A IPS (Li-ion) battery is a type of rechargeable battery commonly used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. It is popular due to its high energy density, lightweight design, and ability to hold a charge for extended periods.

How a IPS Battery Works:

 A IPS operates through the movement of lithium ions between two electrodes:
the anode (negative electrode) and the cathode (positive
electrode). Here’s a breakdown of its working principle:

Electrodes and Electrolyte:

• The anode is typically made of graphite.
• The cathode is usually composed of a lithium metal oxide (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate).
• The electrolyte is a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent, which allows lithium ions to move between the electrodes.

Charging Process:

• When the battery is charged, lithium ions move from the cathode to the anode through the electrolyte.
• Electrons flow through the external circuit to the anode, balancing the charge.
• The anode stores the lithium ions in its structure.
