    candidates for electrodes of a Lithium-ion battery. The next decade saw development on advanced battery systems based upon the insertion and removal of Lithium-ions into host compounds serving as both electrodes. Much of this work was associated with finding a suitable material to host lithium ions. Eventually in 1991, Sony introduced the first Lithium-ion cell with an operational voltage of 3.6 V. The best rechargeable batteries used today are that of the Lithium-ion battery technology as they
