Reaction at cathode |
LCO:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
cathode is typically made of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂)
When Li⁺ ions move from the cathode to the anode, the cathode releases electrons (e⁻) to the external circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
• The anode is typically made of graphite. As Li⁺ ions move into the anode, they are absorbed into the graphite structure.
LMO:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
cathode is typically made of lithium cobalt oxide (LiMO₂)
When Li⁺ ions move from the cathode to the anode, the cathode releases electrons (e⁻) to the external circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
• The anode is typically made of graphite. As Li⁺ ions move into the anode, they are absorbed into the graphite structure.
NCA:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
At the cathode (NCA), lithium ions are extracted from the metal oxide structure, typically composed of lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNiCoAlO₂).
When Li⁺ ions move from the cathode to the anode, the cathode releases electrons (e⁻) to the external circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
• The anode is typically made of graphite. As Li⁺ ions move into the anode, they are absorbed into the graphite structure.
NMC:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
lithium ions are extracted from the metal oxide structure, typically composed of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO₂).
When Li⁺ ions move from the cathode to the anode, the cathode releases electrons (e⁻) to the external circuit, creating a flow of electricity.
• The anode is typically made of graphite. As Li⁺ ions move into the anode, they are absorbed into the graphite structure.
LFP:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
lithium ions are extracted from the iron phosphate structure (LiFePO₄).
• The anode typically consists of graphite or another lithium-intercalating material. As lithium ions move into the anode, they are absorbed into its structure.
LTO:
lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the positive electrode (cathode) to the negative electrode (anode) through the electrolyte.
• In the cathode (LTO), lithium ions are extracted from the lithium titanate structure (Li₄Ti₅O₁₂).
