Lithium battery is a primary battery with lithium metal or lithium alloy as cathode material and non-aqueous electrolyte solution. It is different from rechargeable battery lithium-ion battery and lithium-ion polymer battery.
Edison was the inventor of lithium battery. Because the chemical properties of lithium metal are very active, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal have very high requirements for the environment.
Therefore, lithium batteries have not been used for a long time. With the development of microelectronic technology at the end of the 20th century, the number of miniaturized equipment is increasing, which puts forward high requirements for power supply.
Lithium battery has entered a large-scale practical stage.
Difference between lithium battery and ordinary battery
Lithium battery is a kind of battery with lithium metal or lithium alloy as cathode material and non-aqueous electrolyte solution.
The earliest lithium battery came from the great inventor Edison. Because the chemical properties of lithium metal are very active, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal have very high requirements for the environment. It is more environmentally friendly and convenient than ordinary batteries.
