Carbon-Coated Lithium Iron Phosphate — Grades & Specifications
Carbon-Coated Lithium Iron Phosphate (C@LiFePO4) powder is supplied across a range of grades, particle sizes and coating ratios. The options below are typical; specify your target values in the request form and we will confirm availability, lead time and pricing.
| Material | Carbon-Coated Lithium Iron Phosphate (C@LiFePO4) |
|---|---|
| Category | Carbon-Coated Powder |
| Core material | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) (CAS 15365-14-7) |
| Coating / shell material | Amorphous carbon |
| Coating content | Commonly around 1.5 wt% carbon on commercial-grade cathode powder, with literature reporting a broader 1-5 wt% range and shell thickness of roughly 1-10 nm |
| Particle size | D50 approximately 0.9-1.3 um; BET surface area around 13 m²/g on representative commercial-grade material |
| Morphology | Olivine-structured LiFePO4 primary particles (often nanoplate-shaped) individually encapsulated in a thin conductive carbon shell, agglomerated into micron-scale granules |
| Appearance | Black to gray-black powder |
| Electrochemical Performance | First discharge capacity above 155 mAh/g at 0.1C with first-cycle efficiency above 96% on representative commercial-grade material; the carbon coating raises LiFePO4's intrinsically low electronic conductivity by orders of magnitude to achieve practical rate capability |
| Typical applications | EV & PHEV Traction Batteries, Energy Storage System (ESS) Batteries, Electric Two/Three-Wheeler Batteries, Power Tool Battery Packs |
