The F-doped LiFePO₄ material was prepared through a simple solvothermal method by applying hydrofluoric acid as the source of fluorine. The obtained LiFePO3.85F0.15 at 0.1 C and 10 C delivered a higher capacity of 153.185 and 81.972 mAh · g-1 compared with LiFePO₄ at 0.1 C and 10 C (143.351 and 48.707 mAh·g-1).
