$LiFePO_4$는 낮은 전기전도도로 인하여 전이금속의 도핑과 카본코팅으로 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키려는 연구가 많이 되어 왔다. 또한 다양한 합성법으로 $LiFePO_4$의 입자사이즈를 최적화 하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 특히 고상 합성법은 결정의 미세화가 가능하고, 상온에서 쉽고 용이하게 원소간의 합금화 및 화학반응을 유도하는 등의 장점으로 인해 가장 널리 사용하고 있는 합성법중 하나이다. 이번 연구에서도 고상합성법을 사용하여 $LiFePO_4$를 합성했으며, 카본소스로서 카르복시산등의 유기산을 사용하여 코팅을 시도해 보았다. 이렇게 합성된 $LiFePO_4$의 물리적 측정을 통하여 입사의 형상 및 크기를 관찰하였고, 하프셀을 구성하여 전기화학적 특성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we prepared $LiFePO_4$- poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) composite by the hydrothermal method and ball-milling process. Different wt% PSS were added to $LiFePO_4$. The cathode electrodes were made from mixtures of $LiFePO_4$-PSS: SP-270: PVDF in a weighting ratio of 70%: 25%: 5%. $LiFePO_4$-PSS powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties of $LiFePO_4$-PSS/Li batteries were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, charge/discharge tests, and AC impedance spectroscopy. A Li/$LiFePO_4$-PSS battery with 4.75 wt% PSS shows the best electrochemical properties, with a discharge capacity of 128 mAh/g.

올리빈 구조의 $LiFePO_4$ 정극 활물질은 $650^{\circ}C$에서 고상법으로 제조되었다. $LiFePO_4$의 전자전도도를 향상시키기 위하여 graphite nanofiber(GNF)를 각각 3wt%, 5wt%, 7wt%, 9wt% 첨가하여 $LiFePO_4$-C를 제조하였다. 제조된 분말의 입자 형태를 확인하기 위하여 X-ray diffraction(XRD)과 File Electronic Scaning Electromicroscopy(FE-SEM)를 측정하였다. XRD결과로부터 제조된 분말은 모두 순수한 결정 구조를 나타내었고 입자의 크기는 약 200nm였다. 5wt% GNF를 첨가한 $LiFePO_4$-C는 기타 첨가량에 비해 방전용량이 가장 높았다. 첫 사이클의 용량은 151.73mAh/g 나타났고 50 사이클 뒤에도 92% 이상을 유지하고 있었다. 첨가하지 않은 것에 비해 43% 증가하였다. $LiFePO_4$-C(3wt%), $LiFePO_4$-C(7wt%), $LiFePO_4$-C(9wt%)의 첫 사이클 방전용량은 각각 147.94mAh/g, 136.64mAh/g, 121.07mAh/g 나타났다. $LiFePO_4$-C(5wt%)에 비해 용량은 떨어쪘지만 순수한 $LiFePO_4$보다 많이 높았다. 임피던스 결과를 보면 기타 첨가량에 비해 $LiFePO_4$-C(5wt%)의 저항 제일 낮았다. 이는 충방전 결과와 일치하였다. graphite nanofiber의 첨가로 인하여 $LiFePO_4$ 정극 활물질의 전자전도도가 높아지고, 따라서 전기화학적 특성도 크게 향상되었다.

The lithium ion diffusion coefficients of bare, carbon-coated and Cr-doped $LiFePO_4$ were obtained by fitting the discharge curves of each half cell with Li metal anode. Diffusion losses at discharge curves were acquired with experiment data and fitted to equations. Theoretically fitted equations showed good agreement with experimental results. Moreover, theoretical equations are able to predict lithium diffusion coefficient and discharge curves at various discharge rates. The obtained diffusion coefficients were similar to the true diffusion coefficient of phase transformation electrodes. Lithium ion diffusion is one of main factors that determine voltage drop in a half cell with $LiFePO_4$ cathode and Li metal anode. The high diffusion coefficient of carbon-coated and Cr-doped $LiFePO_4$ resulted in better performance at the discharge process. The performance at high discharge rate was improved much as diffusion coefficient increased.

$LiFePO_4$ doped with Cr showed improved electrochemical properties as a cathode material of lithium-ion batteries compared to the undoped. The improvement was thought that the doping would raise the electronic conductivity of the compounds. The electrical conductivity of $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}B_{0.005}PO_4$ and $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ powder was measured in the temperature range from 30 to $80^{\circ}C$. The doped powders were synthesized via mechanochemical milling and subsequent heat treatment at 675~$750^{\circ}C$ for 5~10h. The doping enhanced grain growth and electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of the $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ powder at $30^{\circ}C$ was $1{\times}10^{-8}S/cm$, which was higher two orders of magnitude than that of the undoped.

Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ was synthesized via co-precipitation method using sucrose as the carbon source. Structure, surface morphology, and the electrochemical properties of the synthesized olivine compounds were investigated using Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical charge-ischarge tests. Spherical morphology with the particle size of ${\sim}8{\mu}m$ authenticated the enhanced tap density and volumetric energy density of the synthesized materials. Charge-discharge behavior of $LiFePO_4$ and Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ cells demonstrated a specific capacity of 130 and 145 mAh $g^{-1}$, respectively. Mo-doped $LiFePO_4$ cells exhibited an excellent discharge capacity at 96 mAh $g^{-1}$ at 7 C-rate.

The estimation of $LiFePO_4$/graphite battery states suffers from the prominent hysteresis phenomenon between the respective open-circuit voltage curves towards charging and discharging. A lot of hysteresis models have been documented to investigate the hysteresis mechanism. This paper reviews and deeply interprets four non-electrochemical hysteresis models and some improvements. These models can be conveniently incorporated into commonly used equivalent circuit models to reproduce battery behaviors. Through simulation and experimental comparisons of voltage predictions and state-of-charge estimations, the pros and cons of these models are presented.

This study investigates a root cause of the improved rate performance of $LiFePO_4$ after metal doping to Fesites. This is because the metal doped $LiFePO_4$/C maintains its initial capacity at higher C-rates than undoped one. Using $LiFePO_4$/C and doped $LiFe_{0.97}M_{0.03}PO_4$/C (M=$Al^{3+}$, $Cr^{3+}$, $Zr^{4+}$), which are synthesized by a mechanochemical process followed by one-step heat treatment, the Li content before and after chemical delithiation in the $LiFePO_4$/C and the binding energy are compared using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results from AAS and XPS indicate that the low Li content of the metal doped $LiFePO_4$/C after chemical delithiation is attributed to the low binding energy induced by weak Li-O interactions. The improved capacity retention of the doped $LiFePO_4$/C at high discharge rates is, therefore, achieved by relatively low binding energy between Li and O ions, which leads to fast Li diffusivity.
