Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
Some important design principles for electrode materials are considered to be able to efficiently improve the battery performance. Host chemistry strongly depends on the composition and structure of the electrode materials, thus influencing the corresponding chemical reactions.
The positive electrode has a higher potential than the negative electrode. So, when the battery discharges, the cathode acts as a positive, and the anode is negative. Is the cathode negative or positive? Similarly, during the charging of the battery, the anode is considered a positive electrode.
In a real full battery, electrode materials with higher capacities and a larger potential difference between the anode and cathode materials are needed.
Graphite and its derivatives are currently the predominant materials for the anode. The chemical compositions of these batteries rely heavily on key minerals such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and aluminium for the positive electrode, and materials like carbon and silicon for the anode (Goldman et al., 2019, Zhang and Azimi, 2022).
The anode is one of the essential components of the battery. It is a negative electrode which is immersed in an electrolyte solution. So, when the current is allowed to pass through the battery, it oxidizes itself, and the negative charges start to lose and travel towards the positive electrode. What is the Battery Cathode?
