In a lithium-ion battery, the cathode and anode materials play a crucial role in the movement and storage of lithium ions during the charging and discharging cycles. Over time, certain regions of these electrodes may become more saturated with lithium ions than others, creating an uneven distribution akin to a partially filled bucket. This uneven distribution can result in reduced battery performance, capacity loss, and a shorter overall lifespan.

Lithium-ion batteries operate based on the movement of lithium ions between the anode and cathode during charge and discharge cycles. During discharge, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte. When the battery is being charged, an external voltage is applied, causing the movement of lithium ions in the opposite direction.
