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. Now, researchers at UCLA have synthesized LiFePO 4 /graphite composites in which LiFePO 4 nanoparticles are grown within a graphite matrix. The graphite matrix is porous, highly conductive, and mechanically robust, giving the resulting electrodes outstanding cycle performance and high rate capability.
