What is the chemistry behind lithium-ion batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries use a lithium-based cathode (e.g., LiCoO₂, LiFePO₄, or NMC), a graphite anode, and a lithium salt electrolyte. During charging/discharging, lithium ions move between electrodes via the electrolyte.
What are the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries?
Common drawbacks include: • Degradation over time (capacity loss after 500–1,500 cycles). • Sensitivity to extreme temperatures (performance drops below 0°C or above 60°C). • Recycling challenges (specialized facilities required).
What are lithium-ion batteries used for?
They power devices like: • Consumer electronics (smartphones, laptops). • Electric vehicles (EVs, e-bikes). • Solar energy storage systems. • Industrial tools and medical devices.
How do lithium-ion batteries work?
Lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode during charging (energy storage) and reverse during discharging (energy release). This process is enabled by the electrolyte and separator.
Are lithium-ion batteries allowed on planes?
Yes, under IATA guidelines: • Carry-on only: Batteries ≤100Wh (e.g., AA lithium-ion cells). • UN3480 compliance: Required for air transport.
How to recycle or dispose of lithium-ion batteries?
Never discard in regular trash. Use certified recycling centers or return programs.
What types of lithium-ion batteries exist?
Key types include: • LiCoO₂ (high energy density, for electronics). • LiFePO₄ (safe, long lifespan, for solar storage). • NMC/NCA (balanced performance, for EVs).
Are lithium-ion batteries compliant with Section II of PI966?
Yes. Large Power batteries meet IATA PI966 Section II for air transport, ensuring safe packaging and documentation.
