This means that during the charging and discharging process, the lithium ions move back and forth between the two electrodes of the battery, which is why the working principle of a lithium-ion battery is called the rocking chair principle. A battery typically consists of two electrodes, namely, anode and cathode.
Lithium ion batteries commonly use graphite and cobalt oxide as additional electrode materials. Lithium ion batteries work by using the transfer of lithium ions and electrons from the anode to the cathode. At the anode, neutral lithium is oxidized and converted to Li+.
The cathode of a lithium-ion battery is mainly composed of a lithium compound, while the prime element of the anode is graphite. When the battery is plugged in with an electric supply, the lithium ions tend to move from the cathode to the anode, i.e., from the positive electrode to the negative electrode.
Since lithium is more weakly bonded in the negative than in the positive electrode, lithium ions flow from the negative to the positive electrode, via the electrolyte (most commonly LiPF6 in an organic, carbonate-based solvent20).
We then identified three basic requirements for electrolyte designs that will ensure prompt Li-ion diffusion: low melting point, modified SEI film, and weak Li-ion affinity. Accordingly, we summarized recent emerging strategies in electrolyte design principles for low-temperature Li-ion batteries.
The lithium extraction mechanism of LM electrodialysis involve both ion association and ion exchange [10, 173, 174]. Electrochemical extraction and electromigration by the liquid membrane is comprised of TBP and ionic liquids (ILs) [10, 69, 173, 192].
