Lithium (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) ''stone'') is a chemical element; it has symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the least dense metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored in vacuum
CoO 2 + Li + + e - → LiCoO 2. Oxidation takes place at the anode. There, the graphite intercalation compound LiC 6 forms graphite (C 6) and lithium ions. The half-reaction is: LiC 6 → C 6 + Li + + e -. Here is the full reaction (left to right = discharging, right to left = charging): LiC 6 + CoO 2 ⇄ C 6 + LiCoO 2.
The very first charge of a lithium-ion battery is usually done by the manufacturer because of the lithium in the electrolyte. When the battery is connected to a charger, a chemical reaction takes place involving the LiFePO4 on the cathode. This chemical reaction causes the compound to split into electrons, positively charged lithium
The structure of lithium ion battery components, such as electrodes and separators, are commonly characterised in terms of their porosity and tortuosity. The ratio of these values gives the effective transport coefficient of lithium ions in the electrolyte-filled pore spaces, which can be used to determine the ionic resistivity and corresponding

Generally, the negative electrode of a conventional lithium-ion cell is graphite made from carbon. The positive electrode is typically a metal oxide or phosphate. The electrolyte is a lithium salt in an organic solvent. The negative electrode (which is the anode when the cell is discharging) and the positive electrode (which is the cathode when discharging) are prevented from shorting by a separator. The el
