【Guangzhou】New Energy Electric Vehicle - Lithium Iron Phodphate Battery Preparation

Lithium iron phosphate is a type of lithium battery, which is a lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material, characterized by solid safety stability, high-temperature resistance, and good cycling performance, which is widely used in the electric vehicle market; energy storage market, etc.

This program focuses on the fabrication and assembly of lithium iron phosphate batteries in a laboratory scenario and investigates the difference in battery performance with different raw material ratios.

I particularly enjoyed preparing lithium iron phosphate batteries and supercapacitors since I learned a lot of experimental knowledge from the two experiments. The process was very engaging, especially the assembly of the glove box and supercapacitors. Although my goal for studying abroad is mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry are closely related. Therefore, this experience has greatly benefited my future academic applications and my knowledge accumulation.

Grinding the electrode materials for lithium iron phosphate batteries made me realize the challenges of scientific research. Each step in the experiment requires researchers to approach it with patience and conduct it rigorously and meticulously. I experienced the harshness of research work through the high-temperature exposure from infrared lamps and the slow grinding. XLAB has also provided significant help and guidance for future studies in my chosen field.

I've gained the most significant rewards in collaborating on pre-assembling lithium-ion batteries. It has elevated my teamwork and communication skills, bolstered my practical lab abilities, and instilled in me the meticulous, diligent, and patient spirit required for research. Through the XLAB experiment, I delved into materials energy, confronting challenges typical of scientific inquiry. This experience has steered me towards disciplines in energy, where physics and chemistry are pivotal in their applications, and teamwork is integral to achieving fruitful outcomes.

I've gained a wealth of knowledge by learning to make lithium-iron phosphate batteries and supercapacitors. Through teamwork, we triumphed over challenges and relished the satisfaction and joy of completing experiments together. For me, the most rewarding moments were the two grinding experiments. Spending nearly an hour under the infrared lamp, repeatedly grinding materials tested our perseverance and team's coordination. To avoid burns, we had to take turns grinding. This experience toughened my resolve and gave me a clearer understanding of teamwork's importance. In the lab, teammates are indispensable, and I realized that some challenges cannot be solved quickly; they require enduring perseverance. Just like preparing for studying abroad, it demands lengthy preparation, accumulating knowledge, and mastering languages to better face the future.
