Li-ion Battery cells and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery cells are two common types of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in a variety of applications.
Li-ion Battery cells typically consist of a lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) or lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cathode, a graphite anode, and an electrolyte containing lithium salts. During charging, lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode through the electrolyte, and during discharging, the ions move back from the anode to the cathode, generating electrical energy. Li-ion batteries are known for their high energy density and relatively high specific energy, making them suitable for applications requiring high power output.
On the other hand, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery cells use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material, graphite as the anode material, and a lithium electrolyte. LFP battery cells have a slightly lower energy density compared to traditional Li-ion cells, but they offer several advantages such as longer cycle life, better thermal stability, and improved safety due to a lower risk of thermal runaway. The principle of LFP battery cells involves the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions within the cathode
