Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry

1. About different types of Li+ion batteries Material and Chemical reactions.

 
Table 1 - Material Used.



Table 2 - Chemical Reactions.



In the above-all reactions at the cathode and anode, oxidation and reduction takes place based on charging and discharging occurs at electrodes.

 2. Li+ion batteries comparison based on their characteristics.
