Brief review on carbon derivatives based ternary metal oxide composite electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Revolutionized lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have taken a very important role in our day today life by powering all sorts of electric devices. The selection of electrode materials is very im-portant, which impacts the electrochemical performance of LIBs. Advancements in the electrode materials and synthesis procedure greatly influence the electrochemical performance. This review discusses the carbon derivatives based ternary composite as electrode mate-rials. A detailed explanation of the ternary electrode materials synthesis and spectroscopic, microscopic and electrochemical analysis of LIBs has been carried out in this study. Ternary composites are composed of highly conducting carbon derivatives, which are incorporated with SnO2/ZnO/MoO3/SiOx and additionally any one metal oxide. Carbon derivatives-based ternary metal oxide composites can exhibit enhanced electrochemical results based on their heterostructures. The availability of more active sites contributes the reversible topotactic reactions during the charging-discharging process due to the porosity and other unique structures of different dimensions of the electrode materials. Concepts and strategies can extend the focus on developing the ternary metal oxides for high-performance LIBs.
