Combined First-principles and Experimental Studies of a V-doped LiFePO4/C Composite as a Cathode Material for Lithium-ion Batteries
Abstrak
As a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), olivine-structured LiFePO4 has been increasingly studied due to its high capacity, excellent thermal stability, cycling stability and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, the main challenge of LiFePO4 is its poor conductivity and Li+ diffusion coefficient. Herein, a V-doped LiFePO4/C composite is prepared via a solid-state method. The electronic structures of the samples are obtained by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. V2 exhibits enhanced electrochemical performance, demonstrating discharge capacities as high as 155.6, 150.2, 136.0, 122.4 and 93.1 mA h g-1 at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0C, respectively, and approximately 100% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1.0C.
