High performance cathode active material for lithium ion battery

Abstract

A cathode active material for use in high-performance lithium-ion battery, is disclosed. The cathode active material comprises a lithium iron phosphate/sulfonated graphene oxide (LFP/SG) nanocomposite material. The molar ratio of sulfonated graphene oxide (SG) to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in the cathode active material is 0.1:1. The cathode active material is synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The high-performance lithium-ion battery comprises an anode plate, a cathode plate, a separator between the anode plate and the cathode plate, and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The cathode plate is composed of a layer of cathode active material, and the cathode active material is lithium iron phosphate/sulfonated graphene oxide (LFP/SG) nanocomposite material. The lithium iron phosphate/sulfonated graphene oxide (LFP/SG) nanocomposite material used for lithium-ion battery possess high rate capability, capacity and cycle stability.
