General description

Iron(III) Phosphate, battery grade, anhydrous, with a purity of ≥99.9%, and low trace metals (≤ 100 ppm trace metals), is a high-purity material specifically designed for use in advanced energy storage systems. We offer it with very low water content (<2%), low sulfate (<50 ppm) and Chloride (≤ 50 ppm) as impurities.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. This product belongs to an Enabling category. Iron(III) phosphate and its lithiated form represent a promising greener alternative for lithium-ion battery technology. Their use can lead to more sustainable, safer, and potentially less expensive batteries, while ongoing research in recycling methods further enhances their environmental benefits.

Application

Iron(III) Phosphate, battery grade, anhydrous, ≥99.9% trace metals basis is designed to use in rechargeable battery research. It can be used as a precursor in the production of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) for use in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) particularly in the cathode material.


Also it is suitable to use as a precursor cathode material in Sodium ion battery research (SIBs). Recent electrochemical experiments have shown that the FePO4/C electrode demonstrates a high initial discharging capacity of 151 mAh g–1 at 20 mA g–1, stable cyclablilty (94% capacity retention ratio over 160 cycles), as well as high rate capability (44 mAh g–1 at 1000 mA g–1) for Na-ion storage.


It can be used as an efficient catalyst for the chemo selective acetylation of alcohols and phenols under solvent free condition at room temperature and with high yields. Apart from the product also widely used in waste water purification and ferroelectric applications. [,]

Features and Benefits

1)Iron(III) Phosphate, battery grade, anhydrous, ≥99.9% trace metals basis is Specifically engineered for use in battery technology, particularly in the synthesis of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cathodes.

2) The absence of water content reduces the risk of unwanted side reactions, making it suitable for research applications where moisture sensitivity is a concern, such as energy density, cycle life, and charge/discharge rates, which are critical factors in the performance of modern batteries.
