“…In recent years, Li(Ni x Mn y Co z )O 2 (with x + y + z = 1) (NCM) − and LiFePO 4 − are two main types of cathode materials that have been studied intensively in the energy storage field. The NCM cathode generally suffers from structural instability and detrimental side reaction due to the severe transition-metal dissolution, which results in a quick capacity fading and insufficient rate capability. , With regard to the LiFePO 4 cathode, the shortcoming is that its discharge plateau (3.4 V vs Li + /Li) is relatively low. ,, Therefore, a large number of single batteries required in a series battery pack would inevitably increases the internal resistance and weight of the battery pack, which limits the applications of LiFePO 4 in high energy storage system. Considering the aforementioned inadequacies of the NCM and LiFePO 4 cathode materials, the polyanion compound LiVPO 4 F has emerged to be an alternative for LIBs. − It not only has a good thermal and structural stability but also exhibits a high discharge plateau (4.23 V vs Li + /Li) and theoretical energy density (660 Wh kg –1 ). ,,, The triclinic LiVPO 4 F is composed by a three-dimensional framework that comprises a PO 4 tetrahedra and VO 4 F 2 octahedra; − therefore, it possesses a congenital advantage of internal lithium-ion diffusion.…”
