Abstract

In this work, we investigate a novel synthesis route for the synthesis of LiFePO4 material that utilizes an ionic liquid/water composite medium. The effect of reaction time and reaction temperature on the crystallinity of synthesized material is investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD). Morphology is analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is observed that the intensity of peaks corresponding to LiFePO4 increase as reaction time increases, but unwanted peaks are present as well. SEM characterization indicates that various structures are initially formed, but as the reaction time progresses product morphology changes in size.
