A lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery. It has four key parts: 1 The cathode (the positive side), typically a combination of nickel, manganese, and cobalt oxides; 2 The anode (the negative side), commonly made out of graphite, the same material found in many pencils; 3 A separator that prevents contact between the anode and cathode; 4 A
READ MOREThe first rechargeable lithium battery was designed by Whittingham (Exxon) and consisted of a lithium-metal anode, a titanium disulphide (TiS 2) cathode (used to store Li-ions), and an electrolyte composed of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent. 55 Studies of the Li-ion storage mechanism (intercalation) revealed the process
