There are a wide number of chemistries used in Li-Ion batteries. LFP batteries avoid the reactivity, safety, and abuse sensitivity issues involved with the use of lithium metal cathodes by using phosphate for its cathode; no metallic lithium is present in the cell. 

There are a wide number of chemistries used in Li-Ion batteries.

• Oxide Base Lithium ion: Conventional lithium ion battery cathodes have been transition metal oxides that use cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), or nickel (Ni) based oxides
• Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP): Safest Chemistry uses chemically stable LFP which does not exhibit the energetic thermal runaway that metal oxide lithium ion cells experience.
