Kwon, Nam Hee Fromm, Katharina M. 2012-02-20 5–10 nm thin rod shaped LiMnPO₄ nanoparticles are synthesized by an improved thermal decomposition method. The synthesis parameters such as the concentration of surfactants, reaction temperature and time, as well as the presence of a solvent play a critical role in the formation of spherical, thin or thick nanorods, and needle-shaped particles of LiMnPO₄. A washing procedure to efficiently eliminate the surfactants attached to the surface of LiMnPO₄ nanoparticles is presented, avoiding thermal treatment at high temperatures. A nanocomposite LiMnPO₄ electrode provides a discharge capacity of 165 mAh/g at 1/40 C and 66 mAh/g at 1 C with only 10 wt% of total carbon additive. The characteristics of as-synthesized and low amount of carbon coated LiMnPO₄ are described as well as their electrochemical properties. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/302408 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/302408/files/fro_eep.pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/302408/files/fro_eep_sm.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.electacta.2012.02.040 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Electrochimica Acta. - 2012, vol. 69, p. 38-44 Li ion batteries LiMnPO4 30 nm nanoparticle Surfactant Carbon info:eu-repo/classification/udc/54 Enhanced electrochemical performance of <30 nm thin LiMnPO4 nanorods with a reduced amount of carbon as a cathode for lithium ion batteries http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
