Abstract

Carbon-coated carambola-like LiFePO₄, which consists of LiFePO₄ thin layers with a selectively exposed (020) plane, was synthesized by a new method via oriented growth using cholesteric benzoate as a structure-directing agent. The composite exhibits stable and extremely fast kinetics upon Li storage.
