Lithium iron phosphate battery is a type of battery belonging to the lithium-ion battery family, which uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the positive electrode material and carbon as the negative electrode material. It is a lithium-ion battery widely used in new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and other fields. It has gained widespread attention and research in recent years due to its high energy density, long lifespan, and good safety performance.
During the charging process of lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium ions are removed from the positive electrode material, passed through the electrolyte separator, and embedded into the negative electrode material. At the same time, electrons flow from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through an external circuit, maintaining charge balance. The discharge process is the opposite, where lithium ions detach from the negative electrode material, penetrate the separator, and embed into the positive electrode material. Electrons flow from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through an external circuit, releasing energy.
