6	1	Lithium cobalt oxide(LCO)	Lithium Cobalt oxide		Graphite Carbon			high specific energy	short life span, low thermal stability and limited load capabilities (specific power), Cobalt is expensive	mobile phones, laptops and digital cameras
7	2	Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO)	LithiumManganese oxide		Graphite Carbon			lower internal resistance and improved current handling, high thermal stability and enhanced safety	cycle and calendar life are limited	Electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt and BMW i3, Power tools, medical devices, electric powertrains
8	3	Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide (NCA)	Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminium Oxide		Graphite Carbon			high specific energy, reasonably good specific power, long life span	High cost and marginal safety	Medical devices, industrial, electric powertrain (Tesla)
9	4	Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide(NMC)	Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide		Graphite Carbon			good overall performance and excels on specific energy, lowest self-heating rate	high cost due to cobalt	E-bikes, medical devices, EVs, industrial
10	5	Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)	Lithium Iron Phosphate		Graphite Carbon			high current rating and long cycle life, besides good thermal stability, enhanced safety and tolerance if abused.	higher self-discharge, less specific energy	Portable and stationary needing high load currents and endurance
11	6	Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO)	Lithium Manganese Oxide or NMC		LiTi2O3(Titanate)			Fast charging, safe, high discharge current of 10C	Low specific energy	UPS, electric powertrain (Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Honda Fit EV),
