Problems solved by technology

High-temperature solid-phase synthesis method is the most common method used in industrial production, but this method needs to be carried out at high temperature, the equipment investment is large, the energy consumption is high, and it is not environmentally friendly. Moreover, the prepared lithium iron phosphate powder is easy to agglomerate and difficult to obtain. Lithium iron phosphate powder with uniform size and regular shape
However, although the size and shape of the powder are easy to control and the phase is uniform in the hydrothermal synthesis of lithium iron phosphate, the reaction cycle is long and usually takes more than ten hours to complete.
