Monoclinic lithium vanadium phosphate, Li3V2(PO4)3, was synthesized by carbon-thermal reduction (RTC) under Ar atmosphere. The influence of sintering temperatures on the synthesis of Li3V2(PO4)3 has been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and electrochemical methods. XRD patterns show that the Li3V2(PO4)3 compound with monoclinic crystal structure begins to appear at the temperature of less than 900℃. As the temperature was≥900℃, pure monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3 phase can be obtained. SEM results indicate that the particle size of as...
