Understanding the Special Charging Needs of LiFePO4 Batteries LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries are renowned for their safety, longevity, and efficiency, making them a preferred choice for various applications, from electric vehicles to renewable energy storage systems. However, a key aspect that users must consider is the necessity of using a special charger tailored to […]
Three years ago, sodium ion batteries emerged as a replacement to solve the problem of soaring raw material prices and production shortages for lithium batteries. And then gradually disappeared. In 2022, against the background of soaring prices of lithium battery raw materials, the concept of sodium-ion batteries suddenly exploded. Major battery manufacturers have successively launched […]
What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team led by TU Delft has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the number of times lithium ion battery can be charged and discharged. Their results have been published in Nature. Rechargeable batteries are a […]
The difference between Li-PO battery and metal casing lithium battery mainly refers to the material of the shell. Polymer batteries are just liquid lithium-ion batteries with a polymer shell. Structurally, it is packaged with aluminum-plastic film. If a safety hazard occurs, the aluminum-plastic film of the battery will only inflate and crack at most. The metal casing lithium-ion battery is made […]
Charge-recharge cycling of lithium-super-rich iron oxide, a cost-effective and high-capacity cathode for new-generation lithium-ion batteries, can be greatly improved by doping with readily available mineral elements. The energy capacity and charge-recharge cycling (cyclability) of lithium-iron-oxide, a cost-effective cathode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, is improved by adding small amounts of abundant elements. The development, achieved by […]
