Lithium Ion Batteries: Fundamentals and Progress
Lu Jia, Lee Kim Seng
Rechargeable batteries of high energy and high power density are extremely desirable for portable electronics and especially for transportations. This chapter first introduces the working principle and recent development of lithium ion batteries. Special attention is then given to the limitations of current lithium ion batteries for high energy and high power applications. To solve this problem, an overview of cathode materials is provided, showing their potential of future application in advanced vehicles.
