Based upon an exhaustive examination into electrochemical attributes, thermal behavior, life cycle management aspects along with current trends within markets allow us to create a framework against which these most popular electricity storage alternatives might be assessed. Our results show LFP batteries are safer with life cycles beyond 2000 cycles at approximately 30 % lower costs than other similar battery technologies. They have enhanced heat resistance with the ability to operate effectively up to 60 °C besides having significantly reduced carbon footprints. On the other hand, NMC batteries have high energy densities, reaching 260 Wh/kg making them suitable for portable electronics and electric vehicles with a lot of power requirements although their costs are higher and there are environmental concerns associated with their cobalt and nickel content. The work confirms that LFP batteries are increasingly being adopted in markets due to cost advantages and safety improvements. We recognize the continued importance of NMC batteries in high performance areas due to their superior energy output ratings. LFP is recommended for applications requiring long lifetimes while NMC is ideal when high power is needed. The study indicates the need for better battery technology development towards improved efficiency and safety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100560,"journal":{"name":"Future Batteries","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142535576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Realistic driving schedules like WLTP is identified and continuously applied in cycling on commercial samples, investigating the capacity loss from a q-OCP perspective with an equilibrium model. In general, loss of lithium inventory is detected as the main degradation parameter, likely related to SEI growth. Recharge C-rate and load profile appear as poorly-affecting degradation, while a dominant role is associated with operating temperature.
