However, it suffers from certain disadvantages such as low intrinsic electronic conductivity and low ionic diffusion. This study was conducted to analyse the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/Li2SiO3 composite. This composite was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurement identified the O-P-O, Fe-O, P-O, and O-Si-O bands in the LiFePO4/Li2SiO3 composite. X-ray diffraction measurement confirmed the formation of LiFePO4. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy confirmed the number of rGO layers. Further, scanning electron microscopy images showed that rGO was distributed around the LiFePO4/Li2SiO3 particles. Finally, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed that the addition of 1 wt% of rGO to the LiFePO4/Li2SiO3 composite reduced charge transfer resistance. It may be concluded that the addition of 1 wt% rGO to LiFePO4/Li2SiO3 composite can enhance its electrochemical performance as a cathode material.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cath-ode materials,Charge transfer resistance,Composited,Electrochemical performance,LiFePO4,Reduced graphene oxides (RGO),Scanning electron microscopy image,X-ray diffraction measurements[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cathode material,Composited,Graphene,LiFePO4/Li2SiO3[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and the Program Penelitian Unggulan Perguruan Tinggi (Desentralisasi) 2016 research fund.
