Lithium (Li) metal is widely recognized as a highly promising negative electrode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to its exceptional specific capacity (3860 mAh g −1), low electrochemical potential (−3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and low density (0.534 g cm −3).
This mini-review discusses the recent trends in electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. Elemental doping and coatings have modified many of the commonly used electrode materials, which are used either as anode or cathode materials. This has led to the high diffusivity of Li ions, ionic mobility and conductivity apart from specific capacity.
In commercialized LIBs, Li insertion materials that can reversibly insert and extract Li-ions coupled with electron exchange while maintaining the framework structure of the materials are used as both positive and negative electrodes.
Positive electrodes for Li-ion and lithium batteries (also termed “cathodes”) have been under intense scrutiny since the advent of the Li-ion cell in 1991. This is especially true in the past decade.
They are also grateful to all of the anonymous reviewers for providing useful comments and suggestions that resulted in the improved quality of this paper. Electrode material aging leads to a decrease in capacity and/or a rise in resistance of the whole cell and thus can dramatically affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
Cathode materials determine significantly not only the performance of lithium-ion batteries but also their calendar and cycle lives.
