High-performance LiMnPO4 nanorods synthesized via a facile EG-assisted solvothermal approach

摘要: Novel LiMnPO4 nanorods have been successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal approach in mixed solvent of ethylene glycol (EG) and water (11:1, vol.). The as-prepared sample is single crystalline has rod-like morphology with small size especially thin thickness less than 50 nm along the [010] direction, which expected to favour faster lithium-ion extraction/insertion reactions. Detailed investigations indicate that EG plays an important role formation by effectively regulating morphology, size, crystal orientation. Benefiting from special uniform carbon coating, LiMnPO4/C composite exhibit high reversible capacity 168 mA h g−1 110 at 0.05 C 10 C, respectively, remarkable stable retention ∼94.5% after 100 cycles 0.5 C.
