Description

In this study, the rate performance of a LiFePO4 (LFP) electrode has been enhanced by optimization of the particle size distribution of the LFP particles. Two LFP samples with different particle sizes (∼50 and ∼350 nm) are mixed with various ratios and the electrochemical performance has been evaluated. Reduction of the contact resistance and increase of the Li diffusion coefficient have been achieved. The electrode with a mixing ratio of 50:50 shows an improved initial capacity at C/10 and superior rate capability compared with the two pristine materials.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
