Abstract

Abstract There have been striking advances in the technology of ambient temperature rechargeable lithium cells during the middle and late 1970s. Discoveries of new and attractive cathode systems, along with developmental efforts on some, have contributed significantly to this. A survey of the status of the positive electrodes is presented. Insoluble solid cathodes which undergo intercalation or topochemical electrode reactions appear to be the most promising for immediate application in practical cells. There are presently available several such materials suitable for fabricating cells with high energy density, rate capability, and rechargeability. It is hoped that this account will direct the attention of investigators in this area to promising systems with the result that research and developmental efforts on practical rechargeable Li batteries will be accelerated.
