To improve the rate performance of LiFePO_4 cathode material,LiFePO_(4 )nanoplates were synthesized via one-step glycol-based solvothermal process.Additionally,carbon was employed to coat LiFePO_4 with glucose served as carbon source.The morphologies and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared materials were characterized by XRD,BET,SEM,TEM,cyclic voltammetry,etc.Results showed that LiFePO_(4 )nanoplates had the size of approximately 150 nm×100 nm×60 nm,displaying a short b-axis.The rate performance o...
