Three important developments regarding lithium batteries occurred in the 1980s. In 1980, an American chemist, John B. Goodenough, discovered the LiCoO 2 (Lithium cobalt oxide) cathode (positive lead) and a Moroccan research scientist, Rachid Yazami, discovered the graphite anode (negative lead) with the
Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (UK: / ˈ v ɒ l t ə /, US: / ˈ v oʊ l t ə /; Italian: [alesˈsandro ˈvɔlta]; 18 February 1745 – 5 March 1827) was an Italian chemist and physicist who was a pioneer of electricity and power, [1] [2] [3] and is credited as the inventor of the electric battery and the discoverer of methane.
The voltaic pile was the first electrical battery that could continuously provide an electric current to a circuit. [1] It was invented by Italian chemist Alessandro Volta, who published his experiments in 1799. [2]
The battery employed soft carbon (rather than graphite) anode and LiCoO2 cathode. Sony's success with the development of lithium-ion battery manufacturing benefited from the company's prior experience with manufacturing monodisperse (20 μm) metal oxide microparticles and with coating processes for magnetic tapes.

The Baghdad Battery is the name given to a set of three artifacts which were found together: a ceramic pot, a tube of copper, and a rod of iron. It was discovered in present-day Khujut Rabu , Iraq in 1936, close to the ancient city of Ctesiphon , the capital of the Parthian (150 BC – 223 AD) and Sasanian (224–650 AD) empires, and it is ...
The battery’s combined qualities (or “multifunctionality”) make it 10 times better than any previous massless battery—a project scientists have worked on since 2007.
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta invented the battery. 1804: Thomas Young: Wave theory of light, Vision and color theory: 1808: Atomic theory by John Dalton: 1816: English inventor Francis Ronalds built the first working electric telegraph. 1820: Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted accidentally discovered that an electric field creates a ...
Investigators interviewed more than 40 women who accused Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander of sex crimes. Alleged victims recounted the attacks in new footage released by prosecutors.
