Select Start > Power > Shut down and wait a moment for your Surface to shut down. Then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds. If you see the logo screen appear after a few seconds, continue to hold for the full 20 seconds until you see the logo screen again. See Force a shut down and restart your Surface for more info.

[15] Handheld electronics mostly use lithium polymer batteries (with a polymer gel as electrolyte), a lithium cobalt oxide ( LiCoO In 2012 John B. Goodenough, Rachid Yazami and Akira Yoshino received the 2012 IEEE Medal for Environmental and Safety Technologies for developing the lithium-ion battery; Goodenough, Whittingham, and Yoshino were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of lithium-ion batteries". [45] Jeff Dahn received the ECS Battery Division Technology Award (2011) and the Yeager award from the International Battery Materials Association (2016). An electrical cell is an object that holds chemical energy. There is a potential difference, or a voltage, between its two poles. In 1980 Rachid Yazami demonstrated reversible electrochemical intercalation of lithium in graphite, [33] [34] and invented the lithium graphite electrode (anode). [35] [36] Yazami's work was limited to solid electrolyte ( polyethylene oxide), because liquid solvents tested by him and before co-intercalated with Li+ ions into graphite, resuling in the electrode's crumbling and short cycle life.

Above is the symbol of an electrical cell, and below is the symbol of a battery, Wikimedia Commons. When Smart charging is on, you’ll see a heart on the Battery icon in the following places—on the right side of the taskbar and in Power & battery settings. When your hover over the Battery icon with your mouse, it says “Fully Smart charged” and means the battery isn’t charging even though your device is still plugged in. In this case, the battery level may be lower than 100%. This is intentional and helps protect your battery. How Smart charging works Current collector design and surface treatments may take various forms: foil, mesh, foam (dealloyed), etched (wholly or selectively), and coated (with various materials) to improve electrical characteristics. [50]To understand what batteries are, we first need to understand what an electrical cell is. Electrical cells These early attempts to develop rechargeable Li-ion batteries used lithium metal anodes, which were ultimately abandoned due to safety concerns, as lithium metal is unstable and prone to dendrite formation, which can cause short-circuiting. The eventual solution was to use an intercalation anode, similar to that used for the cathode, which prevents the formation of lithium metal during battery charging. A variety of anode materials were studied. In physics and electrical engineering, there exist symbols for every element in an electrical circuit, and cells and batteries are no exception. See the figure below for the symbols for an electrical cell and a battery.

Research on rechargeable Li-ion batteries dates to the 1960s; one of the earliest examples is a CuF In 1980 working in separate groups Ned A. Godshall et al., [30] [31] [32] and, shortly thereafter, Koichi Mizushima and John B. Goodenough, after testing a range of alternative materials, replaced TiS In 1985, Akira Yoshino at Asahi Kasei Corporation discovered that petroleum coke, a less graphitized form of carbon, can reversibly intercalate Li-ions at a low potential of ~0.5 V relative to Li+ /Li without structural degradation. [37] Its structural stability originates from the amorphous carbon regions in petroleum coke serving as covalent joints to pin the layers together. Although the amorphous nature of petroleum coke limits capacity compared to graphite (~Li0.5C6, 0.186 Ah g–1), it became the first commercial intercalation anode for Li-ion batteries owing to its cycling stability. Remember that the voltage determines how much energy a unit charge gains when travelling through the voltage difference. The work Wdone on a particle with a charge qthat travels through a voltage Vis given by the product of the charge and the voltage, The most common commercially used anode is graphite, which in its fully lithiated state of LiC 6 correlates to a maximal capacity of 1339 C/g (372 mAh/g). [51] The cathode is generally one of three materials: a layered oxide (such as lithium cobalt oxide), a polyanion (such as lithium iron phosphate) or a spinel (such as lithium manganese oxide). [52] More experimental materials include graphene-containing electrodes, although these remain far from commercially viable due to their high cost.
