Design and electrochemical investigation of a novel graphene oxide-silver joint conductive agent on LiFePO4 cathodes in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
E-mail:
We designed a novel graphene oxide-silver (GO-Ag) joint conductive agent to improve the low electronic conductivity of LiFePO4 (LFP) and attempted to replace the commercial carbon black. The phase evaluations of fabricated cathodes have been characterized using X-ray diffraction and it shows no additional peaks from GO-Ag. The morphological and elemental analysis depicts that the joint GO-Ag enwraps the LFP with uniform distribution of elements. The electrochemical profiles corroborate the stable cycleability and better capability. The optimized electrode gives the better initial charge-discharge capacity of ∼155 mAh/g and ∼150 mAh/g at a 0.5C rate, respectively.
