Indigenous Electrode Material, Lithium Iron Phosphate LFP for EV Applications

Readiness Level:

IPDI Level: 7 (Checking Repeatability/ Consistency at Prototype Level)

Key Features:

1. Identified sources of cost-effective lithium and iron precursors.
2. The processing cost of 1 Kg of LFP is Rs. 3144 developed at ARCI.
3. Cost can be reduced by 20% by designing suitable cost-effective large capacity furnace and optimum heating cycles with less time.
4. ARCI developed LFP’s electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacity; cyclic stability and rate capability is at par with the performance of the commercially available LFP.
5. Considering the existing facilities for LFP the batch size is 29 kgs per day is being produced.

Possible Applications:

1. LiB batteries used in electric vehicle applications.
