From this, LFP batteries can be said to be more toxic than NMC (in absolute terms) even though they produce on average less off-gas overall. However, the suffocation (from CO 2 emissions) and flammability hazards have to also be considered, discussed below.
Toxic gases released from lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires pose a very large threat to human health, yet they are poorly studied, and the knowledge of LIB fire toxicity is limited. In this paper, the thermal and toxic hazards resulting from the thermally-induced failure of a 68 Ah pouch LIB are systematically investigated by means of the Fourier
The basic structure of a LiFePO4 battery includes a lithium iron phosphate cathode, a graphite anode, and an electrolyte that facilitates the movement of lithium ions between the electrodes.

Moreover, phosphorous containing lithium or iron salts can also be used as precursors for LFP instead of using separate salt sources for iron, lithium and phosphorous respectively. For example, LiH 2 PO 4 can provide lithium and phosphorus, NH 4 FePO 4, Fe[CH 3 PO 3 (H 2 O)], Fe[C 6 H 5 PO 3 (H 2 O)] can be used as an iron source and phosphorus
However, the mainstream batteries for energy storage are 280 Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries, and there is still a lack of awareness of the hazard of TR behavior of the large-capacity lithium iron phosphate in terms of gas generation and flame.
