title: Rational design of atomic-layer-deposited LiFePO4 as a high-performance cathode for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: Atomic layer deposition is successfully applied to synthesize lithium iron phosphate in a layer-by-layer manner by using self-limiting surface reactions. The lithium iron phosphate exhibits high power density, excellent rate capability, and ultra-long lifetime, showing great potential for vehicular lithium batteries and 3D all-solid-state microbatteries.
