Phosphorus content engineering in LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 cathodes: manipulating structural stability and electrochemical performance
摘要
The development of high-performance LiMnxFe1-xPO4 cathodes represents a critical pursuit in both academic and industrial sectors. While phosphorus (P) content significantly governs the structural stability and electrochemical performance of LiMnxFe1-xPO4, systematic investigations remain scarce. To address this gap, we engineered NH4Mn0.6Fe0.4PO4 precursors with tailored P contents and then synthesized different P content LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 cathodes to elucidate phosphorus-dependent electrochemical behavior. This work substantiates that augmented (NH4)2HPO4 dosage enhanced P content and porosity in NMFP precursors, which in turn enhances P content and electrochemical performance of LMFP cathodes. The optimized LMFP-3 cathode exhibited a specific capacity of 140 mAh·g−1 under 0.1C discharge rate and delivered exceptional cycling stability under high-rate conditions. This study establishes pivotal guidelines for engineering practical high-performance LiMnxFe1-xPO4 cathodes.
