  2. 30 Years of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

    Matthew Li, Jun Lü, Zhongwei Chen, et al. · 2018 · Advanced Materials · 6,058 citations

    Over the past 30 years, significant commercial and academic progress has been made on Li-based battery technologies. From the early Li-metal anode iterations to the current commercial Li-ion batteries (LIBs), the story of the Li-based battery is full of breakthroughs and back tracing steps. This review will discuss the main roles of material science in the development of LIBs. As LIB research progresses and the materials of interest change, different emphases on the different subdisciplines of material science are placed. Early works on LIBs focus more on solid state physics whereas near the end of the 20th century, researchers began to focus more on the morphological aspects (surface coatin

  5. Lithium metal anodes for rechargeable batteries

    Wu Xu, Jiulin Wang, Fei Ding, et al. · 2013 · Energy & Environmental Science · 4,725 citations

    Lithium (Li) metal is an ideal anode material for rechargeable batteries due to its extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mA h g−1), low density (0.59 g cm−3) and the lowest negative electrochemical potential (−3.040 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode). Unfortunately, uncontrollable dendritic Li growth and limited Coulombic efficiency during Li deposition/stripping inherent in these batteries have prevented their practical applications over the past 40 years. With the emergence of post-Li-ion batteries, safe and efficient operation of Li metal anodes has become an enabling technology which may determine the fate of several promising candidates for the next generation energy s

  6. Sodium‐Ion Batteries

    Michael Slater, Donghan Kim, Eungje Lee, et al. · 2012 · Advanced Functional Materials · 4,513 citations

    Abstract The status of ambient temperature sodium ion batteries is reviewed in light of recent developments in anode, electrolyte and cathode materials. These devices, although early in their stage of development, are promising for large‐scale grid storage applications due to the abundance and very low cost of sodium‐containing precursors used to make the components. The engineering knowledge developed recently for highly successful Li ion batteries can be leveraged to ensure rapid progress in this area, although different electrode materials and electrolytes will be required for dual intercalation systems based on sodium. In particular, new anode materials need to be identified, since the g

  7. A reflection on lithium-ion battery cathode chemistry

    Arumugam Manthiram · 2020 · Nature Communications · 2,798 citations

    Lithium-ion batteries have aided the portable electronics revolution for nearly three decades. They are now enabling vehicle electrification and beginning to enter the utility industry. The emergence and dominance of lithium-ion batteries are due to their higher energy density compared to other rechargeable battery systems, enabled by the design and development of high-energy density electrode materials. Basic science research, involving solid-state chemistry and physics, has been at the center of this endeavor, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. With the award of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to the development of lithium-ion batteries, it is enlightening to look back at the evolu

  9. Electrical energy storage for transportation—approaching the limits of, and going beyond, lithium-ion batteries

    Michael M. Thackeray, Christopher Wolverton, E. D. Isaacs · 2012 · Energy & Environmental Science · 2,527 citations

    The escalating and unpredictable cost of oil, the concentration of major oil resources in the hands of a few politically sensitive nations, and the long-term impact of CO2 emissions on global climate constitute a major challenge for the 21st century. They also constitute a major incentive to harness alternative sources of energy and means of vehicle propulsion. Today's lithium-ion batteries, although suitable for small-scale devices, do not yet have sufficient energy or life for use in vehicles that would match the performance of internal combustion vehicles. Energy densities 2 and 5 times greater are required to meet the performance goals of a future generation of plug-in hybrid-electric ve

  21. Advanced Polymer Binder for Silicon Anodes Based High Energy Density Lithium Ion Battery

    Feng Zou, Yu Zhu · 2016 · ECS Meeting Abstracts · 1 citations

    The state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries (LIBs) do not have sufficient specific energy for emerging applications such as electrical vehicles. One route to increase the energy density of LIBs is the use of a silicon-based anode. Unlike conventional graphite anodes, which only have capacity of one lithium ion per six carbon atoms (372 mA-h/g), silicon-based anodes have a theoretical capacity of 4.4 lithium ions per silicon atom (4,200 mA-h/g). These results indicate that the Si anode offers great promising for achieving high specific energy LIBs. However, silicon-based anodes have yet to achieve widespread adoption or commercialization due to the large volume change that occurs upon lithia

  22. Strategies for Developing High-Energy Density Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes

    Wang Hay Kan, Guoying Chen · 2017 · ECS Meeting Abstracts

    Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have the potential to meet DOE’s energy and cost goals for transportation applications but significant barriers to commercialization remain. Performance limitations in cathode materials are currently considered as the bottleneck even after decades of intense developmental effort in this area. In order to increase energy density of the state-of-the-art lithium transition-metal oxide (Li-TM oxide) cathodes, strategies for either increasing the operating voltage window or the charge density/capacity of the oxides are needed. It is well-known that when cycled at high voltages (> 4.3 V), Li-TM oxides suffer from structural instability, extensive side
