1. The working principle of lithium-ion battery As we all know, lithium-ion batteries use lithium cobalt oxide as the anode and carbon as the cathode. Lithium-ion batteries work by charging and discharging. When the battery is charged, lithium ions are formed at the positive electrode of the battery, and the lithium ions pass through the electrolyte to the negative electrode. Negative carbon has a layered structure with many micropores. Lithium ions reaching the negative electrode are embedded in the micropores
