1991 ushered the Second Period (commercialization) in the history of lithium-ion batteries, which is reflected as inflection points in the plots "The log number of publications about electrochemical powersources by year" and "The number of non-patent publications about lithium-ion batteries" shown on this page.
The performance and capacity of lithium-ion batteries increased as development progressed. 1991: Sony and Asahi Kasei started commercial sale of the first rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The Japanese team that successfully commercialized the technology was led by Yoshio Nishi.
It is going to be at least five to ten years before any alternative technologies can compete on cost with lithium-ion technology. Li-ion is the lowest cost high energy density battery on the market. They are also readily mobile, even those used for grid storage as they are in shipping containers.
During the oil crisis of the 1970s, a chemist at Exxon named M. Stanley Whittingham, working on a new type of rechargeable battery, discovered that lithium ions could slip inside the gaps in a layered material called titanium disulfide. He created the world’s first lithium-ion battery, which sported a titanium disulfide cathode and a lithium anode.
The first rechargeable lithium batteries were built 50 years ago, at the same time as the Materials Research Society was formed. Great strides have been made since then taking a dream to domination of portable energy storage.
End-of-life batteries are more difficult to recycle, with their damaged materials and certainly less lithium than the virgin material. In addition, the chemical compositions of the materials are likely to change over the lifetime of a battery, so that process upgrading will be required.
Debunking Lithium-Ion Battery Charging Myths: Best Practices …
It''s recommended to store lithium-ion batteries at a 40-50% charge level. Research indicates that storing a battery at a 40% charge reduces the loss of capacity and the rate of aging. For instance, a study found that lithium-ion batteries stored at 40% charge retained approximately 97% of their power after one year, compared to around 94% when stored at 100%. Myth 10: Avoid Heat …

Lithium-ion battery
Most studies of lithium-ion battery aging have been done at elevated (50–60 °C) temperatures in order to complete the experiments sooner. Under these storage conditions, fully charged nickel-cobalt-aluminum and lithium-iron phosphate cells lose ca. 20% of their cyclable charge in 1–2 years. It is believed that the aforementioned anode aging is the most important degradation …
