LMFP
Lithium iron phosphate with part of the iron replaced by manganese, which lifts the average voltage to about 3.8 V and so the energy density by 10–20 % while keeping most of LFP’s safety and cost advantages.
- Also called
- lithium manganese iron phosphate
Example
Lithium-ion chemistries and cell formats: an example situation
Two cylindrical cells can share dimensions yet differ in cathode, capacity and current limits.
Read LMFP alongside Cathode active material in this context. The lithium-containing compound in the positive electrode — NMC, NCA, LFP or LCO powder — that supplies the cell’s cyclable lithium. It is the most expensive material in most cells and sets the nominal voltage and much of the energy density.
Use in Lemonergy
Separate chemistry from form factor.
This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
