Preparation and characterization of spinel Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles anode materials for lithium ion battery (2012, background): “In fact, many new approaches have suggested solutions to improve the conductivity as follows (Jin et al. 2008; Gaberscek et al. 2007; Qi et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2006): (1) coating with an electron-conducting phase; (2) ionic substitution to enhance the electrochemical properties; and (3) particle s”
Room-temperature single-phase Li insertion/extraction in nanoscale Li(x)FePO4. (2008, background): “Answering such a question could greatly benefit from theoretical work aiming at revisiting chemical reactivity in conjunction with thermodynamics at the nanoscale as recently initiated by a few groups”
