What is LiFePO4 Battery?

LiFePO4 battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It uses lithium iron phosphate as the positive electrode material and graphite as the negative electrode material, and completes the charging and discharging process through the movement of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes.

As the most basic battery unit, the LiFePO4 battery with a nominal voltage of 3.2V can be combined into a variety of battery packs with different voltages and capacities through parallel and series connection.

The nominal voltage of LiFePO4 battery can be: 3.2V, 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, etc. By customizing the LiFePO4 battery, it can be used in a variety of different devices.

LiFePO4 Battery Structure

LiFePO4 battery can be divided into six parts in structure.

  1. Positive electrode

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is generally used as the positive electrode material in the battery.

  1. Negative electrode

Artificial graphite is a commonly used negative electrode material. Its crystal is composed of hexagonal mesh plane specifications composed of carbon atoms and has a layered structure. Graphite has good conductivity and high crystallinity.

  1. Electrolyte

The electrolyte is an important component of the battery. It plays the role of conducting ions between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery and is a bridge connecting the positive and negative electrode materials.

  1. Diaphragm

The diaphragm is one of the key inner layer structures of the battery cell. Its main function is to separate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery and prevent the two electrodes from short-circuiting. It has the function of ion passage. When the battery is overheated, it blocks the current conduction in the battery through the closed-cell function. The main raw materials for the diaphragm are polyethylene PE and polypropylene PP.

  1. Conductive agent

The conductive agent is to ensure that the electrode has good charge and discharge performance. A certain amount of conductive material is usually added when the pole piece is made, thereby improving the charge and discharge efficiency of the electrode.

  1. Binder

The raw material ratio of a complete lithium-ion battery must include active material, conductive agent, binder, solvent, and additives. The binder plays the role of bonding the active material to the foil, the active material to the active material, and the active material to the conductive agent. Although the amount used is small, its role is irreplaceable.

Working Principle Of LiFePO4 Battery

The working principle of LiFePO4 battery can be summarized as lithium ions constantly embedding and de-embedding between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery.

Charging process of LiFePO4 battery:

When LiFePO4 battery is connected to power, lithium ions will be de-embedded from the positive electrode and then moved to the negative electrode through the electrolyte and diaphragm. At the same time, electrons will flow from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, so that the whole process achieves charge balance. This process is expressed by the formula: LiFePO₄→ FePO₄+ Li⁺+ e⁻

Discharging process of LiFePO4 battery:

When LiFePO4 battery is powering the device, lithium ions will be de-embedded from the negative electrode and then move to the positive electrode through the electrolyte and diaphragm. At the same time, electrons will flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode, forming a current. This process is expressed by the formula: FePO₄+ Li⁺+ e⁻→ LiFePO₄

LiFePO4 Battery Features

  • Long life, large capacity, high energy density

LiFePO4 battery is equipped with A-grade battery cells, and its cycle life can reach more than 2,000 times. Under the same volume, its capacity is larger and its energy density is higher, which is several times higher than ordinary traditional batteries, such as lead-acid batteries.

  • Safe and stable

LiFePO4 battery is designed with Battery Management System (BMS), which can effectively protect and manage the battery, making its performance stable, safe, and reliable. Its protection system includes overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, high and low temperature protection, circuit breaker protection, voltage balance, etc.

  • Low cost

Some batteries are expensive because of their high raw material costs. For example, cobalt, a heavy metal material that can be used in lithium-ion batteries, is scarce in nature and its price fluctuates greatly. LiFePO4 battery has abundant raw material resources, so it is relatively cheaper, making its application range more extensive.

  • No memory effect

Traditional rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries, have memory effects. If these batteries are charged without being fully discharged, the battery capacity will be reduced. LiFePO4 battery has no memory effect due to its working principle and material characteristics, and can be charged and discharged at any time without adverse effects on the battery.

  • Environmental protection

LiFePO4 battery does not contain harmful heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium. Therefore, it is generally considered to be a non-toxic and harmless battery product, which will not only not pollute the environment, but also will not affect human health.

Applications of LiFePO4 Battery

Due to the advantages and characteristics of LiFePO4 battery, it is widely used as a power battery and energy storage battery in various products, such as electric vehicles, solar and wind energy storage equipment, etc. It can also be used in power tools, lighting equipment, medical equipment, digital equipment, and other products.
