We present a review of the structural, physical, and chemical properties of both the bulk and the surface layer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as a positive electrode for Li-ion batteries. Depending on the mode of preparation, different impurities can poison this material.
... At this time, the more promising materials for the positive (cathode) electrode of lithium ion batteries (LIB) in terms of electrochemical properties and safety has been the lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4 (LPF), powders.
In 2017, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) was the most extensively utilized cathode electrode material for lithium ion batteries due to its high safety, relatively low cost, high cycle performance, and flat voltage profile.
A lithium-iron-phosphate battery refers to a battery using lithium iron phosphate as a positive electrode material, which has the following advantages and characteristics. The requirements for battery assembly are also stricter and need to be completed under low-humidity conditions.
Lithium iron phosphate LFP is a common and inexpensive polyanionic compound extensively used as a battery cathode. It has a long life span, flat voltage charge-discharge curves, and is safe for the environment. Sun et al. prepared 3D interdigitated lithium-ion microbattery architectures using concentrated lithium oxide-based inks .
Lithium-titanate material is used as the negative electrode in the secondary battery, which can form 2.40 V or 1.90 V with positive electrode materials such as lithium-manganate, ternary material, or lithium-iron-phosphate.
