You asked so I'll tell you: there is no way to construct a simple lithium ion battery.
A lithium ion battery has a lithium cobalt oxide anode and a carbon cathode. The electrolyte is usually ether. There's a sheet of microperforated plastic in it that serves as a separator.
So far that doesn't seem very hard to do, right? Here's your problem: the electrolyte. Ether is both extremely volatile and extremely flammable, which is why it's used to start diesel engines in cold weather. There is a computer in a lithium ion battery pack to keep the battery from overheating (which would make it more likely to ignite), and the plastic between the two poles helps prevent short circuits.
If this is for a science project, make an acid-electrolyte battery. I would use acetic acid in it. There are two good sources of strong acetic acid: camera stores with darkroom departments (you can get either 28 percent acid or "glacial"--full-strength; if you have the choice get the glacial because you'll get more electron flow through it) or Oriental food stores who sell "vinegar concentrate" from Germany. I think you need really strong vinegar to make some Oriental dishes; whatever the reason, they all have it. Then get lots of different metals to use as plates in the battery.

Which is better lithium or lithium-ion battery?
Yukinova - As a leading Lithium ion battery manufacturer and expert I share my knowledge and experience about lithium battery and Lithium ion Battery The comparison between lithium and lithium-ion batteries involves understanding the fundamental differences in their chemistry and usage. Lithium batteries typically refer to disposable primary batteries that use lithium in metallic form as an anode. These batteries are non-rechargeable and are commonly found in devices like cameras, watches, and certain medical devices. On the other hand, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are rechargeable batteries that use lithium ions as the charge carriers. They are widely used in various applications, including consumer electronics (laptops, smartphones), electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Lithium-ion batteries are known for their rechargeability, higher energy density, and longer cycle life compared to traditional lithium batteries. In summary, the choice between lithium and lithium-ion depends on the specific requirements of the application. If you need a disposable, one-time use battery, a lithium battery might be suitable. For applications requiring rechargeable batteries with higher energy density and longer life, lithium-ion batteries are the preferred choice.
What type of battery is currently used with notebooks?
Lithium Ion Battery
Are lithium-ion batteries going to be replaced by a new battery technology?
As with all technology, lithium-ion batteries wil eventually be replaced. A new combination of chemicals will be discovered and the litium-ion batteries will be knocked down in popularity. Cuurently lithium-ion batteries are the easiest, especially with the products they are used in. A litium-ion battery has a great battery life, but the length of life and strength of a battery is what consumers want, so when a new battery is created, with new chemicals, which provide a longer battery life, then the lithium-ion battery will no longer be the best.
