The effect of synthesis parameters on the lithium storage performance of LiMnPO4/C

- An architecture featuring carbon coated, interconnected nano-grains was constructed with mesopores for LiMnPO4/C cathodes.
- Mesoporous LiMnPO4/C delivers 140 mAh g−1 at 0.05 C, one of the best storage performances in galvanostatic charge/discharge mode.
- Interdependence of storage performance on carbon, milling time, grain size, surface area, pore size and pore volume is elucidated.
- Feasible full cell operation with Li4Ti5O12/C anode.
