Abstract

LiFePO₄ was synthesized by a microwave hydrothermal heating (MH) method. The particle size of the product prepared by the MH method is in the range from 200 to 300 µm. The LiFePO₄ cathode materials thus obtained had a higher discharge capacity and better cycle performance than those of the LiFePO₄ samples prepared by a conventional hydrothermal reaction.
