Porous LiMnPO₄ and LiMnPO₄/MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotube) composites were prepared using a citric acid assisted sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms (BET), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to characterize their morphologies and structures. The results indicated that fine-sized, well-crystallized olivine LiMnPO₄ was synthesized. The interlaced carbon nanotube networks were intimately embedded and incorporated into the porous LiMnPO₄ particle to form highlyconductive three-dimensional (3D) networks. The LiMnPO₄ particle and LiMnPO₄/MWCNT composite had rich hierarchical pores. A detailed analysis showed that the average pore size was in the mesoporous range and specific surface areas of 73.7 and 69.9 m2·g^-1 were obtained, respectively. Compared with the LiMnPO₄ particle the LiMnPO₄/MWCNT composite exhibited much higher specific capacity. When discharged at a rate of 0.05C and 2C the capacities were 108.8 and 33.2 mAh·g^-1, respectively. The MWCNT effectively improved the electronic conductivity of the hybrid materials as shown by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The improved electrochemical performance of the LiMnPO₄/MWCNT electrode is attributed to the enhanced electrical conductivity caused by the tighter binding of the carbon nanotubes with the LiMnPO₄ primary particles as well as by the interconnected open pores with a high surface area.
