Challenges: Technological drawbacks of LFP batteries
Lithium iron phosphate batteries have low energy density as compared with the other lithium-ion batteries. In the current scenario, a key consideration is that batteries used in EVs should be small in size and light in weight. Therefore, batteries that have energy density much higher than 300 Wh/kg and 800 Wh/L are used. The particles in the electrode powder should be made smaller; this helps it to pack more densely. This would increase the electrolytes per volume by producing a large contact surface, thereby improving the charging rate of cell and its energy density. But it also results in more unwanted reactions as a result of larger contact surface and creation of more ions that degrade battery material and also shorten its lifetime. The solution to this is coating all particles with an ultrathin buffer layer. But again, the challenge lies in making these layers both highly conductive and chemically inert.
