Abstract

LiNiPO4, LiNi0.8Mn0.2PO4, and LiNi0.8Mn0.1Fe0.1PO4 cathodes were prepared via the solid-state reaction technique. The XRD analysis confirmed that all three samples were well crystallized and belonged to the Pnmb space group with an olivine-type structure. FTIR analysis identified the four fundamental stretching and bending vibration modes of ions (PO43− groups) in the tetrahedral sites of all samples. The electrical conductivity was found in the range of 1.51–2.16 × 10–8 S/cm. The dielectric spectra revealed the existence of interfacial polarization Maxwell–Wagner-type dielectric dispersion in all samples. The frequency dependence study of electric modulus revealed the contribution of both long-range and short-range mobility of charge carriers in all samples. This study confirmed that single Mn2+ ions doping is more effective to enhance the electrical conductivity and electrochemical performance of LiNiPO4 cathode than Mn2+ and Fe2+ ions co-doping.
