Assuming a continuous increase in the average battery size of light-duty vehicles and a baseline scenario for the development of the market shares of LFP batteries,
Lithium manganese oxide is stored in lithium manganese oxide batteries, which are usually called manganese spinel batteries or Li-manganese cells (or lithium-ion manganese). The original battery technology was initially created in the 1980s and published in 1983 for the first time in the Materials Research Bulletin. Moli Energy''s first commercial lithium-ion cells,
Currently, these two chemistries represent over 90 per cent of lithium-ion battery sales for electric vehicles. In China, LFP will gain a larger share due to strong demand for mass-market EVs and well-established supply chains. This dominance will be bolstered by new LFP variants such as M3P and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LFMP).
