Lithium-ion AA battery with LiCaO2 as the cathode and graphite-like ca
rbon as the anode is developed. Performance versus modification of the
anode such as copper-foil type, additive, paste-mixing method, materi
al treatment, and electrode treatment, etc., is studied. Finally, an A
A battery with 500 mAh capacity and good cycle life is developed. (C)
