Lithium iron phosphate batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery. They are made with a cathode of lithium iron phosphate and an anode of carbon. The batteries have a high discharge rate and are more stable than other lithium-ion battery chemistries.
Some of the emerging trends in lithium iron phosphate batteries include the use of nano-sized particles to improve performance, the use of novel electrolytes to improve safety, and the use of new manufacturing techniques to reduce cost.
