Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry

Question

The following table has been prepared with the materials and the chemical reactions at the anode and the cathode for each type of battery. The reactions presented are for the discharge process:

Type of battery	Anode material	Reaction at anode	Cathode material	Reaction at cathode
LCO (Lithium cobalt oxide)	Graphite	`C_6Li-> 6C+Li^++e^-`	Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2)	`CoO_2 + Li ^(+) + xe^(-) ->LiCoO_2`
LMO	Graphite	`C_6Li-> 6C+Li^++e^-`	Lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4)	`Mn_(2)O_(4) +Li^(+)+e^(-)->LiMn_(2)O_(4)`
NCA	Graphite	`C_6Li-> 6C+Li^++e^-`	Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2)	`NiCoAlO_(2) +Li^(+)+e^(-)->LiNiCoAlO_(2)`
NMC	Graphite	`C_6Li-> 6C+Li^++e^-`	Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO2)	`NiMnCoO_(2) +Li^(+)+e^(-)->LiNiMnCoO_(2)`
LFP	Graphite	`C_6Li-> 6C+Li^++e^-`	Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)	`FePO_(4) +Li^(+)+e^(-)->LiFePO_(4)`
LTO	Lithium Titanate (Li4Ti5O12)	`Li_(2)TiO_(3)->TioO_(3)+2Li^(+)+2e^(-)`	lithium manganese oxide (LMO) or Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC)	`Mn_(2)O_(4) +Li^(+)+e^(-)->LiMn_(2)O_(4)`
