Lithium Storage

Lithium storage in batteries involves the movement of lithium ions between two key parts: the anode (negative electrode) and the cathode (positive electrode). During charging, lithium ions travel from the cathode to the anode and are stored there. When discharging, they move back to the cathode, releasing energy that powers devices. The materials in the electrodes are engineered to facilitate this reversible flow of lithium ions, enabling the battery to be charged and discharged multiple times efficiently. This process is fundamental to how lithium-ion batteries work in everything from smartphones to electric vehicles.
