Abstract
The high-value utilization of manganese ore tail-ings is of great significance for saving mineral resources and achieving environmental protection.Herein,an olivine LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4/rGO composite is synthesized by a simple precipitation method and subsequent high-temperature calci-nation process using the manganese ore tailings as raw material.The prepared LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4/rGO composite exhibits supe-rior cycling stability(with 113.5 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 1.0C(1.0C=170 mA·g-1))and superior rate performance(with 65.6 mAh·g-1 at 10.0C).Ex-situ XRD and electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)analyses evidence that the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4/rGO material has excellent structural sta-bility and electrochemical reversibility during charge and dis-charge processes.Furthermore,the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4/rGO//graphite full Li-ion battery also exhibits excellent cycling stability indicating its potential commercialization value.
