Top-Story of Elettra Synchrotron Trieste

Our research published recently in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces demonstrates a high stability of LiCoPO₄ tailored with LiCo₂P₃O₁₀ (LCP-LCPO) as cathode material for Li-ion batteries upon electrochemical cycling to 5.1 V vs. Li⁺/Li. In contrast, the MoO₃ coating layer on the top of the LCP−LCPO cathode undergoes chemical reactions with the electrolyte resulting in leaching of the oxide layer.
