There are large number of lithium cells out there. Many of them look similar, but their specifications and ratings are what set them apart. There’s a very long list of lithium-ion battery specifications. Here we will look at the most important lithium ion battery specifications. Lithium Ion Battery Specifications Capacity The capacity of a cell […]
A lithium-ion cell is composed of four main parts: The cathode varies between different types of cells but is always a lithium compound mixed with other materials. The anode is almost always graphite, and sometimes includes trace amounts of other elements. The electrolyte is generally an organic compound containing lithium salts to transfer lithium ions. The porous
A fuel cell is defined as an electrochemical device that continuously converts the chemical energy of fuel into electricity and heat without combustion. Difference between Fuel Cell and Battery: A fuel cell is similar to other electrical cells (battery) in respect that both have the positive and negative electrodes with an electrolyte between them and
Following are the most common types of fuel cell Types of Fuel Cell Important fuel cell types are described here except the alkaline fuel cell (AFC) as it is discussed earlier. Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells (PAFC) A schematic diagram of phosphoric acid fuel cell is shown in Figure. It was developed in 1980s. It uses
Fuel cell technology is the new emerging technology. The development of this technology has started only few decades back and it is still under development for its commercial and economical use. In this article, I am going to explain the working principle of fuel cell. Working Principle of Fuel Cell A fuel cell is an
A nickel-cadmium cell has two plates. The active material of the positive plate (anode) is Ni(OH)4 and the negative plate (cathode) is of cadmium (Cd) when fully charged. The electrolyte is a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a small addition of lithium hydrate which increases the capacity and life of the battery. The specific
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the nickel iron battery construction, working principle, and compare its features with a lead-acid battery. So keep reading. The Nickel-Iron alkaline cell was developed by an American scientist Thomson A. Edison in 1909. Therefore it is also known as Edison-cell. Nickel Iron Battery Construction The nickel-iron battery

A lead-acid battery is the most inexpensive battery and is widely used for commercial purposes. It consists of a number of lead-acid cells connected in series, parallel or series-parallel combination. A lead-acid cell basically contains two plates immersed in electrolyte (dilute sulphuric acid i.e. H2SO4 of specific gravity about 1.28). The positive plate (anode) is
