A novel solvothermal approach combined with high-temperature calcinations was
developed to synthesize on a large scale LiFePO4 microspheres consisting of nanoplates or …

Controlling the dimensions in the nanometer scale of olivine-type LiFePO4 has been
regarded as one of the most effective strategies to improve its electrochemical performance …

Here, we report a new biotemplating method to synthesize hierarchical LiFePO4/C
microstructures using native spirulina as both the carbon source and the template. Owing to …

LiFePO4 has been intensively investigated as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries, as it can
in principle enable the development of high power electrodes. LiFePO4, on the other hand …

Nanoparticle crystalline iron phosphates (FePO 4∙ 2 H 2 O and FePO 4) were synthesized
using a (CTAB) surfactant as an anode material for Li rechargeable batteries. The …

A novel composite electrode structure with highly-conductive 3D nanotube networks
superimposed into interlaced porous LiFePO4 media was designed and realized via an in …

A graphene encapsulated LiFePO4 composite has been synthesized by self-assembly of
surface modified LiFePO4 and graphene oxide with peptide bonds, followed by reduction …
