Should lithium iron phosphate batteries be recycled?

Learn more. In recent years, the penetration rate of lithium iron phosphate batteries in the energy storage field has surged, underscoring the pressing need to recycle retired LiFePO 4 (LFP) batteries within the framework of low carbon and sustainable development.

Are lithium iron phosphate batteries about to change the conversation?

Over the past decade, zillions of hours and billions of dollars have been invested in figuring out how to make solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Now it seems lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries may be about to change the conversation completely. One of the features of LFP batteries is they don’t use cobalt.

Will lithium iron phosphate lower battery prices?

With lithium iron phosphate, which eliminates both nickel and cobalt, there is a possible pathway for getting battery prices down to as low as $80/kWh. The whole world is watching and waiting for Tesla Battery Day, now tentatively scheduled for September 15.

Are lithium iron phosphate batteries safe for EVs?

A recent report 23 from China’s National Big Data Alliance of New Energy Vehicles showed that 86% EV safety incidents reported in China from May to July 2019 were on EVs powered by ternary batteries and only 7% were on LFP batteries. Lithium iron phosphate cells have several distinctive advantages over NMC/NCA counterparts for mass-market EVs.

Are lithium iron phosphate batteries the new normal for electric cars?

See all posts by Steve Hanley Lithium iron phosphate batteries may be the new normal for electric cars, which could lower EV prices and ease consumer fears about the cost of replacing a battery.

Are lithium batteries a supply chain problem?

As with any technology, supply chain concerns exist for different components of LIBs. Of the elements that can be present in the batteries, the most critical are cobalt, nickel, and lithium. Cobalt and nickel are key cathode components that help increase the energy of cells.
