Carbon coated triclinic LiVPO4F samples are synthesized by annealing the precursor obtained through a soft chemical route with mechanical activation assist. The V(+5) is reduced to V(+3) by oxalic acid dehydrate during ball milling process, and green slurry of amorphous Li–V–PO4–F is obtained. When the temperature rises to 550°C, the precursor starts crystallizing and good crystal of pure-phase LiVPO4F can be obtained at 550–650°C. But Li3V2(PO4)3impurity is observed in samples fired at temperature above 700°C because of the volatilization of HF gas in the presence of moisture at high temperature. Charge–discharge tests show that the sample sintered at 700°C exhibits the best electrochemical performance, delivering the initial discharge capacity of 136 at 0.1C rate and 123mAhg−1at 1C rate. Even at 5C rate, the discharge capacity remains 107mAhg−1and keeps 95.3% after 100 cycles. EIS analysis shows that it possesses smaller impedance than other samples. The apparent chemical coefficient of lithium ions in the prepared sample is evaluated by cyclic voltammetry.
