Abstract: Many traditional methods used to synthesize LiFePO4 (LFP for short) have the disadvantages of long reaction time or unavoidable oxidation of Fe2+.In this work,the combustion method was developed to facilely synthesize LFP by using ferrous sulfate,diammonium hydrogen phosphate and lithium nitrate as main raw materials.The synthesized LFP was characterized by XRD and TG-DSC.The results showed that the combustion method could facilely synthesize purer LFP at 600 ℃ in a short period without the protection of inert gas.The studies on combustion mechanism indicated that from 120 ℃ to 290 ℃ the organic citric acid in the dry gel was combusted which could lead to a self-propagating combustion reaction and bring in carbon preventing the oxidation of Fe2+ simultaneously.And  φ=n(CA)/n(LFP)=2 is the best amount of citric acid to synthesize LFP materials.
