The lithium vanadium phosphate (Li3V2(PO4)3 solid cathode materials were synthesized by microwave-heated sol-gel method using lithium hydroxide, ammonium metavanadate, phosphate and citric acid as starting materials. The test was conducted with orthogonal experiment method. The optimal conditions for (Li3V2(PO4)3 synthesis were determined to be microwave heating time of 10 min, microwave power of 700 W, Li/V molar ratio of 3.05:2.0 and pH value(gel solution) of 7.0. The synthesized (Li3V2(PO4)3 under the optimal conditions demonstrated perfect crystal growth and good electrochemical performance with initial charge/discharge specific capacity of 172.42 mAh·g-1/154.93 mAh·g-1 and discharge decay rate of 2.25 % after 50 cycles. The lithium ion diffusion coefficient was determined to be 1.434 ×10-8 cm2·s-1 by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and mathematical models derived from simulative equivalent circuit.

Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 cathode materials for Li -ion batteries were synthesized by a facile sol–gel method followed by calcination at various temperatures (700°C, 800°C and 900°C). Lithium acetate dihydrate, manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate, nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate and cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate are employed as the metal precursors, and citric acid monohydrate as the chelating agent. For the obtained Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 materials, the metal components existed in the form of Mn 4+, Ni 2+ and Co 3+, and their molar ratio was in good agreement with 0.56 : 0.16 : 0.08. The calcination temperature played an important role in the particle size, crystallinity and further electrochemical properties of the cathode materials. The Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 material calcined at 800°C for 6 h showed the best electrochemical performances. Its discharge specific capacities cycled at 0.1 C, 0.5 C, 1 C and 2 C rates were 266.0 mAh g−1, 243.1 mAh g−1, 218.2 mAh g−1 and 192.9 mAh g−1, respectively. When recovered to 0.1 C rate, the discharge specific capacity was 260.2 mAh g−1 and the capacity loss is only 2.2%. This work demonstrates that the sol–gel method is a facile route to prepare high performance Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 cathode materials for Li -ion batteries.

Ascorbic acid (VC) was used as carbon source for Li2MnSiO4/C composite synthesized by a sol-gel method. By comparing the electrochemical performance of the Li2MnSiO4/C composite and pure Li2MnSiO4, it was found that VC adding can improve the capacity of Li2MnSiO4. The Li2MnSiO4/C with 10% VC shows a discharge capacity of 212 mAh/g at 0.05C and Li2MnSiO4/C with 15% VC shows discharge capacity of 192 mAh/g at 0.1C, that were higher than the capacity of pure Li2MnSiO4.
