LiFePO4 Cathode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries Lü Zhengzhong, Zhou Zhentao (College of Material Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510641) 9Abstract Research progress in recent years on the preparation, modification, how to control crystal size, relationship between structure and performance, and prospect of olivine-type lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4 cathode materials for the lithium-ion batteries was reviewed. Particle size and its distribution, ionic and electronic conductivity, and the content of Fe(Ⅲ) have much effect on the performance of the samples. The use of inert gas, the addition of conductive dope, and the control of crystal size to gain nano-powder are the useful way to improve the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4.
