The paper also compares how the different water content in a battery influences the battery’s capacity.

Water Update of NCM & LFP Electrodes when they’re exposed to 40% RH condition Furthermore, water hinders the battery to form a Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) layer which once again contributes to the faster decrease in performance of its battery.Īccording to a paper published in 2013 2), when LFP and NCM electrodes are exposed to 40% Relative Humidity (RH), water content in NCM electrode keeps below 750ppm while LFP electrode increases to more than twice within in an hour. These side reactions result in a faster decrease in performance of the battery. If the humidity is not well controlled, the water content in LFP battery increases which causes side reactions during its charge-discharge process. Hygroscopicityīecause LFP absorbs moisture from the air more easily than NCM, LFP requires a strict humidity control during its production process. When lithium and electron mobility are faster, a battery can realize higher power rating and higher energy density. LFPĪs a result, according to a journal published in 2010 1) by scholars in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, NCM’s lithium diffusion coefficient is 10,000 times faster than that of LFP in case of electron mobility, NCM is 1,000 times faster than LFP. While NCM’s lithium-ions can move in two different directions, LFP’s lithium-ions can only move in in one single direction. NCM battery features higher power rating and energy density compared to LFP battery due to its higher lithium diffusion rate and electron mobility. LFP Comparison Lithium diffusion coefficient, electron mobility Adoption rate per Chemistry in EV battery Market (Global) NCM vs. In the EV (Electric Vehicle) battery industry, while LFP battery adoption rate decreases, NCM battery adoption rate constantly increases and therefore, NCM battery adoption rate is expected to increase from 53% in 2019 to 64% in 2025. Li-ion Battery Capacity per Chemistry (Global) According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, NCM battery production capacity takes up 69% of the entire Li-ion battery production capacity. Within the world market for batteries, the Li-ion Battery market expands its production capacity centered on NCM battery. Li-ion Battery Market Trendĭue to its quality uniformity and high energy density, NCM batteries have become the most widely used component in the battery industry in total. NCM is composed of Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt and Manganese while LFP is made up of Lithium, Iron and Phosphate. The Battery type is usually named after its cathode materials such as NCM battery or LFP battery. Winding ProcessĪ Li-ion Battery is composed of four main parts: cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator. Advantages of using LG Energy Solution’s NMC technology.Lithium diffusion coefficient, electron mobility.We will explain, why our NCM battery technology is more durable, less heavy, better to manage and more environmental friendly. In this article, we would like to explain why NCM is the right choice of cathode material for LG Energy Solution batteries and why LFP based batteries should not be preferred compared over NCM batteries. We saw questions about performance, safety and sustainability, sometimes even resulting in recommendations to rather use LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) for residential as well as commercial batteries. In the past months, we often saw questions about whether NCM (Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) is the best material for being used as cathode material for our batteries.
