“…34–36 Among these strategies, the integration of LFP with unique conductive carbon material coatings has emerged as the most economical and efficient method for increasing the rate efficiency of LFP. 37,38…”

Path ahead: Tackling the Challenge of Computationally Estimating Lithium Diffusion in Cathode Materials

“…Rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) play an essential role in our everyday life, being crucial in many different applications, from electronics to electric vehicles. − So far, LIBs have been the enabling technology for the storage and on-demand usage of renewable energies due to their relatively low cost and versatility. − Problems related to safety and energy density − have been addressed in recent years, following a growing demand, by the development of new generation LIBs, namely all-solid-state batteries. These are commonly characterized by solid-state electrolytes, − and materials such as NMC (LiNi 1– x – y Mn x Co y O 2 ) − or LFP (LiFePO 4 ) − as cathode.…”
