  2. Chemical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_energy

    Chemical energy is the energy of chemical substances that is released when the substances undergo a chemical reaction and transform into other substances. Some examples of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, [1] food, and gasoline (as well as oxygen gas, which is of high chemical energy due to its relatively weak double bond [2] and indispensable for chemical-energy release in ...

    The heat source should be gasless. The standard heat source typically consists of mixtures of iron powder and potassium perchlorate in weight ratios of 88/12, 86/14, or 84/16. [38] The higher the potassium perchlorate level, the higher the heat output (nominally 200, 259, and 297 cal/g respectively).

  4. Lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

    A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li + ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy. In comparison with other commercial rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries are characterized by higher specific energy, higher energy density, higher energy efficiency, a longer cycle life, and a longer calendar life.

  5. Electric battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

    An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections [1] for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [2]

  6. Solid-state battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_battery

    A solid-state battery (SSB) is an electrical battery that uses a solid electrolyte (solectro) to conduct ions between the electrodes, instead of the liquid or gel polymer electrolytes found in conventional batteries. [1]

    The Leclanché cell can not provide a sustained current for very long. In lengthy conversations, the battery would run down, rendering the conversation inaudible. [12] This is because certain chemical reactions in the cell increase the internal resistance and, thus, lower the voltage.
