Is LMFP the next big thing for EV batteries?

While LiMn_xFe_1-xPO₄ (LMFP) cathode materials have been investigated academically for decades, they have been adopted by dominant battery manufacturers only in the past three years. What has prompted this sudden commercial interest? What market share might LMFP gain, can it outpace LFP and NMC? What are the outstanding limitations, and how might these be overcome?

In this webinar, we aim to answer these questions, covering challenges ranging from the fundamental characteristics of LMFP to large-format cell manufacture and industry trends. We will also showcase recent research carried out at WMG to better understand LMFP behaviour and how AI can be used to design improved LMFP electrode microstructures to enable fast charging.

Join this webinar to find out how this emerging material may alter the EV and battery manufacturing landscape.

Gerard Bree is an assistant professor in the battery materials and cells (BMAC) research group at WMG at the University of Warwick, where he carries out research to better understand how lithium-ion battery performance can be improved so that batteries provide more energy over a longer lifetime at a lower cost. He is interested in the interaction between academia and the battery industry and works on many projects supporting companies to build a battery supply chain in Europe. Bree received his undergraduate degree from Trinity College Dublin and his PhD from the University of Limerick.
