Table of contents entry To fully exploit the properties of graphene as an electrode material for energy storage devices, it is important to prevent the restacking of graphene sheets. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) micro-spherical LiFePO4/graphene composites were synthesized while avoiding the restacking of graphene sheets using a scalable, facile, and simple spray-drying process and a subsequent heat treatment. In this system, the LiFePO4 nanoparticles acted not only as the active material but also as the spacer between the graphene sheets. To determine an optimal condition for preventing the restacking of graphene sheets in the composites, we controlled the weight ratio of LiFePO4 to graphene. During this process, the degree of restacking of graphene sheets in the composites had a significant effect on their morphology and electrochemical properties. The 3D LiFePO4/graphene microspheres were micrometer-sized spherical assemblies with 100 nm-sized LiFePO4 nanoparticles and graphene sheets. The microspheres exhibited a high specific capacity of 163mAhg−1 at 0.1 C-rate, excellent rate capability (65% of the initial discharge capacity (0.1 C-rate) at 30 C-rate), and good cycling stability (81.6% capacity retention after 1000 cycles). | |
