Description

We provide a review of our recent studies on the surface chemistries and electronic structures of olivine phosphate cathode materials LiMPO4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). Li-depletion and mixed oxidation for the transition metal ions have been detected on particle surfaces, across the family of metal phosphate cathode materials. The effects of surface Li-depletion on optical properties and electronic band structures are discussed. LiFePO4 doped with metals or ions that are reported in the literature as beneficial for rate capability enhancement show more pronounced surface Li-depletion and mixed oxidation compared to undoped material. This outcome, among others, indicates that the dopant resides predominantly on, and influences, the surface of cathode materials.

7 citations in Scopus
4 citations in Web of Science®
Search Google Scholar™

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.
