In this episode, Imogen Bhogal heads to Milton Keynes — not for the roundabouts, but for a deeper look at the next big thing in battery tech: LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate).
We visit Integrals Power, a UK startup developing LMFP battery materials that promise to deliver the energy density of NMC, with the thermal stability and affordability of LFP — the holy grail of EV battery chemistry. CEO and founder Benham Hormozi explains why LMFP has been so difficult to crack, how their material stacks up to giants like CATL and Tesla and what’s needed to continue scaling battery technology in the UK.
With real-world test results showing 20% energy density improvements and 5C discharge rates with 92% capacity retention, and happening right here in the UK!
