Low-cost LiFePO₄using Fe metal precursor

Flower-like LiMnPO4 hierarchical microstructures assembled from single-crystalline nanosheets for lithium-ion batteries

“…Among a variety of known low temperature synthesis routes, the solvothermal route has proven to be very promising as it is an easy method for controlling crystal growth dynamics, thereby leading to the production of nanomaterials with controlled particle sizes and enhanced physicochemical properties. 30 In this paper, we report a facile template free solvothermal approach to synthesize LiMnPO 4 microspheres consisting of nanoplates with an open 3D porous microstructure. Influential factors including reaction time and solvent on the formation of such flower-like LiMnPO 4 nanostructures have been systematically investigated, and possible growth mechanisms are also proposed.…”

Mass production of LiFePO4/C energy materials using Fe–P waste slag

“…As the clean energy, Lithium ion batteries (LIB) using LiFePO 4 as the cathode materials have attracted great attentions due to its excellent electrochemical performance, which exhibit the capability to become the power sources for modern electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles [1][2][3][4]. However, the low electronic conductivity and the poor ionic diffusivity [5,6] greatly limit the application of LiFePO 4 . Reducing the LiFePO 4 particle & grain size to shorten the Li ion diffusion path is one attractive approach to improve Li ion diffusivity [7,8].…”

Electrochemical Behavior of Surface-Fluorinated Cathode Materials for Lithium Ion Battery

“…However, the low electric conductivity and low diffusion coefficient of Li + are the main shortcomings that limit its application in industry. Extensive efforts have been performed to improve its electrochemical performance over decades, which can be classified into the following categories: particle size/shape optimizing [1][2][3][4][5][6], metal doping [7], and mixing with the electronically conductive materials like carbon, metal, and metal oxide [8][9][10]. Among these methods used for improving electrochemical properties of LiFePO 4 , carbon coating is one of the most frequently used techniques to improve the specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling life [11,12].…”
