Here we report the synthesis at low temperature (220 °C) by a solvothermal method of highly crystalline LiCoPO4. This material is a candidate for application as cathode in next-generation Li-ion cells. The presented synthetic route allows a careful tailoring of the sample morphology and leads to morphologically homogeneous platelet-like particles. The obtained material has been characterized by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopies, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and electron microscopies. The synthesized material has been also characterized in lithium cells to highlight its ability to reversibly cycle lithium.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis at low temperature (220 °C) by a solvothermal method of highly crystalline LiCoPO4. This material is a candidate for application as cathode in next-generation Li-ion cells. The presented synthetic route allows a careful tailoring of the sample morphology and leads to morphologically homogeneous platelet-like particles. The obtained material has been characterized by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopies, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and electron microscopies. The synthesized material has been also characterized in lithium cells to highlight its ability to reversibly cycle lithium.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
