Two of the commonly used battery compositions are LFP and NMC cells.
When it comes to construction, all the batteries have the same basic structure.
They have an anode, a cathode with an electrolyte solution, and a separator between the
two.
Both LFP and NMC are types of lithium ion batteries, but they use different materials
for
the cathode.
Electric bicycles & motorcycles: LFP cells have a relatively low risk of thermal runaway
and
a long cycle life, making them well-suited for use in electric bicycles & motorcycles
Energy storage systems: LFP cells have a long cycle life, making them well-suited for
use in
energy storage systems for residential and commercial applications.
Solar energy storage: LFP cells are also used in solar energy storage systems because of
their long cycle life and low risk of thermal runaway.
Electric vehicles: NMC cells have a higher energy density than LFP cells, making them
well-suited for use in electric vehicles, which require a high energy density to achieve
a
long driving range.
Grid-scale energy storage: NMC cells are also used in grid-scale energy storage systems
because of their high energy density and long cycle life.
Power tools: NMC cells are used in power tools due to their high energy density and long
cycle life
Consumer electronics: NMC cells are used in consumer electronic devices such as laptops,
tablets and smartphones due to their high energy density and long cycle life.
