3. Lithium batteries
3.1 Different families of lithium batteries and operating principle
The current use of lithium (Li) in batteries for portable and on-board applications is due to the fact that it is the lightest metal currently known (with a density of 535 kg/m 3 ). In addition, as the Li + /Li oxidation-reduction couple has a high redox potential, lithium is proving to be an element of choice in the manufacture of accumulators, as it leads to cells with a high nominal voltage, ranging from approximately 2 to 4.5 V depending on the material combinations chosen.
