 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Article Draft[edit]
Lead: Lithium batteries are primary batteries that use lithium as an anode. This type of battery is also referred to as lithium-ion batteries (zeng,2014). Most commonly used for electric vehicles and electronics. The first type of lithium battery was originally created by the British chemist M. Stanley Whittingham in the early 1970s which used titanium and lithium as the electrodes. Unfortunately, this battery had complications from the high prices of titanium as well as the reaction produced a highly unpleasant and toxic scent. It took several attempts with other designs until we have come to todays lithium ion battery, which was modeled after the Whittingham attempt by Akira Yoshino in 1985.
