Abstract

An easy and low-cost synthesis of monoclinic Li₂FeSiO₄ based on a carbothermal process and a short-time preliminary milling of a reactant mixture in a planetary mill was investigated. Monoclinic Li₂FeSiO₄/C is prepared using Fe³⁺ (Fe₂O₃) as a precursor. For this purpose, commercial hematite and one obtained through a green route were used. This material is studied and compared with Li₂FeSiO₄ obtained using Fe²⁺ (FeC₂O₄·2H₂O) as a precursor. In all cases, citric acid was used as a reducing agent and as an in situ conductive additive. Mössbauer spectroscopy was used as the central technique in this study.
