Synthesis and study of lithium iron phosphate for lithium ion batteries

Development of lithium-ion batteries is an essential energy storage technology for different applications. A novel combination of materials is proposed for the development of the cathode material of lithium-ion batteries. Through the research paper, we are proposing synthesis of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathode material using hydrothermal process. In these assumptions, the time is kept constant and temperature is varied from 130°C to 160°C. Further, study of different parameters like grain size, morphology, and electro chemical properties are critically observed by varying temperature by hydrothermal synthesis process. The properties of the synthesised films by the XRD, SEM and TGA techniques were also studied. Finally, the electrochemical analysis is carried out to understand the performance of the prepared cathode material.
