Discharge Reaction C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li + )+( e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li +) +(e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li + )+( e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) +(Li + )+( e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li + )+( e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li + )+( e-) C6Li =6 C(graphite) + (Li + )+( e-)
Charge Reaction Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s) Li1-xCoO2 (s) + x (Li +) + x (e -) = LiCoO2 (s)
