“…It is well-know that the electrochemical performances of LVO depends highly upon preparation methods and post-processing techniques [8,9]. Therefore, several synthetic routes have been developed to further enhance the electrochemical performance of LVO, such as microwave synthesis [2], sol-gel synthesis [10,11,12,13,14], spray pyrolysis synthesis [15,16], hydrothermal synthesis [2,17], and solid-state reactions [18,19]. However, until now, bare LVO still suffers from low capacity retention and poor rate performance on account of the phase transformation and slow kinetics during the charge-discharge process [20,21,22], which hinders its practical applications.…”
