How do lithium-ion batteries actually store and release energy?

The science inside lithium-ion batteries - with the Faraday Institution · 6:21 · Video: The Royal Institution · Watch at the source

In short: Explore the fundamental chemistry powering our modern world. This presentation breaks down the internal mechanisms of lithium-ion technology and the science of electrochemical energy storage.

Professor Louis Piper, a lead researcher at the Faraday Institution and the University of Warwick's WMG, explains the inner workings of lithium-ion cells. The video explores how these batteries manage the movement of energy to power everything from vehicles to electronics.

The discussion is supported by the work of the Faraday Institution, an independent UK institute dedicated to advancing electrochemical storage research, market analysis, and the commercialisation of new electrical storage technologies.
