摘要
Here three kinds of graphene preparation strategies, namely, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), Wurtz-type reductive coupling reaction and chemical exfoliation, respectively, have been developed to synthesize large-scale high-quality graphene for improving the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes. The flexible graphene sheets as effective conduction channels possess larger surface area to load more LFP nanoparticles (NPs). The amount of the 5 wt% graphene additive greatly reduces the contact resistance between LFP NPs, and dramatically enhances the electrical conductivity and electrochemical performances of the cathodes. Particularly, when the large-size, defect-free and highly crystalline CVD graphene sheets are used to modify LFP cathodes, the capacities reach up to 132 mA h g(-1) and 80 mA h g(-1) at 1C and 20C discharge rates, and the corresponding capacity decay rates are 3.1% and 6.5% after 100 cycles, respectively. The excellent performance shows that the graphene-modified LFP is promising cathodes for high rate lithium ion batteries. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
