Abstract

We present the properties of the carbon layer deposited at the surface of the LiFePO4 particles. Characterizations include scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Raman scattering spectroscopy. Analuysis of Raman spectra reveals that the carbon deposit is hydrogenated with very small hydrogen/carbon ratio, so that it belongs to the family of the amorphous graphitic carbon. It is expected to have the same properties (small hardness, high electronic conductivity) that favor both the Li diffusion from the LiFePO4 bulk and the charge-discharge rate of the cell.
