A FEW USES OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES 
(Ehow 1-4) 
The development of 
the lithium-ion 
battery dates back 
to the early 1900s 
Lithium was viewed 
as the ideal metal to 
use in a battery 
 
 
However, due to 
lithium’s ability to 
create large 
amounts of energy 
the batteries proved 
to be unstable 
HISTORY OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES 
(PMBL Limited 1) 
 In the 1970s 
lithium-ion batteries 
began to appear 
These early batteries 
could not be 
recharged 
Development began 
for a rechargeable 
version in the 1980s  
By the 1990s 
lithium-ion batteries 
started to be used in 
many devices using 
rechargeable 
batteries. 
Today the lithium-ion 
battery is one of the 
most common 
batteries in use   
HISTORY OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES 
(PMBL Limited 1) 
Lithium is the lightest of all the metal 
elements 
Lithium has the highest energy density per 
kilogram of lithium 
Lithium has the greatest electrochemical 
potential 
This makes it ideal for batteries because the 
batteries will be light and hold significant 
amounts of energy  
WHY LITHIUM-ION  
(PMBL Limited 1) 
 In a lithium-ion 
battery there is a 
positive electrode and 
a negative electrode  
The anode and 
cathode are 
submerged in an 
electrolyte  
The cathode is made 
from lithium cobalt 
oxide(LiCoO2) 
 
 
HOW DO THEY WORK 
The anode is made of 
carbon  
The battery has a 
separator between 
the cathode and 
anode  
Lithium ions from the 
cathode travel 
through the 
electrolyte and 
separator to the 
anode 
(Zhao 1) 
The electrons from 
the cathode travel 
through a metallic 
wire outside of the 
battery (Zhao 2) 
During this process 
3.7 volts are 
produced in the cell 
(HowStuffWorks 2) 
 
 
 
 In the recharging 
process all of this is 
reversed and the 
lithium ions are sent 
back to the cathode 
(Zhao 2)
