In this Instructable, I will show you, how to make a LiFePO4 Battery Pack for applications like Off-Grid Solar System, Solar Generator, Electric Vehicle, Power wall, etc. The fundamental is very simple: Just to combined the number of LiFePo4 cells in series and parallel to make a bigger pack and finally to ensure safety by adding a BMS to it.
The production process of a lithium-ion battery cell consists of three critical stages: electrode manufacturing, cell assembly, and cell finishing. The first stage is electrode manufacturing, which involves mixing, coating, calendering, slitting, and electrode making processes.
As lithium ions are removed during the charging process, it forms a lithium-depleted iron phosphate (FP) zone, but in between there is a solid solution zone (SSZ, shown in dark blue-green) containing some randomly distributed lithium atoms, unlike the orderly array of lithium atoms in the original crystalline material (light blue).
In LiFePO4 batteries, the iron and phosphate ions form grids that loosely trap the lithium ions as shown in Figure 2. During the charging of the cell, these loosely trapped lithium ions easily get pulled to the negative electrode through the membrane in the middle.
Challenges: With the availability of different electrochemical materials, the lithium based battery system can be designed to a specifical application regarding voltage level, SOC, lifetime, and safety. The electrochemical couples can also be used to design batteries as per the available energy.
The second stage is cell assembly, where the separator is inserted, and the battery structure is connected to terminals or cell tabs. The third stage is cell finishing, involving the formation process, aging, and testing. Here is an overview of the production stages:
The cathode material of a lithium-ion battery can account for approximately 40-50% of the total battery cost , however, with the current increase in lithium prices, this is now closer to 60%. This project explores the production of LFP using sol-gel deposition which is shown to produce product with increased homogeneity.
