Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery by Fouad Sabry

What Is Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery

The lithium iron phosphate battery, often known as an LFP battery, is a form of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. The anode of this battery is made up of a graphitic carbon electrode that has a metallic backing. The energy density of an LFP battery is lower than that of other common lithium ion battery types such as Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) and Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA), and it also has a lower operating voltage; CATL's LFP batteries are currently at 125 watt hours (Wh) per kg, up to possibly 160 Wh/kg with improved packing technology, while BYD's LFP batteries are at 150 Wh/kg, which is compared to over 300 Notably, the energy density of the Panasonic "2170" batteries that will be utilized in the Tesla Model 3 in the year 2020 is around 260 Wh/kg, which is approximately 70 percent of the value of its "pure chemicals."
