The olivine-type LiFePO4powder was prepared by a chemical method using the synthesized FePO41.78H2O, LiOH, citric acid and PEG as raw materials. The synthesized FePO41.78H2O precursor powder was obtained by co-precipitation method. LiFePO4powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the calcined LiFePO4was in a single phase when fabricated by using the synthesized FePO41.78H2O powder at pH of 3.5 in argon atmosphere.
