Unlock Power: Your Insider Tour of Premium LiFePO₄ (LFP) Battery Material Manufacturing!

LiFePO4 (LFP) Overview

LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is a leading cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, prized for its safety, stability, and long cycle life. Supplied as a fine powder in 500kg bulk bags, it undergoes strict moisture control (<0.1%) to ensure optimal performance in battery production.

Key LiFePO4 Production Methods

Two dominant manufacturing approaches:
A. High-Temperature Solid-State Synthesis
Iron Phosphate (FePO₄) Route – Most efficient, cost-effective, and scalable. Combines FePO₄, lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃), and carbon (glucose) in a controlled sintering process (700-800°C).
✅ Advantages:
In-situ carbon coating enhances conductivity.
Shorter process with uniform mixing.
Lower cost compared to alternatives.
Ferrous Oxalate (FeC₂O₄) Route – Traditional but declining due to ammonia emissions and higher costs.
B. Low-Temperature Liquid-Phase Synthesis
Hydrothermal/Sol-Gel Methods – Produce nano-sized particles for high-performance cells.
✅ Advantages: Superior consistency, better rate capability.
❌ Challenges: High equipment costs, complex process control.

Step-by-Step LiFePO4 Manufacturing Process (FePO₄ Route)

A streamlined, 8-stage production flow ensures high-quality LFP powder:
Precision Mixing – FePO₄, Li₂CO₃, and glucose blended into a slurry.
Wet Grinding – Particle refinement to D50 ~15µm for uniformity.
Magnetic Separation – Removes iron impurities for high purity.
Spray Drying – Converts slurry into free-flowing powder (D50 ~20µm).
High-Temp Sintering (Key Step!) – 700-800°C in nitrogen atmosphere forms LiFePO4 + carbon coating.
Jet Milling – Breaks agglomerates into ultrafine powder (D50 <2µm).
Final Screening – Ensures consistent particle size distribution.
Vacuum Packaging – Moisture-proof sealing (<0.01% H₂O) for stable storage.
