Background
Lithium-ion batteries are similar to disposable lithium batteries but have the ability to be recharged. Also they have high energy density and last longer than many similar battery technologies. In the battery cell lithium ions flow through the electrolyte from the anode to the cathode while the battery is being discharged. Upon recharging the battery the lithium ions move back to the anode. This Li-ion battery design is effective for large devices. However, as a more mobile, technology driven society we rely heavily on portable electronics, which require thin batteries for power. Research into thin film batteries has developed over the recent years to accommodate for this demand.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
