The evolution of LFP technologies provides valuable guidelines for further improvement of LFP batteries and the rational design of next-generation batteries. As an emerging industry, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4, LFP) has been widely used in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems for the smart grid, especially in China.
It has a long service life, is comparatively inexpensive and does not tend to spontaneously combust. Energy density is also making progress. However, experts are still puzzled as to why lithium iron phosphate batteries undercut their theoretical electricity storage capacity by up to 25 per cent in practice.
In this overview, we go over the past and present of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) as a successful case of technology transfer from the research bench to commercialization. The evolution of LFP technologies provides valuable guidelines for further improvement of LFP batteries and the rational design of next-generation batteries.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have gained widespread recognition for their exceptional thermal stability, remarkable cycling performance, non-toxic attributes, and cost-effectiveness. However, the increased adoption of LFP batteries has led to a surge in spent LFP battery disposal.
Lithium iron phosphate, a stable three-dimensional phospho-olivine, which is known as the natural mineral triphylite (see olivine structure in Figure 9 (c)), delivers 3.3–3.6 V and more than 90% of its theoretical capacity of 165 Ah kg −1; it offers low cost, long cycle life, and superior thermal and chemical stability.
