The world is shifting greener and while people have always wanted electric cars and inexpensive solar battery, battery technology just wasn’t good enough to store energy till now.
The lithium ION battery solves this problem for two major reasons relating to lithium
- Lithium has extremely high electrochemical potential- making it much more efficient to use in everything from electronics to energy storage
- Lithium is the lightest metal on the periodic table. Batteries need to as light as possible, especially in electric cars.
In few years lithium will be able to light our homes for full day. Sadly this would be one more thing that we will have to import as India is not into lithium production due to topography.
