For the metal element, see Lithium. A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging.
A recent life cycle analysis of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries highlights the importance of recycling to reduce their environmental and health impacts. The study, released last month by the US EPA, examined a range of battery chemistries including: â¢ lithium-manganese oxide. â¢ lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide.
