The following graph represents the charge-discharge profile of a Li-ion battery in the 1st and 50th cycles, cycled at a rate of 0.1 C (1C = 274 mA h g-1 ) in the voltage range of 3.0 to 4.6 V. The battery is made up of LiCoO2 cathode and Li anode. Answer the following questions. a. What is the value of charge-discharge current density in this case? How long does it take for this battery to discharge from 4.6 V to 3.0 V in 50th cycle? b. Calculate Coulombic efficiency at 1st and 50th cycles. Why are these values different?
