Abstract By adding different transition metal acetates(manganese acetate, cobaltous acetate, nickel acetate, zinc acetate), LiFePO4/C composite materials were synthesized for lithium rechargeable batteries by high temperature solid-state reaction under the protection of argon, using Li2CO3, FeC2O4·2H2O, NH4H2PO4 , C6H12O6 (glucose) as raw materials. Effect of doping transition metal ions on crystal structure and performance of the sample was investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, galvanostatic charge discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry. The results indicated that LiFe0.9M0.1PO4/C(M=Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) and LiFePO4 have the same crystal structure of olivine-style. Doping transition metal ions can increase the reduction potential of LiFePO4/C, decrease the oxidation potential, reduce the distance between redox peaks, and improve the reversibility of the chemical reaction. The doped samples have a better discharge performance at 5C, especially LiFe0.9Ni0.1PO4/C which has the highest discharge specific capacity reaching 89 mAh/g.
