Current Li-ion batteries based on intercalation cathode chemistry leave relatively little room to further enhance the energy density because the specific capacities of these cathodes approach the theoretical levels. Increasing the cell output voltage is a possible direction to largely increase the energy density of batteries.
In order to achieve high energy density batteries, researchers have tried to develop electrode materials with higher energy density or modify existing electrode materials, improve the design of lithium batteries and develop new electrochemical energy systems, such as lithium air, lithium sulfur batteries, etc.
As a general rule, battery designers seek to eliminate or minimize all components other than the ion source itself. They have several options to increase energy density. They can reduce the weight of other battery components, such as electrolytes, separators, and casings.
Strategies such as improving the active material of the cathode, improving the specific capacity of the cathode/anode material, developing lithium metal anode/anode-free lithium batteries, using solid-state electrolytes and developing new energy storage systems have been used in the research of improving the energy density of lithium batteries.
This is the calculation formula of energy density of lithium secondary batteries: Energy density (Wh kg −1) = Q × V M. Where M is the total mass of the battery, V is the working voltage of the positive electrode material, and Q is the capacity of the battery.
The electrode material determines the volume energy density of the battery, so the volume energy density of the battery is forced to increase under the condition that the battery material system and volume are unchanged, which is bound to use thinner separator materials [, , ].
