The high demand and market monopoly of lithium iron phosphate batteries lead to the increasing price of raw materials.Herein,in this work,LiFePO4/C powder was prepared by iron phosphate process with the rusty red and spent Li foil as raw materials,and its electrochemical Li-storage performance was tested.The results showed that LiFePO4/C powder was composed of particles with a size range of 110~400nm.After 350 cycles at 1.0C,the corresponding reversible specific capacity and capacity retention were 129.7mAh/g and 98.0%,respectively,which were comparable to those of commercial LiFePO4 cathode materials.Obviously,these results reduced the preparation cost of LiFePO4,which was beneficial for the circular economy and sustainable development.
