4because its diameter is less, Li
+the evolving path of ion is also shorter, thereby can make anode material for lithium-ion batteries have good chemical property; Nano-sheet LiFePO
4because can reduce the axial thickness of nano particle b, shorten Li
+the evolving path of ion, optimizes Li
+the embedding of ion/de-embedding process; Spherical LiFePO
4nano particle, because mutual contact-making surface is little, is not prone to and reunites and arch formation, has interfacial free energy lower, and volume energy density is higher, and mobile performance is better, tap density advantages of higher; Bar-shaped LiFePO
4electrode have preferably than discharge capacity, under high-multiplying power discharge, can show good performance; Even by porous, improve LiFePO
4lithium ion migration effect.
