Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry

Aim

To prepare a table which includes materials and chemical reactions occuring in the Lithium Ion batteries of cathode and Anode.

Lithium-ion Battery:

• A lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is an advanced battery technology that uses lithium ions as a key component of its electrochemistry.

• During discharge lithium ions in anode is seperated from their electrons.

• The electrons in the anode moves to the cathode and neutralizes.

• During Charging, vive versa of what happens during discharging. The electrons from cathode moves to anode.

• Li-on batteries are capable of having a ahigh voltage and charge storage per unit mass and volume.

Types of Lithium-Ion battery:

Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) - LCO

Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4) - LMO

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2) - LFP

Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) - LFP

Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2) - NCA

Lithium Titanate (Li2TiO3) - LTO

Conclusion:

The table includes diffrent types of lithium ion batteries and its chemical reactions.
