This module defines the abstract base classes for battery-related classes.
Regardless of the kind of electrode, conversion or insertion, there are many
common definitions and properties, e.g., average voltage, capacity, etc. which
can be defined in a general way. The Abc for battery classes implements some of
these common definitions to allow sharing of common logic between them.

[docs]class AbstractElectrode(Sequence, MSONable):
"""
An Abstract Base Class representing an Electrode. It is essentially a
sequence of VoltagePairs. Generally, subclasses only need to implement
three abstract properties: voltage_pairs, working_ion and
working_ion_entry.
The general concept is that all other battery properties such as capacity,
etc. are derived from voltage pairs.
One of the major challenges with representing battery materials is keeping
track of the normalization between different entries. For example, one
entry might be TiO2 with one unit cell whereas another is LiTi2O4 with two
unit cells. When computing battery properties, it is needed to always use
a universal reference state otherwise you have normalization errors (e.g.,
the energy of LiTi2O4 must be divided by two to be compared with TiO2).
For properties such as volume, mass, or mAh transferred within the voltage
pair, a universal convention is necessary. AbstractElectrode can query for
extrinsic properties of several different AbstractVoltagePairs belonging to
a single charge/discharge path and be confident that the normalization is
being carried out properly throughout, even if more AbstractVoltagePairs
are added later.
The universal normalization is defined by the reduced structural framework
of the entries, which is common along the entire charge/discharge path. For
example, LiTi2O4 has a reduced structural framework of TiO2. Another
example is Li9V6P16O58 which would have a reduced structural framework of
V3P8O29. Note that reduced structural frameworks need not be
charge-balanced or physical, e.g. V3P8O29 is not charge-balanced, they are
just a tool for normalization.
Example: for a LiTi2O4 -> TiO2 AbstractVoltagePair, extrinsic quantities
like mAh or cell volumes are given per TiO2 formula unit.
Developers implementing a new battery (other than the two general ones
already implemented) need to implement a VoltagePair and an Electrode.
