| Abstract: | 1 Introduction LiFePO4 has received much attention as a kind of next-generation cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. To improve its electrochemical performance, researchers have been working to overcome two major disadvantages of LiFePO4 such as the low electrical conductivity and the small Li-ion diffusivity. The latter can be solved by reducing the particle size while the former can be improved by coating a layer of carbon on the surface of LiFePO4 particles1]. More researchers have carried o... |
