Abstract

In this paper we examine a laboratory LiFePO₄ (LFP) cathode and propose a simple model that predicts the electrode capacity as function of C-rate, number of cycles and calendar time. Microcracks were found in Li_1-xFePO₄ particles in a degraded LFP electrode and low-acceleration voltage (1 kV) FIB/SEM analysis allowed us to obtain phase contrast between FePO₄ and LiFePO₄. The evolution of micro-cracks is expected to increase the concentration of LFP particles which are not electronically accessible and thus cause a loss in capacity.
