The Nobel committee also highlighted the role that the battery might have in creating a more sustainable future as nations try to move away from fossil fuels. Batteries are increasingly being used to store energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, it notes. Islam adds that rechargeable batteries being developed for electric vehicles will have a crucial role in improving air quality, as well as lowering greenhouse-gas emissions.
Grey, who has collaborated with Whittingham, says that a number of people have made major contributions to developing the technology, but that the committee made a good choice.

Advanced search. In , the group of Armand reported a novel salt: lithium bis trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide LiTFSI [ 57 ], now commonly used as an Li-ion conducting electrolytes for Li-ion batteries and later on a new class of single-ion solid polymer [ 58 , 59 ] and solvent-in-salt electrolytes [ 60 ], which gives more evidence that Armand was one of the researchers that played a major role in the development of lithium-ion batteries in the period of time covered in this review.
Actually, the period of time where he played a major role is continuing. Further details, including the more recent contributions of Armand to the field of electrolytes, were discussed in a recent review [ 46 ], but his recent contributions include advanced materials in all components, including electrodes, of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries [ 61 , 62 ]. Prior patents that paved the route to the present Li-ion batteries are reported in Table 1 , and the increase of the energy density of the batteries through the early years of rechargeable batteries is illustrated in Table 2.
Note, however, that this figure can only give a partial view of the progress since energy density is not the only parameter that is meaningful. For instance, a battery with an LiFePO 4 cathode and a Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 anode can be cycled over 30, cycles at very fast rate of 15C 4 min and a discharge rate of 5C 12 min [ 63 ].
This performance gives interest to such a battery for some applications, even though its energy density is smaller than that of the LiFePO 4 -graphite battery, since the operating voltage of the battery is reduced by 1. Table of the main early rechargeable lithium batteries that were commercialized before Note that they all have a lithium metal anode, with the first lithium-ion battery with a carbon anode dating to and the rocking chair concept Michel Armand dating to The stability of different electrolytes and the Li-polymer cell architecture proposed by Professor Michel Armand are illustrated in Figure 1.
For completeness, we mention the separator, which is the last important component of lithium-ion batteries. This element, however, has raised much less trouble than electrodes and electrolytes. Mallory and Co. Actually, most of the lithium metal batteries developed in the early s already used a non-woven polypropylene separator. Fundamental works on lithium-ion batteries date from the s, and remarkable progress has been made since the s. The first commercial lithium-ion battery was issued in , making it a rather short period of time between work in laboratories and the industrial production.
In this review, we reported the main steps that led to this success. Among the people that contributed to this success from this beginning up to now, Michel Armand has played a key role in the creation and development of lithium-ion battery cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes.

Abstract Lithium batteries are electrochemical devices that are widely used as power sources.
Keywords: intercalation compounds, lithium batteries, electrolyte, cathode, anode. Intercalation Cathode Development In the early s, research was rekindled in the area of the intercalation reactions of an ion, atom, or molecule into a crystal lattice of a host material without destroying the crystal structure.
Development of Anode Materials In addition to the development of positive cathode electrode materials, research was also carried out on Li-metal and Li-alloy negative anode electrodes. Electrolytes Armand was a pioneer in the development of a polymer electrolytes based on polyethylene oxide-lithium salts PEO:Li [ 54 , 55 ].
