Abstract

LiMnPO4 is of great interest as the promising cathode material in lithium-ion batteries for its low cost and good stability, but still suffers from limited electrochemical performance. In this work, Li1-xNaxMnPO4/C (LNMP/C) nanocomposite is prepared using polyacrylic acid sodium as a single source for simultaneous performing of Na+ doping and carbon coating. The as-prepared LNMP/C sample exhibits an olivine-type structure and uniform particle size distribution. The carbon layer (about 2.5 nm in thickness) is covered thoroughly on the surface of the sample and Na+ enters into the internal structure and occupies Li+ position. Compared with LiMnPO4/C (LMP/C) without Na doping, LNMP/C shows good electrochemical performance, including low electrochemical reaction resistance, high discharge capacity and better cycle stability and rate performance. The initial discharge capacity of LNMP/C is 157 mAh g−1 at 0.1C rate and the capacity retention is 96.81% after 50 cycles.
