High performance porous LiMnPO4 nanoflakes: synthesis from a novel nanosheet precursor†
Abstract
Micro-sized porous LiMnPO4 nanoflakes constituted by interconnected small-sized LiMnPO4 nanocrystals were synthesized using the novel precursor of (C2N2H10)Mn2(PO4)2·2H2O nanosheets through a facile process. After carbon coating, the LiMnPO4–C presents promising electrochemical properties. The strategy described in this work could be helpful for practical applications of LiMnPO4.
