How can lithium batteries distinguish between positive and negative electrode materials?

Manganese dioxide is the main component of the positive electrode material for lithium batteries, used to generate chemical reactions during charging and discharging, and added to improve the performance of the battery. The negative electrode material of lithium batteries is metal lithium or its alloy metal, which is coated on copper foil or negative electrode.

The positive electrode material has always been the core of lithium-ion batteries, and its selection directly determines the performance of the battery. The selection of positive electrode materials mainly includes transition metal oxides for reversible lithium removal and lithium insertion, which are important components of lithium-ion batteries. The commonly used positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries include lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, and ternary materials. The commonly used negative electrode materials include carbon materials and silicon based materials.

In lithium-ion battery materials, negative electrode materials are an important component that can have a significant impact on the overall performance of the battery. At present, negative electrode materials are mainly divided into two categories. One is carbon materials for commercial applications, such as natural graphite and soft carbon, and the other is non carbon negative electrode materials that are currently in the research and development stage but have a promising market prospect, such as silicon-based materials, alloy materials, tin gold materials, and so on.

Summary; In terms of various lithium battery materials, the degree of improvement in profitability is not the same. For lithium-ion batteries, the commonly used positive current collector is aluminum foil, and the negative current collector is copper foil. To ensure the stability of the current collector inside the battery, the purity of both is required to be above 98%.
