Mono-dispersed LiFePO4@C core-shell [001] nanorods for a high power Li-ion battery cathode

Mono-dispersed LiFePO4@C core-shell nanorods were successfully prepared with the basis of the hydrothermally synthesized monodispersed LiFePO4 nanorods. Due to the nanosization along [010] direction, the perfect lattice structure and full carbon coating, the mono-dispersed LiFePO4@C core-shell nanorods displays excellent high rate capacity and cycle stability.466
