Integrals Power Develops Next-Gen Cathode Active MaterialIntegrals Power Develops Next-Gen Cathode Active Material
The material features a high manganese content to increase voltage (4.1V), boosting energy.

Integrals Power has successfully developed and validated its next-generation Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) cathode active material, which could increase electric vehicle range by up to 20%.
The company’s material technology delivers an LMFP material featuring a high manganese content to increase voltage (4.1V) while offering a similar specific capacity to the best Lithium Iron Phosphate materials, resulting in boosted energy density and nearing to more costly Nickel Manganese Cobalt chemistries.
“The challenge that the automotive industry has been trying to overcome for some time is to push up the percentage of manganese in LMFP cells to a high level while retaining the same specific capacity as LFP. Using traditional methods the more manganese you add, the more specific capacity drops, and this has meant it can’t deliver a high energy density," said Behnam Hormozi, founder and CEO, Integrals Power.
“Our proprietary materials and patented production processes have enabled us to overcome this trade-off and increase manganese content to 80%, placing us at the cutting edge of LMFP chemistry. With the third-party evaluation from the Energy team at GEIC, we’re proud to have developed a world-class cell material in the UK that can rival the performance of NCM but is more sustainable and more affordable, and will accelerate the transition to e-mobility, he added.
Battery cells made from Integral Power’s LMFP material have been tested and assessed by the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC).
“The dedicated team in the GEIC Energy labs provides comprehensive support in battery materials development and evaluation, bridging academic innovations and industry appetite to push next-generation technologies towards commercialisation," said GEIC’s Applications Manager in Energy, Nicky Savjani. "Our GEIC Energy facility, combined with its dedicated team of battery engineers, is driving the push for decarbonising the transport sector and reinforcing the UK’s leadership in developing sustainable battery technologies.
The battery cells we produced using Integral Power’s LMFP materials exhibited competitive specific capacity during testing, highlighting their potential to enhance EV efficiency and reduce costs by increasing range.”
Integrals Power produced the LMFP cathode active materials at its new UK facility, alongside its proprietary LFP chemistry.
