Abstract

This chapter report the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of positive electrode materials with the olivine-like structure LiMPO4 (M=Fe, Mn, Ni, Co) for high power lithium-ion batteries. One approach to provide insight into the structural and electronic properties of optimized electrode materials involves a systematic study by a combination of techniques including structural, magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. We expose successively the principle of the inductive effect in polyanionic frameworks, the synthesis route, the structure and morphology of olivine nano-particles and their electrochemical features in various situations including high temperature, high current density, and in humid atmosphere.
