Lithium batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium ions as the primary component of its electrochemistry. They are known for their high energy density, lightweight, and ability to retain charge over a long period. Lithium batteries operate by the movement of lithium ions from the anode to the cathode during discharge and back during charging. Commonly used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems, these batteries have largely replaced older battery technologies due to their superior performance and efficiency. Key characteristics include a longer lifespan, low self-discharge rate, and a high number of charge cycles compared to other rechargeable batteries.
Solid state batteries have long been touted as the next big breakthrough in rechargeable battery technology. Promising faster charging times, higher energy density, improved safety, and longer lifespan, these batteries…
