Problems solved by technology

Since the bond energy of the P-O bond is very large, PO 4 The tetrahedron is inert in the process of deintercalating lithium and can play a structural support role and is very stable, so LiFePO 4 It has good high temperature resistance and overcharge resistance; at the same time, it is precisely because of the adjacent FeO 6 The octahedrons are connected by common vertices, which hinders the Li + The free diffusion of ions eventually leads to lower electronic conductivity (Thackeray, M., Lithium-ion batteries: An unexpected conductor. Nat Mater 2002, 1, (2), 81-82.)
[0004] In recent years, the conductivity of the material has been improved by adding an organic carbon source for carbon coating during the preparation of the lithium iron phosphate material, but at the same time, the primary crystallization size of the material will be nanoscale.
The nanoscale is really helpful to the material's gram capacity, but it also brings great problems to the battery production and subsequent processes, mainly because the coating process is difficult to operate
