Brief history of batteries: In 1800, Italian scientist Volta invented the battery, and the unit of voltage "V" was named after him. His experimental tools were inspiring, and the name "battery" came from the charged pool, and two substances with a potential difference and a medium can form a battery. Early chemical batteries could only convert chemical energy into electrical energy, and the electrochemical reaction was irreversible and disposable, such as the alkaline manganese battery in 1955 and the zinc-manganese battery in 1866.
Lithium battery characteristics
Classification: Lithium-ion batteries are divided into liquid lithium-ion batteries (such as ICR18650 lithium batteries), gel polymer lithium-ion batteries (such as mobile phone batteries) and all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries due to different electrolyte states.
Advantages of lithium materials: Lithium is the lightest metal element with high electronegativity. The reduction potential of lithium ions can reach -3V and the working voltage exceeds 3V. These excellent qualities make it an ideal material for battery production.
Composition: Mainly composed of positive electrode (lithium compound), negative electrode (carbon material), diaphragm, electrolyte (soluble organic solution containing lithium salt), positive and negative electrode ears, protection plate, packaging shell, welding piece, wire, plug, etc.
