LiFePO4 cathode material was synthesized by CO reducing FePO4 and LiOH precursors. The structure, morphology and electrochemical performances of such LiFePO4 material were characterized by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge tests. It was shown that the particle size of the LiFePO4 synthesized with 5% excess of LiOH in the precursor was about 200 nm. By carbon coating, the LiFePO4 electrode was able to deliver a reversible capacity of 158 mAh. g^-1 at 0.1C discharge rate. Temperature-programmed X-ray diffraction was employed to monitor the reaction during the formation of LiFePO4, and Li3 Fe2 ( PO4 ) 3 was found to be an intermediate by analyzing the time-resolved XRD patterns. Kinetic study indicates that nucleation and their growth is the rate-determining step in the process of the reaction and the activation energy of this reaction was 89.44 k J/mol.
