Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry

1 When the potential of the anode is low ions can plate making a metallic lithhium on the anode surface causing a themal runaway. When charging the negative electrode accepts electrons and is reduced. When discharging the negative gives away electrons it is oxidised in the process.

anode is the ( negative ) list of materials

1. Graphite
2. Hard carbon

2 cathode is the ( positive) list of materials

1. (NCA)
2. (NMC)
3. (LCO)

The three have the highest capacity

• (LMO)
• (LTO)

The two have high power density.
