This animation walks you through the process. A battery is made up of an anode, cathode, separator, electrolyte, and two current collectors (positive and negative). The anode and cathode store the lithium. The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through the separator.
The direction of the ion movement acts to prevent a charge build-up at either the anode or the cathode. In most practical battery systems, the same electrolyte is used for both the anode and the cathode, and ion transport can take place via the electrolyte itself, eliminating the need for a salt bridge.
In the case of a lithium-ion battery, the lithium ions are ‘tied’ to an electron within the structure of the anode. When the battery discharges, the intercalated lithium ions are released from the anode, and then travel through the electrolyte solution to be absorbed (intercalated) in the cathode.
The prediction of the energy of batteries in terms of cohesive and aqueous ionization energies is in excellent agreement with experiment. Since the electrical energy released is equal to the reduction in Gibbs energy, which is the hallmark of a spontaneous process, the analysis also explains why specific electrochemical processes occur.
The current in the battery arises from the transfer of electrons from one electrode to the other. During discharging, the oxidation reaction at the anode generates electrons and reduction reaction at the cathode uses these electrons, and therefore during discharging, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode.
Ion movement in the salt bridge completes the electric circuit. Once this conceptual understanding has been established, one can remind students that oxidation is loss (“OIL”) and reduction is gain (“RIG”) of electrons and introduce the definitions of anode and cathode with useful mnemonics (ANode with OXidation, REDuction at the CAThode).
