Abstract

Lithium ion batteries have become attractive for portable devices due to their higher energy density compared to other systems. With a growing interest to develop rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is considered to replace the currently used LiCoO2 cathodes in lithium ion cells. LiFePO4 is a technically important cathode material for new-generation power lithium ion battery applications because of its abundance in raw materials, environmental friendliness, perfect cycling performance, and safety characteristics. However, the commercial use of LiFePO4 cathode material has been hindered to date by their low electronic conductivity. This review highlights the recent progress in improving and understanding the electrochemical performance like the rate ability and cycling performance of LiFePO4 cathode. This review sums up some important researches related to LiFePO4 cathode material, including doping and coating on surface. Doping elements with coating conductive film is an effective way to improve its rate ability.
