The lithium iron phosphate battery or LFP battery is a type of lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material,and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. Because of their low cost,high safety,low toxicity,long cycle life and other factors,LFP batteries are finding a number of roles in vehicle use,utility-scale stationary applications,and backup power. LFP batteries are cobalt-free. As of September 2022,LFP type battery market share for EVs reached 31%,and of that,68% were from EV makers Tesla and BYD alone. Chinese manufacturers currently hold a near monopoly of LFP battery type production. With patents having started to expire in 2022 and the increased demand for cheaper EV batteries,LFP type production is expected to rise further and surpass lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (NMC) type batteries in 2028.
