6. Manufacturing Techniques
There are several methods developed to produce LiFePO4 but the two main categories are:
Solid State Processing Methods: needs high temperatures ( ºC), long sintering times (3- 18 hours), creates an ordered crystal structure in a simplistic way at sizes between 25 and 32 nm.
Solution Based Processing Methods: are less temperature intensive (80-800ºC), requires less time (<12 hours), creates more homogeneous carbon coating and crystal sizes are in the range of nm but more complex.
Other Novel methods: Microwave heating.

7. SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Light weight
Degrade faster if exposed to heat
High energy density
High initial cost
Self discharge is low: 1% per month
Life starts to degrade even with no use
Does not have memory effect
Low maintenance
Sealed cells
Environmentally friendly and recyclable
Not fire hazard
Lower lifetime cost

8. SWOT Analysis Opportunities Threats
A safe mobile power that can be used in many applications besides cars, example: residential PV systems, cranes
The most significant threat is that the initial cost is high
Enhance the usage of green energy technologies addressing instability problem
The industry is weary of Lithium batteries due to a history of fire incidents.
