Synthesis of Electrochemically Active LiMnPO4 via MnPO4·H2O with Different Morphology Prepared By Facile Precipitation

MnPO4·H2O is successfully prepared with different morphology by facile precipitation. The various morphologies of MnPO4·H2O can be fabricated with different reaction conditions such as reaction temperature, reaction concentration, solvents and stirring time. The synthesized MnPO4·H2O is further used as the precursor to prepare LiMnPO4. XRD, SEM and TG/DSC are performed to characterize as-prepared samples. The capacity can reach 106mAh g-1 after carbon coating. This paves a facile way to prepare LiMnPO4 for Li-ion batteries.
