Citat: "...
Derfor valgte de at arbejde videre på en anden type, nemlig 
lithium-jern-fosfat blandingen, som har langt bedre termiske egenskaber 
og derfor kan belastes hårdt. Desuden er den billigere og mere miljøvenlig.
....
Dermed bliver lithium-jern-fosfat batterier med ét slag en brugbar 
teknologi til elbiler.
Det bedste er, at de materialer, der er i brug, er de samme, som 
industrien bruger på lithium-jern-fosfat batterier i dag. Det er kun 
fremstillingsprocessen, der ændres.

Qoute: "...
That seemed to be the case for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), a 
material that is used in the cathode of a small number of commercial 
batteries. But when Ceder and Kang did some calculations, they saw that 
the compound could theoretically do much better. Its crystal structure 
creates "perfectly sized tunnels for lithium to move through", says 
Ceder. "We saw that we could reach ridiculously fast charging rates."
....
The authors helped the ions by coating the surface of the cathode with a 
thin layer of lithium phosphate glass, which is known to be an excellent 
lithium conductor. Testing their newly-coated cathode, they found that 
they could charge and discharge it in as little as 9 seconds.
