It's weird because there isn't anything on my google search that indicates any differentiation from Lithium Ion to Lithium Iron.
Probably because Lithium Iron is a subset of the group called Lithium Ion batteries where the Lithium Ions are what moves from the negative to positive electrodes. A Lithium Iron battery IS a Lithium Ion battery, but not all Lithium Ion batteries are Lithium Iron.

The lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, also called LFP battery (with "LFP" standing for "lithium ferrophosphate"), is a type of rechargeable battery, specifically a lithium-ion battery, which uses LiFePO4 as a cathode material. LiFePO4 batteries have somewhat lower energy density than the more common lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) design found in consumer electronics, but offer longer lifetimes, better power density (the rate that energy can be drawn from them) and are inherently safer. LiFePO4 is finding a number of roles in vehicle use and backup power.
