Architectures of tavorite LiFe(PO ₄ )(OH) _0.5 F _0.5 hierarchical microspheres and their lithium storage properties

Tavorite LiFe(PO4)(OH)0.5F0.5 microspheres with different morphologies were prepared by a facile solvothermal route, and were further investigated as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. We highly expect that this research can provide a useful fundamental understanding of the shape-dependent electrochemical performance of tavorite electrode materials.
