A generational change in the research of lithium ion batteries has
made possible for the EV and ESS at a large scale and moving in the
direction of affordability to provide all. Coupled with this, increase
in purchasing power of consumers in developing economies has driven
demand of lithium ion batteries such that we need a lot of gigafactories
and in the near future terafactories also.
This all would never
happened if the past discoveries haven't happened. To list a few, the
history of batteries and transition to lithium ion batteries is focused
here below:
History:
200 B.C.: Baghdad battery, a earthen
pot of 5inch tall containing a copper cylinder and a iron rod seperated
by bitumen, possibly used for mild electrotherapy or electroplating
1748: Benjamin Frankin first coined the word Battery to describe multiple Lyden Jars acting as electrical devices
1800: Alessandro Volta built first electrochemical Battery, the voltaic pile with copper and zinc plates in brine water.
1834: Micheal Faraday explained the corrosion in voltaic pile as the consequence of reaction.
1836: John Frederic Daniell built first stable voltage cell used in practical application.
......
1970: M Staneley Wittingham developed Lithium ion battery using titanium sulfide and Lithium metal as the electrodes.
Reversible intercalation in graphite and intercalation into cathodic oxides was discovered by J. O. Besenhard
1977: Samar Basu demonstrated electrochemical intercalation of lithium in graphite.
1979:
John Goodenough and Koichi Mizushima demonstrated battery with lithium
cobalt oxide as stable cathode and lithium metal as anode. In a
seperate group, Godshall et al., has worked on LCO, LMO compounds and
LFO compounds before Goodenough for which he was awarded patent on LCO
in 1982.
1980: Rachid Yazami demonstrated the reversible
electrochemical intercalation of lithium in graphite which is commonly
used today.
1983: Michael M. Thackeray, Goodenough, and coworkers identified manganese spinel as cathode.
1985: Protoype of Li battery by Akira yoshino.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 "for the development of lithium-ion batteries" |
1989: Goodenough and Arumugam Manthiram showed cathodes with polyanions like sulfates.
1991: Sony developed first commercial Li-ion battery.
1996: Goodenough, Akshaya Padhi and coworkers proposed lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and other phospho-olivines
1998: Johnson et al., report high capacity high voltage lithium-rich NMC cathode materials
2002:
Yet-Ming Chiang and his group at MIT showed a substantial improvement
in the performance of lithium batteries by boosting the material's
conductivity by doping it with aluminum, niobium and zirconium.
2004:
Chiang increased performance by utilizing iron phosphate particles of
less than 100 nanometers in diameter. This decreased particle density
almost one hundredfold, increased the positive electrode's surface area
and improved capacity and performanc.
2005: Wittingham et al., reported high energy density vanadium phosphate cathode material.
2019: Nobel Prize in Chemistry to John Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino for development of LIB's
