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:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“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)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
