LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 is becoming one of the most promising cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. However, the capacity suffers from a loss during long-term cycling, which is directly associated with Mn dissolution due to the disproportionation reaction of Mn3+. Here, we report a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach to modify LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 particles with carbon so as to minimize Mn dissolution from cathode. The deposited carbon layer not only protects LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 cathode from electrolyte corrosion, but also enhances the electronic/ionic conductivity owing to its higher graphitize degree. As a consequence, the electrochemical performances have a significant improvement. The capacity retention achieves 96% after 450 cycles at 1 C at room temperature (25 degrees C). Even at elevated temperature (55 degrees C), the capacity retention also reaches at 97 % after 50 cycles at 1 C rate, which is much higher than that of untreated sample (89%). Hence, the cathode material based on LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 encapsulated with durable carbon by CVD method represents a promising strategy for developing its long-term cycling performance through suppressing Manganese dissolution.
