Abstract: LiFePO4 was considered as a new kind of cathode material candidate for lithium ion batteries due to its advantages. LiFePO4/C composites were successfully prepared from Fe2O3 via solid state reaction by a thermal reduction method in Ar+5%(volume fraction) H2 atmosphere. The crystal structure and electrochemical behavior of the materials were investigated using XRD, SEM, CV and charge/discharge cycle measurements. Based on the results of TGA-DTA, LiFePO4/C composites were synthesized at different temperatures, and it was found that the LiFePO4/C composites synthesized at 700 ℃ with 8.76% mass fraction carbon content presented the initial discharge capacity of 144.8 mA·h/g at 0.1C, and after 160 cycles, the capacity remained as 141.4 mA·h/g. The method is available due to the low cost of Fe2O3 instead of using bivalent ferrous compound.

Key words: Fe2O3, LiFePO4, Lithium ion battery
