Abstract

Badminton-like LiCoPO4 nanomaterials were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, using PEG 200 as the structure directing agent, followed by a high temperature post annealing process. LiCoPO4 nanoparticles could be obtained when PEG 200 is absence during the same synthesis process. As-synthesized products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Lithiumion battery performance of synthesized LiCoPO4nanobadmintons was also measured. The initial discharge capacities of LiCoPO4 can reach 132.4 mAhg-1 at 0.1C.After 50 cycles, the discharge capacity has been decreased to 99.6 mAhg-1 and the capacity retention is about 75.2%. The electrochemical performance of LiCoPO4nanobadmintons is better than LiCoPO4 nanoparticles synthesized in the absence of PEG 200 and many other LiCoPO4 materials reported in the literature. The excellent electrochemical performance of LiCoPO4nanobadmintons can be attributed to its unique badminton-like nanostructures consisted of many long and thin nanorods.
