Problems solved by technology

However, LiFePO 4 There are two obvious disadvantages: one is the low electrical conductivity, wherein the electronic conductivity is only 10 - 10 On the order of S / cm, the lithium ion diffusion rate is only 10 -14 cm 2 / s order of magnitude, leading to poor high-rate discharge performance and low actual specific capacity, especially when discharging with a large current, the electrode polarization is serious, resulting in increased irreversibility of charge and discharge, and serious loss of electrochemical capacity; second, the low bulk density leads to The volume is lower than the capacity, which gives LiFePO 4 The practical application brings certain difficulties
In particular, the nanoparticle has the advantages of shortening the diffusion path of lithium ions, high specific surface area, and good electrical conductivity, which can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the material, but it has low tap density, low volume capacity density, and easy agglomeration during smearing. and other shortcomings
