Common-ion effect

being one smallest auto manufacturers in the world that they needed strategic partnerships to stay in business. The first partnership that Tesla entered into was being with Daimler in 2010. For a 10% stake in Tesla, Daimler got Tesla’s lithium-ion battery packs into 1,000 of its electric smart cars. With the infusion of capital from Daimler, Tesla could continue with their research and development and stay in business. The investment also enables the two companies to work together further…

Nearly every battery in a phone, laptop or electric car is lithium based. The element lithium is a difficult substance to harvest. It must be evaporated from brine which is found in salt lakes. This brine is pumped from underground to the surface then allowed to evaporate in large pans before being separated by electrolysis. From there the lithium metal oxide is taken to a factory where it is made into battery cells [6]. At the factory the anode and cathode materials are separated for production…

The organization selected for the present paper is Energizer Holding, Incorporated. Energizer recently splint from a parent company and in this paper, I will prepare a strategic plan to grow the business over the next three years. Including in the development of the paper will be a description of the company’s history, products and major competitors. In addition describe what is the current direction of the organization, conduct a quick SWOT analysis to determine areas that offer opportunities…

Implantable cardiac pacemakers By virtue of the light weight and high theoretical capacity of lithium metal, lithium primary batteries have been widespread in health-improving medical devices since the successful implantation of the first lithium-powered pacemaker in 1970s.29, 30 Depending on the power level, implantable medical device primary batteries fall into several categories: low-rate batteries outputting microwatts of power such as batteries for cardiac pacemakers and hearing devices;…

In the past decades, technology has drastically altered our lives, from the way we work to how we communicate to how we fight wars. These technologies have not been without controversy, and many have sparked intense political debates with government intervention always being questioned. Innovation and technology have always brought improved stability and efficiency, however, in past decades the debate on technology safety has become a growing concern as new technologies make their way into…

Grace Bish May 20, 2015 Science Battery Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine which battery brand is the best to buy. Problem: The problem is to figure out which battery brand is the most efficient. Hypothesis: If Duracell Quantum lasts the longest then their commercials are accurate because on the package it states “No alkaline battery lasts longer”. Materials: • 2 fusion AA batteries • 2 energizer Ultimate Lithium AA • 2 Duracell quantum AA • 3 mini Maglite xenon…

The components of the lithium ion batteries include a positive electrode made of metal oxide, negative electrode made of carbon (graphite), a separator made of a micro-porous polymer, and an organic electrolyte (ether) that is made up of dissolved ions of lithium. During recharge, the lithium ions travel from the positive metal oxide to the negatively charged graphite electrode. The reverse flow occurs during discharge (when the battery is in use) (Carnegie, 40; Divya and Østergaard, 513).…

Electric cars versus Gas powered cars Cars are an important part of the human life. It is used for everyday tasks such as commuting to work, school, and events. Humans love to find the fastest, most cost-effective ways to get a job done. Even though the job gets done faster doesn’t mean it 's the most ethical way being done. At the time of the Industrial Revolution is when advanced machinery and mechanics were introduced into society. Creating the need to have better transport for…

Listed below are four different types of rechargeable batteries currently being used. In this section, I will cover: what each battery is, the products they are used by and their impact on the environment. 1. Lithium Ion • The first battery is the Lithium-ion battery, otherwise known as Li-ion. These batteries usually come as small dry-cell batteries,…

In the Bay Back Battery Simulation, I was tasked to use strategic innovation to earn profits for the division of the consumer electronics manufacturer. As the President of Back Bay Battery, Inc., I was responsible for distributing funds for two types of batteries produced by the firm. Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) accounted for 80% of revenue for the firm while Ultracapacitor batteries (UC) only made up 20% revenue (Christensen & Shih, 2012). The company primary products covered portable power…
