Summary

UC San Diego researchers have developed a new recycling method that transforms used lithium iron phosphate (LFP) EV batteries into lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) material, which offers higher energy storage capacity while maintaining the safety and longevity of LFP batteries. The process provides a greener alternative to traditional recycling and gives old EV batteries a more powerful second life.

Scientists at the University of California San Diego created a process that turns used lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery material into lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP).

This new battery type can store more energy while keeping the safety and long life that made LFP batteries popular.

Chen's research group had previously developed a method to restore old LFP batteries to fresh LFP material.
