1. Basic properties and characteristics of Li-ion batteries

1.3. Lithium

  • Production: ore mining (spodumene, Li2O.Al2O3.4SiO2) → lithium chloride production → electrolysis
  • Beketov series of metals - according to the standard electrode potential (potential related to the hydrogen electrode, H has a potential of 0 V).
  • Lithium is at the top in the standard electrode potentials table, i.e. it has the highest electrode potential: -3.04 V
