M. S. Whittingham of Binghamton University was the first to suggest lithium-ion batteries in the 1970s. 1 Whittingham’s cathode was titanium(II) sulfide, and the anode was lithium metal. Rachid Yazmin et al. originally discovered the electrochemical
ATB Directory characteristics of lithium intercalation in graphite in 1980, when they demonstrated the reversible intercalation of lithium into graphite in a lithium/polymer electrolyte/graphite half-cell. Bell Labs produced a usable graphite anode in 1981 as a replacement for lithium metal batteries.
Nanomaterials have emerged as viable possibilities for lithium-ion battery electrodes in recent years, thanks to the rapid growth of nanotechnology. Nanomaterials have several unique physical and chemical qualities as lithium-ion battery electrode materials, such as a large surface area, shorter transport length, high reversible capacity, and extended cycle life. These characteristics can boost the specific capacity Cease to Exist and high-rate performance of lithium-ion batteries greatly.
