They are also one band lower on the periodic table. That's a lot of mass, and the ionization metrics are worse.

- pfdietz 3y agoLithium is only a small fraction of the mass of Li-ion batteries. Also, Li does not change oxidation state in Li-ion batteries, so its energy of ionization doesn't affect the voltage of the cell.
- KRAKRISMOTT 3y agoWon't it at least affect the redox electrode potential?
- pfdietz 3y agoI don't see why that would be expected to be in lithium's favor, though.
