Ion dynamics in nanocrystalline LiMnPO4 synthesised by novel template free hydrothermal approach

Abstract

A dense core rectangular shaped nanocrystalline LiMnPO4 material was synthesized by template free sucrose assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The material possess orthorhombic crystal structure with Pnma, space group having four formula units. The structural characterization was accomplished through X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetry/differential thermal analysis. Morphology was identified by the SEM, VSM was used to verify the magnetic behavior of the material and electrical characterization was done through impedance spectroscopy and the results were reported. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
