Application

The primary application of our lithium iron phosphate (LFP) electrode is as a cathode in lithium-ion battery research. LFP is inexpensive, nontoxic, cobalt-free, and environmentally benign. It achieves high specific capacity (>150 mAh/g) and offers a considerably longer cycle life than other lithium-ion chemistries. LFP cells experience a slower rate of capacity loss and greater calendar-life than lithium-ion battery chemistries such as cobalt (LiCoO₂), manganese spinel (LiMn₂O₄), lithium-ion polymer batteries (LiPo battery), and nickel-based lithium-ion cathodes. Because of its low-cost, low-toxicity, long-term stability, and well-defined performance, LFP-based batteries are finding roles in vehicle use and backup power applications.
