1Introduction The novel cathode material LiFePO4 for lithium ion battery is considered as the substitute of LiCoO2 because of its high theoretical capacity, environmental benignancy and inexpensive cost[1,2]. But it is restricted by its low conductivity, the traditional ways to improve are carbon coating[3,4] and heteroatom doping[5-7].In this paper, we introduced the Zn as heteroatom and investigated the improvement by Zn doping.
