In this work, we investigated three types of graphene (i.e., home-made G, G V4, and G V20) with different size and morphology, as additives to a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode for the lithium-ion battery. Both the LFP and the two types of graphene (G V4 and G V20) were sourced from industrial, large-volume manufacturers, enabling cathode production at low cost. The use of wrinkled and/or large pieces of a graphene matrix shows promising electrochemical performance when used as an additive to the LFP, which indicates that the features of large and curved graphene pieces enable construction of a more effective conducting network to realize the full potential of the active materials. Specifically, compared to pristine LFP, the LFP/G, LFP/G V20, and LFP/G V4 show up to a 9.2%, 6.9%, and 4.6% increase, respectively, in a capacity at 1 C. Furthermore, the LFP combined with graphene exhibits a better rate performance than tested with two different charge/discharge modes. Moreover, from the economic and electrochemical performance view point, we also demonstrated that 1% of graphene content is optimized no matter the capacity calculated, based on the LFP/graphene composite or pure LFP.

Carbon-coated, bismuth-doped, lithium iron phosphates, LiFe1xBixPO4(0x0.05), have been synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. From the optimization, the carbon-coated LiFe0.95Bi0.05PO4phase showed superior performances in terms of phase purity and high discharge capacity. The structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties were studied and compared to carbon-coated, LiFePO4. The Li/LiFe0.95Bi0.05PO4with carbon coating cell delivered an initial discharge capacity of 145 mAh/g and was 30 mAh/g higher than the Li/LiFePO4with carbon coating cell. Cyclic voltammetry revealed excellent reversibility of the LiFe0.95Bi0.05PO4with carbon coating material. High rate capability studies were also performed and showed a capacity retention over 93% during the cycling. It was concluded that substituted Bi ion play an important role in enhancing battery performance of the LiFePO4material through improving the kinetics of the lithium insertion/extraction reaction on the electrode.
