Engendering High Energy Density LiFePO Electrodes with Morphological and Compositional Tuning.

Improving the energy density of Li-ion batteries is critical to meet the requirements of electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In this work, LiFePO active material was combined with single-walled carbon nanotubes as the conductive additive to develop high-energy-density cathodes for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The effect of the morphology of the active material particles on the cathodes' electrochemical characteristics was investigated.
