Li-ion Batteries: Ultralong Lifespan and Ultrafast Li Storage: Single-Crystal LiFePO₄ Nanomeshes (Small 4/2016)

A low crystal mismatch strategy to fabricate novel LiFePO4 nanomeshes is presented by Y. Wang and co-workers on page 516. The LiFePO4 nanomesh is characterized by numerous advantages, such as mesoporous structure, enhanced structural integrity, and a shortened Li ion diffusion pathway along the [010] direction. Furthermore, the obtained LiFePO4 nanomesh can be applied in lithium ion batteries as an excellent cathode for fast extraction-insertion of lithium ions and exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance.
