  Researchers power up new lithium battery for hybrid cars
The white layers are composed of nickel manganese oxide, and the dark layers represent lithium.
Lithium nickel manganese oxide consists of layers of metal (nickel and manganese) separated from lithium layers by oxygen.
Lithium ions carry the battery's charge, so to maximize the speed at which the battery can charge and discharge, the researchers designed and synthesized a material with a very ordered crystalline structure, allowing lithium ions to freely flow between the metal layers.

Lithium ion batteries use host materials for the electrodes (for example, carbon as the anode and lithium cobalt oxide as the cathode) to avoid using metallic lithium, thereby improving safety.
During charge and discharge of lithium ion rechargeable batteries, lithium ions are shuttled between the cathode and anode host materials in a "rocking horse" fashion.

 How does a lithium battery work?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Lithium batteries work by shuttling lithium ions between the anode and cathode of the battery.
The anode, source of the ions and electrons, is elemental lithium (or a lithium-containing compound) and the cathode, receptor of the ions and electrons, is a material capable of accepting lithium ions into its structure.
When a battery is discharged, lithium ions flow from the anode to the cathode, accompanied by electrons.
