Wide-spread and extended applications of Li-ion secondary batteries necessitate the development of advanced electrode materials with exceptional electrochemical performances, which mostly depends on the cathode materials. LiFePO₄ (LFP) has been extensively considered as promising cathode materials due to its high stability,abundance and environmentally friendliness.Herein, a simple solution combustion technique is developed to prepare single phase LFP material with submicron particles. The XPS studies ascertain + 2 and + 5 oxidation states of Fe and P, respectively. The cyclic voltammetry of LiFePO₄ reveals redox mechanism of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺. The LiFePO₄ delivers specific capacity of 106 mAh g⁻¹ for 1st cycle with 96.36% coulombic efficiency.Moreover, the presence of graphene oxide (GO), in LFP/GO composite, control the growth and agglomeration of LiFePO₄. On evaluation, LFP/GO shows superior electrochemical performance possessing the specific capacity of 162 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, owing to the effective conducting network formed by GO reducing Li-ion diffusion path for LiFePO₄.
