The lithium iron phosphate battery offers an alternative in the electric vehicle market. It could diversify battery manufacturing, supply chains and EV sales in North America and Europe. China dominates over 80% of total battery, but also ~95% of LFP production.
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.
The cumulative phosphorus demand for light-duty EV batteries from 2020 to 2050 is in the range of 28–35 Mt in the SD scenario (Fig. 1c ). However, there are considerable uncertainties related to this phosphorus demand.
Half-cell tests using phosphoric acid or pentafluorophenylphosphonic acid (PPA) suggested that the decrease in the ECSA of the non-protonated electrode was not due to phosphoric acid but to the undesirable adsorption of fluorophenyl groups (Extended Data Fig. 6b–d).
Today’s batteries, including those used in electric vehicles (EVs), generally rely on one of two cathode chemistries: lithium nickel manganese cobalt mixed oxide (NMC), which evolved from the first manganese oxide and cobalt oxide chemistries and entered the market around 2008 1 Aluminum is sometimes used in place of manganese.
We agree with Spears et al. 2 that, if not managed properly, this could result in short term supply chain challenges and competition for phosphorous between food and non-food applications with potentially negative consequences for the battery industry.

6 · Today''s best commercial lithium-ion batteries have an energy density of about 280 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), up from 100 in the 1990s and much higher than about 75 Wh/kg for lead-acid batteries. The theoretical maximum of lithium-ion with graphite anodes tops out at about 300 Wh/kg, says Liu. That''s just not enough for mainstream 500-mile range cars or for …
