School Experiments on Different Lithium Batteries

Lithium-ion based batteries are the most commonly used energy storage systems for electronic systems like tablets, smartphones, etc. in present times. Moreover, lithium ion-batteries are “the beacon of hope” for the automotive industry for the use in electric and hybrid cars and for the energy revolution to be applied as a short-time energy storage. However, other lithium-metal-based batteries are used in everyday life, such as lithium-manganese dioxide battery or lithium-iodine-battery. These types of batteries are much less known, but are used very frequently in everyday life. In this article simple experiments with lithium-batteries are presented.
