Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries
describes the synthesis and the chemical–physical characteristics of iron phosphates, and presents methods of making LiFePO4 a suitable cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.
The author studies carbon’s ability to increase conductivity and to decrease material grain size, as well as investigating the electrochemical behaviour of the materials obtained.
also proposes a model to explain lithium insertion/extraction in LiFePO4 and to predict voltage profiles at various discharge rates.
is written for postgraduate students and researchers in electrochemistry, R&D professionals and experts in electrochemical storage.
