Cell reaction is not reversible.
Secondary Cells.
Cell reaction can be reversed by passing
electricity through the cell (charging).
Flow Batteries and Fuel Cells.
Materials pass through the battery which converts
chemical energy to electric energy.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Canada Inc.

FIGURE 20-17
The electrodes of a lithium-ion battery
The positive electrode consists of lithium cobalt(III) oxide, LiCoO
2
, and the
negative electrode is highly crystallized graphite. To complete the battery an
electrolyte is needed, which can consist of an organic solvent and ions, such as
LiPF
6
. The structure of LiCoO
2
, and graphite electrode is illustrated in Figure 20-
17.

In the charging cycle at the positive electrode, lithium ions are released into
the electrolyte solution as electrons are removed from the electrode. To
maintain a charge balance, one cobalt(III) ion is oxidized to cobalt(IV) for
each lithium ion released.

occupying the corners and the faces, the cobalt atoms (pink) occupying half of the
edges, and the lithium atoms occupying half of the edges and the central octahedral

cobalt, and oxygen atoms, as indicated in the figure.
