Lithium ion battery development began in the 1990s and gained customer acceptance, making it the battery with the fastest-growing popularity. This was due to safety concerns with lithium metal batteries, which led to the exploration of lithium ion technology.
This milestone marked the beginning of the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries in various applications, from portable electronics to electric vehicles. The 2000s saw significant advances in battery technology, leading to the development of high-capacity and safer lithium-ion batteries.
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.
Although pioneer work on the lithium battery began in 1912, the first non-rechargeable lithium batteries became commercially accessible in the 1970s. An English chemist named Stanley Whittingham started working on the concept of a new battery that could recharge itself during this period, during the oil crisis.
M.S. Whittingham used titanium sulfide as the anode material and metallic lithium as the cathode material to create the first lithium battery. The anode material of lithium batteries is usually manganese dioxide or thionyl chloride. The cathode is lithium. This kind of battery has voltage after assembly and does not need to be charged.
In 1988, Sony applied for the first lithium battery patent and named the new product Li-ion battery. Although Sony’s cooperation in applying for the patent was similar to Goodenough’s earlier paper, Goodenough did not pursue it. In 1989, A.Manthiram and J.Goodenough discovered that cathodes using polymeric anions would produce higher voltages.

Under the supervision of Ryoji Kanno, an Institute Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, who has been involved in improving battery performance for more than 30 years, this series of articles explores lithium-ion batteries, from what they are to the status of research into the solid-state batteries called the next-generation lithium-ion batteries. This is a …
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. During the past two decades, the demand for the storage of electrical energy has mushroomed both for portable ...

• 2008: The launch of Tesla Roadster- the first highway legal, serial production, all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells, and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 244 miles (393 km) per charge- ushered a new era in the history of Li-ion batteries, which is signified 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 …
The Beginning of the Lithium Battery. For many years, the only suitable battery for portable equipment, such as mobile computing and wireless communications was nickel-cadmium. Pioneer work on the lithium battery began in 1912, however it wasn''t until the 1970s when the first non-rechargeable lithium batteries became commercially accessible.

Consumer lithium primary cells have been on the market for about 25 years, but the first commercial lithium ion secondary cell was introduced by Sony less than 10 years ago. Thus, in comparison with the period of evolution of traditional aqueous batteries, time for the development and optimisation of lithium battery technology has been very short, and significant …
The history of lithium batteries dates back to the early 20th century when researchers first began experimenting with lithium as an anode material. However, the technology remained largely dormant due to safety concerns and technological limitations. It wasn''t until the 1970-80s that lithium batteries found their way into commercial applications.
Thirty years ago, when the first lithium ion (Li-ion) cells were commercialized, they mainly included lithium cobalt oxide as cathode material. Numerous other options have emerged since that time. Today''s batteries, including those used in electric vehicles (EVs), generally rely on one of two cathode chemistries: lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which was …
Although patents were filed for organic-based battery electrolytes from 1952 onwards, the genesis of lithium batteries can perhaps be traced to the PhD thesis of W. Harris at the University of California, Berkeley in 1958. This was entitled Electrochemistry in Cyclic Esters, and was largely based on a study of propylene carbonate and its electrolyte solutions. Much of …
