  1. Rechargeable batteries! By: Jasmina (Nina) Jovanovic

  2. Chemistry behind batteries: Battery – a group of two or more galvanic cells connected in series 1. Disposable batteries - primary cell ( cannot be recharged) 2. Rechargeable batteries- secondary cell ( can be recharged) A galvanic cell - spontaneously produce electric current Half cell= electrode + electrolyte

  3. Chemistry behind batteries: • A battery with two electrodes  voltaic cell. • Electrical current runs in between the battery’s two electrodes • Electrolyte - in liquid or solid state • Electrolyte- contains ions

  4. Chemistry behind batteries: What are rechargeable batteries? • Known as storage batteries due to their ability to accumulate and store energy • Group of one or more electrochemical cells • Known as secondary cells since its electrochemical reactions are electrically reversible • Standard power source for today’s products • Exist in many shapes and sizes

  5. Chemistry behind batteries : • Batteries made up of plates • Device connects= electrons move to the +’ve side Secondary cell: • External source of electrical energy is required • Redox reaction needs to be reversed • Allows it to be reused

  6. Current produces through an electrochemical reaction involving anode, cathode, and electrolyte • Electrons flow from one electrode to another through an electrolyte • Outside source is used to apply the electrical energy to a secondary cell • (-) to (+) electron flow that happens during discharge is reversed, and the cell’s charge is restored.

  7. The Different Types of Rechargeable Battery:-Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)-Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)-Lithium-ion (Li-ion)- Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) • Better option than disposable batteries • Reduce the amount of waste generated

  8. Advantages of using Rechargeable batteries: • Help the environment • Convenience • Cost efficient • Better performance

  9. Disadvantages of using rechargeable batteries: • Charging • Hazard • Uses

  10. Capacity of a standard rechargeable battery before it has to be recharged:

  11. Methods that should be used for disposing batteries: • Alkaline and carbon-zinc batteries, and individual NiMH batteries =disposed with the regular household trash. • Batteries that are before1996 ( large amount of mercury)=hazardous waste • Button batteries containing mercury oxide, silver oxide and zinc-air cells, and sealed lead-acid batteries=hazardous waste. • Avoid disposing too many batteries, together at once • Car batteries that contain lead should be brought only to waste management centres.

  12. Impact of the rechargeable batteries in portable electronic devices on society: • New electronics • No need for changing batteries constantly • Provides people with more powerful, reliable, and reusable-costing. • Many portable electronic devices use only rechargeable batteries • Helped many companies develop in many industries
