摘要

Olivine LiMn1−xFexPO4 (LMFP) cathodes are attractive due to their higher discharge voltage compared to LiFePO4. However, the electrochemical performance of LiMn1−xFexPO4 is compromised by the Jahn–Teller effect of Mn3+, as well as its poor electronic conductivity. We utilized radio frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technology with N2 to achieve N-doping of the surface carbon layer of LMFP, resulting in N-LMFP cathode. Nitrogen doping increases the disorder of pyrolytic carbon, improves the electrical conductivity and suppresses the Jahn–Teller effect of Mn3+. N-LMFP cathode exhibited superior rate capability and cycling stability, delivering 152.7 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C and maintaining 126.5 mAh g−1 after 348 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity retention of 90%.
