compounds were characterized by chemical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning colorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Electrodes were fabricated for the electrochemical characterization. The cathode material obtained from showed a specific energy evaluated at C/10 rate of about The specific power calculated at 30C rate in excess at while the specific energy was about 28% of the theoretical one. No capacity fading was observed upon cycling.
