Battery chemicals

Listing ID #3334466

As the world moves increasingly toward electricity based fuel, one important aspect is storage of that energy. Solar cells can only generate power during daylight hours and electric cars need to bring the electricity with them. The need for high performance batteries is higher than ever.
Lithium ion batteries satisfy these needs and LTS supplies Lithium XYZ Oxide cathode materials in coin cells as well as our typical targets, powders, and shapeless pieces.
When evaluating battery materials, the factors of importance are Energy Density: the amount of energy stored per unit weight or sometimes per volume. Specific Power: the speed you can deliver that energy. Lifespan: how many charge-discharge cycles can the battery sustain before chemical changes render it too weak to function. Cost: self explanatory. We should also consider Safety since lithium has a tendency to cause fires, Durability against high and low temperatures and time, and Charge Rate.
