    3.4 LITHIUM NICKEL MANGANESE OXIDE or LNM (LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 ): The Lithium Nickel Manganese oxide battery is still in its experimental stages. It consists of a 25% nickel substituted in a LiMn2O4 spinel. This is because Manganese will have 4 electrons in its valence shell which will avoid the Jahn-Teller distortion caused due to the Mn3+. Due to the oxidation or reduction of Nickel ions which leads to the transfer of electrons which corresponds to electric current. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 takes shape in two

    This element, along with other alakali metals such as sodium and potassium, react drastically with water. Lithium is the least reactive of them. (bbc.co.uk). Being so reactive to water requires it to be stored in mineral oil otherwise it would react to the water vapor in the air. This is a soft metal, that has a 0.6 on the Mohs scale (Chemical Elements: From Carbon to Krypton. 2006.) Lithium in its pure form as stated is very reactive making it have to be extracted from other things because it

    longer lasting power source. In the article “Better Batteries charge forward”, Susan Gaidos explains how building a better battery could have the power to “jolt people to the future”. Gaidos begins by using statements made by material scientist George Crabtree of the Argonne national laboratory to acknowledge the accomplishments of the more traditional lithium-ion battery, and explain how new batteries could improve upon them. Lithium-ion batteries did alter individual electronics in an enormous way

    CHEM3004 LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES Abstract Technology is striving to keep up with today's society. We continuously require smaller, lighter and more autonomous equipment. The rechargeable lithium ion battery is the most important factor in determining the rate of development of modern day consumer electronics. Perhaps not surprisingly the transport of lithium ions (Li+) remains the preferred technology to achieve this. As a result and for the purpose of this review, only the Li-ion battery (rather

    Scientist and engineers believed that current technology was not advanced enough to produce a lithium-ion battery powered car. That technology was still years away from developing a functional and cost efficient car that could be used regularly in a person’s everyday life. Tesla motors is challenging this notion and have already made huge strides in advancing lithium-ion technology. They currently have released a few different models and are on now working on making an affordable and luxuries car
