In the chemical industry, lithium-based batteries are working most efficiently and replacing nickel-cadmium batteries. To study a redox reaction in a lithium battery let's take the example of Lithium Cobalt Oxide(LiCoO2).
Following is the overall reaction taking place in Lithium Cobalt Oxide battery. Reduction and oxidation takes place at Cathode and Anode respectively. that is why it is called a redox reaction.
Since energy can’t be created or destroyed, and water loses potential energy when it freezes to form ice. The energy remains electrical but then changes to kinetic when Enough energy is released.
It was due to the metal foil in which the alpha particles can't even pass through. This experiment conducted by Rutherford led to the discovery of protons.
