A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used for portable electronics and electric vehicles and are growing in popularity for military and aerospace applications A prototype Li-ion battery was developed by Akira Yoshino in 1985, based on earlier research by John Goodenough, M Stanley Whittingham, Rachid Yazami and Koichi Mizushima during the 1970s–1980s, and then a commercial Li-ion battery was developed by a Sony and Asahi Kasei team led by Yoshio Nishi in 1991 In 2019, The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was given to Yoshino, Goodenough, and Whittingham "for the development of lithium ion batteries" In the batteries, lithium ions move from the negative electrode through an electrolyte to the positive electrode during discharge, and back when charging
