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)
“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.)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
