In situ metal organic framework (ZIF-8) and mechanofusion-assisted MWCNT coating of LiFePO/C composite material for lithium-ion batteries

LiFePO4 is one of the industrial, scalable cathode materials in lithium-ion battery production, due to its cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. However, the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 in high current rate operation is still limited, due to its poor ionic- and electron-condu...
