Li 2 FeSiO 4 is a promising cathode material with high energy density and low cost for lithium-ion batteries. However, it is suffering from ultralow ion and electron kinetics, which limit its future application. To overcome the above drawbacks, crystal habits engineering and nanoscale effect strategies are adopted to improve the kinetics process. A nano-scale fusiform Li 2 FeSiO 4 with highly exposed (001) facets is successfully synthesized by using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a structure directing agent , and the specific formation mechanism is also revealed. Benefiting from this fusiform face-exposed crystal structure, the fusiform-Li 2 FeSiO 4 nanocrystal delivers a reversible capacity of 225.4 mAh g −1 at 0.1C, and 90 % capacity retention for 800 cycles. Such ion/electron kinetic-enhanced engineered nanocrystals offer an exemplification in developing next-generation cathodes for high-energy-density Lithium-ion batteries.

Mesoporous Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C nanocomposites (LFS-FNS and LFS-NS) were prepared from fumed nano silica (FNS) and nano silica (NS) through facile solid-state reactions, respectively. XRD analysis indicates that the crystalline structures of LFS-FNS and LFS-NS are indexed to monoclinic Li 2 FeSiO 4 of P2 1 . SEM results prove that the particle size of LFS-FNS and FNS (25~40 nm) is smaller than that of LFS-NS and NS, revealing the particle size of Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C nanocomposites can be tuned by choosing different silica. TEM further indicates Li 2 FeSiO 4 nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the amorphous carbon networking of LFS-FNS. Pore structure analysis indicates the external surface areas of LFS-FNS as well as LFS-NS are 51.4 and 36.1 m 2 g −1 , indicating the pore properties of mesoporous Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C nanocomposites can be controlled by using different silica as silicon resource. The reduced particle size and high external surface area shorten the lithium-ion diffusion path and make LFS-FNS possess better electrochemical performance over LFS-NS. The discharge capacity of LFS-FNS is as high as 172 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C.

The morphology-controlled Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C cathode material is successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method, in which commercial, spherical and cubic Fe 2 O 3 are respectively used as iron sources. By controlling the Fe 2 O 3 precursors' morphologies, the morphology and grain size of the Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C materials can be purposefully controlled via morphology-inheritance strategy. The morphologies, sizes, elemental distributions and structures of the as-prepared Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C materials are confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the as-synthesized Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C samples exhibit well-defined morphologies due to the homogeneous and well-crystallized Fe 2 O 3 precursors. Comparing with Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C synthesized by commercial Fe 2 O 3 precursor, the Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C materials prepared by spherical or cubic Fe 2 O 3 precursors exhibit eminent electrochemical properties , e.g., high initial reversible capacities of 214.1 mAh g −1 for LFS/C-S and 206.5 mAh g −1 for LFS/C-C at 0.1 C and good cyclic stability (93.1% for LFS/C-S and 91.5% for LFS/C-C). In particular, the spherical LFS/C-S material with better fluidity and less agglomeration displays excellent rate capability of 105.4 mAh g −1 at 10 C. Therefore, the control of the morphology and size during preparation process of Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C cathode materials will open a new route for the development of high performances lithium-ion batteries.

One method to enhance the electrochemical performance of carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4cathode material in lithium-ion batteries is to produce an ideal Li2FeSiO4precursor with minimal impurities. A novel precursor for Li2FeSiO4(Li2O·FeCO3·CH3OSiO2H) was synthesized through a methanol solvothermal reaction under stringent conditions (180 °C and 2.7 MPa), achieving a purity level of 93.2%. During synthesis, the new Li2FeSiO4precursor exhibits unique self-purification properties and maintains a fine morphology after annealing. The resulting carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4composites demonstrate a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area of 102.4 m2/g and approximately 81% mesoporous volume, with 90% of the pore sizes measuring less than 39 nm. As a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, this carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4exhibits initial specific capacities of 172.3 mAh/g (charge) and 159.3 mAh/g (discharge). Remarkably, nearly 50% of the theoretical specific capacity remains after 1300 cycles at a rate of 0.1 C. The excellent electrochemical performance of the carbon-coated Li2FeSiO4materials is demonstrated by their high lithium-ion diffusivity (DLi+) value of 1.26 × 10−11cm2/s. Additionally, the enormous capacities-controlled diffusion contribution, which accounts for 70% of the total diffusion at a rate of 1C, is noteworthy. This performance can be attributed to the high purity of the carbon-free Li2FeSiO4composite, which contains 91% Li2FeSiO4, as well as its favorable morphology.

Hierarchical mesoporous Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C sheaf-rods (HMLFS-SRs) were fabricated using a hard template method with SBA-15 as a silicon source. For comparision, Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C nanocomposites (LFS) were prepared using nano-SiO 2 under the same conditions. XRD results prove that both the HMLFS-SRs and LFS contain crystalline Li 2 FeSiO 4 and trace amounts of Fe 3 O 4 impurities. The SEM and TEM images indicate that the HMLFS-SRs are hierarchical sheaf rods composed of nanoparticles . EDS data prove that elemental Fe, Si, O and C are uniformly distributed throughout the whole Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C sheaf rod. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption analyses further indicate that the HMLFS-SRs are typical mesoporous materials with an external surface area of 47 m 2 g −1 , which is higher than that of the LFS (31 m 2 g −1 ). These unique structures enable the HMLFS-SRs to exhibit much better electrochemical performance than the LFS. The HMLFS-SRs deliver a high discharge capacity of 206.6 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C. In addition, the HMLFS-SRs also have good cycling performance, satisfactory rate performance, a low charge transfer resistance and a large lithium-ion diffusion coefficient .

Nano porous Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C composite (LFS-10S) was prepared by KOH selective etching Li 2 FeSiO 4 -(SiO 2 ) 0.1 /C composites. This method allows directly pore-creating on Li 2 FeSiO 4 crystal. Common porous Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C (LFS) were also prepared as a control. LFS-10S and LFS were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and nitrogen adsorption/desorption test. XRD analysis shows that the LFS-10S material was composed of crystalline particles with a monoclinic crystal system in the P 2 1 space group. SEM and TEM tests indicate that the particle size of LFS-10S is 20 ∼ 30 nm. The nitrogen adsorption/desorption test shows that the specific surface area of LFS-10S is 123.23 m 2 /g, larger than that of LFS (71.56 m 2 /g). These features make LFS-10S exhibit better electrochemical performance over LFS. The specific discharge capacity of LFS-10S at 0.1 C is as high as 235.2 mA h g −1 , higher than that of LFS (158.4 mA h g −1 ). Moreover, the rate performance, cycling performance and lithium ion diffusion coefficient of LFS-10S are all better than those of LFS.

Li 2 FeSiO 4 is deemed to be a potential candidate for large-scale applications because of its abundance, low cost and high safety, etc. Unfortunately, its low conductivity, resulting in poor rate performance, has become a main obstacle to its applications in power battery and energy storage system. In this work, C-Ag coated Li 2 FeSiO 4 is introduced to improve the innate electronic conductivity and Li-ion diffusion ability. The results demonstrate that Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C/Ag composite exhibits better electrochemical performance. It possesses a specific discharge capacity of 152, 121, 108 mA∙h/g at 0.2 C , 5 C and 10 C , respectively. At the same time, the Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C/Ag composite shows good cycle stability and a capacity retention ratio of 97.9% after 100 cycles at 1 C .

We report composite electrodes with Li2FeSiO4 (LFS) nanocrystals wrapped in three different types of conductive carbon such as Acetylene Black (AB), carbon nanotubes (CNT) and Ketjen Black (KB) to demonstrate depolarization effects on the electrochemical performance of Li-ions batteries. KB with a nanoporous structure and the largest surface area enabled the formation of the best electronic conductive-network with excellent capacity on the interface of LFS nanoparticles, showing reversible electrochemical activity. Compared to the electrodes of LFS wrapped in AB and CNT, the polarization of LFS particles wrapped in KB was reduced significantly due to high conductivity of the electrode, resulting in an increase of about 59.0% in the reversible capacity (269.0 mA h g−1, corresponding to 1.62 Li-storages) and obvious enhancement in the rate performance. By using the electrochemical analysis methods, we demonstrated the insight of discharge of more than one lithium ion at different voltages in the LFS@KB vs. LFS@AB and LFS@CNT electrodes, including interface capacity, Fe3+/Fe2+ and Fe4+/Fe3+ redox, respectively. The fundamental mechanism of enhanced electrochemical performance of LFS by creating a depolarization environment with optimized conductive carbon provides useful guidance to the future design of high performance LFS cathodes for LIBs.

Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C cathode composites were fabricated from a simple solid-state approach using precursor Fe-MOFs prepared by hydrothermal process. The Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C composites covered by carbon film with diverse contents were characterized using XRD , SEM , galvanostatic charge-discharge measurement and EIS, and so on. Results of the investigation prove that Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C composites with 19.3 wt % carbon layer present prominent electrochemical capability, which delivered the discharge capacity of 154, 138, 129, 117 and 100 mA h g −1 at 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 C, respectively. After 100 cycles, discharge capacity retained 97.4% compared to the original value at 2 C. Furthermore, it possesses the lowest charge transfer resistance as well as the highest Li + diffusion coefficient , attributing to uniform carbon coating and porous structure for Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C composites.

Undoubtedly, it is imperative to figure out two stubborn issues concerning low electronic conductivity and sluggish lithium ion diffusion to promote the practical application of Li 2 FeSiO 4 materials in lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode. Herein, we report an innovative and simple strategy that combines a hydrothermal process with subsequent annealing to synthesize highly uniform Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C hollow nanospheres. During the hydrothermal process, polystyrene nanospheres are employed not only as the template but also, more tactfully, as carbon source to form amorphous carbon layers, which will function to enhance the electronic conductivity and restrict particle aggregations. The use of the LIB Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C hollow nanospheres as a LIB cathode delivers a desired stable capacity at each rate stage, and even at a high rate of 10 C, the hollow nanosphere cathode can present a specific discharge capacity as high as 50.5 mAh·g −1 . After 100 cycles, the capacity retentions at 1 and 10 C remain as high as 93% and 72%, respectively. The superior electrochemical performance is believed to be related to special architectures of the Li 2 FeSiO 4 /C hollow nanosphere cathode.

We report Sn(II) and Sn(IV) self-selective dual-doping, respectively, on Fe and Si sites of Li2FeSiO4 nanocrystals due to the steric and electronic structure effects of Sn(II,IV). Combined with experimental studies and theoretical calculations, we investigate the structure–property relationship of tin doped Li2FeSiO4 as the cathode material for high performance Li-ion batteries, in which the dual-doping enhances the electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion coefficient. The doped sample with 5% Sn(IV) source shows the best electrochemical performance due to the improved electronic conductivity and Li-ion diffusivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also reveal that tin dual-doped Li2FeSiO4 has better electronic conductivity and lower voltage of delithiation than that of the undoped Li2FeSiO4, which is in accordance with our experimental results.

The extremely low electrical conductivity and ion-diffusion coefficient of Li 2 FeSiO 4 limits its application as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, in situ boron-doped Li 2 FeSi 1− x B x O 4− δ /C ( x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07) at the Si site was prepared via the solid-state reaction method using pitch as the carbon source. B doping in the lattice structure and a carbon coating on the surface of the composites could effectively enhance the Li + /electron conductivity. Moreover, the reduced particle size of the active material with the relatively high specific area via boron-doped modification could improve the wettability between the electrolyte and cathode. With the synergistic effect of appropriate boron doping and carbon coating, it exhibits a good rate performance, specific capacity, and cycling performance. As a result, the as-prepared Li 2 FeSi 0.95 B 0.05 O 4− δ /C cathode showed a high discharge capacity of 160.7 mAh·g −1 at 0.2C, and the capacity retention rate was 96% after 100 cycles at 1.0C. This work presents an effective path for designing advanced cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Graphical abstract
