A new strategy to hydrothermally synthesize olivine phosphates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Oct 3;55(80):12092-12095. doi: 10.1039/c9cc05100g.

Abstract

A new strategy based on the P excess reaction system is innovated to hydrothermally synthesize olivine phosphates (LiMPO4), and even unoptimized samples still show competitive electrochemical performance. Meanwhile, it is found that the presence of NH4+ in the P excess reaction system is detrimental to the efficient hydrothermal synthesis of LiMPO4.
