Science and Applications of Mixed Conductors for Lithium Batteries

@article{Thackeray2000ScienceAA,  title={Science and Applications of Mixed Conductors for Lithium Batteries},  author={Michael M. Thackeray and John O. Thomas and M. Stanley Whittingham},  journal={MRS Bulletin},  year={2000},  volume={25},  pages={39-46},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:98644365}}
Mixed conductors show significant mobility of both electronic and ionic species and were the subject of an earlier review in MRS Bulletin. The current review is restricted to those mixed conductors of interest for use in lithium batteries, with an emphasis on commercialization. The first lithium batteries were primary cells using pure lithium anodes and carbon monofluoride or manganese oxide as the cathode. Both were developed in Japan, the former for use in fishing floats and the latter for…
