Rare and/or expensive battery materials are unsuitable for widespread practical application, and an alternative has to be found for the currently prevalent lithium-ion battery technology. In this review article, we discuss the current state-of-the-art of battery materials from a perspective that focuses on the renewable energy market pull.
New battery materials must simultaneously fulfil several criteria: long lifespan, low cost, long autonomy, very good safety performance, and high power and energy density. Another important criterion when selecting new materials is their environmental impact and sustainability.
6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
The most studied batteries of this type is the Zinc-air and Li-air battery. Other metals have been used, such as Mg and Al, but these are only known as primary cells, and so are beyond the scope of this article.
Some elements, like lithium and nickel, can be used to make many types of batteries. Others like, vanadium and cadmium, are, as of today, only used in one type of battery each. And the vast majority of elements, like the noble gases, don’t have the right chemical properties or, like silver and gold, are just too expensive to use in batteries.
In this review article, we explored different battery materials, focusing on those that meet the criteria of future demand. Transition metals, such as manganese and iron, are safe, abundant choices for intercalation based cathodes, while sulfur has perhaps the highest potential for conversion cathodes.
