Dow Energy Materials (DEM) has been committed to enhancing energy density through advancements in fundamental battery chemistry. Recently, the company unveiled a novel lithium manganese phosphate (LMFP) material boasting an energy density exceeding 150 Wh/kg. Compared to lithium iron phosphate (LFP), this new material shows a 10-15% increase in energy density within the same weight range.
A researcher at DEM, David Klanecky, noted that one of the primary goals in their R&D efforts is to double the current energy density levels. Their approach focuses on optimizing the cathode, anode, and electrolyte combinations. While scaling up production plays a role in cost reduction, he emphasized that continuous innovation in material properties holds greater potential for cost efficiency.
David further explained that LMFP materials operate over a broader voltage range than conventional LFP materials. DEM collaborated with its clients to conduct relevant tests, and they are now ramping up production. Feedback from battery manufacturers confirms the promising performance metrics observed in DEM’s labs.
This breakthrough marks a significant step forward in battery technology, and DEM remains optimistic about the future applications of LMFP materials. As the company expands its production capacity, it aims to meet growing demand while driving further improvements in energy storage solutions.
