What is a battery? Batteries power our lives by transforming energy from one type to another. Whether a traditional disposable battery (e.g., AA) or a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (used in cell phones, laptops, and cars), a battery stores chemical energy and releases electrical energy. There are four key parts in a battery — the cathode (positive
Lithium-ion batteries, which prismatic cells are a part of, have a large range of energy. They can hold between 100 to 265 W⋅h/kg and have energy densities of 250 to 693 W⋅h/L. This shows how important they are in storing energy efficiently. Their charge and discharge efficiency is also great, ranging from 80% to 90%.
The chemical reaction in a rechargeable battery requires a reversible reaction between the two electrodes, and the concept of intercalation of Li + in a layered compound became an obvious strategy for the electrode of a rechargeable battery.
