2 unusual facts about Lithium-ion battery


JR Freight Class HD300

The new locomotive uses lithium ion batteries, and is designed to reduce exhaust emissions by at least 30% to 40% and noise levels by at least 10 dB compared with existing Class DE10 diesel locomotives.

M Stanley Whittingham

Dr. Whittingham is a key figure in the history of the development of Lithium-ion batteries discovering the concept of intercalation electrodes.


Acetylide

In the reaction in scheme 1 the alkyne proton of ethyl propiolate is deprotonated by n-butyllithium at -78 °C to form lithium ethyl propiolate to which cyclopentanone is added forming a lithium alkoxide.

Al–Li

Since lithium is the least dense elemental metal these alloys are significantly less dense than aluminium.

Canon PowerShot G

The G series offers features such as the use of a lithium-ion battery, an articulated LCD screen (G7, G9, G10 and G15 have a fixed panel), Raw image format capture (all models except G7), a lens with a wider maximum aperture than standard PowerShot models, remote capture (except G11), and faster electronics.

Copy Exactly!

A123 Systems, a US company that makes lithium-ion batteries, has recently repatriated its manufacturing operations after years of producing in South Korea and China.

Infiniti LE

In July of 2013, Nissan's head of global planning Andy Palmer said the LE is "not significantly" on hold, but delayed "a little bit" so that Infiniti can incorporate some "interesting advances in electric technology" like new lithium ion battery technology that will increase range and lower the price.

Jadarite

Jadarite's chemical formula is very close to the formula ("sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with fluorine") invented for the fictional substance kryptonite in the 2006 film Superman Returns.

Jimmy D'Anda

Over the years, Jimmy has recorded or toured with artists such as Lithium (whose songs were featured in the film Waking Up Dead), George Lynch and his band Lynch Mob, guitarist Greg Marra, frontman Jani Lane from Warrant as well as Mike Starr from Alice In Chains.

José Bonifácio de Andrada

Among his other discoveries was Petalite, a lithium-containing material, first discovered by Andrada toward the end of the 18th century on a trip to Sweden, and it was in this mineral Swedish chemists first discovered lithium.

He also was the first to discover another important lithium-containing mineral spodumene from the same source, an island near Stockholm.

Koralpe

In and around the Weinebene (also a popular recreational and hiking area) there are pegmatitic strata which contain significant amounts of Spodumene, making this area the largest known lithium deposit in Europe.

L-Tronics

Instead of the two 9V batteries used in the LH-16, the LL-16 employs six of the more commonly available 1.5V alkaline, NiMh, NiCd, or lithium-ion AA batteries.

Lithia Park

Upon analysis, the water was shown to have the second-highest concentration of (presumably beneficial) lithium in any natural spring (the highest being in the famous springs of Saratoga, New York).

Its name originates from lithium oxide (O) or "lithia," which is found in the stream water pumped to the park.

Lithia water

In 1949, psychiatrist John Cade discovered the anti-manic effects of lithium ions.

Lithium iron phosphate

Lithium iron phosphate has no known carcinogenicity whereas lithium cobalt oxide does because it contains cobalt, which is listed as a possible human carcinogen by the IARC.

Lithivm

The title of the film is a stylised spelling of Lithium which is used to treat people with schizophrenia.

Marek Gazdzicki

Starting in 1980, Gazdzicki participated in the SKM200 experiment at the Dubna Synchrophasotron, focusing on the investigation of hadron production in (He-Mg)+(Li-Pb) collisions at 4.5A GeV using a streamer chamber.

Mogens Schou

The psychopharmacological era began in earnest in 1949, with an article published by John Cade about the observed antimanic action of Lithium in Australia.

Nanoarchitectures for lithium-ion batteries

Silicon has been considered as an anode material because it supports larger amounts of lithium-ion intercalation.

Nanobatteries

"Liquid electrolyte is unstable in the presence of metallic lithium and will cause all sorts of problems. That is why it is imperative to observe the slow-charging rate rule with lithium-ion batteries," Donald Sadoway, MIT professor of materials chemistry and an electrochemistry researcher, explained to TechNewsWorld.

Potassium-ion battery

It is believed that potassium battery can replace lithium battery for large-scale energy storage because of its exceptional cycleability, as reported by the researchers of Northwestern University in Nature Communications.

Quebec Lithium Mine

At the beginning, Quebec Lithium had a five-year contract with Lithium Corporation of America for concentrates of Li2O (at 5 and 6%).

Schizoaffective disorder

These may include serum BSL if olanzapine has previously been prescribed, thyroid function if lithium has previously been taken to rule out hypothyroidism, liver function tests if chlorpromazine has been prescribed, CPK levels to exclude neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and a urinalysis and serum toxicology screening if substance use is suspected.

Sulfur hexafluoride

The United States Navy's Mark 50 torpedo closed Rankine-cycle propulsion system is powered by sulfur hexafluoride in an exothermic reaction with solid lithium.

Tata Swach

However, the purification system did not have bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties and it was incapable of removing impurities such as lithium, alcohols, ammonia, strong acids and bases or inorganic substances like sodium, lead, iron, arsenic and nitrates.

Télé-Québec

Télé-Québec (and its predecessor, Radio-Québec) was also assigned channel 2 in Rivière-du-Loup, channel 10 in Lithium Mines and channel 21 in Mont-Laurier.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

To obtain a separation by size and not by net charge, as in IEF, an additional charge is transferred to the proteins by the use of Coomassie Brilliant Blue or lithium dodecyl sulfate.
