What is a lithium iron phosphate battery?

2.1. Cell selection The lithium iron phosphate battery, also known as the LFP battery, is one of the chemistries of lithium-ion battery that employs a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) as the cathode material.

What happens when a lithium ion is discharged?

When discharging, the reverse process happens, and lithium ions are intercalated into the material from the electrolyte. The intercalation sequence of lithium ions proceeds from the outside to the inside along the radial spherical reaction interface.

Why do lithium ion ions lose FP core after discharge?

However, due to the influence of the lithium ions diffusion rate (the same reason as for the residual spherical nuclei in the Radial Model), there will still be a small spherical FP core remaining after the discharge process is completed, which is also a cause of capacity loss .

Can parasitic reactions cause self-discharge of rechargeable batteries?

For the first time, the self-discharge of rechargeable batteries induced by parasitic reactions is elucidated from the sight of the Evans Diagram, which is an effective method used in corrosion science for analyzing the coupled relationship between kinetics and thermodynamics.
