Li₃V₂(PO₄) 3- x  Br  x  /carbon ( x = 0.08, 0.14, 0.20, and 0.26) composites as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries were prepared through partially substituting PO₄ 3- with Br - , via a rheological phase reaction method. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical properties were evaluated by charge/discharge cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). XRD results reveal that the Li₃V₂(PO₄) 3- x  Br  x  /carbon composites with solid solution phase are well crystallized and have the same monoclinic structure as the pristine Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon composite. It is indicated by SEM images that the Li₃V₂(PO₄) 3- x  Br  x  /carbon composites possess large and irregular particles, with an increasing Br - content. Among the Li₃V₂(PO₄) 3- x  Br  x  /carbon composites, the Li₃V₂(PO₄) 2.86 Br 0.14 /carbon composite shows the highest initial discharge capacity of 178.33 mAh·g -1 at the current rate of 30 mA·g -1 in the voltage range of 4.8-3.0 V, and the discharge capacity of 139.66 mAh·g -1 remains after 100 charge/discharge cycles. Even if operated at the current rate of 90 mA·g -1 , Li₃V₂(PO₄) 2.86 Br 0.14 /carbon composite still releases the initial discharge capacity of 156.57 mAh·g -1 , and the discharge capacity of 123.3 mAh·g -1 can be maintained after the same number of cycles, which is beyond the discharge capacity and cycleability of the pristine Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon composite. EIS results imply that the Li₃V₂(PO₄) 2.86 Br 0.14 /carbon composite demonstrates a decreased charge transfer resistance and preserves a good interfacial compatibility between solid electrode and electrolyte solution, compared with the pristine Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/carbon composite upon cycling.
