Lithium-ion Batteries

Why in news? Lithium-ion batteries have been identified as a priority segment under India’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme to boost domestic production and reduce import dependence.
Lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move between the anode and cathode through an electrolyte during charge–discharge cycles.
Key features:
•    High energy and power density
•    Long cycle life
•    Low self-discharge
•    Lower environmental impact at point of use
Significance for India:
•    Enables electric vehicles and renewable energy storage
•    Reduces reliance on imported batteries and critical components
•    Supports Make in India and clean energy transition
•    Helps India achieve greenhouse mitigation targets
