Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Metastable LiFe1-x(VO)xPO4 Cathodes Katharine L. Harrison and Arumugam Manthiram* Electrochemical Energy Laboratory & Mechanical Engineering Program, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States ABSTRACT: Vanadyl ion substituted LiFePO4 cathodes of the form LiFe1-x(VO)xPO4 for 0 e x e 0.25 have been synthesized by a rapid microwave-solvothermal process at
