Abstract

$LiFePO_4$ doped with Cr showed improved electrochemical properties as a cathode material of lithium-ion batteries compared to the undoped. The improvement was thought that the doping would raise the electronic conductivity of the compounds. The electrical conductivity of $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}B_{0.005}PO_4$ and $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ powder was measured in the temperature range from 30 to $80^{\circ}C$. The doped powders were synthesized via mechanochemical milling and subsequent heat treatment at 675~$750^{\circ}C$ for 5~10h. The doping enhanced grain growth and electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of the $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ powder at $30^{\circ}C$ was $1{\times}10^{-8}S/cm$, which was higher two orders of magnitude than that of the undoped.

크롬이 도핑된 $LiFePO_4$ 분말이 도핑되지 않은 것보다 이차전지용 양극활물질로서 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 향상은 도핑에 의해서 양극활물질의 전자전도도가 높아지기 때문인 것으로 생각되고 있다. 크롬과 또 하나의 전형원소가 도핑된 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}B_{0.005}PO_4$와 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$의 전기전도도를 30에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 측정하였다. 도핑된 분말은 유성밀에 의한 기계화학적 혼합을 한 후 675~$750^{\circ}C$에서 5~10시간 열처리하여 합성하였다. 이러한 도핑은 분말의 전기전도도를 높이고 입자 성장을 촉진시켰다. 크롬과 알루미늄이 도핑된 $LiFe_{0.965}Cr_{0.03}Al_{0.005}PO_4$ 분말의 $30^{\circ}C$에서의 전기전도도는 $1{\times}10^{-8}S/cm$이었으며, 이 값은 도핑하지 않은 것보다 두 자릿수 높은 값 이었다.
