Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. By Christmas, he had developed a battery with a titanium-disulfide cathode and a liquid electrolyte that used lithium ions. Here, the story of the lithium-ion battery’s journey to commercialization gets hazy.
