Abstract

A Li0.5FeV1.5O4 sample was synthesized using sol-gel route. The X-ray diffraction study indicates formation of spinel phase (with Fd3m space group) for this sample. LiO4, LiO6, and V-O bonds were identified from the Raman spectrum, while LiO4 and Fe-O bonds were identified from the FTIR spectrum of this sample phase. The FESEM study indicates formation of inhomogeneous grains. The surface area of 74.39 m2/g was estimated from the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis technique. The cyclic voltammetry study of Li0.5FeV1.5O4 indicates an anodic peak at 2.1 V while a cathodic peak at 1.98 V. The charge-discharge study exhibits two voltage plateaus respectively at 2.1 and at 4 V. Stable electrochemical capacity of 40 mAh/g for Li0.5FeV1.5O4 was found for 30 cycles. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study indicates smaller bulk resistance and higher ionic diffusion, i.e., less Warburg impedance for this phase. An energy density of 89 Wh/kg, a power density of 33 W/kg, and a 90% Coulombic efficiency was achieved with relatively good cyclic stability from Li0.5FeV1.5O4.
