Band structure analysis on olivine LiMPO4 and delithiated MPO4

mpo4Olivine compounds, i.e. Li x MPO 4 (M = Fe, Mn), are now regarded as the most competitive positive-electrode materials for future applications of large-scale rechargeableThe olivine LiMPO 4 materials (M = Fe, Mn, Ni, Co) form a promising class of cathode materials for rechargeable Li batteries. LiFePO 4 [1], in particular, has already found
