Cathode Powder for Lithium-ion Batteries
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄), also known as LFP, offers a distinct advantage in the world of battery technology: exceptional safety. Unlike mixed-metal cathodes (NMC, NCA) with loosely bound oxygen, LFP’s polyanionic structure (PO₄³⁻) keeps oxygen tightly bound, minimizing the risk of thermal runaway. This translates to inherently safer batteries, a crucial factor for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and other demanding applications.
While boasting top-tier safety, LFP also delivers impressive performance characteristics. Its unique voltage profile features a remarkably stable voltage plateau around 3.3V during charge and discharge at low current densities (C/10). This stable profile contributes to extended battery lifespans. Additionally, LFP offers a high practical capacity of around 155-160 mAh/g, making it a reliable energy storage solution.
NEI is currently supplying CBP-60, which is a polycrystalline Lithium Iron Phosphate powder. While NEI doesn’t produce this particular material in-house, you can expect the same quality as our own NANOMYTE® product line. Our LFP is also available as a cast electrode sheet (tape / film).
