Abstract
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) has become one of the most widely used cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The inferior lithium-ion diffusion rate of LFP crystals always incurs poor rate capability and unsatisfactory low-temperature performances. To meet with the requirements from the ever-growing market, it is of great significance to synthesize carbon supported LFP nanocomposite (LFP/C) cathode materials using cost effective and environmentally friendly methods. In this work, an LFP/C cathode material is straightforwardly prepared from a metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor ferric gallate (Fe-GA) using its self-template effect. The Fe-GA precursor is firstly fabricated from the redox coprecipitation reaction between Fe foils and gallic acid (GA) molecules in mild aqueous phase. Then the Fe-GA is directly converted to the LFP/C sample after a following solid-state reaction. In half-cells, the LFP/C composite exhibits a reversible capacity of 109.7 mAh·g-1 after 500 cycles under the current rate of 100 mA·g-1 at 25 °C as well as good rate capabilities. In the LFP/C//graphite full-cells, the LFP/C composite can deliver a reversible capacity of 71.4 mAh·g-1 after 50 cycles in the same condition as the half-cells. The electrochemical performances of the LFP/C cathode in half-cells at lower temperature of -10 °C are also examined. Particularly, the evolution of samples has been explored and the lithium-ion storage mechanism of the LFP/C cathode has been unveiled. The sample synthesis protocol is straightforward, eco-friendly and atomic efficient, which can be considered to have good potential for scaling-up.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 650:1958-1965.

Abstract
A facile method for synthesizing carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) and an LFP-based multidimensional nanocarbon composite to enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries is presented herein. Three types of cathode materials are prepared: carbon-coated LFP (LC), carbon-coated LFP with carbon nanotubes (LC@C), and carbon-coated LFP with carbon nanotubes/graphene quantum dots (LC@CG). The electrochemical performances of the LC-nanocarbon composites are compared, and both LC@C and LC@CG show improved electrochemical performance than LC. Compared with both the LC and LC@C electrodes, the LC@CG electrode exhibits the highest specific capacity of 107.1 mA h g-1 under 20C of current density, as well as higher capacities and greater stability over all measured current densities. Moreover, after 300 charge-discharge cycles, the LC@CG electrode exhibits the best stability than the LC and LC@C electrodes. This is attributable to the graphene quantum dots, which enhance the morphological stability of the LC@CG electrode during electrochemical measurements. Our findings suggest that LFP-nanocarbon composites are promising as cathode materials and highlight the potential of graphene quantum dots for improving the stability of cathodes.

Abstract
The performance of electrode materials in lithium-ion (Li-ion), sodium-ion (Na-ion) and related batteries depends not only on their chemical composition but also on their microstructure. The choice of a synthesis method is therefore of paramount importance. Amongst the wide variety of synthesis or shaping routes reported for an ever-increasing panel of compositions, spray-drying stands out as a versatile tool offering demonstrated potential for up-scaling to industrial quantities. In this review, we provide an overview of the rapidly increasing literature including both spray-drying of solutions and spray-drying of suspensions. We focus, in particular, on the chemical aspects of the formulation of the solution/suspension to be spray-dried. We also consider the post-processing of the spray-dried precursors and the resulting morphologies of granules. The review references more than 300 publications in tables where entries are listed based on final compound composition, starting materials, sources of carbon etc.
