What is the difference between a lithium battery, a lithium ion battery, and a lithium polymer battery?

Different principles, first talk about lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries (polymers are also lithium-ion batteries),

Lithium batteries are a kind of lithium metal or lithium alloy as a negative electrode material. Because of the very active chemical properties of lithium metal, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal are very demanding on the environment. The negative electrode of the lithium ion battery is an intercalation structure material such as graphite. In the battery, lithium ions move in the positive and negative electrodes, so it is much safer than the lithium battery. Say again

Lithium-ion battery and lithium polymer battery,

The lithium ion battery electrolyte is a liquid, and the electrolyte of the polymer battery is gel or solid, which is safer.

First of all

Our current lithium battery, according to the scientific name, should be called lithium secondary battery, there is a corresponding negative electrode material, and lithium primary battery is different, primary battery is mainly lithium is the other pole, this type of battery generally uses liquid electrolyte, nowadays Mainly based on LiPF6, LiClO4 dissolved in DMC: EC (v: v = 1:1) in the electrolyte, and some have also been modified, but still a liquid battery.

Polymer lithium battery, from the perspective of the internal material of the battery, mainly the internal electrolyte is a polymer, here is generally a gel electrolyte and a solid electrolyte, if not mistaken, Koreans have published a PEO-ionic liquid as an electrolyte The gel-like battery, I don't know if it is used on GalaxyRound or LGGFlex.

Second

The lithium polymer battery box lithium battery is slightly different in packaging. The lithium battery is generally a steel shell (18650 or button type 2320), and the lithium polymer battery is packaged in an aluminum plastic packaging film, that is, a soft pack battery.

Of course, there are lithium batteries with all-solid electrolytes such as LiPON, NASICON, perovskite, LiSICON, such as ceramic electrolytes with high conductivity or amorphous materials. If classified, they should be classified as lithium secondary batteries. But this is already an extension of the concept.

Finally, lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are generally non-rechargeable and contain metallic lithium. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. Lithium batteries, lithium ion batteries, and lithium polymer batteries are different in principle.
