LFP chemistry

Why LFP

LFP is increasingly used in electric mobility and energy storage because it combines strong thermal stability, long cycle-life and cost advantages associated with iron and phosphate based chemistry. Epsilon is developing LFP solutions for power and energy applications across PHEV, BEV, 12V starter and energy-storage use cases.

Thermal Stability

LFP chemistry is valued for stable operation across demanding mobility and storage applications.

Cycle-Life Potential

LFP supports applications that prioritise durability and repeated charge-discharge operation.

Cost-Conscious Chemistry

Iron and phosphate based chemistry can reduce dependence on nickel and cobalt intensive cathode materials.

Power and Energy Applications

Epsilon's portfolio includes grades for PHEV, BEV, 12V starter and energy-storage requirements.

Platform pathway

From Technology Development to Industrial Scale

The Moosburg Technology Center supports materials research, demonstration-scale production and advanced cell testing. Epsilon's industrialization plan in India is intended to support the global and scalable cathode supply pathway.
