LiFePO4/C was prepared via solid state reaction and characterized with X-ray powder diffraction and charge–discharge test. As-prepared LiFePO4/C has a triphylite structure and exhibits an excellent rate capability and capacity retention. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to investigate LixFePO4/C (0<x<1) electrode on temperature variation. The valid equivalent circuit for EIS fitting was determined which contains an intercalation capacitance for Li+ ion accumulation and consumption in the electrode reaction. The surface layer impedance needs to be included in the equivalent circuit when LiFePO4/C is deeply delithiated at a relatively high temperature. EIS examination indicates that a temperature rise leads to a better reversibility, lower charge transfer resistance, higher exchange current densityJ0 and greater Li+ ion diffusion coefficient for the LixFePO4/C electrode process. The Li+ ion concentration in LixFePO4/C is potential to impact the Li+ ion diffusion coefficient, and a decrease in the former results in an increase in the latter.
