“…The authors reasoned that the disparity between the two materials may exist because of a pseudocapacitive effect in the mesocrystalline LFP imparted by its nanosized component. Similarly shaped LiFePO 4 mesocrystals formed through several other routes have been reported as well [138,139]. …”

Lithium-ion batteries are a well-established technology that has seen steady gains in performance based on materials chemistry as well as microstructure design and assembly over the past several decades. There are many material selections available when designing and assembling the device such as electro-active species, additives, and particle size/morphology to name a few. Many of the research proclamations focusing on the advantages of nanosized electrodes have yet to find commercial application, and considerable improvements in energy density and stability are still necessary in order to achieve energy storage parity. Therefore, the design and use of kinetically stabilized nanostructures should be considered. Over the past several years, significant studies have been conducted examining the synthesis and performance of heterogeneous structures. While heterogeneous structures typically refer to the combination of two or more materials, in this case it refers to architectures displaying more than one size scale (i.e., micro/nano). A great deal of recent efforts have focused on the formation and understanding of nanoparticle superstructures with a vast range of architectures. The design of microstructurally composed nanoparticle assemblies would, for instance, possess the

“…Hierarchical dumbbell-shaped LiFePO4 crystals were successfully fabricated via a simple one-step, rapid, additive-free solvothermal route. The LiFePO4 crystals showed an improved electrochemical property at higher rates and good cyclic performance [122]. The porous frameworks with a single-crystalline feature are highly effective for enhancing the electrochemical performance of electrodes of lithium-ion batteries.…”

Generally, mesocrystals are known to be biological and bio-inspired mesoscale structures consisting of oriented nanometric crystalline units. In this article, mesocrystals are broadly categorized in a new family of crystalline materials as intermediate states between single crystals and polycrystals regardless of their unit size and degree of crystalline order. Here, the formation routes and the specific properties of a variety of mesocrystals and their related structures are described. Moreover, the potential of the novel crystalline materials having a high crystallinity and a high specific surface area is presented on the basis of their functions.
