So a lot of companies have been looking around for ways to decrease the cost of batteries. And lithium iron phosphate, which is also called LFP, is a really good way to do that because it avoids nickel, it avoids cobalt, and you’re instead using something like iron, which is just a lot cheaper as a metal.
Besides, the fire effluents of LIBs can be more serious, containing lots of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Larsson et al. conducted fire tests to estimate gas emissions of commercial lithium iron phosphate cells (LiFePO 4) exposed to a controlled propane fire.
Matt: Yeah, so lithium iron phosphate is, it’s a powder, basically, that you can use to make the cathode of batteries. And the cathode is just the positive end of the battery. And it’s the most valuable part of the battery. And in North America, most of the electric cars you see on the road will use a battery that’s made with nickel.
In China, the streets are full of electric vehicles using this technology. But LFP never caught on as a chemistry for electric vehicle batteries in North America. In this episode, C&EN reporters Craig Bettenhausen and Matt Blois talk about the promise and risks of bringing lithium iron phosphate to a North American market.
Larsson et al. conducted fire tests to estimate gas emissions of commercial lithium iron phosphate cells (LiFePO 4) exposed to a controlled propane fire. All the investigations mentioned above have concentrated on small format batteries.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are cheaper, safer, and longer lasting than batteries made with nickel- and cobalt-based cathodes. In China, the streets are full of electric vehicles using this technology. But LFP never caught on as a chemistry for electric vehicle batteries in North America.
