ʻO kaPākahi LiFePO4ua hoʻomaka me John B. Goodenough lāua ʻo Arumugam Manthiram. ʻO lāua ka poʻe mua i ʻike i nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā pila lithium-ion. ʻAʻole kūpono loa nā mea anode no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pila lithium-ion. ʻO kēia no ka mea ua maʻalahi lākou i ka pōkole koke.

Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema he mau koho ʻē aʻe maikaʻi nā mea cathode nonā pila lithium-ion. A ʻike maopopo ʻia kēia ma nā ʻano pākahiko LiFePO4. E wikiwiki i mua ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kūpaʻa a me ka conductivity a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻano mea like ʻole, a me ka poof! Hānau ʻia nā pākahiko LiFePO4.

I kēia lā, aia nā pila LiFePO4 hiki ke hoʻouka hou ʻia ma nā wahi āpau. He nui nā noi pono o kēia mau pila - hoʻohana ʻia lākou i lokonā waʻa,nā ʻōnaehana solar,nā kaʻaa me nā mea hou aku. ʻAʻohe cobalt o nā pila LiFePO4, a emi ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka hapa nui o kona mau koho ʻē aʻe (i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa). ʻAʻole ia he mea ʻawahia a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o kona ola. Akā e hoʻokō koke mākou i kēlā. Loaʻa i ka wā e hiki mai ana nā manaʻolana mālamalama loa no ka pila LiFePO4.
