Abstract
We describe a new device able to photo-oxidize LiFePO4 nanocrystals to FePO4 in the presence of a N719-Ruthenium-dye using a three-electrode system. Under Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) the LiFePO4 nanoparticles spontaneously delithiated and converted to heterosite FePO4 with the assistance of the ruthenium-dye (see Figure 1). Our results can open interesting perspectives to solar rechargeable battery field.
