Research progress in LiFePO4 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Due to its excellent electrochemical performance, Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) is universally recognized as one of the most promising lithium ion battery cathode materials. But the development of this cathode material is controlled by its low electric conductivity and slow diffusion rate of lithium ion. The crystal structure, principle of charging and discharging and electrochemical reaction model are described in this paper. Latest progresses in modified research of electrochemical properties of LiFePO₄ are reviewed. Especially, the effects of ion-doping, carbon coating and synthesizing nano-structure on the LiFePO₄ and the existing problems are introduced. The research trends of this field are brought forward and the future study should be focused on further theoretical study and process improvement.
