Abstract: Spherical LiFePO4 /C  doped with Mg2+ (namely LiMgx Fe1-x PO4 /C) was prepared by means of the spray drying-carbonthermal reduction,with citric acid,ferrous oxalate and magnesium acetate as the carbon source,the iron source and the magnesium source,respectively.Then,the effects of Mg2+ doping on the structure and electrochemical performance of the prepared LiFePO4 /C material were investigated.The results indicate that (1) LiMgx Fe1-x PO4 /C possesses a hollow ball-shaped structure and a high specific capacity; (2) the crystal struc- ture of lithium iron phosphate keeps unchanged at a low Mg2+ dosage; and (3) LiMg0.04 Fe0.96 PO4 /C possesses the best charge/discharge performance.For instance,its initial discharge capacities are 149. 0,145. 6,141. 3,132. 6 and 123. 3mAh/g at the rates of 0. 2C,0. 5C,1. 0C,2. 0C and 5. 0 C,respectively; and the capacity retention ra- tio of LiMg0.04 Fe0.96 PO4 /C at 1. 0C keeps more than 97. 3% after 100 charge-discharge cycles.
