Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium manganese oxide (LMO) began to be phased out of the market because of low energy density. LFP, however, remains in the running thanks to its inherent safety, low cost, and independence of the cobalt and nickel supply chain.
Why Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries May Be the Key to the LiFepo4 Cathode Material: From the Bulk to the Surface. Nanoscale. 2020, 12 (28), 15036–15044. DOI: 10.1039/ Research to Industrial Applications.
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4, LFP) has long been a key player in the lithium battery industry for its exceptional stability, safety, and cost-effectiveness as a cathode material.
REUTERS/Esha Vaish/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights STOCKHOLM, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Swedish battery maker Northvolt is looking to source cobalt, used to make chemicals for electric vehicle batteries, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the company said on Friday.
The supply of mined raw materials is highly concen- trated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which poses a risk to the robustness of the entire supply chain. Approximately 99% of cobalt is extracted as a byproduct of copper and nickel mining, which makes it greatly dependent on future supply and demand developments of those materials.
Yet the combination of cathode materials, the beating heart of the battery cell, is in constant flux. Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes, which have a 60% cobalt content and are installed in the bulk of smart phones and laptops, are steadily losing market share to higher energy density lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cathodes.
