According to Chinese news, the Market share of Lithium batteries for use in EVs is changing quickly, with market-dominant CATL losing 2.5% share to the rapidly expanding BYD.
One of the most interesting developments of the past 12 months is the huge growth in the use of Lifepo4 batteries, the growth rate of 147% year on year. Whereas, the installed base of ternary batteries was only 80.4%

Checkout this video produced by the Youtube channel – The limiting factor to get a visual understanding of how on an atomic level a Lithium Battery actually works
Here we see Jordan do a very detailed deep dive into the chemical interactions inside the battery cell, atoms, nuclei, and electrons, through ionic movement. His video is highly scientific and really only for those who have the desire to understand batteries and how they work, on an entirely different level.
He also discusses the electronic and ionic movement between the anode and the cathode, travel at different speeds, and how that interaction happens on nano and micro scales.
although the battery in his video is a lithium nickel oxide battery, it is still very informative and it’s visual, so it breaks through reading text on a screen and into another dimension of visual. So you can see exactly what is happening inside these batteries.
Lithium is the holder of electrons, and nickel oxide wants those electrons. So when a charger is attached to a cell, or battery, lithium ions are free’d from the lithium, and they travel across the cathode through the electrolyte solution and end up at the anode. It’s really quite a simple thing, but the fact that we humans have been able to harness this chemical reaction is quite amazing, with a cycle life of some battery chemistry at 100,000 cycles or more.
