Phospho-Olivine as Advanced Cathode Material for Lithium Batteries

Nano-sized and micron-sized LiFePO4 electrode materials were prepared by a sol gel and coprecipitation reactions. An improvement of the cycling and rate performances in lithium cells was observed for the carbon coated LiFePO4 materials. The coating process uses a solid/gas-phase reaction which consists of decomposing propylene gas, as carbon source, inside a reactor containing olivine LiFePO4 m...
