Electrochemical energy storage: the lithium-ionbatteries

摘要

The increasing development of mobile consumer electronics (computers, cellular phones, videocameras...) as wel as needs either for electrical vehicles to reduce the car pollution or for spatial engines has prompted the scientific and industrial communities to provide new types of batteries displaying improved performances in terms of volume and weight reduction, of reliability, safety and longlife cycling. The traditional batteries currently used up to now, "lead" and "nickel/cadmium", canot provide all these properties. Moreover, lead and cadmium are considered to be poisonous.
