Brief History of Early Lithium-Battery Development

Mogalahalli V Reddy et al. Materials (Basel). .

Abstract

Lithium batteries are electrochemical devices that are widely used as power sources. This history of their development focuses on the original development of lithium-ion batteries. In particular, we highlight the contributions of Professor Michel Armand related to the electrodes and electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries.

Keywords: anode; cathode; electrolyte; intercalation compounds; lithium batteries.
