The invention involves a sol-gel-based uniform carbon-coating process designed to create high-performance lithium-ion batteries. This process uses carbon nanotubes and an improved carbon-coating method that incorporates organic phosphoric acid as both a carbon and phosphorus source. This allows for the production of uniformly carbon-coated lithium-ion batteries with greatly enhanced ion diffusion and electrical conductivity. By overcoming the limitations of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cathode materials, this technology addresses issues such as low capacity, low energy density, and poor cycle life that often lead to premature battery failure. The result is a new generation of lithium-ion batteries with longer lifespans, higher energy density, and better safety features, making them suitable for demanding applications such as electric vehicles (EVs), portable electronics, and grid energy storage.
