History of the lithium-ion battery
Before lithium-ion: 1960-1975Commercialization in portable applications: 1991-2006Precommercial development: 1974-1990Commercialization in automotive applications: 2006-todayMarket
• 1974: Besenhard was the first to show reversibility of Li-ion intercalation into graphite anodes, using organic solvents, including carbonate solvents. • 1976: Stanley Whittingham and his colleagues at Exxon demonstrated what can be considered the first rechargeable "lithium-ion battery", although not a single component in this design was used in commercial lithium-ion batteries later. Whittingham''s cell was assembled in a charged state using lithium aluminum alloy as the negode, LiBPh4 (lithium tetraphenylborate
