Abstract

Hybrid materials composed of LiMPO₄ (M = Fe or Co) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) were synthesized by tethering lithium phosphoolevins on isolated stochastically disordered MWCNTs as well as on ordered 3D MWCNT arrays via solution based impregnation routes. Ordered 3D arrays of MWCNT monoliths comprising MWCNTs with nominal tube diameters of 60 and 200 nm were synthesized by a catalyst free, template based method, with porous aluminum oxide (PAOX) acting as a template. Consecutive selectiveetching processes gave free standing aligned 3D carbon nanotube (CNT) architectures that were used as supporting cathode structures for electroactive LiCoPO ₄. LiCoPO₄ nanoparticle suspensions derived from an ethanol based organic phosphate source turned out to be superior for the tethering of LiCoPO₄ nanoparticles onto the 3D aligned CNT arrays compared to an aqueous based tethering route, thus giving hybrid materials with better electrochemical battery performance compared to materials generated by the latter method. Li ion extraction within the ordered 3D CNT/LiCoPO ₄ composites seems to be a two-step process and the Li intercalation a one-step process, highlighting the enhanced kinetics of the Li insertion process in the 3D CNT/Li_xCoPO₄ composite in comparison to a particulate mixture of Li_xCoPO₄ that is typically present in a conventional carbon/LiCoPO₄ cathode composite system.
