Lithium-ion battery benefits
Technological improvements in rechargeable solid-state batteries are being driven by an ever-increasing demand for portable electronic devices. Lithium-ion batteries are the systems of choice, offering high energy density, flexible and lightweight design, and longer lifespan than comparable battery technologies. We present a brief historical review of the development of lithium-based rechargeable batteries , highlight ongoing research strategies, and discuss the challenges that remain regarding the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical performance and safety of these systems Lithium Ion battery cells are known for their enormous energy density. They are able to store more energy per pound than any of the traditional battery packs. That makes them very popular for portable electronics, vehicles, etc. They don't have the memory effect that nicad does, and they perform the best at deep discharge applications compared to nicad or nimh. Environmentally they are safer to dis...
