There are many literature about the construction issues of LiFePO4’s carbon coating, of which is difficult to figure out the relevant details. However, the rate-discharge and cyclic performances are important for lithium-ion battery materials. Thus we conducted tests on the rate-discharge and cyclic performances to tell the differences between the functions of element-type and compound-type carbon sources and, in the mean time, to study the effects of carbon content as well as carbonization condition. The effects of element-type carbon sources (i.e., graphite nanopowder and acetylene black) and compound-type carbon sources (i.e., hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyethyleneglycol 2000 and glucose) on the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/C were investigated. The bench research produced following results. The overall performances of glucose and graphite nanopowder are better than other carbon sources. In the case of using a certain carbon source, both carbon content and calcinations temperature have much more significant effects on the materials’ high-rate performances than their low-rate performances. In the case of using a certain carbon content and a certain calcinations temperature, the factor of carbon source has effects to some extent on the initial low-rate performances of LiFePO4/C composites, has a little more significant effects on their low-rate cyclic performances, and has very significant effects on their high-rate performances.
