LiFePO 4 /Carbon composite cathode material was prepared using starch as carbon source by spray-pelleting and subsequent pyrolysis in N 2 . The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, Raman, and their electrochemical performance was investigated in terms of cycling behavior. There has a special micro-morphology via the process, which is favorable to electrochemical properties. The discharge capacity of the LiFePO 4 /C composite was 170mAhg −1 , equal to the theoretical specific capacity at 0.1C rate. At 4C current density, the specific capacity was about 80mAhg −1 , which can satisfy for transportation applications if having a more flat discharge flat.
