This project aims to develop novel lithium iron based phosphates as cathode materials with high specific capacity to achieve battery systems that are high power, abuse-tolerant, and cost effective. It is expected that the overall electrochemical performance of lithium iron based phosphates will be dramatically improved through the enhancement of electronic conductivity and lithium ion conductivity. The development of this new generation of lithium-ion batteries not only means more compact and longer-lasting laptops and cellular phones, but also significantly advances both the near- and long-term goals of popular usage of battery powered hybrid electric vehicles, electric bicycles, and distributed energy storage systems.
