Intercalation and tank: what they have in common
- Step 1. Intercalation — is used in — Lithium-ion battery. Lithium ions reversibly enter the lattice of the graphite and the cathode.
- Step 2. Lithium-ion battery — evolved from — Lead–acid battery. The lithium-ion battery is the next generation of rechargeable chemical current sources, with higher specific energy.
- Step 3. Lead–acid battery — is part of — Submarine. Underwater, electric motors run on batteries.
- Step 4. Submarine — has part — Periscope. A periscope.
- Step 5. Periscope — is part of — Tank. Observation devices.
