Abstract:

Stoichiometric Mg doped LiFePO4/C cathode material was synthesized through a templatesolid state reaction in an inert atmosphere using magnesium lactate as dopant and part of carbon source. Effects of Mg2+ doping on the electrochemical and physical performances of the cathode materials were investigated. At 1/3C discharge rate, the secondly reversible specific capacity of the Mg-doped LiFePO4/C is nearly 20mAh/g higher than that of the undoped one. After 20 cycles, the capacity of the former is 162.1mAh/g, 22mAh/g higher than that of the latter. Impedance R ct of the Mg-doped material is 120Ω, while that of the undoped material is 180Ω. The tap density of Mg-doped material is
also improved by 0.229g·cm-3 compared with undoped material.

Key words: magnesium lactate, LiFePO4/C, cathode material, doping
