Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries with Li3V2(PO4)3/C as the cathode have been a popular research topic in recent years; however, studies of the effects of external magnetic fields on them are less common. This study investigates the effects of an external magnetic field applied parallel to the direction of the anode and cathode on the ion transport through iron-doped Li3(V1-xFex)2(PO4)3, the outer carbon coating, the film/electrolyte/separator, and up to the lithium metal electrode on a microscopic level. The results reveal that for the x = 0.05 sample with lower doping, the magnetostriction expansion of Li3(V1-xFex)2(PO4)3 and the magnetostrictive contraction effect of the outer ordered carbon layer cancel each other out, resulting in no significant enhancement of the battery’s energy and power density due to the external magnetic field. In contrast, the x = 0.1 sample, lacking magnetostrictive contraction in the outer ordered carbon layer, shows that its energy and power density can be influenced by the magnetic field. Under zero magnetic field, the cyclic performance exhibits superior average capacity performance in the x = 0.05 sample, while the x = 0.1 sample shows a lower decay rate. Both samples are affected by the magnetic field; however, the x = 0.1 sample performs better under magnetic conditions. In particular, in the C-rate tests under a magnetic field, the sample with x = 0.1 showed a significant relative reduction in capacity decay rate by 20.18% compared to the sample with x = 0.05.
