A high energy density, high power density, environmentally
benign and cost effective cathode is integral to the
development of next-generation of Li-ion batteries. In
recent years Olivine structured lithium transition
phosphates LiMPO4 (M = transition metals, such as
Fe,Mn) have surfaced as promising candidates. However,
Olivine structured LiMPO4 are undermined by its
low electronic conductivity and ion conductivity. We
emphasized on promoting their electrochemical performance by
both surface and bulk engineering of Lithium transition
phosphates. By both doping with alien ions and surface
coating with conductive materials, we expect a large
enhancement on its electrochemical performance.
