Abstract
The LiVPO4F as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries was synthesized through two steps of solid-state reactions and investigated by ex situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for the initial charge and discharge cycle. The characterization of the effect on the structure of the LiVPO4F in the process of lithium-ion insertion/extraction at a molecular level by ex situ FTIR spectroscopy is helpful for the mechanism research for lithium-ion insertion/extraction and the improvement of the performance of lithium-ion batteries. In the process of the initial cycle, new bands of VPO4F appear in the charge and the featured bands of LiVPO4F reappear in the discharge. In this paper, ex situ FTIR spectra indicates that the structure of the LiVPO4F in the process of lithium-ion insertion/extraction is almost not affected, which clearly states that the LiVPO4F possesses stable structure as cathode material. Consequently, the LiVPO4F might be expected as a potential cathode replacement for commercial lithium-ion batteries.
