Electrochemical Kinetics of LiFePO Cathode Material in Non-flammable Inorganic Liquid Electrolyte.

We unveil the fundamental insights of electrochemical kinetics of LFP cathode material and the passivation layer formation in the SO-based non-flammable inorganic liquid electrolyte (IE). The influence of temperature and electrochemical potential cutoff in the electrochemical activity of LFP cathode and IE is disclosed. Furthermore, the materials compatibility, structural and chemical stability of LFP in IE is demonstrated using very slow galvanostatic cycling in combination with LiFePO4||LiFePO symmetric cells.
