Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry
| Types/Properties | Cathode | Anode | Reaction at anode (discharge) | Reaction at cathode (discharge) |
| LCO | LiPF or similar salt & LiCO3 as solvent | Li(x)C6 Lithiated graphite | C6Li -> 6C(graphite) + Li+ + e- | Li(11-x) + xLi+ + xe- ->LiCoO2(s) |
| LMO |
composite of LiMn2O4, Li2MnO3 & LiMnO2 |
Lithiated graphite | C6Li -> 6C(graphite) + Li+ + e- | MnO2+ Li+ + e- <-> LiMnO2 |
| NCA | LiNiCoAlO2 | Graphite | C6Li -> 6C + Li+ + e- | NiCoAlO2 + Li+ + e- <-> LiNiCoAlO2 |
| NMC |
LiNi(1-x-y)Mn(x)Co(y)O2 |
Graphite | C6Li -> 6C + Li+ + e- | Ni(1-x-y)Mn(x)Co(y)O2 + Li+ + e- <-> LiNi(1-x-y)Mn(x)Co(y)O2 |
| LFP | LiFePO4 | Graphite | i) LiPF6<->LiF + PF5 ii) LiPF6 + H2O<->LiF + HF + POF3 |
