Improving the cycling stability and rate capability of LiMn0.5Fe0.5PO4/C nanorod as cathode materials by LiAlO2 modification

LiMn0.5Fe0.5PO4 (LMFP)@C and LMFP@LiAlO2@C nanorods are successfully synthesized by a solvothermal process followed by a calcination at H2/Ar atmosphere. The carbon coating and LiAlO2 coating does not change the morphology and particle size of LMFP, and all samples show nanorod morphology with 50–10...

Therefore, the LiAlO2 coating can be considered as an effective way to improve the electrochemical properties of LMFP.
