Synthesis and Caracterization of Mesoporous FePO4 as Positive Electrode Materials for Lithium Batteries
Mesoporous iron phosphates were synthesized using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactants. The material synthesized in the presence of SDS was not applied as a positive electrode active material of a lithium battery. The results show that the obtained Fe...

| Summary: | Mesoporous iron phosphates were synthesized using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactants. The material synthesized in the presence of SDS was not applied as a positive electrode active material of a lithium battery. The results show that the obtained FePO has a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of 70 m g and a dominant pore diameter of 3 nm. Those mesoporous were characterized by different microstructural and electrochemical analyzes. Among the materials studied under different conditions, those calcined at 450°C preserve mesoporous structures and exhibit the best electrochemical performance when used as active materials of the positive electrodes of lithium batteries. Effectively, a relatively high specific capacity of 135 and 122 mAh g was registered at C/20 collected experimentally by the samples synthesized in the presence of SDS and CTAB, respectively. |
