6.11: Lithium batteries - Engineering LibreTexts
WEBAug 24, 2023 · The typical Li-ion cells use carbon as the anode and LiCoO 2 or LiMn 2 O 4 as the cathode. The first commercial Li-ion cell introduced by Sony in the 90's used a polymeric gel electrolyte, swollen by a high proportion of organic solvent for the Li salt. The translucent gel achieved a respectable ionic conductivity of 3×10-3 S cm-1 at 300 K.
WEBWith atomic number 3, lithium is the lightest metal with a density of only 0.53 g/cm3. It also has a very low standard reduction potential (Li+/Li couple -3.05 V vs SHE), thus making it suitable for high-density, high-voltage battery cells.
