Recent developments in advanced anode materials for lithium-ion batteries
Energy Materials, 2021
The rapid expansion of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices is the main driver for the improvement of advanced high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The electrochemical performance of LIBs depends on the specific capacity, rate performance and cycle stability of the electrode materials. In terms of the enhancement of LIB performance, the improvement of the anode material is significant compared with the cathode material. There are still some challenges in producing an industrial anode material that is superior to commercial graphite. Based on the different electrochemical reaction mechanisms of anode materials for LIBs during charge and discharge, the advantages/disadvantages and electrochemical reaction mechanisms of intercalation-, conversion- and alloying-type anode materials are summarized in detail here. The methods and strategies for improving the electrochemical performance of different types of anode materials are described in detail. Finally, challenges ...
PROMISING CATHODE MATERIALS FOR RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES: A REVIEW
Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2023
The lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology is getting particular attention because of its effectiveness in small-scale-electronic products such as watches, calculators, torchlights, or mobile phones through to large-scale power systems such as automobiles, trains, ships, submarines, or airplanes. LIBs are widely applied due to their advantages which make them unique. They exhibit greater energy density than other types of rechargeable batteries. LIBs are lightweight with a limited rate of charge loss, a greater number of charge/discharge cycles, no complete discharge is needed, and LIBs function at a higher voltage than other rechargeable batteries. However, LIB is suffering from many disadvantages such as the high risk of bursting, high cost compared to other batteries, battery deterioration after a complete discharge, high sensitivity to high temperatures (fast degradation when exposed to heat), poor rate of capability, very limited lifespan (2-3 years) and not available in standard cells sizes like others. A good choice of cathode materials leads to enhanced performance in LIBs. This work involves a deep comprehension of Liion transport, as well as the mechanism of charge and discharge in LIBs. The impact of the electrode surface and a brief review of the advanced cathode materials for LIBs have been also reported. This work aims to review the latest research works and the progress of advanced cathode materials helping to make higherperformance LIBs for future generations.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Material Revolution to Evolution in Lithium-ion Battery Technology
Turkish Journal of Materials, 2023
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have significantly impacted our lives and are now found in various devices such as cell phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. An appropriate electrolyte was produced in LIBs via a twisting route, which relates to the progress of electrode chemistry. Based on recent research and discoveries, LIB has emerged as the technology of choice for storing electrical energy for use in mobile products and electric vehicles. This is due to LIBs' desirable qualities, such as their lightweight, high-energy density, small size, little memory effect, extended lifespan, and low pollution. In this method, a metal oxide is the cathode, and porous carbon is the anode. The electrochemical interaction of lithium with anode materials can generate intercalation products that are the basis for innovative battery systems. At room temperature, structural retention makes this reaction quick and reversible. This concise overview examines the progress of LIB technology and the impact of the materials used in different technologies on cell performance. The section summarizes the evolution of LIB cells and Li + ion storage into various materials and intercalation chemistry.

Cathode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries: A Brief Review
Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems, 2021
Layered lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) as a pioneer commercial cathode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is unsuitable for the next generation of LIBs, which require high energy density, good rate performance, improved safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. LiCoO 2 suffers from structural instability at a high level of delithiation and performance degradation when overcharged. Besides, cobalt, a significant constituent of LiCoO 2 is more costly and less environmentally friendly than other transition metals. Therefore, alternative cathode materials are being explored to replace LiCoO 2 as cathode materials for high-performance LIBs. These new cathode materials, including lithiated transition metal oxides, vanadium pentoxides, and polyanion-type materials, are reviewed in this study. The various challenges hampering the full integration of these cathode materials in commercial LIBs and viable solutions are emphasised.
Challenges in the development of advanced Li-ion batteries: a review
Energy & Environmental Science, 2011
Li-ion battery technology has become very important in recent years as these batteries show great promise as power sources that can lead us to the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. The development of new materials for Li-ion batteries is the focus of research in prominent groups in the field of materials science throughout the world. Li-ion batteries can be considered to be the most impressive success story of modern electrochemistry in the last two decades. They power most of today's portable devices, and seem to overcome the psychological barriers against the use of such high energy density devices on a larger scale for more demanding applications, such as EV. Since this field is advancing rapidly and attracting an increasing number of researchers, it is important to provide current and timely updates of this constantly changing technology. In this review, we describe the key aspects of Li-ion batteries: the basic science behind their operation, the most relevant components, anodes, cathodes, electrolyte solutions, as well as important future directions for R&D of advanced Li-ion batteries for demanding use, such as EV and load-leveling applications.

Transitioning to electrified transport requires improvements in sustainability, energy density, power density, lifetime, and approved the cost of lithium-ion batteries, with significant opportunities remaining in the development of next-generation cathodes. This presents a highly complex, multiparameter optimization challenge, where developments in cathode chemical design and discovery, theoretical and experimental understanding, structural and morphological control, synthetic approaches, and cost reduction strategies can deliver performance enhancements required in the near- and longer-term. This multifaceted challenge requires an interdisciplinary approach to solve, which has seen the establishment of numerous academic and industrial consortia around the world to focus on cathode development. One such example is the Next Generation Lithium-ion Cathode Materials project, FutureCat, established by the UK’s Faraday Institution for electrochemical energy storage research in 2019, aime...

The high volumetric stack energy density (∼750 Wh L−1) is a must for grasping the practical application of electric vehicles with more than 100 km per day driving range. Such achievement requires significant advances in state-of-the-art battery technologies. The anode-free, derived from the metal-battery concept, germinates as one of the future potential battery configurations due to the highest, nearly theoretical gravimetric and volumetric energy density. Thus, moving from the graphite-based anode, where lithium is stored as ions, to anode-free cells, wherein lithium is plated as metal, can change the scenario of the electrochemical energy storing devices both in terms of energy density and fundamental mechanism. Although an anode-free battery theoretically provides higher stack energy density than a Li-ion battery, current developments are still underoptimized as these can barely hold for several cycles at room temperature due to the absence of an active lithium reservoir and sti...
