Efforts in lithium-ion batteries research have been to improve two distinct characteristics: capacity and rate. The capacity of the battery to store energy can be improved through the ability to insert/extract more lithium ions from the electrode. Electrodes capacities are compared through three different measures, based upon capacity per weight, gravimetric capacity, capacity per volume or volumetric capacity, and area normalized specific capacity, areal capacity. Also efforts have focused on improving the rate of discharge, which is based upon the mass and charge transport, electronic and ionic conductivity, and electron-transfer kinetic; easy transport through shorter distance and greater surface area improve the rate performance of the battery.
