Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are ideal for both mobile and stationary applications due to their high energy density and compact size. NMC and NCA cells are especially common.
However, challenges include the use of expensive and controversial raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese. These batteries can also suffer from thermal instability.
To address these issues, LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries were developed — offering greater safety and lower cost without rare metals.
