The cathode LiMn2O4 in Li-ion batteries can be replaced by LiFePO4. The use of LiFePO4 has received widespread market approval because of its low cost, it is non-toxic, and iron's natural abundance. Determine which material has a higher percentage of lithium and identify which cathode will deliver greater power upon discharging.
