STRUCTURAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LITHIUM TITANIUM FLUOROPHOSPHATE CATHODE MATERIAL FOR LITHIUM ION RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

As a new approach, three-dimensional flower-like LiTiPO4F nano-structured particles were successfully synthesized in a single step by chemical solution deposition method. Each flower-like structure consists of petal like assembly, which might be helpful to enhance the electrochemical performance of LiTiPO4F. The obtained powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The lithium storage properties of the nanostructured LiTiPO4F were investigated as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical evaluation of the LiTiPO4F exhibits a reversible specific capacity of around 150 mAh/g (94% of theoretical capacity) at C/10
