UCLA team uses graphite to boost performance of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials

Green Car Congress

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) is widely used as a low-cost, safer cathode material for Li-ion batteries; however, low ionic and electronic conductivity limit its rate performance. The approach provides a new strategy toward low-cost, long-life, and high-power batteries, the researchers concluded.
