Lithium-ion batteries and beyond - Infographic

This infographic for A-level chemistries students briefly explains how lithium-ion batteries and related battery chemistries like sodium-ion and magnesium-ion batteries work. Due to the low abundance of lithium on Earth, lithium-ion batteries will have to be replaced by these other chemistries in the future. They do, however, work on the same principle as lithium-ion batteries, only the ions are exchanged by sodium or magnesium ions. Sodium-ion batteries are infact already used, for example in electric bikes made by the company Faradion.
