Description
Lithium Iron Phosphate Product Overview
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) has an olivine crystal structure and is supplied as a gray to black powder, usually coated with a thin layer of carbon to improve its electrical conductivity. It offers a theoretical capacity of about 170 mAh/g at an operating voltage of about 3.2–3.3 V.
Compared with nickel- and cobalt-based cathodes, LFP stores somewhat less energy per kilogram. In return, it offers excellent thermal stability, long cycle life and lower cost, and it contains no cobalt or nickel. These advantages have made it the dominant cathode in stationary energy storage and a major share of electric vehicles, buses and power tools.
Cathode producers make LFP from lithium sources such as Lithium carbonate or Lithium hydroxide together with iron and phosphate precursors. In cells, it pairs with graphite or Lithium Titanate anodes and electrolytes based on salts such as Lithium hexafluorophosphate.
