Mesoporous composite of LiFePO4 and carbon microspheres as positive-electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries

- Mesoporous composite of LiFePO4 nanoparticles and carbon microspheres was fabricated.
- LiFePO4 nanoparticles were uniformly coated with carbon in mesoporous composites.
- High initial discharge capacity was reached for the composites as positive-electrode materials.
- The fabricated composites had high rate capability and good cycling stability.
