Customers who will receive these cathodes include the battery manufacturing, energy storage, and electric vehicle (EV) sectors
This follows the successful production of these materials at Integrals Power’s UK pilot plant.
The LFP and LMFP cathode materials, which are critical components in lithium-ion batteries, were fully manufactured in the UK.
These samples are now being distributed to key players in Europe and the US, enabling them to evaluate Integrals Power’s cathode materials for integration into their products.
Integrals Power Founder and CEO, Behnam Hormozi said: “We are thrilled to begin distributing these samples to our customers in the EU and US. The fact that these materials were manufactured on our UK pilot line is a proud achievement, and we are excited to see how they perform in the real-world applications of our customers in the EV, battery manufacturing, and energy storage sectors.”
LFP has garnered global attention for its safety, long cycle life, low-temperature performance, and sustainability benefits. As demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems continues to surge, this material is seen as a critical enabler of the green energy transition, and is accounting for a growing share of the global battery market: the International Energy Agency reports that in 2023, LFP supplied more than 40 per cent of global EV demand – more than double its share in 2020.
Building on the strengths of LFP, LMFP adds manganese to the mix, increasing energy density by up to 20% while maintaining the safety and cost-effectiveness that LFP is known for. Integrals Power achieved a breakthrough in reaching an 80 per cent manganese content instead of the 50-70 per cent typically found in existing blends: this offers greater performance in applications such as EVs, enabling it to compete with Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese chemistries while being more affordable and less reliant on critical minerals.
By offering these high-quality, UK-manufactured cathode materials, Integrals Power provides its customers with the opportunity to review, test, and, ultimately, integrate the materials into their battery and energy storage solutions. This close collaboration will help foster innovations that are essential to meeting the world’s growing demand for clean energy technologies and reduce reliance on China for these strategically important assets.
