Abstract

The electrochemical performance of Li3V2(PO4)3/C was investigated at various low temperatures in the electrolyte 1.0 mol dm−3 LiPF6/ethyl carbonate (EC)+diethyl carbonate (DEC)+dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (volume ratio 1:1:1). The stable specific discharge capacity is 125.4, 122.6, 119.3, 116.6, 111.4, and 105.7 mAh g−1 at 26, 10, 0, −10, −20, and −30 °C, respectively, in the voltage range of 2.3–4.5 V at 0.2 C rate. When the temperature decreases from −30 to −40 °C, there is a rapid decline in the capacity from 105.7 to 69.5 mAh g−1, implying that there is a nonlinear relationship between the performance and temperature. With temperature decreasing, R ct (corresponding to charge transfer resistance) increases rapidly, D (the lithium ion diffusion coefficients) decreases sharply, and the performance of electrolyte degenerates obviously, illustrating that the low-temperature electrochemical performance of Li3V2(PO4)3/C is mainly limited by R ct, D Li, and electrolyte.
