The surfactant acts as a self-assembling supermolecular template, which stimulated the crystallization of LiFePOand directed the nanoparticles growing into nanorods between bilayers of surfactant（BOS）. LiFePOnanorods with the reducing crystal size along the b axis shorten the diffusion distance of Liextraction/insertion, and thus improve the electrochemical properties of LiFePOnanorods. Such prepared LiFePOnanorods exhibited excellent specific capacity and high rate capability with discharge capacity of 151 mAh/g, 122 mAh/g and 95 mAh/g at 0.1C, 1 C and 5 C, respectively. Such excellent performance of LiFePOnanorods is supposed to be ascribed to the fast Lidiffusion velocity from reduced crystal size along the b axis and the well electrochemical conductivity. The structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, HRTEM, charge/discharge tests, and EIS（electrochemical impedance spectra）.展开更多
