You have full access to this open access article 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.
Last April, Tesla announced that nearly half of the electric vehicles it produced in its first quarter of 2022 were equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, a cheaper rival to the nickel-and-cobalt based cells that dominate in the West. The lithium iron phosphate battery offers an alternative in the electric vehicle market.
Only about 3 percent of the total supply of phosphate minerals is currently usable for refinement to cathode battery materials. It is also beneficial to do PPA refining near the battery plant that will use the material to produce LFP cells.
Multiple lithium iron phosphate modules are wired in series and parallel to create a 2800 Ah 52 V battery module. Total battery capacity is 145.6 kWh. Note the large, solid tinned copper busbar connecting the modules together. This busbar is rated for 700 amps DC to accommodate the high currents generated in this 48 volt DC system.
