Abstract

The $LiFePO_4$ as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries was synthesized by the solid-state reaction using ballmiller and employed one step heat treatment at $650^{\circ}C$. The influence of the heating time on the structure, particle size and cycle performance was investigated. $LiFePO_4$ heated at $650^{\circ}C$ for 3 h exhibited higher discharge capacity of 140 mAh/g and excellent cycle performance.
