The following are notes on battery history
- History of Batteries
- 2000 years ago Baghdad battery
- created in Mesopotamia
- Jar of ceramics created with a speculated structure of copper with walls of iron
- if filled with unknown composition of electrolytes meets the requirements for a battery
- Maybe used to plate gold onto silver?
- 200 Years Ago Animal Electricity
- Galvani while doing a dissection a steel scalpel touched a brass hook that was holding a frog leg in place
- Battery composition
- Steel scalpel has iron
- brass hook has copper
- preservatives acted as electrolytes
- First Battery
- Voltaic Pile
- set of individual galvanic cells placed in series
- copper and zinc stacked together with electrolytes sandwiching the two metals
- History of electrochemical energy storage
- Galvani
- Volta - Voltaic Pile
- Daniell - Zn/Cu Cell
- Faraday - Basic Principles of electrochemistry
- Grove - H2/02 cell
- Plante - Lead Acid Cell
- Leclanche - Zn Carbon dry cell
- Edison Zn/Ni and Fe/Ni cells
- Modern Batteries
- modern development started around half a century ago
- Solid Electrolytes
- 1966 Yao and Kummer Beta Alumina Solid Electrolyte: Fast Na Ion Conductor
- birthed solid state ionics
- Rubidium silver iodide
- Internal Phenomena
- Whittingham steele insertion reaction electrodes
- created Le/TiS2 cells
- Sony commercialized the first Lithium ion batteries
