Lithium Ions Batteries Electrodes Materials, Design, Outlook and Future Perspectives

Abstract

With the rapid growth of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) industry and market, it is important to develop LIBs with higher capacities, stability and lifespan. However, challenges like low conductivity, solid electrolyte interface formation and electrode cracking now are in the way, which are closely related to electrode deficiency. Hence, to obtain better performance, the main orientation is to improve electrode materials’ morphological structure. Better porosity, stability and conductivity of anode and cathode materials tangibly improve the performance of LIBs including coulombic efficiency, safety and cyclic lifespan. This review paper will combine current challenges, commonly used and emerging electrode materials together with battery testing methods and their market trend to provide a big picture about LIBs
