LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Abstract
Technology is striving to keep up with today's society. We continuously require smaller, lighter and more autonomous equipment. The rechargeable lithium ion battery is the most important factor in determining the rate of development of modern day consumer electronics. Perhaps not surprisingly the transport of lithium ions (Li+) remains the preferred technology to achieve this. As a result and for the purpose of this review, only the Li-ion battery (rather than the Li-metal battery) will be considered. This contribution is interested in presenting the issues and challenges this technology has and will encounter. Given the huge volume of literature published on this subject, this report cannot aim to cover everything, for example, experimentals are not a point of focus. As a result, an introduction describing the way these batteries generically function will be presented and thereof the individual components of a......
