“…So far, several materials, such as LiCoO 2 and LiMn 2 O 4 , have been used as cathode, but recently LiFePO 4 has attracted researchers’ interest due to its high specific energy, which may reach 580 Wh/kg, and relatively low production cost [9,10,11,12,13,14]. As a drawback, LiFePO 4 has low ionic diffusivity and conductibility [15,16,17], which limits its use as cathode. The electronic conductibility of LiFePO 4 can be enhanced by using several materials processing methods such as in situ carbon synthesis, or by particle coating with conductive carbons [18], or by an ion doping approach [19,20,21,22,23,24].…”
