Description
This thesis has investigated a family of olivine phosphate battery materials using various spectroscopic techniques. The research has demonstrated that the surfaces of these materials display nanoscale Lithium depletion. The differentiated surface layers are responsible for many of the measured properties, which have so far been mostly attributed to the bulk of the compounds. In the case of LiFePO4, the surface layers also concentrate the dopants, which have been reported as beneficial for the electrochemical performance. The identified surface differentiation seems present in other families of battery materials. Its identification provides new insights on particle surface design for performance optimization.
Impact and interest:
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.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
