Electrochemical Characteristics of Carbon Coated Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃

Abstract

The rechargeable battery becomes very important due to the development of electronic devices and electrical vehicle. Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ is one of the candidate for the cathode materials of lithium ion battery. Solid state method and sol-gel method were used to prepare the materials. To increase the electrical conductivity, carbon was coated on the surface of LVP. The samples were analyzed by TGA, XRD, and FE-SEM. CR 2032 coin cells were assembled for the electrochemical test. Maccor series 4000 was used to test the cyclic performance of the coin cell.
