LiMnPO4 with a morphology controlled by carbonate anions was prepared via a simple template-free hydrothermal reaction; the LiMnPO4 shows a promising electrochemical activity as cathode material for lithium ion batteries.

LiMnPO4 is an attractive cathode material for the next-generation high power Li-ion batteries, due to its high theoretical specific capacity (170 mA h g(-1)) and working voltage (4.1 V vs Li(+)/Li). However, two main drawbacks prevent the practical use of LiMnPO4: its low electronic conductivity and the limited lithium diffusion rate, which are responsible for the poor rate capability of the ca...

development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density limnpo4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong p-o covalent bond.synthesis of battery materials integrates the battery technology ...

A density functional theory (DFT) study has been carried out on transition metal phosphates with olivine structure and formula LiMPO4 (M = Fe, Mn, Co, Ni) to assess their potential as cathode materials in rechargeable Li-ion batteries based on their chemical and structural stability and high theoretical capacity. The investigation focuses on LiMnPO4, which could offer an improved cell potential...

We present an analysis of the thermal reduction of delithiated LiMnPO4 and LiFePO4 based on the quarternary phase diagrams as calculated from first principles. Our results confirm the recent experimental findings that MnPO4 decomposes at a much lower temperature than FePO4, thereby potentially posing larger safety issues for LiMnPO4 cathodes. We find that while substantial oxygen is released as...
