Synthesis of high-density olivine LiFePO4 from paleozoic siderite FeCO3 and its electrochemical performance in lithium batteries

The lithium-ion cathode material olivine LiFePO4 (LFP) has been synthesized for the first time from natural paleozoic iron carbonate (FeCO3). The ferrous carbonate starting material consists of the mineral siderite at about 92 wt. % purity. Because FeCO3 has divalent iron, the reaction with lithium...
