Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry
| Type of Li-ion | Anode material | Cathode Material | Reaction at anode | Reaction at cathode |
| LCO | Graphite (LiC6) | LiCoO2 | LiC6 --> C6 + Li+ + e- | CoO2 + Li+ + e- --> LiCoO2 |
| LMO | Graphite (LiC6) | LiMn2O4 | LiC6 --> C6 + Li+ + e- | Mn2O4 + Li+ + e- --> LiMn2O4 |
| NCA | Graphite (LiC6) | LiNiCoAlO2 | LiC6 --> C6 + Li+ + e- | NiCoAlO2 + Li+ + e- --> LiNiCoAlO2 |
| NMC | Graphite (LiC6) | LiNiMnCoO2 | LiC6 --> C6 + Li+ + e- | NiMnCoO2 + Li+ + e- --> LiNiMnCoO2 |
| LFP | Graphite (LiC6) | LiFePO4 | LiC6 --> C6 + Li+ + e- |
FePO4 + Li+ + e- --> LiFePO4 |
| LTO | Li2TiO3 | LiNiMnCoO2 |
Li2TiO3 --> TiO3 + 2Li+ + 2e- |
NiMnCoO2 + Li+ + e- --> LiNiMnCoO2 |
Different types of liquid electrolytes used in lithium ion batteries are ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate and propylene carbonate with dissolved lithium salt, and solid electrolyte which is mostly used is ceramic.
