Week 1 Understanding Different Battery Chemistry

1.

Cathode	Anode
Lithium Cobalt Oxide	Graphite
Lithium Manganese Oxide	Graphite
Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide	Graphite
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide	Graphite
Lithium Iron Phosphate	Graphite
Lithium Titanium Oxide	Graphite

During charging the lithium ion cells transfer from cathodes (positive electrode) to anodes (negative electrode). The positively charged ions transfer to the negative electrode and negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode.

During discharging the lithium ion cells transfer from anodes (negative electrode) to cathodes (positive electrode). The positively charged ions transfer to the positive electrode and negatively charged ions move to the negative electrode.
