Researchers Shed Light on Workings of Lithium Iron Phosphate Cathode Materials

Posted on August 01, 2008

The lithium iron phosphate nanoparticles (100 nm) making up the agglomerate are individually transformed though the domino-cascade process as the battery is charged.Lithium iron phosphate is one of the promising cathode materials for use in next-generation lithium-ion batteries, given its environmentally friendly properties, lower cost and good thermal stability. With these batteries, lithium intercalation (the extraction and insertion of lithium ions from and into the electrode materials that is the basis for charge/discharge cycles) proceeds through a two-phase reaction between composi...
