Lithium Battery Chemistry: How is the voltage and capacity of a cell

Lithium-based cells – whether solid-state battery or conventional Li-ion battery – are basically similar in structure. There are two electrodes (positive and negative) with a separator between them. When charging, ions migrate from the positive side (cathode) to the negative side (anode) and when discharging, the ions migrate back again. Because the separator is
