Effect of spray pyrolysis temperature on physical and electrochemical properties of LiCoPO4/C nanocomposites

► A novel preparation route was developed for LiCoPO4/C nanocomposites. ► LiCoPO4/C nanocomposites were agglomerates with approximately 100 nm primary particles. ► The physical structure of LiCoPO4/C is affected by spray pyrolysis temperature. ► The physical structure of LiCoPO4/C is a key factor on its battery performance.
