Mesoporous FePO[sub 4] with Enhanced Electrochemical Performance as Cathode Materials of Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Abstract
Is an attractive cathode material for lithium batteries, but its practical capacity is limited by the poor lithium intercalation∕deintercalation kinetics. In this paper, a mesoporous structure has been imported into to improve the kinetics by a modified surfactant template method. Electrochemical tests showed that mesoporous fired at with molar ratio 0.039 delivered at 0.1C and at 3C, which was higher than that of reported amorphous and crystalline . These results help to understand the role of mesostructure in electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries.
