Novel efficient synthesis of nanosized carbon coated LiMnPO4 composite for lithium ion batteries and its electrochemical performance

A novel efficient synthesis process was developed involving mechano-chemical reaction between Mn and LiH2PO4 and the addition of PVA as carbon source for synthesis nano LiMnPO4/C composite material. The obtained composites displaying good rate capability and cyclic stability with an excellent discharge plateau around 4.0 V vs. Li/Li+.
