What is a lithium-ion battery?
A battery that cannot be charged in the past is called a primary battery. Rechargeable batteries are called secondary batteries. Nicard batteries are commonly used for secondary batteries. Ni-Cd (nickel cadmium) and Ni-Mh (nickel metal hydride) batteries commonly contain nickel. These batteries have a memory effect. The memory effect is explained next, and the lithium-ion battery is said to make a positive pole with lithium oxide and a negative pole with carbon. When you start using a mobile phone, it is said that lithium ions in the + pole pass through the intermediate material and enter the carbon grid of the-pole. At this time, it is said to have a long life characteristic because there is little loss in the electrode plate.
What is the memory effect?
In a battery made of nickel, a phenomenon in which OH drops and attaches from NiOH used as an active material transfers charges, which is the electrical flow of charging and discharging. Here, when shallow charge-discharge is repeated, that is, when a little is used, then a little bit is used, and a little bit is used and then charged, NiOH forms a solid solution. You will not be able to use the remaining capacity. This phenomenon, as if the battery remembers the limit of its usable capacity, is called the memory effect. Therefore, it is best to use a battery containing Ni (nickel) to fully charge (100% charge) and then use it until it is completely exhausted (but only up to the lower discharge limit allowed by the battery). However, since lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory phenomenon, the lifespan of the lithium-ion battery is almost unaffected even if the user arbitrarily recharges and uses it according to the surrounding environment. Rather, if you write a little, charge, write a little, and then charge it, it has the effect of prolonging the life of the Ni-based battery (the expression may not be accurate). For this reason, although lithium-ion batteries are much more expensive than Ni-based batteries, the demand is increasing and users are looking for them.
