Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries

Download or read book Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries written by Pier Paolo Prosini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-31 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries also proposes a model to explain lithium insertion/extraction in LiFePO4 and to predict voltage profiles at various discharge rates. Iron Phosphate Materials as Cathodes for Lithium Batteries is written for postgraduate students and researchers in electrochemistry, R&D professionals and experts in electrochemical storage.
