Starting composition pressed into disc form, before microwave processing (on left)
and after microwave processing (on right)
XRD shows that LiFePO4 has
formed (with traces of Fe3O4)
after microwave processing with
a hold of only 15 min at ~800o
C.
(Compare with several hours
needed in conventional
processing!)
