LFP

LFP is an acronym with several uses, but two of the most common in English-language contexts are Lithium iron phosphate and the Ligue de Football Professionnel.

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) refers to a type of lithium-ion battery chemistry in which iron phosphate serves as the cathode material. LFP batteries are valued for enhanced thermal stability and safety compared with many other lithium-ion chemistries, reducing the risk of thermal runaway. They typically offer long cycle life, often several thousand charge–discharge cycles, and are relatively inexpensive due to abundant materials. However, their energy density is lower than cobalt- or nickel-based chemistries, which can translate to heavier packs for the same stored energy. LFP cells are used in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage systems, and certain consumer electronics. They are also praised for robustness and wide operating temperature ranges, making them a popular choice for large-scale storage and budget-conscious applications.

Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) is the French professional football league organization responsible for the management of the country’s top two divisions, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. The LFP oversees competition formats, scheduling, and the management of commercial rights and broadcasting deals, operating within the broader framework of the French Football Federation (FFF) and European football governance. It represents member clubs in professional football matters and works to promote and develop the professional game in France through its competitions and related activities.
