Abstract

A highly ordered interface between LiFePO(4) phase and FePO(4) phase with staging structure along the a axis and perpendicular to the b axis direction has been observed for the first time, in a partially chemically delithiated Li(0.90)Nb(0.02)FePO(4) by advanced aberration-corrected annular-bright-field (ABF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM).
