Lithium-ion Battery

1. **Cathode (Positive Electrode):** The cathode is typically made by applying lithium-containing compounds onto a metal aluminum foil. Common active materials include lithium manganate, lithium cobaltate, ternary materials (such as lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide), and lithium iron phosphate. The primary function of the cathode material is to store and release lithium ions. 2. **Anode…

Introduction to Metallic Lithium Lithium is a metallic element, positioned at the forefront of metals in the periodic table. Its chemical symbol is Li, and it is a silver-white, extremely soft, and highly reactive metal. It is the lightest metal among all metals, and in lithium batteries, it is typically used in the form of…
