Süd-Chemie Life Power ® P2 is manufactured using
a proprietary wet process that produces LiFePO 4
with outstanding performance. The key contributor
to its superior electrochemical characteristics is
the presence of primary particles in a size between
100-300nm, that are formed in the precipitation
process. An image of the material is shown in the
Scanning Electron Micrograph in Figure 3 above.

figure 4: Specific Capacity of Life Power ® P2
Life Power ® P2 demonstrates a specific capacity of
almost 160mAh/g which is close to the theoretical
maximum value of LiFePO 4 (Figure 4).
In half cell measurements at a 10ºC rate,
Life Power ® P2 demonstrates a specific capacity
> 120mAh/g. This graph shows the potential of
LiFePO 4 for high power applications (Figure 6).
