Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Up to that time, the best rechargeable battery had been nickel cadmium, which put out a maximum of 1.3 By 1980, they had improved on Whittingham’s design, replacing titanium disulfide with lithium cobalt oxide. It worked by inserting ions into the atomic lattice of a host electrode material—a process called intercalation.
