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.
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.
There have been immense battery-related technology innovations for over a decade. The top five most researched battery types based on the patents filed are flow batteries, solid-state batteries (Na, Li based), sodium ion, lithium sulphur, and zinc-air battery.
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.
The selection of battery materials significantly depends on open circuit voltage (OCV) of the cell. The OCV relies directly on chemical potential of the electrode materials and is described as where μA and μC are the chemical potentials of the anode and cathode materials, respectively, and F is the Faraday constant.
At present, battery material recycling methods mainly include pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, bio-metallurgy, and physical recycling [ 294 ]. Table 6 lists the advantages and disadvantages of the above four methods.
