Lithium Ion Batteries

Did you know, 1st Li-ion battery was invented in mid 1970’s by a chemist named Stanley Whittingham?        

The Design: The Lithium-Ion batteries are electrochemical devices that store energy by moving lithium ions between electrodes. The first design had Lithium metal as one electrode and titanium disulfide for the other.

The Challenge: The earliest design had impressive features like high energy density; however, it lacked safety features. Advancements in battery technology enabled the development of the safe and reliable lithium-ion batteries we rely on today in countless devices.

Current Scope: Lithium-ion batteries have become the powerhouses of our modern world, driving everything from the tiny smart watches on our wrists to the electric buses running on streets. Their reach extends even further, playing a vital role in storing renewable energy on a massive scale for our power grids.
