About Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are the most popular type of battery used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. This article explores the development of Li-ion batteries and its potential to revolutionize energy storage in the future.
What Are Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries were first invented by John Goodenough and Akira Yoshino in the 1980s. The battery’s internal structure consists of lithium salts dissolved in an organic solvent, along with graphite at the negative electrode and titanium disulfide at the positive electrode.
