Abstract

The intriguingly fast electrochemical response of the insulating LiFePO 4 insertion electrode toward Li is of both fundamental and practical importance. Here we present a comprehensive study of its deinsertion/insertion mechanism by high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy on thin platelet-type particles of Li x FePO 4 ( b Pnma axis normal to the surface). We find that the lithium deinsertion/insertion process is not well-described by the classical shrinking core model. Compositions of the same x value obtained by both deinsertion and insertion gave the same results, namely that the Li x FePO 4 so formed consists of a core of FePO 4 surrounded by a shell of LiFePO 4 with respective ratios dependent on x . We suggest that lattice mismatch between the two end members may be at the origin of the peculiar microstructure observed. Furthermore, because of the appearance of isosbestic points on the overlaid EELS spectra, we provide direct experimental evidence that the nanometer interface between single-phase areas composed of LiFePO 4 or FePO 4 is the juxtaposition of the two end members and not a solid solution. One future prospect of such knowledge is to determine strategies on how to control, on a large scale, the synthesis of nanometer-sized thin platelet-type particles to prepare high-rate LiFePO 4 electrodes for future energy storage devices.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
