Abstract
In the recent years, LiFePO4 has been widely developed as a cathode for lithium ion batteries because it has high theoretical capacity (170 mAh/g), good stability and is also environmentally friendly. However, the poor electronic conductivity (~10-9 S/cm) and low diffusion coefficient of lithium ion (~10-15-10-14 cm2/s) are limiting its application. Some solutions to overcome this problem are carbon coating and doping metal ions. This study aims to determine the effect of Gd3+ ion doping on the electronic conductivity of LiFePO4/C. The synthesis method was used is carbothermal reduction with Fe2O3, Gd2O3, LiH2PO4 and carbon black reagents. The synthesized LiFe1-xGdxPO4/C was characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS, and four point probes. The results obtained showed that gadolinium ion doping increased the conductivity of LiFePO4/C from 1.8952 x10-6 to 8.69x10-6 Scm-1 using 0.07 mol ion Gd3+.
