Figure.2 Model of Lithium Ion Secondary Battery
The secondary battery which uses lithium metal for a cathode was manufactured first in 1980's, but carbon materials are used for lithium component metal oxide (LiCoO2, LiMnO2, LiNiO2), a cathode in an anode now.
Carbon materials were adopted instead of lithium metal used for a cathode in the early days and therefore I stored up lithium with a form of compound (Li-GIC) between the class of graphite which they took lithium ion in between carbon hexagon network planes and I was remarkable and am able to have come to raise safety without I was original, and a problem and a dendrite (an arborization deposit) of the lithium metal that it was it occurring.
In addition, greatest theory capacity 372mAh/g (composition-type LiC6;) of Li-GIC The carbon body which they can store up lithium of high capacity to be far beyond first stage) is found, and small size lightweighting of a battery, high capacity are going to advance more.
In late years,@Electronics are phenomenally small,@light weight,@and enhanced performance progress .And the spread of mobile devices such as a mobile telephone and a note PC suddenly spreads.Because an electronic device and high efficiency of a secondary battery contribute greatly.
The secondary battery which is demanded in a recent electronics markethas a high energy density(Wh/l, Wh/kg) and be to be able to contribute to small size of the whole machinery and lightweighting.Above all, a lithium ion secondary battery has the following good point as mobile electronics use in comparison with various secondary batteries.
