Cathode material LiFePO4 of lithium-ion battery was synthesized by microwave heating. The "carbon-included" LiFePO4 with improved conductivity was synthesized by the addition of graphite. And the influence of microwave-heating time on structure, morphology and charge/discharge performance of the products was discussed. The results of XRD, SEM, XPS, CV and charge/discharge testing measurements showed that the LiFePO4 product after 9 min in microwave oven had more advantages than other products.
