| Description | The technological progress in the field of consumer electronics, machines, industrial practices and the growing concerns for global warming, have resulted in a quest for new and efficient energy technologies. Electrochemical energy storage technology offers a fascinating opportunity to tap into the abundant potential of renewable energies in an efficient manner. Among the various electrochemical energy technologies, Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted a significant amount of interest owing to their unique energy storage capabilities. Lithium being a light weight metal has excellent redox behaviour and it is extensively used as an electrode material in LIBs. A typical LIB basically consists of lithium or lithiated graphite as anode, lithium transition metal oxide (LTMO) as cathode and an organic solvent consisting of lithium salt as an electrolyte. The free energy change associated with the redox reaction in LIBs drives the electrical energy. During the charging and discharging processes, Li ions move back and forth between the anode and the cathode. The operative mechanism during the movement of Li ions between the positive and negative electrodes is termed as “intercalation and de-intercalation”. This intercalation process is driven by entropy rather than kinetics. The present Chapter will provide a detailed overview on the basic configuration of the battery, thermodynamic aspects of the LIB, various battery parameters such as voltage, capacity, energy density, power density, C-rate, columbic efficiency, and cycle life, among others. A detailed in-depth analysis on the desired requirements for an ideal anode, cathode and electrolytes is also presented. The general merits and demerits of conventional anodes and cathodes are discussed in detail. Book Name: Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries: Trends and Progress in Electric Vehicles |
