Lithium‐Ion Batteries: Single‐Particle Performances and Properties of LiFePO₄ Nanocrystals for Li‐Ion Batteries (Adv. Energy Mater. 5/2017)

The electrochemical data of a lithium ion battery based on the thickness of the battery electrode mainly reflect the properties of the collective particles with multi-polarization effects. In article number of 1601894, Yuan Lin, Feng Pan, and co-workers develop a new method to form an ultrathin single-particle (SP) electrode (gold band) of LiFePO4 (green balls) and a new SP-model to investigate the intrinsic properties and performances of the LiFePO4 single-particle (spherical mirror).
