STRUCTURAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LITHIUM TITANIUM FLUOROPHOSPHATE CATHODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM ION RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

As a new approach, three - dimensional flower - like LiTiPO 4 F nano - structured particles were successfully synthesized in a single step by chemical solution deposition method. Each flower - like structure consists of petal like assembly, which might be helpful to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiTiPO 4 F. The obtained powder was characterized by X - ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The l ithium storage properties of the nanostructured LiTiPO 4 F were investigated as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical evaluation of the LiTiPO 4 F exhibits a reversible specific capacity of around 150 mAh/g (94% of theoretical capac ity) at C/10.
