Abstract
An anisotropic behavior of lithium ion migration in LiFePO 4 is investigated using the cathode particles after chemical delithiation. A phase contrast of a LiFePO 4 particle validating the directional property is also found. It suggests that the lithium ion migration path is limited to the [010] direction and the phase boundary between LiFePO 4 and FePO 4 is perpendicular [010]. The symmetric phase boundary inside the LiFePO 4 particle is contrary to the non-directional core-shell model reported by others. The molecular dynamics simulation confirms the crystallographic direction with the lowest energy for lithium ion migration.
