Li3V2(PO4)3 cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries : a review
The principal challenges facing the development of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for hybrid electric/plug-in-hybrid (HEV/PHEV) vehicles and for off-peak energy storage are cost, safety, cell energy density (voltage × capacity), rate of charge/discharge, and service life. There are exciting developm...

| Summary: | The principal challenges facing the development of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) for hybrid
electric/plug-in-hybrid (HEV/PHEV) vehicles and for off-peak energy storage are cost, safety, cell energy density
(voltage × capacity), rate of charge/discharge, and service life. There are exciting developments in new positive
electrode (cathode) materials to replace the LiCoO2 for use in the LIBs over the past decade. Monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3
(LVP) with promising electrochemical properties including excellent cycling stability, high theoretical capacity (197
mAh g-1), low synthetic cost, improved safety characteristic, and low environmental impact emerges as highly suitable
candidate. In this review, we focus on research work related to the LVP and discuss its host structure, mechanism of
lithium insertion/extraction, transport properties (i.e., electronic conductivity, and lithium diffusion), synthesis and
electrochemical properties. We highlight some recent development of LVP, which shows superior cycling stability and
high rate capability and give some vision for the future research of LVP based electrode. |
