To overcome the problems faced by the preparation of high-performance LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 /C cathode material for commercial application in large scale, such as complicated procedures in the synthesis process and/or low volumetric energy density of nanometer-sized sample, herein, micro-agglomerated LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 /C is prepared by a facile surfactant-assisted solid-state route. A composite carbon source and controllable pre-calcining process are used for achieving the homogenous carbon coating, interconnected pores and uniform particle size distribution . X -ray powder diffraction, Raman spectrum , N 2 -adsorpotion-desorpotion, scanning/transmission electron microscopy and elemental analysis confirm the microstructure and accurate composition of the as-prepared samples. It is found that the composite source not only increases the homogeneity of the carbon coating layer and the pore-forming ability, but also contributes to inhibiting the size growth of the primary particles. Meanwhile, the suitable pre-calcining time can improve the specific surface area and optimize the carbon content and pore structure , and thus enhance the tap density of the as-prepared material. The typical LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 /C sample with carbon content of 3.50 wt% displays high reversible capacities and good rate capability, with discharge capacities of 155.0, 141.5 and 120.1 mA h g −1 at 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0 C (1 C = 170 mA g −1 ), respectively. Furthermore, the sample exhibits superior cycling performance, with a capacity retention above 98% after 200 cycles at 1.0 and 5.0 C. As a result, this LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 /C exhibits great potential as a cathode material for high power/energy lithium ion batteries because of its easy synthesis, high specific capacity, good rate capability and cycle stability.

The limited electron and ionic conductivity, along with the sluggish kinetics caused by the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn 3+ , impose constraints on the electrochemical performance of LiFe x Mn 1-x PO 4 . Herein, the surface of LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 (LFMP) is modified with a F-doped carbon using the solvothermal and calcination methods. The incorporation of F-doped carbon coating, along with the formation of interfacial F-Li, F-Fe and F-Mn bonds between the carbon layer and LFMP nanoparticles, significantly mitigates charge transfer resistance, facilitates rapid electron transfer, as well as enhances Li + diffusion kinetics. The LFMP@C-F2 cathode prepared in this study exhibits an unexceptionable capacity retention of 90.5 % after 300 cycles at a low rate of 0.2C and a capacity retention of 78.8 % over 1000 cycles at a high rate of 1C. When incorporated into the solid battery configuration (Li/PEO-LATP CSE/LFMP@C-F2), it exhibits an initial discharge specific capacity of 148 mAh g −1 and maintains a capacity retention of 85.8 % after 60 cycles at 0.1C, thereby offering an innovative approach to enhance the performance of LFMP in terms of cycling stability and rate capacity in lithium-ion batteries, as well as to apply LFMP into solid-state lithium batteries.

Olivine-type LiFe x Mn 1- x PO 4 /C cathode materials are of great interest for lithium-ion batteries because of their higher lithium ion intercalation potential compared with that of LiFePO 4 . Two types of LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 /C nanorods with different sizes and crystal structures were synthesized through a facile glycol-based solvothermal process with different precursor feeding sequences. The microstructural investigation revealed that the size and structure of the LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 nanorods can be tuned by nucleation and crystal growth rates of the intermediate precipitates, which can be controlled by precursor feeding sequence. The LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 nanorods obtained through the first feeding sequence (a solution of transition metal salts was added dropwise into the solution mixture of LiOH and H 3 PO 4 ) exhibited less exposure of the (010) crystal faces and had bigger sizes compared with those of the LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 nanorods obtained through the second feeding sequence (a LiOH solution was added dropwise into the solution mixture of H 3 PO 4 and transition metal salts). Electrochemical investigations indicated that the LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO 4 nanorods obtained through the second feeding sequence showed substantially improved electrochemical performance, in which the discharge capacities reached 157 and 119 mAh g −1 at 0.2 and 5 C, respectively. Furthermore, a capacity retention of 89% was obtained after 500 cycles at 1 C, demonstrating excellent cyclic stability.

The application of LiFe 1− y Mn y PO 4 (0 < y < 1) cathode materials with high voltage and high specific energy for lithium-ion batteries is restrained by capacity decay, structure degradation, and low Li + /electronic conductivity, especially at high temperature. In this study, the Nb 5+ -doped olivine-structured LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5− x Nb x PO 4 (LFMP- x Nb, x = 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3%) are synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. The lattice parameters ( a , b , c , and V ), P O and TM O bond lengths, and particle size are reduced with Nb doping, and the structure stability, electronic/Li + transport rate, and electrochemical performances are improved. The preferred LFMP-1%Nb sample delivers an initial discharge specific capacity of 160.57 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C with a coulombic efficiency of 91.38%, and a specific capacity of 91.23 mAh g −1 at 10 C, and a capacity retention rate of 78.71% with a residual capacity of 106.10 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 1 C. Especially at 55 °C temperature, it can give a discharge specific capacity of 142.9 mAh g −1 and a capacity retention rate of 73.14% after 1000 cycles at 1 C. Graphical Nb 5+ doping shortens the TM O and P O bond lengths, suppressing the Jahn–Teller aberration and the solvation of Mn 2+ ions. Consequently, after 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 1 C rate under 25 °C and 55 o C temperatures, the LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.49 PO 4 −1%Nb cathode material exhibits capacity retention rates of 78.71% and 73.14%, respectively.

The rate performance of LiMnPO4-based materials is further improved via synergistic strategies including a surfactant-assisted solid state method, Fe-substitution and carbon-coating. The surfactant-assisted solid state strategy effectively decreases the primary particle size of the cathode material, which can greatly shorten the diffusion distance of lithium ions. The Fe-substitution improves the effectiveness of Li+ insertion/extraction reactions in the solid phase. The uniform carbon coating layer and the conductive networks provided by the carbon between the nanoparticles ensure the continuous conductivity by the nanoparticles. As a consequence of the synergistic effects, the as prepared LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 sample with 6.10 wt% carbon exhibits high specific capacities and superior rate performance with discharge capacities of 155.0, 140.9 and 121 mA h g−1 at 0.1, 1 and 5 C (1 C = 170 mA g−1), respectively. Meanwhile, it shows stable cycling stability at both room temperature (25 °C, 94.8% and 90.8% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 and 5 C rates, respectively) and elevated temperature (55 °C, 89.2% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5 C rate). This material may have great potential application in advanced Li-ion batteries.
