Lithium-ion batteries are electric devices that are broadly utilized as power supplies for electric and hybrid vehicles and consumer electronics. These batteries comprise negative (anode) and positive (cathode) electrode materials. These batteries charge and discharge by the way of a chemical reaction amongst the negative and positive electrode materials within the cell. They are more durable and efficient in nature as compared to other batteries and hence the global lithium-ion battery market is poised to grow exponentially in the coming years.
