Energy & environment Side-by-side comparison

Lithium-ion charge and discharge

Compare ion transport and external electron flow across two states.

AI-generated conceptual examples for visual inspiration, not experimental results.

Reference prompt

Replace the example subjects, steps and findings with your research before generating.

Create a conceptual rechargeable lithium-ion cell comparison. Align Charging and Discharging cutaways with the negative electrode on the left, separator and electrolyte in the middle and positive electrode on the right. During charging show Li+ moving right to left, from positive to negative; reverse this during discharge. Show electrons in an external circuit with a source or load. Use white, pale blue electrodes, teal ions and clear arrows. Omit capacities, voltages and electrode formulas.

Use the prompt to start with the example description, or use the image as a composition reference while keeping your own text.

Browsing and copying are free. Generation uses the credits shown in the maker.

Adapt it to your research

  1. Replace the cell chemistry and electrode materials.
  2. Check ion and electron paths separately.
  3. Keep electrode positions consistent across both states.
