Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Batteries

An improvement on previous generations of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-iron-phosphate batteries feature a lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) cathode material. This newer electrode material is known for its structural stability and relatively low cell voltage (compared with those of conventional layered-oxide materials). The combination…

Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized energy storage, allowing items such as laptops, cell phones, and electric vehicles to take their present forms. Known for their high power density and energy density, traditional lithium-ion batteries have a few particular drawbacks. These include…
